Jake Paul says he eased up on Mike Tyson during their fight … admitting he could tell the boxing legend was struggling in the ring — and there was no need to knock him out.
El Gallo confirmed what most viewers suspected shortly after he secured the unanimous decision win at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX … revealing he did, in fact, modify his approach after noticing the 58-year-old was no longer on the attack.

When asked if he purposely took his foot off the gas in Round 3, Jake told a reporter that was the case … and explained his reason.
“Yeah, definitely,” the 27-year-old said. “Definitely a bit. I wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn’t want to hurt someone that didn’t need to be hurt.”
Jake also claimed he didn’t really feel much punch power coming from the Baddest Man on the Planet … but pointed out that’s been pretty common for him over the course of his fighting career.
