   "ARLINGTON, Texas -- Mike Tyson's highly anticipated return to the boxing ring after nearly two decades saw "The Baddest Man on the Planet" fall short to YouTuber-turned-prizefighter Jake Paul, who cruised to a unanimous decision Friday night at AT&T Stadium.
   
   Although Tyson was a massive fan favorite, the fight proved that Father Time remains undefeated. Tyson, 58, struggled to mount any significant offense as the 27-year-old Paul peppered him with jabs throughout the affair, which featured eight two-minute rounds.
   
   The judges scored the fight 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 for Paul.
   
   The fight, Netflix's first foray into live sports, might have been more spectacle than substance, but it was a spectacular one that captured the imagination of fans young and old and drew a who's who of celebrities, from Shaquille O'Neal and Evander Holyfield to Joe Jonas and Charlize Theron."

   It was one of the worst fights or overhyped non-fights I have ever seen. All the undercard fights were good fortunately.
   
   The stats for Paul and Tyson(number of punches thrown and landed) in the whole fight would have been less than any other fight for one round.
   
   But it is good to see Netflix hosting fights none the less. If people had to pay per view for the fight on Fox Sport etc they would have been quite upset with what they got for their money.
