SE Boxing Thread (not waiting for PBF v. Pac II)
I can't hold it in anymore. Pretty Boy's said repeatedly that a good PPV fight takes at least 6 months to promote proper
I dont watch boxing but it sure looked like Paul was trying not to hurt him. Seemed like so many times he could have gone for the kill and stopped at two punches. I'm happy Mike could earn the money, good for him.
That was quite embarrassing.
"Fighting out of the red corner, the goat, Iron Mike Tyson."

Yea looked like he could have landed a kill shot if he wanted to the second half of the fight.
Best result is clearly winning by decision not destroying a 58 year old Tyson.
What a crock of shyte that was...
the point of that wasn't entertainment, it was for a wealth transfer to take place
well they got that right.
no idea if tyson had an energy dump ( which would be surprising with the experience he got) but pretty disappointing performance.
hopefully someone will tell him no, u dont have in you no more ...
time to retire and get your affair in order to prevent another bankruptcy with the money u just made.
In my lifetime there will never be a fight that enrages me more for wasting my time than floyd v pac but this was up there
I didn’t expect this to be a good fight but I at least expected it to not be boring as ****
Just an awful exhibition all around. Mike literally can't move. Jake didn't really even try. Announcers arguing with each other the whole time. Nothing of any interest happened at all.
At least Mike made enough money he might not go bankrupt again.
Somehow someway don king will screw him out of every dime he made last night and I don’t even know if he’s alive
Edit: I guess he’s alive
Anyway, lol these idiots arguing these spectacles are somehow good for boxing
Floyd killed boxing. Now Jake Paul is ****ing the corpse
Well, at least now whatever happens in the UFC later, it's going to seem incredible after that clown show...
Wasn't expecting much from the actual fight, but really it just made me a bit depressed and shallow for watching. The moment Paul landed his first power punch you saw Tyson wobble and knew this was pretty much elder abuse. Could have knocked him out at any moment he chose, and (rightfully) chose not to so as not to completely embarrass Tyson.
Cheers to 'em both for making a ridiculous bag off of that.
‘Made me feel shallow and depressed for watching’ might be the most apt description for this spectacle
On one hand I want Álvarez to sign off and murder this sideshow
On the other hand I expect it’ll be mayweather for a titanic payday for both with zero fighting had
Was Tyson actually trying? I don’t think either of them was trying to seriously hurt his opponent. They were there to make money, and why risk getting killed?
Tyson can still seriously hurt someone and Paul could seriously hurt an old man. It would be dumb to have a war in the ring.
gotta admit iron mike is still pretty damn fit for late 50s
i propose he fight rfk jr for the secretary of health belt while both are wearing nothing butt offical sumo mawashi
Tyson definitely looked like a ****ing beast for a 58 year old

Tyson has no knees and Paul has the skills of a club level fighter. They were each probably going about 75%
Paul is definitely not a talented boxer on a legitimate professional level. Any suggestion to the contrary is nonsense
I don't even know if that was sanctioned by anyone or if it was an official professional bout? Just an exhibition? Anyway, I bet Paul over the poker table at even money, and tried to get 50/1 that Tyson would be taken out of the ring in some kind of medical emergency. Heart attack, stroke, prolonged unconsicounsess, coma, etc. Looking at him in the corner he seemed maybe close to it at times.
didn't watch but sounds like there's more dignity in bum fights dot com
still holding out hope for that tyson vs secretariat fight, or maybe they can invent triple threat boxing or battle royals. who knows, the possibilities are endless
Paul is probably the closest thing to Mayweather in the current era. Of course Mayweather is a superior skilled boxer, but that has nothing to do with big money "boxing."
Paul v Mayweather would be the climax match for Paul, but it might not happen because Mayweather will never take a dive, and he would never lose to Paul. And Paul would likely never sign on unless he is guaranteed a win.
Of course everyone has a price.
What fight did you guys watch? I've seen Mike Tyson get completely outclassed by Lennox Lewis. This ain't it.
Tyson is clearly in the Sitting Bull touring around with Buffalo Bill phase of his career. He was biting his gloves instead of punching, and if he's mellowed out and healing and living a better life while taking retirement money, good for Iron Mike.
I thought the Netflix production was solid.
Fight sucked but everything else entertained me.
