Comment on Jake Paul's wiki page described him as a professional boxer instead of exhibitionist.

“I do not like Jake Paul and therefore Jake Paul could not have won the fight legitimately” isn’t evidence that the fight was fixed. Paul was fighting a man 31 years his senior and several inches shorter. It’s not rocket science. Everyone wanted Tyson to knock Paul out, but this isn’t Hollywood.

You keep telling yourself that. Tyson barely threw a punch.
Kid yourself all you want, but don’t try and contaminate the rest of the world with your nonsense.
Tyson reportedly interested in Turki Alalshikh’s offer, never got a reply from Jake Paul.

Tyson barely threw a punch because he’s ancient and knew Paul could counterpunch much faster than Tyson could react. Tyson knew he was fighting an uphill battle and chose to be very conservative with his approach. Which was a smart idea. He didn’t want to get knocked out like Tyron Woodley did.
Do you actually follow combat sports at all, or do you only show up when a YouTuber is on the fight card? If the latter, I could understand why you might think the way you do. If you actually follow combat sports or have any understanding of how they work, it’s obvious that the fight didn’t need to be fixed. There’s a reason 58-year-old boxers don’t fight 27-year-old boxers. It’s boring and one-sided.
Again, “I do not like Jake Paul” is not actual evidence that the fight was fixed. Please feel free to provide any actual evidence you might have supporting your position, though.

😅😅🤡
You’re only saving grace is that you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

And yet you refuted no part of my argument and did nothing to lend credence to your own 🤔
The ignorant party here is you. But by all means continue laboring under the delusion that you understand boxing because you watched the highlights of one YouTuber fighting a geriatric in an exhibition.
