The Boxing Thread

It’s not a fixed fight. It’s a federal crime in the US, and is difficult to make look real. People still went on about Paul vs Askren and Woodley being fake, despite him flatlining both of them brutally

It’s the usual stuff from a guy looking to make us much money as possible for boxing significantly smaller MMA fighters and now washed up boxers.

Keep in mind that 20 years ago Tyson was completely shot. 20 years ago. He’s since smoked practically daily, likely done loads of drugs, battled addiction and mental health issues, and lost a kid. He’s a 58 year old man and will look it come fight time.

He’s not up against anything remotely special - a low tier domestic level boxer - but he is up against a guy who has now been training consistently for 6/7 years, is in his 20’s, and is on a *-load of gear.

 

Bingo. Tyson was washed before I was even born. Early 90s he was finished. That’s 30 * years ago.

On top of that he was a boxer who relied mainly on explosive torque as opposed to technical boxing. Sure he was still a quality technical boxer but that wasn’t what made him great.

People get so carried away when they see him hit a few pads. He fought Roy Jones Jnr 4 years ago and looked every bit a 54 year old man then.

I expect Jake Paul to absolutely butcher him unless he decides to let the fight run a bit longer than it has to.

 

Fun and good analysis of both fighters

 

Might watch the fight but it's essentially pro wrestling isn't it? The skits Paul has been doing with the fat prosthetics and the fact he may as well be fighting his Dad.

Tyson hasn't won a fight in over 20 years and not won a meaningful one in near 30.

 

Crawling like a * ape up to Tyson....

If this was a ranked cruiserweight fight and Jake was doing that, I genuinely would hope to see him in hospital.

Which makes me a * person, but this delusion needs to be firmly put to bed, sadly it won't be by uppercut of Tyson though.

Paul will win and likely go on to face some random 45 year old MMA star again.

 

Has this started yet? Or does it literally come on a 1am?

 

Probably Bout 3.30 aM our time the fight

 

Here for the Taylor fight, * that sideshow.

 

This Taylor vs Serano fight been decent watching.

They aren't shy in unloading and really try landing some good combos.

Taylor maybe fortunate with the cut opening up after some head buts as well.

But these women came to fight and it's highly impressive

 

Offft point deduction on Taylor

 

Jesus surely that should be stopped.

 

That cut is mental, just a massive open wound.

But Serano pushed on, thrown and landed a better % of punches and still lost... she literally couldn't have done more.

For sure a contentious decision

 

Thought Taylor won a close fight. But it was a proper slugfest in there and American commentators acting like it was a robbery...

 

Taylor with the machine gun fists as usual.

Warriors the pair of them!

 

Everytime Taylor threw a punch close up, Soreno walked forward and their heads connected. Never the "headbutts" they were making out to be.

 

Kate Abdo (scott) putting on the yank accent is cringe as * man.

 

Don't think I've ever wanted Tyson to win a fight so bad before

 

Blind hope kills you man.

It's * clear as day Tyson is already gassed and dead on his feet.

This fight over in the next round surely

 

I don't think it's even just his gas tank. After 30 seconds it seems like his legs have just gave up.
