I won’t watch because I don’t want the douche to have the satisfaction of getting high ratings. His reckless stunts in Japan for Internet points has earned him my hate forever. Sure hope Iron Mike takes him out in the first round like the old days, but there’s a real reason we don’t see aged boxers. Not that I'm a Jake Paul apologist but that was his older brother Logan that showed the video of the body of the apparent suicide victim in Japan. You're right. I care so little about them that I mixed them up. lol But it wasn't just the filming of the body within Aokigahara forest; he performed a whole bunch of s%#t in Japan, like throwing pokeballs at cars and the police, smashing gameboys in a game center, chasing people with a live fish, and other stupid crap. So I hope Tyson hits his brother hard enough that Logan feels it. But I'd really like it if he makes it that neither can reproduce. |

Holy crap. That Serrano/Taylor bout was intense. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a facial cut that deep.

Holy crap. That Serrano/Marsh bout was intense. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a facial cut that deep. No kidding. My wife and I are both awkwardly watching/mesmerized by this. |

Wow, that was one of the toughest fights I've watched. And I,m not so sure about the outcome, but it was a dang close fight.

Father time sucks. In his 20s or 30s Tyson would have ko'd him.

Fight was just a friendly exhibition. For millions of dollars. And we all were taken in.

Well, they'd both beat the crap out of me in my prime. I was hoping Tyson could pull it off.

I'm a huge boxing fan, I participated in the sport for a while, I got my USAB/USOC coaching certification and was working training youths before my career got busy enough to force me to stay out of the gym. Mike Tyson is one of my all time favorite fighters. He looks ferocious as ever in the training videos they're releasing. I probably will not watch this fight. I do not want this fight to happen. Tyson is nearly 60 years old, in the exhibition match with Roy Jones you saw two very old lions sort of mildly tussling. It was fine, I watched that one just because it was one of my all time favorite fighters against THE all time favorite fighter of mine, but the violence of youth is gone from Mike Tyson. Father Time is undefeated. I don't want to see what is going to happen, happen. Jake Paul is going to hurt Mike. He's nowhere near Tyson's prime level, he's not in the same universe but Prime Tyson was a star that burned brightly and briefly, and not because of the reasons you think. The Peekaboo style does not lend itself to any kind of career longevity, it's predicated on incredible reactions, a squared up stance, and phenomenal upper body movement. That kind of speed and flexibility is monopolized by the very young. An upright style based off timing, length, and immense power like Foreman's style will weather the ravages of time much better. Expectations for Tyson's performance should be managed, I think after the mid point of round 1 it starts to look like something we don't wanna see. When they say listen to the expert... |

I read that MT was estimated to get $20m and JP to get $40m. They both won.

Man I was standing in front of the TV during the 8th round yelling at the TV “Don’t hurt him Jake, come on, don’t hurt him.” I gained a bunch of appreciation for him for taking his foot off the gas pedal and showing respect with the hands behind the back and bow at the end. I wanted his corner to stop the fight after the third. People vastly underestimate how truly hard boxing is and how razor thin the margin for error is. I quit competing when I was 35 and there was already an ocean between me and those young lions. |
