Many fans walked out after the final bell before the result was announced
Jake Paul beat boxing veteran Mike Tyson in a points decision, on the 58-year-old's return to the ring. Over the eight-round contest, Paul dominated on the scorecards but failed to knock out Tyson, who was engaging in his first competitive fight in four years and his first official bout in nearly two decades.
Post recovery, the rescheduled event featured Paul making an entrance with brother Logan in a signature Chevy, set to the tunes of Phil Collins' 'In The Air Tonight', hinting at Tyson's popular scene in 'The Hangover'. Tyson, in contrast, went for a stark approach, entering the match clad in black without pomp.
By the third round, Tyson seemed to be struggling with Paul's increased pressure, suggesting his best chance of victory had passed. Fans hoping for a resurgence of Iron Mike in the ring were likely disappointed, although Paul wasn't landing punches freely. In the penultimate session, Paul increased his intensity but still seemed hesitant to fully commit. A four-punch combination landed at the end of the round, but Tyson took it well.
The rematch lived up to expectations, with Taylor being deducted a point before being declared the winner with a score of 95-94 from each of the three judges. Mario Barrios managed to retain his welterweight world title after recovering from a sixth-round knockdown to force a draw with Abel Ramos.
