Jake Paul, the popular YouTuber-turned-fighter, ended the long Friday night Netflix event with a win over the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in front of more than 70,000 fans in attendance at AT&T Stadium.

Tyson showed his age throughout the match, looking exhausted very early on. This gave Paul the upper hand in a fight that wasn't really close on the judges' final scorecards. One judge gave Paul an 80-72 edge, while the other two granted him a 79-73 advantage.

The final stats also showed a major advantage for Paul, who threw 278 punches and landed 78 compared to Tyson's 97 and 18. However, there was one landed punch in particular from Tyson that caught some fans' eyes online.

At one point in the fight, Tyson threw a punch that connected to a defenseless Paul's chin, one of the few that actually landed for the former champ. However, Paul didn't blink an eye at the punch as he taunted Tyson by sticking his tongue out and staring him down.

A slow-motion video of Tyson's connection and Paul's reaction hit social media and grabbed the attention of some fans, who left their comments on the post.

"Tyson at 58 isn’t bad," one fan said.

"bro could have knocked tf outta jake but he held it back," added another.

"Wow, what a night! Mike Tyson might be 58, but his legend still packs a punch!" wrote a third.

"Jake Paul sticks his tongue out at Mike Tyson," commented a fourth.

"This was the creepiest moment. Jake hanging out his tongue at Tyson," chimed in another.

"Wtf is that face lmao," replied a sixth.

With the win, Paul has moved to 11-1 in his career, including seven wins by knockout. His only loss came in Feb. 2023, in a cruiserweight match against Tommy Fury. On the other hand, Tyson falls to 50-7 in his long career dating back to 1985. He still boasts an impressive 44 wins by knockout.
