I couldn’t care less. ☮️

We weren't

heavymetalmike.bsky.social•107 days ago

It was a total spectacle.. the fight itself was a joke. Tyson landed 2 punches a round so thankfully he wasn’t getting paid by the punch. Paul is not a great boxer which is why he is fighting 58 year old dudes

haydencarlos.bsky.social•107 days ago

I agree. He was making headway actually fighting professionals near his class, then did this.

No boxing fans are into any of Jakes fights, it's just a deep desire to see him get slapped.

I am wondering why we are giving Tyson the spotlight again. He is a convicted rapist

I stopped being an actual boxing fan when Don King turned it into a ridiculous spectacle.

dragonfalconeagle.bsky.social•107 days ago

Eh who cares if it was. Entertaining idea to see how the greatest boxer ever in old age would do against an average boxer in prime boxing age.

ox45tallboy.bsky.social•107 days ago

The earlier Taylor-Serrano fight was one hell of a boxing match. I'm glad they got some exposure.

haydencarlos.bsky.social•107 days ago

As was Barrios v Ramos. Two scrappers I’d love to watch fight again

Well, they're both trumpers to start with; that aside, one acts boastful and disrespectful, like the stunt he pulled in Japan, and the other once beat the shit out of an ex-wife and hospitalized her. But hey, nostalgia.

I watch boxing all the time. I wanted to see Mike. It was “free”.

bobsaccamanno.bsky.social•108 days ago

Maybe Tyson also wanted a huge incentive to get fit.

sethabramson.bsky.social•108 days ago

That is interesting, though I feel like he has gone through that process enough times that he is up to it and can do it privately?

bobsaccamanno.bsky.social•108 days ago

If you've been a fighter all your life and your exercise regime was always goal oriented...plus the money was good.

apehuman.bsky.social•107 days ago

Refused to watch - I can at least not finance craven grifters, and I’m not referring to Tyson.

carlinthinks.bsky.social•108 days ago

Of course, Tyson is an adult and responsible for his own actions, but the whole thing felt predatory on the part of Jake Paul. I think people were really hoping Paul would lose.

rabiakeeble.bsky.social•108 days ago

Entertaining in a circus sort of way but not truly a boxing match. I felt bad for Mike. I for one wouldn't want to go out old and winded but he needed the money I guess

rlawson.bsky.social•108 days ago

Was hopeful that Tyson would beat the snot of the dude. Fight started and Paul played keep away. Shorter rounds were in Tyson's favor but a bigger ring was in Paul's. Paul wouldn't get in range so Tyson could pummel him and Tyson didn't chase like he did in the old days to pummel. So they danced

You’ve answered your own question there👍🏻

drunk-gen-xor.bsky.social•107 days ago

Yea some of us that grew up on Tyson were. We wanted to see Paul shut up and one last knockout by Mike. But 58 is 58. He knew he only had 1 shot maybe 2 and so did Paul. Paul stayed away and Mike didn't have the energy to go get him. Hated to see it. But the ladies before them. 😮 Ready for a rematch

llamannerdymama.bsky.social•107 days ago

It was the first boxing I’ve watched in a longtime. I was sadly disappointed in the whole card. The fact that Jake Paul can beat up a man only three years younger than his dad no matter who that man is. Is not impressive.

wyl.bsky.social•108 days ago

It's all about the...

knowledge1968.bsky.social•107 days ago

Useless over hill fighter to 1go 6 rounds to get million $.

knowledge1968.bsky.social•107 days ago

Lots of it.

mountaindw3ller.bsky.social•108 days ago

Very small part of me wished Tyson could have pulled it off. 😒

pbmiller63.bsky.social•107 days ago

It was awful. Not sure what was worse, watching a punk wanna fight an old man or the old man putting a period at the end of boxing this way.
