Hi All,

I just watched the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson boxing match. I thought it was boring and a bit of a let down. You would expect them to try a bit harder for the millions they were earning for fighting that match...

Bye, Wilfred.

Yeah. I was rooting for Mike, but he seemed (to me) to be just showing his age, rightfully so. I really wanted him to beat that punk's ass. :-)

Some claim it was rigged. meh, I don't think so.

Yes, me too! ;-)

But it was clear Mike wasn't moving around the ring too well, probably because of his bad knee. And Jake kept his distance. So Mike couldn't get to him.

Some claim it was rigged. meh, I don't think so.

It looked like Jake was holding back a bit, he could have hit him more. But maybe he was afraid for Mike's punches? ;)
So he played it smart to get a win, but it was boring to watch...

Bye, Wilfred.

Hello Wilfred!

I just watched the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson boxing match.
I thought it was boring and a bit of a let down. You
would expect them to try a bit harder for the millions
they were earning for fighting that match...

I read about it briefly. Didn't even know the event was a
"thing". Everything is "taylor swift" here.

How long was the actual fight? I heard that Tyson came out
swingin and punching well in the begining, but then slowed down
fast and seemed to be taking all the punches.

Taylor who? ;-)

How long was the actual fight?

8 Rounds of 2 minutes, with bigger/heavier gloves than usual for a pro boxing match...

I heard that Tyson came out swingin and punching well in the begining,

Yeah he could get a few times to Jake in the first two rounds but after that he wasn't moving to well, and Jake stayed out of his way most of the time, using his longer reach to his advantage.

but then slowed down fast and seemed to be taking all the punches.

Yeah, sort of. But most of them were just jabs, and none of them seem to hurt him...

Bye, Wilfred.

Tonight is her 3rd how of 6 in Toronto's Roger's Center.

How did you watch it? Did you get a proper TV feed? ..or were
you a lucky Netflix viewer?

I fully agree with you. I did not expect a super high level of boxing, but is was a pretty terrible fight, especially for the large amount of money earned.It is a good thing that this was aired on Netflix, as this would have been a horrible pay-per-view.

I didn't watch it live. Which was in the middle of the night for me anyway...

I was trying to find a full recording of it, but it does not
seem to be available to the general public.

There is if you know where to look. Probably in more then 1 place. ;-)

I have actually seen a few people say they believe that Paul was a Tyson
fan and knew that Tyson needed money, which was why he did it to begin with.

Some of what Tyson said afterwards about his health earlier this year made
me wonder if there could not be some truth to that speculation.
