Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul: Take Two

[Fool's Requiem]

so boring

 

[Mark]

I would have loved to see a 27 year old Tyson against a 27 year old Paul.

I can't say I'm impressed with Paul. Like at all. Yeah his left jab is quick... but that was it. Maybe it was Tyson and maybe it was Paul backing off some, but he carried his hands so low a younger Tyson would have knocked him out within seconds.

I can't see Paul facing anyone legitimate. I think he dies if he does.

For all the training Paul has access to, I wasn’t too impressed with his form or his accuracy. His arrogance is also going to get him hurt. I’m very surprised it didn’t happen tonight.

Most entertaining part was Mike Tyson's ass and it was wild that they showed it again at the end in the little highlight reel thing.

there is no way Paul didn't win that fight. Mike looked totally outmatched.

Which is saying something, because Paul was sloppy as hell. Aside from the obvious agility/balance issues, Mike ended up opening himself up to too many shots with that glove-biting tick he still has, and he did it more in that fight than any of the others I’ve seen with him.

Paul won in a judge's decision.

But this should have been headlined by Serrano/Taylor. That fight was amazing.

Mike said after he was dealing with an injury. Which likely occurred in the third when he was staggered. He was not moving right after that.

Absolutely, and the Barrios/Ramos fight was worth it also.

Mike said after he was dealing with an injury. Which likely occurred in the third when he was staggered. He was not moving right after that.

Considering he has injuries older than Paul, that doesn’t surprise me in the least… all it could take is a body shot to a previously cracked rib or a good hit to a previously hairline fractured cheekbone or orbital to set things off. You don’t go as many fights as Tyson has without picking up some damage along the way.

Tyson looked so old that Kamala should have taken his place

I will watch the next boxing match Paul is in with a REAL boxer in his prime. Other than that, I'm done with him fighting old and out of class amateurs.

He's not good at boxing and last night proved that to me.

He really should just take his 7 figure drawers and his dumbass entrance on over to the WWE if he wants to be all about showmanship like that. The contrast of his entrance and Mike’s said it all.

His brother is doing it, isn't he?

I couldn’t tell you. I didn’t even know Jake was a Disney kid til I saw the meme I shared.

I didn't until they showed it in the prematch talks between the female match and theirs.

It’s instances like that that make me question if I’m getting old… I was never really on top of all pop culture, but, I knew enough to get by. Nowadays, I hear about this singer, that actor, or that athlete and I’m like… “who?”

Same way. I used to know every baseball player in the majors down to AA. Same with hockey. Now I'm lucky to know the main roster for one team.

I was talking to a buddy of mine about something similar, and we landed on an interesting theory… there’s a faster turnaround for celebrity status than when we were kids. We had guys that went on to become legends, and now… it’s all flash in the pan stuff and onto the next big ticket person.

Yeah, he's been very decent at it.

One of many reasons I don't watch WWE currently.

You don't because they don't know who the fuck Mike Tyson is.

Not a clue. I showed some old knockout clips to a 16 year old and had to let him know.

I mean, there were many occasions where it seemed to me that they were definitely pulling their punches and I didn't need to slow down the footage. Sure, there was some solid hits, but not nearly enough for it to hurt either fighter long term... or even short term. I don't care that Tyson didn't want it to be an exhibition fight so they could put it on their records, it was 100% an exhibition fight.

I don't think Tyson cares about his record. His legacy is cemented.

I also am under no illusions the fight wasn't a rigged/understood outcome.

This was WWE and Tyson was trying to put Paul over. They failed. The match sucked.

I just thought this was interesting.

 

[Mark]

I caught on to quite a few of those live, and part of me isn’t really surprised since he has more or less made a meme of himself to distance himself from his turbulent past, but part of me thought he’d value his reputation in the ring more than to give up even an exhibition L to a clown like Paul.

It’ll just make the day that Paul finally gets the shit kicked out of him that much better.
