My Netflix was good. Fight was kinda what I expected. No complaints here.

Look at the post fight interview. Does that look like a face Tyson punched?
Tyson 100% love tapped him.

He punched him as hard as he could. Which given his age and the shape of his legs ain’t too hard

I should been in there instead of Mike, I've got better legs than Mike tyson, and I'm 5 years older. He walked to the ring like an old man, had to stay over his legs the whole fight, couldn't move in and out, and occasionally bobbed straight up and down for no reason except to pretend his legs were still there

I think Mike was high for the fight.
He pretty much just stood there and guarded.
20 million. A million for each of his 7 kids.
He did crazy stunts for his whole career.
He never cared what anyone thought of him.
Imagine paying for tickets?

I think your right. He looked formidable in his training video's. Saw a replay when he first stepped in ring with that expression ,,,or expressionless look .....he was loaded , no wind , no legs. no balance. Could barely shuffle back to his corner at end of round...without being hit. The guy is 58 not 88. Thru the fight for some cash padded on.

^^ Yes there was something really off with him, I agree. I mean he is 58 yes, yet not 80. The more I think and learn about the ins and outs of the supposed 'fight' the more I am sadly leaning into the fact there was an agreement in place. With this, ol' Mike didn't know how to approach it and was caught between wanting to fight and tending the agreement and ended up looking silly.

Oh common guys! Do you know how many hits to the head did he get during his career? His brain is probably semi-liquid by now! No wonder he was a bit off….

Yah we know his elevator doesn't go to the top. But the man can fight.....if he wants to. No shame Mikey , he will probably squeal on Jakes camp in a few months with some wild drug induced story.

I listened to a part of a podcast yesterday and the guy said that in the contract between them if Tyson doesn't go the distance he get's nothing, not sure if that's the case or not but Paul did say he let up so the people could enjoy the full 8 rounds, smacks of a sham.

His training videos were heavily edited. Sped up. You could see his trainer "over reacting" to his punches when he hit the pads.

All to sell an event where they both cashed in big.

Good for both of them.

I did not expect a real boxing match. It would be dangerous for Mike at his age taking a punch in the head.

And, we know the shape he was in over the last few years (suffering with back and knee issues for years).

I guess Evander Kane has reminded Paul of his fight challenge.

So, beating up old farts is now a sport that people pay to watch ?

That would be a very bad day for Kane if Paul takes him up on it.
