Terence Crawford doubles down on Jake Paul vs. | MMA News
Terence Crawford has again stood firm on his perception that the Netflix blockbuster struggle between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson was rigged.
When Tyson’s return from retirement was announced, older followers rejoiced. Not only would they get to witness their favourite fighter in the ring once more, but they also hoped the matchup would basically kill two birds with one stone if he have been to beat ‘The Problem Child’ and put an end to the YouTuber’s boxing experiment. Unfortunately for the legend, he was unable to land something vital for the length of their eight-round affair and fell to a unanimous resolution defeat.
The loss will endlessly be a stain on Mike Tyson’s resume, but fellow boxing great Terence Crawford is not offered on the legitimacy of the bout. Crawford is not as trusting of Jake Paul’s profession as others, labeling his win over Tyson fraudulent.
“[Mike Tyson’s] not going to land a fist on [Floyd] Mayweather,” Crawford said forward of the rumored Mayweather vs. Tyson struggle. “Not after his last performance.”
“I don’t know, I think it was scripted. I ain’t never seen Tyson biting his gloves. Like, you could just [see]. It was taking all that he could not to hit him.”
Mike Tyson’s glove biting against Jake Paul kick-started a conspiracy among followers, and Terence Crawford considers those claims viable.
Whether or not the struggle was rigged, Crawford was upset to see Tyson compete, if money was the deciding issue.
“It’s heartbreaking to see an icon go out like that. He shouldn’t have been in there at all. You know, I think [there ‘s] other ways… With all his connections and things like that, I think people could have put him in the right position to make some money.”
