One of the great cons of century? Fans angry as many say Jake Paul could have knocked Mike Tyson out in 4 rounds, did he carry the 58-year-old boxer through the fight?

Jake Paul-Mike Tyson's Netflix bout ended in a one-sided defeat for the legendary boxer in front of a sold-out crowd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington in Texas. Paul beat boxing legend Mike Tyson by unanimous decision to win the intergenerational heavyweight battle that failed to live up to its enormous hype. Now frustrated fans have alleged that Paul could have won the bout much earlier but deliberately kept on fighting Tyson for eight rounds.

Some fans have claimed that Paul didn't want to knock Tyson out.

Tyson barely landed a punch during the eight-round bout, with Paul winning by big margins on all three cards -- 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73.

27-year-old Paul used his superior speed and movement to dominate the ageing Tyson with ease, and had the former undisputed heavyweight champion in trouble after landing a flurry of punches in the third round.

Yet the younger fighter was unable to land the knockout blow he had promised to deliver during Thursday's ill-tempered weigh-in, where Tyson slapped him across the face.

Tyson, however, looked every bit of his 58 years, managing to land only a handful of meaningful punches during the fight. Final statistics showed Tyson connected with just 18 of 97 punches thrown while Paul threw some 278 punches and landed 78 of them.

As the final seconds of the eighth round counted down, Paul could even afford to bow in respect to Tyson before the bell sounded.
