i want mike tyson to knock jake paul's head off in the first punch to stunned silence from the audience but we live in hell so he's almost certainly being paid to take a fall

Worse, it will go all eight rounds with Tyson and Paul slowly hugging and swaying in the ring all night like they were at Squall's middle school dance. All the while we will be subject to Love is Blind 47 and Too Hot to Handle 69 promos every two minutes with Nick Lachey and Matt Rife on commentary.
this is almost certainly the case but I'm pulling for Mike to see red and revert to his old instincts, maybe kill Paul in one punch or at least claim an ear.
Would be good if it went like Pulp Fiction and even though Mike got paid to take the fall he knocked Jake Paul out stone dead and then went on the run in a pimp truck
But wouldn’t Mike be one of the only dudes in the world to say fuck the money and knock Paul’s head off anyway? Like Brad Pitt’s character in “Snatch”?
6 rounds of handsies followed by the slowest overhand right you’ll ever see from a professional boxer and Mike deciding to lounge on the canvass while that baboon celebrates. Boxing is indeed in hell
I can't believe people are posting about this nonsense, I can't believe anybody is actually going to watch it, well, apart from Americans, for obvious reasons.
if there's a "paid to take a fall," (which I kinda pray for?) Tyson wins. This whole thing makes me feel more bleak about humanity, writ large, than the election, although they are of a piece
I don’t think he took a fall. He’s just old. He was gassed after the second round. But he was still out there swinging. But I do wish he would have pounded the little punk.
i keep telling myself he's rich enough to not bother with that and enough of a crazy asshole to give that little blond bastard the Punch-Out experience. maybe I'll will it into existence!
That is my rationale as well. He's a wild card, always has been. He also seems to actually care what people think of him, which is particularly wild considering he could beat everybody up.
he's definitely being paid to take a fall but can't count out the possibility that midway through Tyson changes his mind and punches Jake Paul into the shadow realm
Nah.
I'd prefer second punch...
First one to the ribs/solar plexus, to fold him in half.
Followed by an uppercut that separates his conciousness from his being.
I have the same impending dread about the Tyson/Paul fight that I had on election night: namely, that the slightly worse person (Paul) is going to win.
Yeah, I’d like to think Tyson cares about his legacy enough to not have a tie or loss to Jake Paul, even at this age. But it’s also very likely that he doesn’t give a shit about “the legitimacy of boxing” anymore and is happy to just get paid.
Probably not true because M. Ali was so devastatingly talented, but it is said that Sonny Liston decided to take a fall and in so doing kept his jaw intact.
Yeah imagine how many views an "I beat Iron Mike" video will get? It's not about sport or boxing, it's about making money, like Lunchly or any other youtube scam
100000%
Anyone thinks that is an actual "fight" is a moron. It's all being setup for 2.0 later on.
This entire world we live in is based on grifting and bullshit.
That's where my head has been too. I've hoped it's not an exhibition/dive style thing, but he's old, then you listen to his pre fight interviews and you see the spark in his eyes. I'm totally torn
I don’t believe that. Mike already said it’s not about the money. He’s gonna teach that 27 year old man what it’s like to fight a true professional boxer. Like Mike said the media made Jake a killer Mike is a natural born killer.

I felt that.
I feel nostalgia is blinding the fact Tyson is now 58 and been munching shrooms for the last decade
If Paul gets knocked TF out it will be posted everywhere seconds later.
Instead, yall are likely to watch an exhibition with a man who has no business in the ring for physical and mental wellbeing reasons.
Honestly I hope Mike concusses his ass into the emergency room...Earlier the better...

Paul's thing is fighting people that either arn't boxers, out of shape, don't care or all of the above.
hes just a wrestling heel you want to see get hit, hes not paying people off
I'm only surprised and saddened by the amount of people who still fall for these stunts.

He's also 58
In fact wouldn’t be surprised if Jake Paul paid you to write this
Jake Plays a heal to make himself rich
Who cares really go do something with your night instead of watching to a guy box a senior citizen
In the countdown series his trainers were shown testing him for 5 rounds...
I would bet its over after 5.
Now to sit through the warm-up scraps
