Jake Paul Beats Legendary Boxer Mike Tyson In Underwhelming Netflix Event
November 17, 2024

Social media star Jake Paul defeated boxing legend Mike Tyson via unanimous decision in a highly anticipated match held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and broadcast live on Netflix.

The judges’ scorecards read 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73, all for Paul, who secured his 11th win as a professional boxer. Tyson, 58, struggled to mount an effective offense against the 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer.

While Tyson actually came out aggressive to start the fight, he slowed down rather dramatically after the first couple of rounds. He also seemed to be favoring his knee, which was wrapped up with a brace throughout the fight.

By the seventh and eighth rounds, Paul was still largely fresh enough to dish out some damage but he didn’t necessarily want to create a lasting image of putting down somebody he held in such high regard.

“[I carried him] a little bit,” Paul said. “There was a point where I was just like he’s not really engaging back and I don’t know if he’s tired or whatever. I could just tell his age was showing a little bit. I just have so much respect for him and that violence/war thing between us, after he slapped me I wanted to be aggressive and take him down and knock him out and all that stuff but that kind of went away as the rounds went on.”

Paul suffered a sprained ankle with a torn ligament during his training camp that left him on crutches for several days.

“It just made everything mentally more difficult to go into the ring with a sprained ankle, having to tape it up,” Paul explained. “I missed about two weeks of sparring. So I really only sparred one or two times before this fight so that’s why my cardio didn’t feel as good in there tonight.”

Despite the loss, Tyson showed respect for his opponent, and the two fighters exchanged words after the bout, with Tyson hinting at a potential showdown with Paul's brother and YouTuber Logan who is also a part-time boxer.

"This is one of those situations when you lost but still won," Tyson wrote on X. "I’m grateful for last night.  No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won. To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for.  Thank you"

Paul, meanwhile, expressed his desire to face Canelo Alvarez in his next boxing match. The Mexican champion increased his stunning win tally last September, by beating Edgar Berlanga.

The event which was also plagued on Netflix by buffering and other technical problems, drew mixed reactions from fans and critics, with some praising Paul’s performance and others criticizing the lack of competitive action in the fight. NBA legend Magic Johnson summed up the sentiment. “Just sad smh. I cut it off because I couldn’t watch anymore," he wrote on X. "It’s sad to see Mike Tyson like this because I went to every Tyson fight. This fight tonight was not great for boxing.”

The highlight of the underwheming event which featured other undercard matchups, was when the broadcast cut to Tyson’s locker room during the amazing Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor fight, for a quick interview with “Iron Mike.” A stone faced Tyson promised a vicious win in the ring before telling the interviewer he loved him and kissing him on the cheek. He then walked away, revealing he was wearing nothing but a jockstrap that left his bare buttcheeks exposed.

Even with a bleeding cut above her right eye after an accidental headbutt by Taylor, Serrano looked to have done enough to defeat undisputed super lightweight champion during their fight, but the judges thought Taylor was better over the course of 10 rounds to retain her titles and capture another controversial win over Serrano.

Elon Musk, Trump 'Big Beautiful Bill' Feud Fallout

The feud between U.S. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk escalated Thursday, with Musk accusing Trump of having ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and criticizing Trump's "big, beautiful" spending bill. Musk alleged that Trump is in the Epstein files, which is why they have not been made public, and suggested that Trump would not have won the election without him.

The White House's Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, calls Musk’s claim “an unfortunate episode” driven by his dissatisfaction with the bill’s lack of EV subsidies. A source notes Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago and references the February 2025 release of flight logs mentioning Trump.

The conflict began when Musk criticized the "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill, calling it an "abomination" and urging to keep electric vehicle (EV) and solar incentives while removing wasteful spending Trump responded by expressing disappointment in Musk, stating that he was "surprised" by Musk's criticism.

During a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Thursday, Trump addressed Musk’s criticism publicly, saying he’s “very disappointed” in Musk, who “knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody.” Trump claims Musk’s objections stem from the removal of the $7,500 EV tax credit, which he says Musk knew about for months. He suggests Musk may have “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Trump also mocked Musk’s appearance, referencing a recent black eye (attributed to Musk’s son) and questioning why he didn’t cover it with makeup.

