Idk that Tyson is the type of guy that would do staged. He’s always been the type to try to murder someone in the ring.
Why anyone would have agreed to fight him in the early 90s is amazing. Dude was ruthless
Given it’s on Netflix, I wonder if the viewing figures now impact the boxers’ purses anyway?
I still remember how shocking the Buster Douglas fight was. Probably the most surprising sports result of my life and it was actually a fairly compelling beat down. Wasn’t that close apart from the Hail Mary that Tyson threw that floored him
He was never the same after. Obviously there was prison too and that took it out of him as well but even in the Ruddock fights, other fighters weren’t scared of him any more.
Replace “early 90s” with “late 80s” in my comment above
I was too young to watch them in real time so didn’t realize I was off by half a decade.
That's more like perfect weather (IMO). Yesterday was 82, tomorrow should be 60. Somewhere in the middle today. Lows in the 40's. Brrrr.
I heard he can't break 100.
If I want to break 100, I have to play only 9 holes.

my firm's youngest lawyer played golf in college at a D1 school and carries a +2GHIN.
We played a round earlier this year and the dude shot a 67 with 2 eagles, and was +4 on the par 3's.
Jake Paul is a bookie favourite, despite the fact that I think 90%+ of people who care about the outcome would like to see Tyson send his head into orbit, or at least chew off an ear or two. This makes me think that either the fix is in, or people who know boxing believe that Paul is legitimately a more serious threat in the ring than a guy roughly 30 years past his prime.
Go with option A.
Why people would buy a fixed fight PPV is something I’ll never understand.
Tyson is gonna take a dive to get a bag and that’s the worst possible way to ruin your reputation.
This really evokes one of my favorite Damon Wayans movies
Bernard Langer shot lower than his age last weekend to close out a Senior’s Tour event.
Pretty incredible stuff (66 at 67) at any point but to do it in the final Rd of a championship event is even better
I don’t think it’s fixed but a 32yr old age difference is a thing and Paul is clearly a semi decent boxer, even if not a contender
It would be the same in any really physical sport. No 58yr old would be able to keep up with say, a semi pro in his 20s in football or rugby or track or swimming. Age is too deblilitating
Separately, are you playing any events in this Series? I binked a main event ticket in a satellite but might try to play one other too
Slacker shot a 64 on Friday. Why'd he lay off?
Seriously, he's a crusher on this circuit. Phoenix CC is about 5 miles south of me. Forgot it was happening, or I might have wandered down there.
Tyson is gonna be (has been?) jacked up on a hero dose of TRT, cortisone, nootropics, whatever. I wouldn't count him out.
Haven't been to the casino in over a year, may head back in the new year but yeah haven't been pokering recently. GL in the main event though!
I’m similar but snuck in for two sessions the past month. Won 2.4K in an hour of cash and then won a $2500 ticket in a satellite. It’s trying to suck me back on!
Poker gods throwing you some rungood before they fart on your cereal.
Did you just golf dad joke the thread? SMH
Man if I could get 40mm for chewing on my glove for 16 minutes I’d be all about it
I had 4 shirts/jackets on at a football game. I checked later, the temp was 50 F.

Sorry, late with the response. What the others said is right. I would say either tell them everything or nothing. Nothing is less likely to lead to trouble. Do the probation officers really knock on door out there?
hedge against inflation?
Already cold.
I think more than anything I was just, not panicked, but wound up that she was potentially able to still **** with my life almost 2 years later. After thinking and cooling off I figured they probably wouldn't even come here, although I had to wonder as her PO did come by here once right after she moved out when she missed an appointment and hadn't returned phone calls. I live about a mile from where she reports, so not too much trouble for them to pop in if they really wanted to. But yeah, they haven't come by here. A day of worry on my part for nothing. Thanks for the response.
Just remember you’re not the defendant yet
That "yet" seems rather ominous. Why would he be the defendant ever?
The only bet there was “fight goes the distance” at +150 where I place bets. Free money.
