Tyson vs Paul
- Thread starter BLEE
- Start date
Don't bother. It looked pathetically staged.
Finally got it to stream on my iPad… Got all excited when I saw Mike’s speed in round one. For a brief moment, I thought Mike was literally gonna kill, or at least put Jake Paul into a coma.
Then reality…and age set in.

You trying to say they staged it just for a quick money grab? Say it aint so!
It was like they didn't even try to hide it.
I think they just put the final nail in pro boxing..
MMA is the biggest winner tonight

Bet all the folks here who were having Netflix issues are now glad they missed most of it. 
Mike looked nothing like his training videos
I really don’t think it was staged per se.
I think Paul backed off after the 4th round when realized Mikes body was cooked. He could have probably came in heavy after that and chose not too. I don’t think NOT executing a man you respect is the same as staging a fight.
The woman’s fight was a good fight.
You just can’t expect that same level of fighting as those girls out of a man that’s almost 60. I get people went in hoping for that, but reality still came.

Staged or not, Tyson will always be badass in my eyes.
Staged? I think it was exactly what it was. An old man got to go in the ring again, and a young man got to live a dream. I thought Paul showed some class with both his speech, and with the way he handled the fight.(There was no real fight, Mike really had no chance.)
Wellllllll....this didn't age well. I'll have to see the fight at some point.
You didn’t miss shit, luckily I’m in a bar in Mexico watching and there’s other things to look at.
Don’t waste your time
Paul didn't fight Iron Mike.
He fought Rusted Mikey.
I got to watch it with 2 of my kids, so I call the time together a win, the fight a disappointment, and the reality that age eventually gets us all a draw.

Tyson did not attack ever, no slip, no combo, no body shots that mattered. A complete shitshow, jake paul just as lame , 5 inch reach advantage and no real follow up to the jab. The women, Sarona(?) and Taylor were the 2 best fighters of the 4 card night i saw. All the down card fights were LAME . I think boxing just shit themselves by this debacle.
Absolute pure shit. I've seen two hobos fight harder for half a cigarette. Fucking garbage.
I just watched a highlight reel on YouTube. I'm glad I went and loaded ammo instead of watching that shit live.
Jake dancing around with his hands held low quite a bit. I'm not a boxing fan, but that just doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
That was definitely not what I expected after seeing some training videos of Tyson.
I'm glad I didn't pay for that bullshit.

Yep.. That was the highlight of the night. Those two girls were bruiser's and hungry, both had speed, power, and good spontaneous action. Was probably best female box bout I ever seen.

I know for a facts it’s staged in order to raise money for Tyson new boxing center to help new young boxers wanting to train.
There is no way the money grubbers in charge were going to let their golden boy get busted up by an old man. From the highlights I saw it looked like Mike could have capitalized a few times, but he looked to stilted, then he just looked tired. Jake and Mike got to make a mint and neither of them took any real damage. I think the biggest fight had to be the promoters convincing Tyson that this loss wouldn’t look bad on his record due to his age. Mostly I think even less of Jake Paul because while he might claim to respect Tyson this whole farce was a disrespect to Tyson’s legacy as one of the best.
Shawn Strickland would be a good option. Oh wait, I bet they couldn’t get Shawn to take the million to not put him to sleep.
Evander Holyfield was sure showing the effects of his career. I’m sure Tyson is dealing with some of what ails him.
Tyson held his own and I think JP held back some.
Paul will feel some of those punches that landed today.
It was respect to a degree. It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility had Tyson landed one Paul would have been out.
Sad in one way to see Tyson now superimposed over Tyson than.
More so when I think personally that he is me and what he has lost physically so have I.

they each got millions for their..............show
I called it way earlier it's a money grab for both of them
I remember when Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ears in '97, I was over at Chip McCormick's house watching it on HBO.
McCormick tried to get me to pay half of the $30.00 Pay-per-view fee because Tyson got disqualified in the 3rd round. He bugged me for days after that but I said no.

Mikes performace was a let down, he was obviously nursing a fucked up knee, looked nothing like the match against Jone in 20
Still they marketed this fight beautifully.

We all had high hopes to see some of the old magic that was “iron Mike” (myself included).
Truth is he had no business being in there. Paul showed him respect and carried him to the end after the first round. Tyson posed 0 threat at any time.
Anyone that boxed at any level, or was a boxing fan knew it was coming, we just were hoping to see a glimpse of prime iron mike for a few rounds.

That shit was so fake! I mean yeah there were some hits given but overall that was nothing but a damn choreographed hits withheld show. The two women right before was actually something to watch.
Says the guy not getting beat on with more than likely no televised pro fights
Exactly what I was thinking. As soon as he did that he pulled back and let Paul tap at him over and over.
I think he could have ended it in the first. I'd bet money there was a big $ on them both going all 8 rounds.
Never so disappointed in a fight in my life. Totally staged, start to finish. I have no doubt Tyson could have mopped and waxed the floor with Jake Paul. Neither fought. They both showed up and got paid. I think this was Tyson's farewell to all boxing, including exhibitions. He got the last big retirement paycheck and went home.
