ARLINGTON, TEXAS – Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson by unanimous decision on Friday night in Texas.
The anti-Paul crowd, and especially the pro-Tyson crowd, has been in a frenzy since Amanda Serrano got robbed against Katie Taylor in the previous fight.
Paul came out to Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight,” pulling Tyson’s appearance from “The Hangover.” Meanwhile, Tyson’s hit music roused the entire crowd.

Paul just leaned on Tyson, which earned him a lot of boos – it was a good idea, as Tyson was getting his shot early. But Paul clearly held his own in the first round.
Paul connected with a left in the third, and Tyson began to show his age. From that moment on, the riot has turned into a riot, even the masses of people could not control themselves, many headed for the exit before the announcement of the results.

AT&T Stadium has tried desperately to support Tyson every time he comes to anything, but to no avail. Paul bowed to Tyson before the final bell, and the two shared a long hug.
Tyson said he wasn’t sure if this would be his last fight, but joked about fighting Paul’s brother, Logan.
They didn’t say they were surprised that it went a long way, Tyson said he was happy with what he did in the ring – he said he wasn’t in the ring to please the world, to show himself what he could do.
The former heavyweight champion added that Paul “absolutely” deserves respect as a boxer.
