ake Paul Admits He Went Easy on Mike Tyson, Didn’t Want to Hurt Him
Jake Paul: “I Showed Mike Tyson Mercy in the Fight!”
In a shocking statement, Jake Paul recently admitted that he “went easy” on boxing legend Mike Tyson during their controversial bout at AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX. According to Paul, he realized that Tyson, at 58 years old, was struggling and didn’t want to cause any more harm to “Iron Mike.” However, this revelation left many boxing fans surprised and questioning the truth behind the fight.
Jake Paul Went Easy, But Is It True?
The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson ended with Jake winning by unanimous decision, but immediately after the match, Jake Paul stunned everyone by revealing that he had intentionally slowed down his pace. “I didn’t want to hurt Mike. He’s already great, and I didn’t want him to suffer any more pain,” Jake shared. This was completely contrary to what fans had expected, as Jake was believed to have been in a position to end the fight early.
A Boxing Legend, But Does He Still Have the Power?
Jake also stated that he didn’t feel the power of Tyson’s punches, but this didn’t surprise him, as it’s something that often happens in his fights. However, the question remains: Has Mike Tyson really lost his power, or was Jake Paul simply “holding back” his own attack?
What Did Jake Paul Do When Tyson Struggled in the Ring?
Throughout the fight, Tyson didn’t show the same powerful offensive ability as before, and Jake Paul said he was just “trying to survive” in the ring rather than aggressively attacking. This may explain why, towards the end of the fight, many fans were disappointed with how the match unfolded, as Jake didn’t show the strong offensive display they had hoped for.
The Truth Behind the Fight: A Performance or Caution?
Although Jake Paul claimed he aimed to give the fans an exciting show, what actually took place in the ring didn’t resemble a thrilling match. In fact, it seems he may have “shown mercy” to Mike Tyson, instead of fully exerting himself to win quickly.
With Jake Paul’s latest revelations, could it be that he “adjusted” the fight out of caution, or is this just an excuse for an unimpressive victory over a Tyson past his prime?
