Tyson vs. Jake Paul

[Ford2112]

These 2 are friends in real life and this is business. Anyone who saw the Roy Jones Jr and Tyson exhibition saw that they were both slow and holding back. I hope Mike knocks the kid out in 30 seconds. Either way he makes 20 mil.

I don't know about friends but yeah its business, and Mike was furious when Jake cancelled the first one, because he's broke and has been waiting for a shot a cash grab. I guess when you spend money on things tigers, you're not really looking to the future. We'll see how far Mayweather makes it before his next geriatric fight with a twitch streamer.

Totally agree. This is actually a pro fight however. It actually goes on each fighters pro record. Just madness.  

I suppose I just mean the Jake Paul vs anyone seems exhibition-y. This is only his second time actually fighting a boxer. His record is silly, fighting a bunch of retired and MMA guys. He would have 100% lost Yo Diaz if it was in the octagon. I remember seeing Diaz get him in a standing guillotine but had to let him go. Those guys have different instincts and can't use them in the ring. His first fight against a boxer didn't work out, I'm hoping the same here. It would be a shame to see an L on mikes record because of this.

Yeah, Mike will have some Cuban cigar money after this one. 😁

I would much rather watch:

A - YouTube highlights of Tyson in his heyday,..or

B - a real version of "Running Man" where 'influencers' were disposed of one by one.    

Couldn't be less interested in this pantomime.

I have never smoked Gurkha before. This may be the first one I will try to find today at local shops in honor of Tyson before the fight. 

Haha they were actually being passed around at a Perth herf here a  few weeks back. 80 notes a stick in Oz. I passed. I forgot about these. Notes of leather blood sweat and tears.

What I'm hoping Tyson will do....

Cowboy cheerleaders dancing to the Oz national anthem 😆

3 fights before the main event! That's BS. I'm in the garage with a cigar and iced coffee. Have a few hours to kill. Was under the impression the Tyson fight was at 8pm. Silly me!

[riderpride]

Fight 1 especially sucked. We're watching to show the kiddies some technique and realized my daughter's 15 yo teammates have more skill.

Interest waning...

That last fight was okay. Hopefully the next fight is over fairly quickly.

[westg]

Wow one is boxing, one is head butting in the woman's bout. Just brutal.

[westg]

What a shocking decision in the women's fight.

[riderpride]

Should have gone the other way, but the interviewer is absolute garbage. 

Netflix wants controversy, not content.

Jmho

If you missed the main fight, don't worry. You didn't miss anything.

[BrightonCorgi]

I went to bed and had the wife woke me up at the end of the previous fight.  

The two minute rounds saved Tyson from tragedy IMO.

[VeguerosMAN]

Tyson legs were shut. Jake could have taken him out but didn't out of respect in my opinion.

Funny, I saw the main fight - and I didn’t see anything either. 

The Taylor Serrano Fight was fun to watch. That gnarly eye gash - and a unanimous decision for Taylor was surprising.

I’d love to see Jake face a true heavyweight boxer in their prime- he won’t - he strategically picks his opponents.

Why would he? The guy lives off the animosity he triggers and makes millions out of it...Strange times.

Let's not bother with his kind, he's no fighter imo.

 

[BoliDan]

Oof. Rough outcome. The amount of punches thrown and landed is telling about how one sided this was. I'm definitely protesting any Paul fights until he takes on people that haven't been in retirement. I think everyone wants to see him get his ass whooped at this point.

[VeguerosMAN]

There aren't any super stars like Mayweather and Pacquio in boxing anymore so they pull this kind of stupid stunts to steal people's money. I am beginning to think Boxing is dead. No wonder why UFC popularity has risen in recent years where champions must fight worthy opponents instead of ducking.

Free entertainment if anything.

Tyson looked great for the first 10-15 secs, then gassed after that. Legs looked shaky. Paul took it easy on him. Nice payday for a spar. Thank god did not have to pay for that. At least he did not get hurt.

100% he took it easy on him. Great way to split 90 million.
