Mike Tyson’s return to the boxing ring Friday night vs. Jake Paul went as many predicted he would – looking like a 58-year-old fighter as he lost to the 27-year-old YouTuber via unanimous decision.

Tyson never came close to looking like the legend he was in his prime, and for good reason, as his prime was many, many years ago.

Paul took control of the fight in the second round and seemed to toy with Tyson the rest of the way as he locked up the easy win in a fight that wasn’t all that exciting to watch.

NBA legend Magic Johnson perfectly summed up the night for Tyson and for the sport of boxing by tweeting: “Just sad. 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 in night was not great for boxing.”

Just sad smh. I cut it off because I couldn’t see anymore. It’s sad to see Mike Tyson like this because I was at every Tyson fight.

This fight tonight was not great for boxing.
