jake paul vs mike tyson
It’s history made – Jake Paul won Netflix’s first live boxing event against Mike Tyson, which streamed worldwide last night. While Netflix has certainly stepped up its game in regards to live streaming, buffering and technical issues plagued the program, and some devices, such as web browsers, weren’t able to watch at all. Here’s your description of the night.
It doesn’t seem like Discovery was a problem for the most part, with most Netflix users (on fresh loading anyway) getting instant access to the battles in the main carousel.
DownDetector recorded problemsReports of more than 6,000 outages are also coming in. You’ll find countless complaints online of audio delays, poor quality streams (many were taping at 720p), and constant buffering. In one instance, buffering caused a moment where Tyson’s buttocks were frozen on screen.

Our comments section included many frustrated Netflix users who were experiencing buffering issues and other technical glitches. One said, “It’s a joke. It also won’t stream correctly, all main events repeatedly buffer at 25% and keep giving an error code. I run the fastest 5G network, even from Verizon, and Netflix can’t even broadcast live performances properly.’
Another said in our comments, “Shame on you, Netflix, for not working out all the bugs before this live event; You may lose many customers, and how proud are you about a live football game on Christmas Day?
However, not all technology was bad. We noticed that when things were working properly, there wasn’t much delay in subtitles despite being typed live and the seamless transitions to different audio options was a nice experience.
How to watch highlights of boxing matches on Netflix
Sadly, Netflix doesn’t currently offer highlights within the app, meaning you’ll have to manually sift through over four hours of content to find what specifically you’re looking for. Why isn’t there a Highlights pullout where you can jump to notable sections?
Replays are especially difficult to find for a few reasons. If you type Jake Paul or Mike Tyson in the search bar, the live event replay doesn’t even appear. Instead, you need a direct link.

What has been said since the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson matchup?
In the post-fight press conference, Jake Paul expressed confidence in his preparation facing Mike Tyson, a moment he had mentally rehearsed countless times. “Yes, I was all set,” he said. “I’ve gone through that moment many times in my mind and meditation and things like that, so it didn’t bother me. I just felt at home on the road to riding my destiny.” He added that while he appeared to tone down the intensity in the third round, it was intentional. “Definitely,” he confirmed. “I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn’t want to hurt someone who didn’t need to be hurt.” Despite going up against a veteran, he commented, “I didn’t feel Mike’s power at all.”
Addressing the polarizing reactions he often receives, he acknowledged his role in leaning toward a “heel” persona. “People love to hate me. It’s easy to hate me, and I deliberately say things to make people hate me,” he admitted. “I play the heel role, I contribute to it and that’s just what I love to do.” He stressed his dedication to the sport, saying, “I have been in this sport for four and a half years and fight every possible battle.” On online criticism after the fight, he was unconcerned, saying, “I tried to give the best fight I possibly could, but it’s hard to make it exciting when one survives in the ring. But I don’t care what people say. He always has something to say and that’s the point.” Looking ahead, he said, “Give me a few more months, and I will achieve more things. I plan to do everything there is to do in this game.”
