Hope Tyson can get close enough to land a few proper punches and show the difference between a proper fighter and a media showman.0

I have to admit that I have a sort of morbid fascination with this farce, so will be watching.
However, I also believe that it is an absolute disgrace that they are not the undercard to Taylor Vs Serrano.0 -
It will go five or six rounds and the ref will stop it in favour of Logan Paul . It’s scripted without doubt and that’s how I would script it if i was them.1
-
Not sure Tyson would script anything. Looks extremely fit and strong for a 58 year old, my bet isTyson will rip him new one. Years of boxing experience and huge punching power vs a media person .....0

So can I get up tomorrow and it will be on Netflix to download a rerun when you want?0

Ali fought a Japanese wrestler in the 70’s, so it’s been coming for a long time.thenewbie said:

Of Course it is. It's a form of WWE Circus boxing . Tyson will lose on purpose .

Because it’s the only way it won’t embarrass Tyson .JaShea99 said:

It’s scripted without doubt and that’s how I would script it if i was them.Paul is 31 years younger and although not a proper boxer , he’s still extremely fit . Tyson didn’t have the lungs when he last fought in 2005 so the ref stopping the fight sometime after halfway makes total sense .Tyson won’t get knocked out and I don’t think Jake Paul wants to do that to him either .I’m sure they’ve got it all worked out WWE style.
Listen. , I could be completely wrong but I doubt it .I won’t be watching it because it’s circus boxing and it’s not good for the sport for a 58 year old man to get into a boxing ring .I’ll find out the result when I wake up .1 -
He has arthritis and suffered a hernia a few months ago. He’s an old man desperate to make a last buck . That experience you speak of is there but his body isn’t , regardless of how he looks in a press conference.red10 said:Not sure Tyson would script anything.

Well yes he was convicted, he also did his sentence and got released so he's done his time.Ian Nightingale said:Mike Tyson is a fucking convicted rapist remember that????I don’t think I’ve heard that said in defence of any other convicted rapist.But I’m old school so maybe the world has moved on.6 - Sponsored links:

Appreciate nobody is awake, but nobody is watching this fight. Netflix has been a total disaster.0

Yep just switched on for this fight but it’s not great at all. Closing and reopening gets it going again luckily.cafcnick1992 said:Appreciate nobody is awake, but nobody is watching this fight. Netflix has been a total disaster.0 -
I used to love boxing, Katie Taylor winning that fight just shows what an absolute farce it is.
A pointless exercise might as well watch wwe2 -
Well that was as terrible as a lot of people expected.
Tyson was pretty gassed from round 3 and Jake Paul didn't really do much. Almost felt like he realised how sad this whole thing was and didn't really go for the knock out.2 -
Fake as anything, very fitting it was aired on Netflix.
Happy to see old man Mike walk away a richer man and not get hurt, credit to Jake Paul for not hurting him, as he could have really done so if he wanted to.
All in all, another circus of a fight. Glad it was free1 -
I was having a dump in the middle of the night and they showed Tyson arriving , he walked like an old man with dodgy knees or arthritis he looked awful in his movement , when I saw that I then realised why Jake Paul was 1 to 2 on , load of guff

Pretty sure that Jake Paul isn't serious about making it as a pro boxer, especially as after the fight he talked about a huge money fight with Canelo.
Canelo would destroy him, but i'm sure he wants no part of it as the fight would do absolutely nothing for him except add another 8 figures to his already huge bank account.
But it says a lot about Paul, he's not interested in fighting boxers in his weight division and working his way up, he's clearly only interested in rinsing youtube fans and making as much money from this charade as possible, and fair play to him.0 -
Antonio Inoki. Show some respect, he's as big a name in Japan as Ali is in the states. An absolute legend.guinnessaddick said:

No disrespect to Inoki but Ali was a big name (perhaps the biggest) in pretty much every country on earth.

Not a big boxing fan, but this was always a nonsense to me. Like watching the you tube footballers or the sport aid match.2

Crap fight. Netflix failed. Old Father Time won that.
as did Paul with $40m and Tyson $20m
The stupid thing is we probably ALL want to see Logan Paul put on his arse so his next fight will generate as much hype

Think I reluctantly have to agree despite wanting Taylor to win, only explanation I can muster up is Serrano threw and landed plenty but few were impactful and the judges felt Taylor landed the more ‘important’ punches.Ian Nightingale said:I used to love boxing, Katie Taylor winning that fight just shows what an absolute farce it is.
A pointless exercise might as well watch wweAs for the Tyson fight, he was much, much worse than I (naïvely, as a 58 year old man) thought. Seemed to me that there was some agreement not to damage each other on both sides. Total sham of a fight of course and it’s a shame that the legacy of arguably the greatest of all time will be somewhat tarnished by nothing more than a needless money grab for a YouTuber.0 -
Actually Jake Paul - Logan is the other brother who is arguably a bit more honest about the "scripted" bit and does pro wrestling.Swisdom said:Crap fight. Netflix failed. Old Father Time won that.

Not that I disagree with the point and I suspect Paul knows and is counting on a fair amount of "hate watching" to line his pockets.0 -
All very true statements about the fight it was a farce but I don’t get the anti Netflix thing I thought the coverage was 1000 times better than the shite dished up by the Saudi’s
and what a fight the women put on ! Not saying I agree with the result but ffs they both had a scrap0 -
Didn't watch and only would have done to watch Mike (like millions of others... not Jake !). Tony Bellew seems to have been making a play for the nect fight so we will see if he fights a younger boxer next.Swisdom said:Crap fight. Netflix failed. Old Father Time won that.

Not sure Jake Paul would go near Bellew. Yes it's a long time since he last fought and he's 42 but i think he's too much of a (recent) serious boxer for Paul to be interested in that. Paul is many things but stupid isn't one of them and i don't think he goes near someone who after a few months to get fit could easily smash him.shine166 said:

For sure, but there's definitely more people sitting on this fight than any of the others. At some point itl come to an end unless he fights someone that'd serious. Fair play to him though, he's made an absolute fortune out of it.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Bellew has seen the sort of money people are being paid to fight Paul and he wants a bit himself.
No other reason for him being there.
I don't blame him as the money is ridiculous.1
