Social media influencer Jake Paul defeated Hall of Famer and former undisputed world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson via unanimous decision during an eight-round boxing exhibition as part of Netflix's live controversial streaming debut for the sport Friday (November 16) night.

Paul, 27, scored 8-72, 79-73, 79-73, over Tyson, whose last official match came in a loss to Kevin McBride in 2005, during the highly-anticipated event at AT&T Stadium. Fans were livid by the fight itself, which many online deemed to be boring and a cash-grab, as well as Netflix's streaming issues throughout the night, with the service trending as many customers experienced buffering issues during the rest of the card, including Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.

"Im in the classic torture chamber where I cant tell if my internet keeps going out or whether #Netflix is just constantly buffering and unwatchable for everybody," Portnoy wrote on his X account. "So the reports are in. #Netflix wasnt ready for this. This is unwatchable."

"Credit to Jake Paul + Mike Tyson for pulling off one of the great cons of century. I shoulda put 10 million on Jake. Not cause he's good but cause he fought a senior citizen. I would say everybody involved should be ashamed but I'd take the money it too if I could. #TysonPaul," Portnoy added in another post.

Netflix previously postponed the fight in June following Tyson's ulcer flare up during a cross country flight in May.

"Unfortunately Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will not face-off on July 20 as planned," Netflix wrote on its X account.

Tyson, the youngest boxer to ever win a heavyweight title and one of the most dominant ever in the weight class, went 50-6-2 (44 KO) in 58 career professional fights prior to Friday's loss. Paul has a 10-1 record in 11 professional boxing matches, which included a first-round TKO against Ryan Bourland on March 2.
