Jake Paul responds to ‘dumb f*cks’ that say Mike Tyson fight was rigged

Jake Paul hears the critics saying his decision win over Mike Tyson was “rigged,” and the biggest reasona why is, according to Paul, because Tyson didn’t hit him as hard as he hit pads in training videos.

“People are like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s rigged because look at him on the pads but he didn’t do this in the fight,’ because someone is f*cking punching back you dumb f*cks,” Paul said on Impaulsive. “People don’t realize my power, and my jab and my speed and my ability, and my footwork to get out of the way of those punches, so then all of a sudden he’s throwing at, literally, air.

“He can’t land those punches on me.”

Paul won the lackluster eight-round fight with the former heavyweight champion to cap off an event streamed by over 100 million people on Netflix — most of which dealt with system and buffering issues throughout.

While the fight wasn’t thrilling at all to pretty much anybody that watched it, Paul says boxing is like any other sport — good days and bad — but outside of one result, the controversial boxing star says fans would’ve had negative things to say about it anyways.

“I mean, what do they want? They just want me to lose,” Paul explained. “That’s the only way they would’ve thought it was entertaining. This is fighting. This is the sport. Sometimes there’s going to be NFL games where they score 10 points each and it’s f*cking boring.

“What do you want? What happened happened. All possibilities are there when you go into a fight. And then if I would’ve knocked Mike out, they still would’ve hated and been like, ‘Jake’s a f*cking asshole. They’re literally finding any reason to hate on any part of it, so it’s not just as simple as, ‘I didn’t like that.’”

Still, despite Tyson not offering much in terms of offense, Paul was impressed with Tyson’s defense throughout the 16 minutes of fight time. Paul just wishes the 58-year-old found a way to turn back the clock in some way.

“He was hard to hit,” Paul said. “He was elusive. I was missing a lot of punches. I don’t know how he gets off to the side like that. ...

“I wish he had put up a better fight so that I could’ve risen more and done more, and he was surviving. That was the only thing I didn’t like.”
