Who won Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight? Full results including Katie Taylor against Amanda Serrano
by Steve Wollaston, Martin Domin, https://www.facebook.com/stevewollastonjournalist/, https://www.facebook.com/mirrorfighting · Birmingham LiveMike Tyson and Jake Paul's war of words culminated not in the ring, but with a spectacle that saw Tyson return to professional boxing after 19 years at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. The event was marred by technical issues as Netflix streams crashed and fans left during the main event, which saw YouTube sensation Paul outclass the 58 year old Tyson.
After the fight, Tyson expressed contentment, saying: "I am happy. I knew he was a good fighter. I knew he was prepared. I didn't prove nothing to anybody, only to myself. I am just happy with what I can do."
He also praised Paul as a "very good fighter" and teased the possibility of fighting again.
The undercard featured an impressive rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, two years on from Taylor's narrow victory in New York. Here's a rundown of all the results from the night's fights:.
Bruce Carrington defeated Dana Coolwell via UD. Brooklyn's rising featherweight star Bruce Carrington aimed to impress as he faced Australia's Dana Coolwell, seeking to celebrate a double victory for Brooklyn alongside Mike Tyson, reports the Mirror.
After a cautious start, Carrington took control and floored Coolwell in the fourth round.
In the final round, Coolwell was knocked down again but managed to beat the count both times. The New Yorker had to settle for a points win as all judges scored the bout 80-70 in his favour.
Lucas Bahdi won against Armando Casamonica via majority decision. Bahdi had previously delivered a stunning KO of Ashton Sylve earlier this year, while Casamonica was a late replacement after Corey Marksman pulled out due to injury.
Despite coming in overweight, Casamonica didn't appear fatigued and put up an impressive fight in the later stages. However, it was ultimately Bahdi who was awarded the victory.
Shadasia Green became a world champion for the second time by narrowly defeating Melinda Watpool via split decision. Despite Watpool's readiness to engage, it was Green who landed more power punches, leading to her victory with scores of 97-93, 96-94, 94-96.
Neeraj Goyat won against Whindersson Nunes via unanimous decision.
In a rather unusual match-up, a seasoned professional with a somewhat inflated record took on a Brazilian social media star known for his participation in influencer boxing. The six-round fight was largely one-sided, with Goyat dominating throughout.
By the fifth round, both fighters had dropped their defences, but neither could land a powerful enough blow to end the fight early, leading to a decision by the judges. The scores were 59-55, 60-54 and 60-54.
Mario Barrios managed to retain his title after a draw against Abel Ramos. Barrios was expected to have an easy world title defence against Ramos, who had lost three of his last five fights.
However, after a shaky start, Ramos managed to knock down the champion in the sixth round with consecutive right hands. Despite this, Barrios made it to the end of the round and the fight continued back-and-forth until the end.
One judge favoured Ramos by one round, another gave Barrios a questionable six-round lead, while the final judge declared the fight a draw.
Katie Taylor emerged victorious over Amanda Serrano via unanimous decision.
Katie Taylor faced jeers as she triumphed over Amanda Serrano in a rematch that lived up to their first thrilling encounter from two years prior. The pair delivered another electrifying bout, with Serrano initially dominating until a cut slowed her down.
Despite Taylor being penalised for head clashes, she managed to sway the judges, who unanimously scored the fight 95-94 in her favour, sparking outrage among the Dallas spectators.
In another match, Jake Paul outboxed Mike Tyson but couldn't secure a knockout against the boxing icon making a comeback. Paul, who had vowed to "kill" Tyson, found it challenging to connect effectively, yet he still won on the scorecards, with two judges seeing him ahead in every round.
Discontent grew among the audience, who booed both fighters by the mid-point, and many left the venue before the final decision was announced.
