A Netflix cameraman was left a little too thunderstruck by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Friday night.
The iconic NFL cheerleaders opened Netflix’s highly-anticipated stream of Mike Tyson’s clash with Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium – the home of the Dallas Cowboys – in Arlington, Texas Friday night.
And before the boxing legend and former YouTuber even stepped into the ring, the big hits were being handed out.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, dressed in their infamous uniforms, wowed as they performed their iconic Thunderstruck dance, which is highlighted by a 25-second-long chorus line of high kicks.
However, one cameraman strayed a little too close as they walked down the line attempting to capture the dazzling routine.
They took a huge blow to the head when they crossed paths with one the cheerleaders’ flinging limbs.

The NFL cheerleaders opened Netflix’s anticipated stream of Mike Tyson’s clash with Jake Paul
Ever the professionals, the cheerleaders maintained their perky smiles and carried on while the dazed cameraman picked himself up and ploughed on.
The incident left fans – those who could actually watch the incident amid streaming issues – in stitches.
However, it wasn’t the only on-camera glitch Netflix endured as another camera strayed below the belt during an interview with Tyson.
During a backstage interview with his son Amir, Tyson, who ultimately lost to the former YouTuber by unanimous decision, left viewers with an eye-full.
Following a brief exchange where he predicted a ‘violent end’ to his fight with Jake Paul, Tyson turned around to reveal his bare backside.
That left co-commentator Rosie Perez wholly unimpressed as she remarked ‘We could’ve done without that butt-shot there.’
The view left viewers stunned and furious with the technical difficulties relenting for many just in time to see Tyson’s backside.
However, most viewers were left unable to witness both incidents live as Netflix’s stream consistently dropped out, leaving fans furious.

58-year-old Tyson lost to Paul by unanimous decision in an underwhelming bout
Many fans were left underwhelmed at the lackluster spectacle with Paul even seemingly pitying Tyson as the boxing great lost to Paul in a unanimous decision in front of 70,000 people at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday.
Tyson, who was fighting an opponent 31 years his junior, truly showed his age . He was sluggish and stiff, stumbling around the ring while failing to make an impact outside of the first 30 seconds – especially as his right knee was in a brace.
Tyson was unable to match Paul’s energy and his condition worsened throughout the eight-round clash. Though, despite the veteran’s struggles it was curious to see Paul refrain from landing a decisive blow.
And in the last 10 seconds of the fight, he even stepped back and bowed towards Tyson in a show of respect to sporting royalty – while effectively taking his foot off the gas.
