Jake Paul won a unanimous decision over Mike Tyson as the hits didn香蕉视频直播檛 match the hype in a fight between a young YouTuber-turned-boxer and the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Friday night.

All the hate from the pre-fight buildup was gone, with Paul even stopping to pay homage with a bow to Tyson before the final bell sounded at the home of the NFL香蕉视频直播檚 Dallas Cowboys.

The fight wasn香蕉视频直播檛 close on the judge香蕉视频直播檚 cards, with one giving Paul an 80-72 edge and the other two calling it 79-73.

Tyson came after Paul immediately after the opening bell and landed a couple of quick punches but didn香蕉视频直播檛 try much else the rest of the way.

Even fewer rounds and shorter rounds couldn香蕉视频直播檛 do much to generate action for a 58-year-old in his first sanctioned pro fight in almost 20 years, facing a boxing neophyte with hopes of fighting for championships somewhere in the future.
