OT: Iron Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

[UCan3]

Netflix really screwed up and letting people think that the fight started at 8 PM eastern time. they lost people by the minute, leading up to the main ticket.

Great point, and the technical difficulties as the night went on was like adding fuel to the fire.

I am sure Netflix is looking ahead to charge for live events - big step backwards last night.

It's hilarious anyone thinks that wasn't set up. They didn't even do a good job of tying to make it look real. Sparring sessions have more fireworks than that.

I think The Who had a song about this more than 50 years ago.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Ah, I thought you were going with "hope I die before I get old."

Tyson could have been wearing leg irons and would not have been any slower in closing to Paul. No one involved in this fight could not have known that. A complete set up. Anyone believing Paul is a legit boxer is fooling themselves. Any real boxer would have but Mike on the canvas early. Paul was obvious in his attacks, looked just as winded as Tyson by the end, couldn't follow up any combo and left his face wide open for most of the fight. If Tyson was able to actually get inside, he may have been able to land a knockout punch. The women in the previous bout hit harder and more frequently.

No need to consider any boxing event ever again if this is the best draw that they have.

Silly, scripted fight scheduled for kids and idiots. Pass.

So, anyone curious about the fight and watched it is an idiot? A truly condescending generalization by someone who clearly doesn't recognize their own idiocy. You're a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Maybe we should schedule a fight on Netflix to hash it out.

This was a ridiculous boxing fight, of course. Tyson is 58 and no business being in that ring.

It also is a cultural touchstone event. You cant deny everyone and there mother was watching this.

As a cultural event, amazing, as a sporting event. You get about what i expected.

Ahhhh, reminds me of the Yard's "Iron Mike" who was neither Iron or named Mike. Guy was 125 pounds soaking wet.

'And a key member of Team AAAB, winners of the BYC.

Sure, but only if it's scripted and only children and idiots will watch.

I was hoping for "Mama's got a squeezebox, Daddy never sleeps at night".
