Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul ‘combat script’ is ‘leaked’ on social media with prediction of KO spherical
A counterfeit script detailing the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is making rounds on social media. The 58 year old Tyson is set to face off against YouTuber Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Texas tonight.
Despite being the underdog, Tyson’s odds have been slashed by bookies this week, especially after he slapped Paul during their face-off last night. Both fighters have vowed to knock each other out.
The circulating script, which mirrors a fake one shared before Paul’s bout with Tommy Fury last year, outlines each round up to the fifth when Paul supposedly stops a fatigued Tyson and ultimately emerges victorious. However, there’s no implication that the fight is rigged.
Here’s how the alleged script predicts the fight will unfold…Round 1: The opening bell rings and Tyson, displaying glimpses of his former prowess, immediately advances with his signature bob-and-weave style. Paul keeps his distance, cautiously circling the ring.
Tyson lands a few jabs but Paul’s youth is evident in his superior agility. Paul lands a swift one-two combo before backing off, reports the Mirror.
Tyson’s timing seems slightly off, his punches a tad slower than in his heyday.
Round 2: Tyson springs into action, effectively cornering Paul. He lands a powerful left hook to Paul’s body that elicits a collective gasp from the spectators.
Despite the onslaught, Paul withstands the pressure, utilising his reach advantage to pepper Tyson with long jabs. The younger fighter’s stamina is on display as he bounces on his toes, while Tyson’s breathing becomes more laboured.
Round 3: Paul grows more confident, planting his feet firmly. He lands a sharp right cross that momentarily stuns Tyson.
The former champion retaliates with a classic combination, but most of it is dodged by Paul. The speed difference becomes more noticeable as Paul starts finding his range with his jab.
Tyson’s iconic head movement begins to slow.
Round 4: Tyson starts to show signs of fatigue, though his punches still pack a punch. Paul finds his rhythm, landing increasingly clean shots.
A particularly sharp right hand opens a cut above Tyson’s left eye. The veteran champion charges forward, trying to close the distance, but Paul’s footwork keeps him just out of reach.
The momentum is shifting.
Round 5: The pivotal round. Paul, noticing Tyson’s exhaustion, starts to push forward more assertively.
He lands a sharp three-punch combo that forces Tyson back to the ropes. As Tyson attempts to dodge, Paul times him flawlessly with a crushing right hand that hits him square on the chin.
Tyson’s legs give way and he falls to the canvas. The referee starts the count, but Tyson, despite his fighting spirit, can’t beat the ten count.
Winner: Jake Paul by KO, Round 5.
