[BobMc]

What the hell is up with the 20 foot ring?

[half-fast]

Terrible fight. Announcers are calling shots that hardly land

[stealurface831]

That was tough to watch.

Glad I caught the prior two matches.

Fighting in balloon gloves took away any power quick strike advantage Tyson would have had. Not being able to land that devastating blow early in has allowed Paul to just tire old man Tyson out.

Like I said earlier, KO not likely with 14oz gloves

[half-fast]

Not much fighting went on there

I can't believe they sanctioned that fight. Tyson was not in any shape to take that bout. Probably why it was in Texas and not Vegas. Paul is a huge fraud, but I guess he's a rich fraud, so good for him.

If you can't knock out that version of Tyson you have no business being a professional heavyweight.

Oops, I now aee this was covered in the first two pages of this thread that I skipped over.
I'll agree that the only way Tyson could have won was a quick knockout in the first two rounds. The big gloves meant his knockback/down power was seriously nerfed and he quickly ran out of gas and the taller Paul just wore him down with reach and youth.
What a boring fight. They should have just given the ring girls pillows and let them swat each other for 30 minutes. That would have been more entertaining than watching these two do essentially the same thing.

The biggest tell tail that this was all a sham was that Jake didn’t knock Mike out. He’s not a good boxer, but after watching it, it shouldn’t have taken a good boxer to knock Mike down and it was blatantly obvious he was sandbagging. Which quite frankly I was kind of happy about after seeing Mike’s condition.

I’ll admit, I totally got played with the lead up videos. As soon as they showed Tyson walking into the building, it was clear to see that wasn’t the same guy they were portraying in the vids from even a week ago.

This felt like some black mirror shit. I felt bad watching almost 60 year old Mike Tyson. It just seemed…wrong.

I feel like everyone lost tonight, except the people who got paid.

I wonder how many people in the Paul camp took the +200 to go the distance

I just watched the Ali/Foreman documentary on Netflix, about the rumble in the jungle. These fights were shit with the exception of the women

Tyson didn’t want any Jake Paul body spray on him so he held back his punches. He wasn’t biting his gloves, he was smelling them.

Yeah, that was a good one. I wasn't old enough to ever (I guess I was technically alive for at least one) see Ali fight but my dad talked about him as a boxer and a person.

I hadn't seen any of the lead up stuff but figured I'd watch it. My stream sucked donkey dick, so unless it was just me Netflix is gonna have to figure some shit out. About as anticlimactic as it could be.

Also, that's the first time I've seen Rosie Perez in a minute and did Evander Holyfield say anything or just sit there?

[frorider]

Didn’t watch but my insta was flooded with memes of Tyson’s bare ass and Netflix buffering.

Tyson accomplished what he wanted to do---collect a 20 million paycheck and didn't get hurt. Jake Paul is still an ass.

Always thought of it as a lose lose for Jake.

He either gets his ass beaten by an old man, or beats up an old man.

They both win monetarily, though.

Given that Tyson couldn't/wouldn't actually fight, I'm just glad it turned out there was a third option, (shuffle around till it was over), and it didn't end up like Holyfield/Belfort. That would have been even uglier and sadder.

[highangle]

Jake Paul is still an ass.

Will Chuck Norris be his next victim?

[Dantheman]

Imfao, bwahahaha, kids' storytime with Mike:

That alone made this whole ridiculous thing worth it. Just outstanding. That should be a commencement speech.

[XXX-er]

I just read the coles notes version on CTV so they all made bank

I did watch that first fight was on with the purple trunk guy at the craft brew and that looked like a real fight

glad i didnt stick around for the main fight

Lennox lewis translating English to English for Holyfield looking like Stevie wonder was the best part of the fight . The host wearing the Star Trek outfit was a close 2nd

I guess I'm in the minority because I found it all to be somewhat entertaining, sham or not. Didn't even expect to watch it.
