Happy Netflix was free as it would have been sad to have paid for that.

Excepting being that Tyson is a pop culture icon. Chewing his glove and that saying he has a biting fixation lol.

Tyson was so gassed. Could hardly speak and looked like he had trouble standing.

Mike came out swinging for all of 45 seconds. He was breathing heavy after round 1.

I don’t think there was much chance of a KO out of Tyson…. Father Time remains undefeated.

I agree though. Glad it was free, I would have been ****ed if I had to pay to see that “fight” on PPV.

Yep, 2 of the bouts were great. Sadly and as I should have expected, the main event was so sad. I expected more for some reason yet Tyson looked like he aged 15 years in a week and what 'a biting fixation"? Better the glove than JP ear I guess. See ya Mike. There was a time you were all that.
Had our netflix attempt to croak but we made it through without issue

Kind of a Rollercoaster ride.
Rd 1&2 I had real hope
Rd 3-5 I was worried
Rd 6&7 I felt kind of sorry for Mike
Last round was more symbolic, than an actual fight.
Like something you'd see in Rocky 10.

Anyone that was expecting a good tilt was delusional and rightfully upset.
I can see people being hopeful that Mike would drop that punk. I know I was.
But in the end this was about money, and Mike proving to himself that he wasn't old and useless, yet.
Anyone getting up there in years will know exactly what I'm talking about.
He definitely trained like he was in it to win.

Either way, it was nice to see Iron Mike dance one last time.

I really wish he would have hurt that punk though...

That’s the first time I’ve seen Jake Paul fight and he earned my respect. He’s a legit fighter. He’d get killed by a ranked fighter but he’s better than average.

I also give Paul credit for fighting smart and not hurting Tyson. Tyson was in real danger from round 3 on and Paul could have really damaged him.

I agree.
You could definitely see him back off, which I commend him for.
Mike was in trouble after the 2nd, and I think Jake realized life would be worse for him if he knocked down a past-prime 'old man'.

Having said that, I feel confident saying that the second toughest, if not the toughest opponent Jake has ever faced, is a 58 year old man.
He is a long ways from being a serious contender.

With Netflix freezing up every 10 seconds I finally got fed up and went to bed, reading this morning and I'm glad I did.

As I stated earlier it was nothing more than a 60 million $$ exhibition and all about the money, some writers are calling it the worst display of fighting ever and by the sound of it Tyson was done after 2 rounds, Paul let up or he could have really hurt Tyson, I hope that fat old man shuts up and fades off into history now forever.

Tyson was in trouble when he walked to the ring. When he fought jones jr he looked all right now he looks terrible. This is nit the sport to bring back old athletes. Holy field lookd good physically but pretty much fell out of the ring when he through a punch.
I guess there is a reason reason that holly field and Tyson still tried fighting. 600 million or so in combined prize money in their combined career and a net worth of close to 0 by the end of their careers.
Tyson probably doubled his net worth last night good for him but he talked about more fights. Nobody wants to watch that again.
