Fake News, you couldn’t watch the fight on Netflix it was stills between buffers.
But for real who expect an out of form 60yo to do anything but loose.
Also outside USA and stream didn’t work on PC at all starting around the final undercard fight. It kinda worked on my phone for some reason but ended up just finding a pirate stream to continue watching on my computer.
Wasn’t until the post fight commentary that my official stream started working again
Glad I didn’t give Netflix any money.
Of course it was, Tyson isn’t a Saiyan. He ain’t getting stronger at 60.
If anyone actually watched the whole thing, Tyson came out hot and Paul had a moment of fear. Then old man got hit a few times and looked like he was about to wobble to the ground.
I thought it was gonna be fake and scripted. And most of it was. But, the actual fight? Mike came out hot and it was pretty clear Paul could have taken him out a number of times but didn’t. He didn’t want to hurt him.
Look, I don’t like Jake Paul or Mike Tyson. But, it was a media event. It wasn’t “rigged”
I think Tyson had the power in his arms to do some damage but he just did not have the speed to get in at all after 2 rounds. And he’d leave himself open if he tried.
Thanks for an actually smart summary. I only watched the first few rounds, then skipped to the end, but I have the same impression.
Paul was using his head, not wanting kill a 58 yrs old sport legend accidentally. Also, he stayed in distance, to avoid accidentally walking into a stronger punch from Tyson’s shorter arms. The match we have seen is the logical result of these factors, no scripting needed.
Paul and Tyson made 40 and 20 million from this, 120 million ppl watched live on Netflix, so now the phones will not stop ringing at Paul’s promotion agency to make fights like these happen in the future, as I bet a lot of boxers would love to make money like Tyson did.
I don’t see how Paul wins here at all. Either he beats up a 60 year old man or gets beat by a 60 year old man. There’s no way to look good in this.
Meh it’s the 60 year old man’s decision to fight. Your argument is in the same vein as “you can’t fight against a woman”. If they want it, so be it.
That’s not a fair comparison, age matters, most people don’t get smarter or stronger when they grow old. More fair comparison would be “you can’t fight against a child”, some children are quite strong for their age, as Mike definitely is for his age, and some eager children would surely want to fight against a professional in his prime. But there’s no point for said professional to fight them apart from a show match, and you don’t destroy children or elders in a show match even of you can.
Other then the fact of “money” I don’t see why Tyson did this. He’s a fuckin legend and he knows he’s better then this hothead youtuber. Paul his boxing pants are worth 1million because it’s full of diamonds. How far from reality do you want to live. But whatever.
I wouldn’t fight a woman just because she wants it. I would feel horrible beating her up.
You have to understand that just because someone wants something, it doesn’t mean they are thinking straight. You shouldn’t take advantage of that.
He won 40 mil and Mike won 20 mil.
It was dumb, we paid attention, Tyson cashed in. Nobody was hurt. They both won.
Yeah, but I would have really appreciated it if Paul was hit KO. Would have made everything just a bit nicer.
Oh yeah, it would have.
I think if tyson won, they’d just get him to keep fighting weird fights.
Well I think it’s pretty fair to say a lot of people were tuning in to see him get his ass beat. He’s made a career out of being a piece of shit that people want to see get knocked out. So he wins by us all hating him because if we’re hating him we’re paying attention to him.
