Jake Paul belted his way to a unanimous decision over Mike Tyson in a ballyhooed heavyweight boxing match on Friday in Arlington, Texas.

The judges’ scorecards after the eight two-minute rounds had the former YouTube star winning 80-72, 79-73, 79-73.

Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) finished with an 78-18 edge in punches connected against the 58-year-old former world champion.

With Paul clearly ahead, the final round turned into a victory lap. A smattering of boos could be heard throughout the arena as both men embraced one another before the judges’ decision was announced.

Round 1 saw a quick pace from both men. While there were clinching sessions at times, Paul got the better of the exchanges but didn’t stun Tyson.

The second round was similar, but Tyson’s volume began to pick up. Paul started throwing more power shots, but Tyson remained in survival mode again. Heavy, deep breaths began to set in as a crowd of 65,000 looked on.

Paul’s most dominant round was the third. A right-hand, left-hook combination stunned Tyson and put him on wobbly legs. It was unclear whether Paul’s gas tank was emptied, but Paul had the upper hand despite finishing 1-for-11 on power shots.

The pace slowed in the fourth round, but Paul kept the pressure on Tyson, who couldn’t provide volume in return.

Round 5 saw Tyson fight more conservatively. It didn’t faze Paul, as he kept firing off left hooks and right hands. Tyson’s chin held up well, but it didn’t translate to a faster pace, let alone a potential knockout.

Tyson was visibly slower in the sixth round, taking several Paul shots.

The seventh round was more of the same as the sixth. Tyson gasped for air as Paul picked intelligent shots.
