My vote is for stalemate. I had the misfortune of paying for the Tyson–Roy Jones, Jr. fight a couple years back, and it was the stupidest fight I've ever seen (and in today's world of boxing that says a lot). Tyson didn't look like he was even interested in winning, and in the end he said the important thing was the money it raised for his charity. Jake Paul was on an undercard and he looked like he was just flailing wildly, but I believe he won his fight against a retired NBA player. I'm of the opinion that Tyson is one of the most overrated boxers in history. He came up at a time when their wasn't any real competition (Trevor Berbick? Michael Spinks?!) and he was totally reliant on being able to knock a guy out early. When that didn't happen he was completely out of his element. The whole Evander Holyfield ear biting thing is a direct result of how he couldn't hang when he was losing.
That wasn't a fight, it was an exhibition. It didn't count toward anyone's record and they literally could have had Hulk Hogan run in and hit Mike with a folding chair if they wanted. Evander Holyfield once had an exhibition against Mitt Romney. Exhibitions are fake and any resemblance they bear to actual fights is incidental. In short, you got fleeced.
On the other hand, this Jake Paul thing is actually a sanctioned boxing match. It's going on their records. Either Jake carries or we watch an old man get his ass beat.
