From an entertainment standpoint, the highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson was rather disappointing.
58-year-old Mike Tyson and 27-year-old YouTube star were expected to have an explosive back-and-forth battle. After the fourth round, Paul was clearly the winner, with Iron Mike showing little stamina or energy in the second half.
However, one moment let too much slip according to fans.
“Rigged” Suspicious Video Captures Moment In Jake Paul-Mike Tyson Match That Has Fans Erupting
After eight two-minute rounds, Paul was declared the winner by unanimous decision. Paul’s win improved his professional boxing record to 11-1, while Tyson will likely retire permanently after this humbling defeat:
The entire internet noticed Mike Tyson biting his glove and thought that was his way of letting Jake Paul know what he was doing during the fight.
The video below shows Mike Tyson biting his gloves.
So that’s why Mike Tyson was biting his glove. So @JakePaul left with both ears and Holyfield could finally have closure #TysonPaul pic.twitter.com/hIPgRRCYw8

Was this their way of “Rigging” the match? Social Media had a lot to say:
Riddle me this: in training camp videos, Tyson was a beast! Ducking, weaving, aggressive as hell, & punching like an angry gorilla! Then he enters the ring and slowly plods around the ring, rarely punching & biting his glove? Something just isn’t right!! pic.twitter.com/KFjIIhp89A
