Bonus Coverage: Multiple Fan Fights Break Out At AT&T Stadium Ahead Of Jake Paul-Mike Tyson Match

Even before Mike Tyson and Jake Paul got busy in the ring at AT&T Stadium, restless fans were ready to get in on the action themselves. That's right. Whether fueled by alcohol, rage, or some other petty reasons that arise to spark squabbles at sporting events, we had no fewer than two different bouts transpire in the stands while the Paul-Tyson undercard played out in the actual ring. Courtesy of the Dallas Texas TV X/Twitter account, here's the first instance of amateur fisticuffs — and spoiler alert: You might not see a more pathetic, poor-form scrap in your life. https://twitter.com/DallasTexasTV/status/1857631026010308857 Merciful choice to not include the audio. Looks like a couple squealing man-baby types. Not that I am some expert pugilist, but just look at the dude with what looks like a reach and weight advantage leverage absolutely none of that from the jump. He uses those longer wings to gain some separation, only to go for a left hook and damn near fall on his face. LMAO. Then, the scrawnier, strapping mullet lad appears to taunt his adversary for the miss. We come to a bit of a standstill before the climax, where mullet dude in jersey explodes toward the creepy-looking bearded guy — only to whiff with a huge right. He opts for the grapple tactic thereafter, and just kind of stiff arms until he executes a pseudo-headlock and starts wailing away with some punches. That's when the stunned spectators who did f**k all to stop them finally intervene to make this eyesore cringe-fest of a fight end. Next up? Looks like we've got some feisty ladies getting into it. https://twitter.com/DallasTexasTV/status/1857643177890451527 This fight is quicker than some of Mike Tyson's most renowned knockouts from back in his heyday, yet it's entertaining nonetheless. Way better than whatever those two bros were doing. The only bummer bit is that this dust-up looks over before it had much of a shot to begin. Talk about a textbook display of ground and pound, though. Sheesh. I feel bad for the girl on the bad-business end of this duel, but shoot, she must've done something to find herself down there in the first place. At least the dudes had the wherewithal to make it to a stadium concourse where they could properly throw down. Getting into a violent altercation right from your actual seats totally throws everything off. If somebody takes a tumble over one of the chairs, it's pretty much game over. As Obi-Wan famously said to Anakin, "I have the high ground!" And that makes sense in this context, if not in Revenge of the Sith. My favorite super-quick fight that took place outside the ring leading up to the Paul-Tyson main event was still, hands down, when Tyson slapped Paul in the face during their weigh-in on Thursday. https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1857227192918274108?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1857227192918274108%7Ctwgr%5E95b70c0b22030e6b59ccb2cf14a351781f6c1bb0%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F2024%2F11%2F14%2Fjake-paul-calls-mike-tyson-angry-little-elf-who-must-die-after-getting-slapped-at-weigh-in%2F I honestly don't care if Tyson gets his nude butt smoked by Paul. The fact that we'll have that clip and imagery forever is good enough to consider this Netflix odyssey a massive win for Iron Mike. To take on a guy who's more than 30 years your junior is audacious and commendable. All the pressure's on Paul.
