Outside of the first two rounds, Paul was in complete control of the fight. He was constantly landing his jap effectively on Tyson and as the fight went on, it was apparent that Tyson was wearing down. As the hype wore off, reality started to set in as the younger fighter started to assert his dominance in the ring. Fans became frustrated and you could hear boos in the stadium. The fans wanted more action but both fighters were cautious with each other and were trying to avoid getting hurt.
Streaming issues
Throughout the whole boxing card, Netflix was experiencing a lot of buffering. Fans grew frustrated as dealing with the uncertainty. Leading up to the main event card, Netflix was experiencing a lot of buffering issues and fans started to panic. As both fighters were making their ring entrance, the platform started buffering. Fortunately, once both fighters were in the ring, Netflix had no more issues moving forward. But fans took to social media to complain about the service provider.

Great job @netflix. I guess we learned you all are not equipped to handle a massive event. Buffering interruptions, people getting dropped, platform crashing with errors. pic.twitter.com/QUwJW4By49

The fight did not live up to the hype but everyone tuned in to see if the old man could school the youngster. That didn’t happen and Jake Paul found another way to finesse everyone while getting everyone paid in the process. Paul is expected to make at least $40 million guaranteed while Tyson is expected to make at least $20 million guaranteed. Looks like Tyson got a generous retirement package. When Tyson was asked if he’ll retire during the post-fight interview, he replied.
“I don’t think so,” Tyson replied to Ariel Helwani in the ring when asked if this would be his final fight. “It depends on the situation.”
“I don’t think so, I don’t know, maybe I’ll fight his brother [Logan Paul].”
Logan Paul then appeared shocked at the challenge, simply replying: “I’d kill you Mike.”
so let me get this straight. they hyped the jake paul vs mike tyson fight up SO much only for them to be an HOUR late, for there to be barely any hits, and for jake paul’s score to be ahead of mike even though the most he’s done is hug him..don’t ever piss me off like that again pic.twitter.com/In0SOR3FMX

Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul clearly a rigged fight ????
Could tell from the ring walk Tyson looked like he knew and cba.
Post fight just playing the part complimenting JakeTyson was just jabbing and holding back any big rights. You could see from his training for the fight he can… pic.twitter.com/PltT7N19XR
