Yesterday, a boxing event attracted the attention of the world.

The opponents in this match are Tyson and Paul.

Everyone knows that Tyson is one of the most popular boxing champions in the history of heavyweight boxing. Master Ye, who brought his own BGM, was almost knocked down by him.

As for Paul, although there is a big difference in physique between Tyson and Tyson, on the one hand, Tyson is already 58 years old (it’s a point of reference, right???), and on the other hand, Paul’s boxing skills are really good. Look at the stance of this combo. This horse, this pace, when it gets wild, even I, Zhan, can’t stop it...

? What? Not this Chris Paul? What a shame...oh no, that's great.

01 Who is Paul?

The Paul who faced Tyson, whose full name is Jake Paul, is one of the most famous Internet celebrities in the United States.

In 2013, Jack and his brother Logan posted prank and funny-themed videos on social media, attracting more than 5 million fans and successfully earning the first pot of gold in the streaming media era.

Please remember, this is what Jake Paul looked like when he first became famous on the Internet.

Since then, the two brothers relied on the money earned from being Internet celebrities to establish their own entertainment group and investment company. Jack even got involved in the music field, publishing He released his own single and the sales were quite good.

If I have to make an analogy, Jake Paul is a bit like China’s Little Yang. He also started out through funny videos. He used his status as an Internet celebrity to stand on the forefront of streaming media, and then established his own business brand and became The emerging wealthy class in the country.

After that, what is lamentable is that Jack and his brother Logan parted ways due to the uneven distribution of interests. There have also been many scandals, big and small...

In short, if there are no accidents, this is probably a classic story of an Internet celebrity who suddenly became famous and became rich, then became empty and confused, and then became obsolete.

But a person's fate is sometimes unpredictable. During the trough period when the Paul brothers' reputation was declining, a pair of boxing celebrities from the UK came to them and said, how about we have a fight to earn some traffic? Everyone should Love to watch.

The two Paul brothers thought for a while, and it happened that they had a lot of accumulated emotions that needed to be released, so let's fight - of course, they were at a huge disadvantage, after all, they had practiced against each other.

But in this boxing match, Jake Paul found that he enjoyed the boxing match very much and seemed to have a little talent? Although

was beaten badly and his face was covered with blood, Jack persisted until the end and actually won with points.

At this moment, a huge sense of satisfaction surrounded him, so he decided that from now on I would just box.

This kind of thing sounds really unreliable. After all, Jack has never received any fighting training before, and he suddenly decided to become a boxer, but he was really rich and willful...

Jake Paul sold himself He bought a luxury car and a mansion, found the best boxing training team, moved to an almost deserted place, and started boxing training. He gave up playing and singing every night, practiced hard every day, and was beaten every day.

After more than a year of professional training, Paul, who felt that he had achieved great success, started his own boxing show.

02 Internet celebrity boxer saves boxing?

To be honest, boxing has indeed reached a bottleneck period in recent years. The main reason is that the sport has become less and less enjoyable to watch.

Whether it is a heavyweight heavyweight or a boxing legend Mayweather who spans multiple levels, there is a sense of utilitarianism and greasiness in his fighting style.

I believe everyone still remembers the classic match of the century between Mayweather and Pacquiao . It was a pinnacle battle that had been hyped for so long, but in the end it turned into Mayweather running, pressing down and holding his head. Fancy teaching on defensive counterattacks.

Since then, Mayweather’s iconic one-arm shoulder-sinking has become a required course in the boxing world. Boxers no longer enthusiastically try to tear each other apart, but begin to calmly calculate whether they can win...

At this point, the decline of boxing is of course inevitable - especially with mma, a new fighting sport that encourages offense, as a comparison.

Therefore, although Tyson did not defeat many worthy opponents in his career, and was taught by the semi-retired Lao Huo with his exquisite skills until he could only speak, his agile pace, fast and fierce Combining heavy punches and a strong bloodthirsty instinct, he has indeed become the last white moonlight in the golden age of boxing in the eyes of boxing fans.

It is precisely because of this that in 2020, the capital side planned a 100-year-old battle between Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. to test whether boxing fans are willing to pay for their feelings - the answer is of course very willing. The quality of the game Not to mention, it was definitely a commercial success.

