Mik Tyson vs Jake Paul

[Gavster]

Tyson had nothing in legs for the entire fight, he looked like an old man shuffling around, there was no bounce, no energy, just a slow old man, what a shame. He landed a couple of lefts but that was it. Paul on the other hand looked good, he's improved, he looked better than against Tommy Fury for sure and could have gone harder on Tyson at the end.

It shows that Paul is progressing as a fighter, but he really needs to start doing serious fights, with serious boxing contenders.

Glad I didn't make an effort to get up to watch this. After seeing the netflix uploaded stream this morning it really was a bit of a sad show. But it was always about dollars and entertainment rather than boxing.

Jake Paul has been shown to be a rubbish boxer when fury who also terrible outboxed him.

i watched it when i got up. Tyson came out ok, but you can’t make up for the fact he’s 58 years old. He just couldn’t move fast enough - Paul was getting double the punches in from then onwards (though he might as well have been hitting a brick wall for most of it.)

[Gavster]

That's true, when Paul was landing punches, Tyson was unflinching.

Yeah, I was up early enough to catch the end of the women’s fight which was great. Based on the rounds I saw Serrano was robbed.

Watched all 20 thrown punches in the first two rounds and turned it off.

The highlight

Not the result I wanted, but it’s the result I reluctantly expected.

Aye

Noticed that a 3 part fly-on-the-wall documentary about Tyson and Paul's prep for the fight dropped on Netflix yesterday. Clever move, they got their money's worth out of the deal. Hope Netflix get more fights, because I like that kind of documentary and also resent paying £30+ for pay per view, when I can piggyback @Sundayjumper's Netflix account for free

Also worth noting (I think someone mentioned it previously here) that the Taylor-Serrano fight that was supporting the Tyson-Paul headline is apparently one of the best boxing matches you'll ever see and worth a look.
