Tyson came out firing for the first two rounds. Then Father Time reminded him he's 58 years old. After that Tyson looked gassed.

Paul fought very smart. He stayed away, wasn't aggressive, and landed shots from a distance.

Neither man was ever in trouble.

Paul wins by decision.

The most interesting thing that happened was Ranallo arguing with Roy Jones Jr on commentary over Tyson constantly biting his glove. Jones thought he was having mouthpiece issues. Ranallo was pointing out that Tyson has always bit his glove during fights.

After the decision they talked to the fighters together. Jake, at 27, wasn't winded and talked without issue. Tyson was still breathing hard and confirmed he was biting his glove. He said, "I've got a biting fixation."

To his credit, Jake confirmed he was scared to get close to Tyson, so staying away was clearly the game plan.

Sadly, Mike wouldn't say he's retired. Ugh. Mike looks so gassed I genuinely worried he was going to die.

So I learned that if you're fighting Tyson, just ran away 10 feet and you'll have no issues.

Man, sure was nice of the internet to try and show me that 1,000 times today.

That's what happens when something of cultural relevance occurs and 60M homes tune in to watch.

Got to beat that horse to death to make sure we've got every penny squeezed out of it.

Jake Paul is now ranked.

We all know this is a sideshow and he's picking perfect opponents who are happily taking a check to not knock him out. But give credit where it's due. He's made a fuckton of money, he hasn't looked embarrassing, and now the world organization has given him credibility.

Let's see if he accepts a real fight now...