On the night that Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr., Jake Paul made an appointment with the same semi-professional boxer who became a monk, former NBA player, Nate Robinson, nicknamed "Little Potato".

Then, he was in the ring and knocked out the opponent in two rounds...

Next, Jake Paul changed his opponent to Ben Askren, the welterweight champion of the One Championship, and the result was another first The opponent was KO'd in the round...

After that, Jake Paul fought one after another, and his record is -

defeated former UFC player Tyron Woodley twice (including KO once),

Defeat UFC with points Seven consecutive championship legend "Spider-Man" Anderson Silva (46 years old),

lost to Tommy Fury, the younger brother of British boxing champion Tyson Fury (this is another Tyson),

defeated the current UFC master by 1 point "Little Ma" Diaz ,

ko boxing rookie Andre August,

defeated former UFC star Ryan Brand...

In June of this year, Jake Paul defeated former UFC boxer and bare-handed fighting champion "King of Violence" Mike ·Perry!

Everyone becomes more and more addicted to watching Jake Paul’s games.

Think about it, if Brother Yang, Li Jiaqi, etc. go to boxing and not only fight Zou Shiming , Zhang Zhilei , but also win in the end, would you like to watch this match? Of course

looks! You have to scold and watch at the same time!

Although some people have always believed that these professional fighters are cooperating with Paul's hype and are suspected of fake boxing, but firstly, this is indeed a boxing exhibition match and not a professional title match. Secondly, it is hard to say whether Paul's match is fake or not, but WWE is even more fake and the American people are very fond of it. The people like it...

To a certain extent, Jake Paul has indeed reawakened the European and American people's love for boxing. The capital side of

is also happy to see this Internet celebrity boxer continue to call out the "fucks" one by one, and the fighters who have been bumped are even happier. The income from a match of this intensity is tens of millions of dollars, and they can also be fired. A bit of heat, who wouldn’t want it?

03 Old wine in new bottles, feelings are paying the price.

It was only a matter of time before Jake Paul found Tyson.

On the one hand, Tyson is indeed the White Moonlight in everyone's mind, and there will always be people who pay for his feelings.

On the other hand, Tyson is now 57 years old. Why don’t we beat him while his old bones are still moving? Do we have to wait until he is 60 to trick and attack his old comrade?

Jake Paul once broke the news on social networks that he will earn up to 40 million US dollars (approximately 288 million RMB) through his showdown with Mike Tyson on Netflix.

Media sources from "The Sun" said that the total prize money for this game is 80 million US dollars, which is divided equally between the appearance fees of both sides.

What is capitalism? This is capitalism.

Before the game, both sides were extremely hyped.

Paul posted a provocative video stating that if Tyson can last more than four rounds in this fight, he will receive an additional $5 million.

even played a joke about Tyson biting people: "In order to prevent Tyson from biting my ears, I specially wore a diamond protective gear."

Tyson said in an interview that he was not participating in this epic showdown. The goal is money, and he would rather "die in the ring" than admit defeat.

During the pre-match weigh-in, Paul "accidentally" stepped on Tyson's toe, and Tyson immediately responded with a slap in the face.

They are really good at it.

Compared with the fiery atmosphere before the game, the content of the game was much lackluster.

Although the competition team deliberately adjusted the time of each round from 3 minutes to 2 minutes in order to take care of the 58-year-old Tyson, it can still be seen that Tyson is physically unsustainable - you cannot ask an old man to give birth in one step. wind.

But Tyson really tried his best, he knew what everyone wanted to see.

Small steps to get close to the body quickly, fierce combination punches, iconic uppercuts...

The taste is certainly not what it was back then, but how can I put it, the boxing fans looked over affectionately, their eyes were filled with the 20-year-old Tyson It looks like...

So the competition is really not that important.

Paul used hugs and jabs to control the distance in the first two rounds. After drying up the old man's fuel tank, the game basically lost its suspense. The fact that it lasted until the last round was probably the result of Paul letting go. At the end of the

match, Paul finally showed his true feelings and bowed to Tyson honestly.

“Thank you for appearing in my youth."

and...

"Thank you for helping me make a lot of money..."
