Genuinely hilarious

Was always going to be a case of who landed first and so it proved. AJ looked defenceless throughout, it was quite sad to see.

Massive congrats to DDD, upsetting the bookies yet again.

He’s going to be the guy at the top of the division, especially once Fury, Usyk, AJ all hang them up in the next year or 2.

What a nutcase. :snowflake:

This Tyson-Paul shit makes me ill as a one time boxing fan. It’s sick that the biggest fights there are these days as these sorts of Rocky vs Thunderlips circus shows. But anyway…

Joke fight.
That they will both earn a shed load of money for this is a fucking disgrace.

Tyson Paul isn’t boxing, let’s not get this twisted. It’s a youtuber who’s never legitimately fought a licensed boxer and lost to some dude off love island versus someone’s grandfather who’s been retired for 20 years.

Boxing is what you’ll see between Ramirez Barboza and Zurdo CBS on Saturday night.

i get the afficiendos cant be arsed with the fight…but im drawn to it…

I’d watch Tyson train, let alone fight… even if this is more like “half a fight”.

As a kid, my dad used to wake me up early for his two Holyfield fights. Also remember when he celebrated Foreman’s big title winning return against Moorer.

Of course we all prefer real fights with both men at their peaks, but I’ll watch certain events of this type, too.

Jake Paul not fit enough to lace Thunderlips’ boots

I don’t really get the appeal.

It’s a low bar for me. This has to be better than the election and Meg: the Shark Under Paris. Right?

All of you made me watch those.

just wondering your age bracket and maybe that has something to do with it?

i remember watching tyson (Highlights) at his peak at about age12-15…was at the pub by the time he bit Holyfields ear off if i remember correctly…pub was full…

but its the early Tyson…was just insane to watch…

so im drawn for whatever reason…oddly enough…in the same ballpark, but i just cannot be arsed paying $400 to watch Elton John or Paul Mcartney (let alone Oasis or Pearl Jam) at a testimonial concert…

its a contradiction, i know…but im drawn to this fight…

the footage of a 16-18 year old Mike Tyson shadow boxing (its on the web and i think its in the doco) actually intimidates me…its fucking scary…the hair on the back of my neck litterally stands up when i watch it…

i think thats what gets people so enthralled with him…not his longevity or anything else he did or said…becuase he was hardly a long term peak fighter…

a bit like Ronaldinho for me…his flame burned brighter than anyone id ever seen, he took the whole industry and made it watch, as amazing as Messi and Ronaldo have been…no one captures the imagination quite like Ronaldinho…same same for Tyson

I’d like to see Tyson fight this weirdo. I’d pay.

I demand an interview with Goyat in Punjabi!

So imagine Ronaldinho vs. IShowSpeed in a 1vs1 futsal competition on Netflix.
