The latest chapter of Jake Paul's divisive boxing career is complete with "The Problem Child" earning a unanimous decision victory over 58-year-old Mike Tyson in Netflix's first venture into the fight game.

The bout captured the attention of a wide audience with a massive crowd inside of AT&T Stadium and an even bigger group of viewers watching via the streaming giant.

It's not clear that people got what they came to see.

Anyone hoping to see a facsimile of the once-fierce knockout artist was certainly disappointed. As the CompuBox numbers show, he barely landed more than one punch per round.

Tyson's inactivity was a theme throughout the night. The back half of the fight was especially egregious. He landed no punches in Rounds 4 and 6 and only six punches in the final five rounds.

The fight, which was made for social media, predictably drew a lot of responses to how Paul earned his 11th career victory.

Many were frustrated by Iron Mike's form.

Others were just annoyed that they had bought into the matchup becoming a legitimate bout.

Paul has clearly done a good job of selecting his opponents to this point. He has talked a lot about wanting to become a legitimate boxer and even a world champion. However, his opponents to this point have been a combination of fellow influencers, former MMA fighters, an NBA dunk champion, a few club-level boxers and now the shell of a former heavyweight champion.

The strategy behind his foray into boxing has obviously been lucrative. There's a massive market for his fights and he's increased his wealth since getting into the fight game.

But if he truly wants to find legitimacy then he's going to have to fight a boxer with a solid resume who isn't also close to collecting social security.
