Yo DC, it looks like we're the only ones still up while the old asses like @nail1988 @NavigatorII and @Gator Fever all fell asleep. 🤣 🤣

And it is the farce it always seemed it would be.
Glad Tyson didn't get hurt, but guys his age shouldn't be getting in the ring.

I figured it was futile. It was also the only time I have ever pulled for Tyson. He appears to have mellowed with age and seems philosophical compared to the thug he was in the past. It wasn't me rooting against Paul. At 55 I had to root for the introspective 58 yr old.
I haven't watched boxing in years. Pooling money to watch PPV where Tyson bit Holyfield followed by Lewis' boxing style and run as champeen, had this causal fan disinterested.
I don't hate Iron Mike anymore. Still not sold on him being the most upstanding citizen but he seems to be a much more decent human being these days.
I can still hate on Lennox Lewis.

I gave you a 🤣 for the Lennox Lewis comment. With that said, if I knew I'd waste over 4 hours of prelims, I would rather have binged watched the new 5 episodes of Cobra Kai.I figured it was futile.

Kind of what I thought could happen. I do wonder if Paul purposely took it easy the last few rounds or if he was just not wanting to risk taking a good shot. The age was just a killer for Tyson. Hopkins I think could still fight decent at about 50 but he trained like a madman and never took a break from the sport.
Paul actually said he eased up a bit in the final rounds
Jake Paul will not lose one of these "fights" he puts on. He purposely picks opponents who "need" a payday and are well passed their prime. It makes both a lot of money
I thought that before but he lost a decision to Fury's brother and it didn't look fixed to me. I think it's more him being smart about who he fights. I don't think Furys brother is that good but he at least knows how to box. All the others were MMA over the hill guys etc and this way over the hill Tyson fight.
I didn't see that Logan Paul - Mayweather mess but a lot of people think it was fixed.
He is getting to the end of that golden highway now. After this 16 minute episode of dancing with a former star, people are going to lose their appetite for this kind of charade. He is going to have to have a real fight soon.
I think some as well. He'll have to mix in a rea l fight soon. But then again if he keeps making 40 million to fight the old guys with big names why change?
