Mike Tyson VS Jake Paul

[fngTony]

Just sad, his legs were shot. Couldn’t even go after Jake, had to let him come in and yet Mike didn’t seem to have much. I think his strategy was to not take a punch while waiting for a wide open opportunity that never happened.

Agreed. Was sad watching him stumble around trying to catch his balance

The reach difference definitely didn’t help him

Ya he still had great reflexes from the waist up but that doesn’t matter without a foundation. I want to give him credit for going the distance against someone half his age but Jake didn’t give him everything.

Was really hoping both would have come out in the last round giving it their all but they just ran out the clock. At least I didn’t pay to watch it.

This thread is fitting. Feel like all old dudes still think they got it until they get tested. Age is real, accept it.

I needed to watch that video where Buzz Aldrin punched a guy to compensate for this.

It was a dumb fight. Actually all the fights were dumb.

Dude I watched with a few of my buddies and the whole time we were wondering why people watch boxing. It truly is like watching the kickers warming up on the sidelines of a football game compared to MMA.

Good news is, tonight's card should be solid. Main event is a joke but lots of good fights before it

That was not the Tyson I saw training on YouTube. As soon as the bell rang, I knew it was over. His legs and balance are completely shot. I believe this was a real fight to Tyson. I think he tried his best to knock out Jake. I have a lot of respect for Jake Paul. He could have beat Tyson to a pulp. He was very gracious, and I think he felt a little bad for Tyson. I thought this fight would be a lose, lose situation for Paul but he managed to beat Tyson and come out looking pretty good doing it. Maybe the whole thing was fake to get a paycheck, but I don't think that's why Tyson took the fight. He said it gave him purpose and I believe him.

I'd still not want to catch a punch from grandpa Tyson....but that was hard to watch.

Yeah felt so bad he got into the ring to beat up another washed up old man, this time literally older than his father. So glad I went to bed early

Paul earned some respect from me for not hurting Tyson. He's (Paul) abrasive to watch and listen to but had enough respect for Tyson not to hurt him. Thumbs-up!

He could have knocked Tyson out and gloated about it. He took it easy on him. So many people hate this guy. He's an ass but I think he's brilliant. He is a YouTube influencer that just got the opportunity to fight the legendary mike Tyson and make millions. He completely changed boxing. He probably can't even believe his life is real. Think of how long it takes most boxers to get a shot at a million dollars. He was worth $80 million before this fight and he's only 27 yrs old.

The only other fight of his that I watched was when he fought Tommy Fury. He lost in a decision, but it was a good fight. He knocked Fury down at least once. I don't know anything about boxing, is Fury legit? He should fight his brother Tyson Fury.

 

[OXN939]

He completely changed boxing.

Agreed on this! Between him and that Indian dude humping his opponent in the corner, it was a great reminder how silly and boring a sport boxing is

 

[pacoalcracker]

That fight between the ladies was pretty good and the few before that were good also....but Netflix kept screwing up so I never got to see the main event.....but apparently it wasn't worth watching anyways. Glad Tyson got 20 million out of it since everyone around him robbed him blind during his boxing career. The man earned over 200 million.

I agree. He could have hurt him badly.
