Friday night in Texas brought two extremes of boxing.
YouTuber Jake Paul easily outboxed a 58-year-old Mike Tyson for eight drab rounds, just 30 minutes after Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano put on an all-time classic.
The event was Netflix's first boxing show and Paul suggested more than 100 million people watched it live.
Despite the disappointment of the main event, there were some cracking pictures taken across the night.
Here are some of the best.
