Last night, the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, played host to one of the most highly-anticipated fights in the history of boxing.

With 72,000 fans piling into the stadium and an estimated 120 million watching on Netflix (or, at least, trying to), it was certainly a successful night in the world of boxing — despite the main event failing to live up to the hype.

Yes, at 58 years old, although we can and should all respect Tyson for returning to the ring for his first professional fight in 19 years, the bout was slow, predictable, sluggish, and downright boring at moments.

Paul was declared the winner by a unanimous judge’s decision.

And it’s safe to say that the fight played out as many of us expected. Despite us wanting to see Tyson fight with the ferocity he displayed in the 90s and the speed and power that made him the youngest world champ in history, it looked like Father Time got to him before Paul did.

Yes, it was sadly a predictable bout. However, some may have expected a “predictable” fight for a different reason, after a so-called “leaked script” of the fight emerged on social media prior to the bell ringing.

The bizarre one-page “script” was uploaded to X along with the caption: “Ain’t no way bro. The script got leaked! #PaulVsTyson Jake Paul gonna knock out Mike Tyson!”

Of course, with many people believing that more and more professional boxing bouts are being staged due to the rise of YouTubers and influencers in the sport, it wasn’t long before the round-by-round “script” went viral and was shared by news outlets.
