The much-hyped Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight ended in an one-sided affair on Saturday in the favour of 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Returning to the boxing ring after a 19-year hiatus, the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion couldn’t do much as he was undone by Paul’s fast movement and punches to surrender in a unanimous decision over.
The fight wasn’t close on the judge’s cards, with one giving Paul an 80-72 edge and the other two calling it 79-73. Tyson started on an attacking note in the first two rounds before slowing down. While Paul was more aggressive, but he too lacked precision as punching wasn’t quiet efficient with a few wild swings and misses. Tyson mostly sat back and waited for Paul to come to him, with a few exceptions.
Soon after the fight, the word ‘unanimous decision’ made quite a buzz on the internet. Let’s get to know about unanimous decision in details.
