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 felt like the outcome of the fight was going to be a lose-lose for Jake Paul; either he gets beat up by a 58 year old, or he beats up a 58 year old. Both make him look bad. I just dislike the guy enough that I was really hoping Mike Tyson would KO him in the first round. Unrealistic, I know, but one can dream.

Oy that was hard to watch. I wouldn’t feel as duped if it was an exhibition fight. But a sanctioned pro fight? Actually I don’t feel duped. In hindsight, anyone should have seen this coming. On the other hand, Barrios vs Ramos was incredible. Now that was a fight!

Tyson looked flat. He was not “springy” or “catty.”

Us old (er) fellers sometimes get to thinking we’re not doing too bad, because often we can still do things like lift a lot and hike a long way. We can still perform well into our senior years at those types of things.

But once quickness, agility, explosiveness, and timing go away, they’re not coming back, regardless of how much cardio and strength training you do.

It’s one thing to climb Everest as a senior. It’s another thing to box competitively against someone half your age.

The 1st fight was not that great. The next 2 were great fights. Those were worth watching. Serrano is a beast. Absolute respect for her finishing that fight.

Tyson looked like he didn't want to be there. He showed no emotion. He hardly threw any punches. He looked like he was there because his agent told him he had to be, or maybe it was his accountant.

The fight went exactly how it had to go for Paul. If he beat up on Tyson it wouldn't really look good for him. If he got beat it also wouldn't look good for him. The best outcome for him was a decision. I would bet that was the plan all along.
