A convicted rapist vs a fascist and nobody won except Jerry Jones who hosted. As he does.

sweetfreedom.bsky.social•100 days ago

And everyone rooting for a remorseless violent rapist who got off pretty easy and then just bragged about how he’s done much worse. ☹️

The official wcb fights were more entertaining

Spot on...

swan2swan.bsky.social•100 days ago

Sounds like I really should have put money down on this because I would have CLEANED HOUSE.

Someone said it was like a Trump rally and honestly they aren’t wrong.

bgossin.bsky.social•99 days ago

It's all so stupid. Can't believe how many millions of dollars they both got for that performance.

allanlear.bsky.social•99 days ago

Why is everyone so annoyed about a rapist getting punched in the face?

sturnellamagna.bsky.social•99 days ago

Right? I thought most of the reason Bsky is blowing up is because we hate rapists yet here we are?

shimbondrn.bsky.social•100 days ago

But the fight before was worth the entire night. Just fantastic (and dirty) boxing.

alishagrauso.bsky.social•100 days ago

I honestly don't care about boxing so... I was just hoping to see Jake Paul get his ass beat lol.

cacaobyproduct.bsky.social•100 days ago

Same!

shimbondrn.bsky.social•100 days ago

I’ve learned that the moral victories we beg for are routinely denied us

apocalynx.bsky.social•99 days ago

Tyson is a convicted rapist, but yeah hope he wins cos they're other man is annoying 🙄🙄

crzyjaney.bsky.social•100 days ago

Indeed.

coachbert.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yes, Yes and Yes

deep-thought.bsky.social•99 days ago

And the bout before that (Taylor v Serrano) was one of the greatest boxing matches in recent memory, decision notwithstanding.

billie25.bsky.social•99 days ago

America, on to the next reality TV circus!

brettmbowland.bsky.social•100 days ago

But at least we got to see two female warriors beat the shit out of each other for less compensation on that very card… crickets… accordingly. Was there an overwhelming sense of just Ancient Rome for you throughout? Not getting deep into the weeds just the shallowest aspects of elitism controlling.

brettmbowland.bsky.social•100 days ago

The acknowledging of the “mvp experience” and Mo having to wax poetic on the fact that it was a national law firm. I’ve loved boxing since I was a kid. One of the few who have stuck around & always hope but it has genuinely become analogous to the American… system? Oligarchy? Influencer ganked.

alishagrauso.bsky.social•100 days ago

I didn't watch it. I don't care about boxing. I do care about the potential of Jake Paul getting his ass beat. That's it.

brettmbowland.bsky.social•100 days ago

Didn’t watch the main. Loathe the fact that disingenuous ppl have been taking over seemingly everything of any kind of collective; collegial, shared experience or event that normally brings a level of inclusivity even when involved with rivals, to just ribald levels of tribalism & perpetual hate😔

lumahai-lizard.bsky.social•100 days ago

But the tacky, sleazy con-man with bad hair still ended up winning in the end. Yes, I'm still talking about the boxing match.

tiffanybh.bsky.social•99 days ago

And lots of folks were cheering for the convicted rapi$t in the fight— so yeah, it does seem about right for 2024 America.

apocalynx.bsky.social•99 days ago

and promoting a rapist and abuser, let's not forget.

musingsfromme.bsky.social•99 days ago

True. The buffering was insane. I was getting flashbacks to the 2000s when Netflix was a DVD-only platform and every single DVD was scratched and most unwatchable.

downtown24.bsky.social•99 days ago

Like most Netflix movies they hype up but are highly disappointing

mbinnc.bsky.social•99 days ago

The women's match beforehand feels about right for 2025. Women fighting back, but things are going to get bloody.

statsboye.bsky.social•100 days ago

damn
