Greg Cote’s Poll Dance: Were you rooting for Jake Paul or Mike Tyson in Friday’s big fight? Vote now

Two polarizing figures in boxing -- Mike Tyson and Jake Paul -- went at it in a sanctioned bout Friday night in Arlington, Texas, a much-anticipated fight shown on Netflix.

Tyson, the former heavyweight champ now aged 58, was in his first sanctioned fight since 2005. Paul, 27, is of course the YouTube star-turned-boxer and was a small betting favorite. (Spoiler alert: Paul won in a unanimous decision.)
