About this episode
As expected, Mike Tyson looked old, slow and vulnerable while being outpointed by Jake Paul in an unedifying, forgettable encounter.
But what do the incredible viewing figures - it was seen in 60m homes - mean for the sport of boxing?
At least Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano turned in a terrific scrap and, out in Saudi, Gilberto Ramirez was too slick for a beyond brave Chris Billam-Smith.
Finally, a treat in This Week as Smokin’ Bert Cooper turns in an inspired showing to almost show Evander Holyfield.
