Tyson vs Paul

[Hot Lunch]

I’ll tell you one thing, if this was twenty five years ago I’m pretty confident a thirty two year old Mike Tyson would have beaten a two year old Jake Paul.

And he'd dare anyone to do something about it!

I had a more altruistic view that jake chose not to murder Tyson in front of a million people.

Yeah it was very clear he was holding back….anyone upset about it post fight needs ti get in reality….what did they think was going to happen Tyson is 58 with years of drug and alcohol abuse and spent years and years not training there was 0 chance he was knocking anyone out and Jake Paul isn’t going to go and try and kill an old man. I’m no fan of the guy but his antics are all for publicity. If people got scammed into paying for the fight that’s their fault

Why would he try to intentionally hurt his business partner? Tyson was making one million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars per minute. Paul exactly twice that.

Guaranteed money regardless of outcome.

They should have walked to the ring together.
The old Judy Collin’s song should have been playing. We could have all been singing along.

“Don’t you love farce?
My fault I fear
I thought that’d you want what I want
Sorry, my dear!
But where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Don’t bother, they’re here.

And yet, I fell for it again.

The fight definitely wasn't fixed.

I think the fight was exactly what people should have known it would be. A has-been facing a never-was. Lots of hype, not much substance.

Jake Paul is a good boxer,getting better with every fight.

Mike Tyson is a legend and held his own.

Jake couldn't murder Tyson, he was barely breathing by the end of 8x2 minute rounds.

He stayed outside Tyson's reach almost the entire fight.

He was too scared to stay in the clutch after round 1.

Nobody noticed the lack of clinching after the first 2 minutes? Paul wouldn't do that again he stayed at range. Talk about murder, Jake Paul would be a dead man if he'd stayed inside the swarm range.

That's fanboy talk.

Yes, we all know that Paul wouldn't have beaten a prime Tyson. Paul never said he could. But he was good enough to get those results with a 58 year old Tyson, when 99% of the rest of the world would've gotten slaughtered.

Paul definitely said that he could. That's what he does, talk smack.

Paul was taunting Tyson up to the weigh in, and only backed off literally the minute the fight was over, after he realized he'd barely won a decision over a 58 year old heavyweight champion.

Tyson was not in good shape.

I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won. To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboys stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”

Paul definitely said that he could.

For whatever reason, it was a disappointing fight. My friend said he would not watch it because he wanted to remember Tyson from his heyday. I reminded him he avoided seeing Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd with me for the same reasons. He was wrong about Zep and The Floyd, he was right about this Tyson fight!

Anyway, taking on Tyson looks great on Paul’s CV (resume), taking on Jake Paul doesn’t look so good on Tyson’s.