In a social media post, Trump threatened to cancel Musk’s government contracts, including those for SpaceX and Tesla, stating, “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.” He also claimed he asked Musk to leave DOGE because he was “wearing thin.”

Escalating the feud Musk responded by saying SpaceX would begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft, indicating a potential withdrawal from government contracts.

Musk then took to X to make his accusations about the Epstein files. He wrote, "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out."

oMI-YMPaKR1qGVLoLQtxaxqzj8LmpgYKPh7sJ8DfmjdkhNZ428Qf3P8NNZiykZzprloLt_pxavtxt9ZGMrilT738j_5rvJgFpXjgFA6OCFsMxKUWJ3SAHFoyH6aYxyJ1Nw=w1280

The White House and Trump's supporters defended Trump, with the White House press secretary describing Musk's comments as "unfortunate" and suggesting that Musk was unhappy with the bill's content. Trump also suggested that Musk was upset about the removal of EV subsidies and mandates, which could affect Musk's Tesla business.

Despite the heated exchanges, Trump downplayed the situation to reporters and instead referenced his policy implementations, saying, "Oh it's okay, it's going very well, never done better."

Throughout the day, Musk's net worth dropped significantly, losing approximately $27 billion, although he remained the world's richest man with a net worth of around $388 billion.

Speaking to reporters by phone Friday, Trump said in response to reports of possible phone call with Musk, "I'm not even thinking about Elon. He's got a problem. The poor guy’s got a problem....No. I won't be speaking to him for a while I guess, but I wish him well."

“Honestly I’ve been so busy working on China… working on Russia… working on Iran.. I’m not thinking about Elon musk .. I just wish him well....,“ Trump later told reporters. "I hope he does well with Tesla."

Trump Announces Travel Ban, Restrictions On 19 Countries

President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday, restricting travel to the United States from 12 countries and imposing partial restrictions on 7 others. The countries fully banned from entering the U.S. are Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.

Countries subject to partial restrictions include Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.

The ban takes effect on June 9, 2025.

The proclamation includes exemptions for lawful permanent residents (green card holders); existing visa holders (visas issued before June 9, 2025, will not be revoked); Afghans eligible for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) who assisted the U.S. government; diplomats, athletes (e.g., for the World Cup or Olympics), and dual nationals with passports from non-restricted countries and individuals whose entry serves U.S. national interests, evaluated case-by-case.

The ban is subject to revision if countries improve vetting or security cooperation, and additional countries could be added if new threats emerge.

These restrictions aim to enhance national security and counterterrorism efforts by addressing deficiencies in the information needed to assess potential security threats posed by nationals of these countries.

Dave Portnoy Had A Meltdown In Heated Debate With Cohost About 'Jew Jokes,' Free speech

Barstool founder Dave Portnoy had a heated back and forth with his podcast's cohost Kirk Minihane over 'Jew jokes.'

Portnoy faced backlash recently on social media, after firing two waitresses and taking further action against some college students involved in an incident at his Barstool Sansom Street bar in Philadelphia, where a sign that read "Fuck the Jews," was displayed.

"Shut the fuck up you bald fuck" Portnoy screamed at Minihane during a recent The Unnamed Show episode after Minihane criticized Portnoy's approach to 'Jew jokes.'

Minihane argued that Americans and especially comedians have a right to free speech and to make jokes. While Portnoy suggested that given the war in Gaza and public anti-Israel sentiment online, 'Jew jokes' should not be allowed and offenders must be prosecuted.

"Shut up!... You work for me!" Portnoy screamed at Minihane who responded "Sure. You bet. For now..."

"Quit! I'll save $500,000." Portnoy said.

Minihane then asked "Is this a show or not a show? We can't have a conversation?"

"You're an idiot. You're literally saying people should be allowed to make Jew jokes whenever they want." Portnoy shot back.
