TEXAS: Mike Tyson\u2019s controversial return to boxing ended in a one-sided defeat on Friday, with Youtuber-turned-prizefighter Jake Paul cruising to victory by unanimous decision against the heavyweight icon in Texas.<\/p>\n
Tyson, 58, barely landed a punch during the eight-round bout at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, with Paul winning by big margins on all three cards \u2014 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73.<\/p>\n
Paul, 27, used his superior speed and movement to dominate the aging Tyson with ease and had the former undisputed heavyweight champion in trouble after landing a flurry of punches in the third round.<\/p>\n
Yet the younger fighter was unable to land the knockout blow he had promised to deliver during Thursday\u2019s ill-tempered weigh-in, where Tyson slapped him across the face.<\/p>\n
Tyson, however, looked every bit of his 58 years, managing to land only a handful of meaningful punches during the fight.<\/p>\n
Final statistics showed Tyson connected with just 18 of 97 punches thrown while Paul threw some 278 punches and landed 78 of them.<\/p>\n
As the final seconds of the eighth round counted down, Paul could even afford to bow in respect to Tyson before the bell sounded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
