I'm getting ready to watch this Tyson vs Jake Paul fight like I'm watching someone cast a spell that I hope actually works

A hopeful Rogan tweeted before the fight

He's tough, proud of him, weathered the storm against a young brute named Jake Paul.

He added

I think Jake let him live.

And speaking to Mail Sport after the fight, Jake's brother Logan said of Tyson

I was trying to hurt him a little bit,

I have a habit of biting my gloves,

Tyson said

I have so much respect for him,

Paul said

Let’s give it up for Mike,

Paul said in the ring, not getting much response from a crowd that started filing out before the decision was announced

I don't know. It depends on the situation,

he said

First and foremost, Mike Tyson — it's an honor to be able to fight him,

said Paul

Yeah, but I can't use that as an excuse. If I did, I wouldn't be in here,

Tyson said

I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn't want to hurt someone that didn't need to be hurt."

Paul said

Just sad smh. I cut it off because I couldn’t watch anymore. It’s sad to see Mike Tyson like this because I went to every Tyson fight. This fight tonight was not great for boxing."

American businessman and former basketball player Earvin Magic Johnson wrote

I tried to give the best fight I possibly could, but when someone’s just surviving in the ring, it’s hard to make it exciting. I couldn’t really get him to engage me or slip shots and do something super cool or whatever,

he added

At any point did you start to take your foot off the gas just a little bit because you knew he was tiring out?"

In his post-fight press conference, a reporter asked

Rosie Perezactor

Hate him or love him, you’ve got to respect what Jake Paul has contributed to the sport of boxing,

said actor Rosie Perez who, for some reason, was calling the fight

Who knew two women could co-headline a fight like this,

an emotional Serrano told viewers

I'm not one of those guys that looks to please the world

Mike Tyson

That was one of the worst fights I’ve ever seen. Netflix f****** sucks and I’m cancelling my subscription."

Another added

I don’t think so.”

Pressed on whether he thought Friday night would be his final appearance in a boxing ring, the Brooklyn native added
