Video Emerges Confirming Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson Was Rigged

Jake Paul’s Boxing match with Mike Tyson was arguably the most hyped combat Sports event of the weekend.

Obviously UFC 309 is on deck for Saturday, but nobody is excited to watch Jon Jones pummel Stipe Miocic as they were to see whether Tyson could knock out Paul.

In the end, Paul’s fight with Tyson was a bit lackluster. The biggest story coming out of it proved to be the ring girl whose private photos leaked out.

That aside, the other thing everyone couldn’t stop talking after the fight was whether it was rigged. Some fans believe that one particular video confirms that it was:

Do you guys see how fcking precise this hit is. It’s pin point accuracy and his arm just snaps forward like a perfect slingshot. He’s so powerful and skilled he didn’t even bother to do more than one of these legendary hits because that would result in a potential knockout

A lot of comments say it was scripted. I agree and add that it seemed like Jake wrote the script.

Paul often faces claims that his fights are rigged. As such, the reaction to this Tyson fight isn’t surprising.

That said, it will be interesting to see if Paul ever reaches a point where he stops being questioned in this particular fashion.

After the Tyson fight, Paul called out Canelo Alvarez.

Since Alvarez would likely destroy Paul in the ring should they ever fight, that bout would likely end any and all speculation that Paul’s fights are rigged.
