According to Jake Paul, he was being gentle with Mike Tyson because he didn't want to cause him any real harm in the ring.
Paul was questioned about if he depressed his foot after noticing Iron Mike was growing weary at the post-fight press conference. The judges gave Paul higher points than Tyson (80-72, 79-73, and 79-73), therefore he now has an 11-1 record. The 27-year-old claims that he "definitely" withdrew a little when he saw Tyson was "hurt" and didn't want to do any more harm.
Tyson put on a good performance in the first round, but in the third round, Paul got him with a left hook to the temple, causing him to falter and never get back up. The scorecard showed that Paul had 78 out of 278 punches and Tyson had 18 out of 97, which was a wildly unbalanced fight.
