I actually saw this fight. I knew they'd rig it for Jake Paul just for the headline.... but I was hoping they'd be less obvious about it.
Mike Tyson basically just stood there doing nothing while Jake Paul tried to hug him, and while doing this "hug it out" routine wore himself out in the process...... Dude looked like he was melting into a puddle of sweat while Mike Tyson just kinda no-sold the farce.
I'm tired of the biggest douches in the world beating talented people in fixed fights...
I'm honestly surprised anyone thought it wouldn't go this way.
Anyone who knows how big of a piece of shit Jake Paul is knew this was going to happen.
Jake Paul is a piece of shit and so is his brother Logan.
Fuck this year is disappointing.
The dude is 58 and in better shape than the vast majority of people his age and he just made 20 millions.
He won
Please forget that I raped that woman as I collect my millions...

Now I can go back to never thinking about Jake Paul again.
Next week he's digging up Muhammad Ali for Disney+.
I saw hat flesh gits too!
Until he runs for office or Trump puts him in his cabinet.
Look, I don't believe in manifesting, but I still think we should be a little cautious
The last decade or so has really taught me to avoid saying the words "that will never happen."

There is a non-zero chance of this happening, unfortunately.

The only thing real in this conflict was the paychecks at the end.
And the buffering
Oh boy did we buffer.
We buffered like it was 1999.
You just reminded me of an awful joke my mom made many times about partying like it's 1999 which I'm sure you're referencing. Many times I asked her what our plans were and she would start singing that line in cringier and cringier ways that I groaned more and more as a kid, teenager, and adult. She passed unexpectedly a few years back.
All that to say, thanks for the rare reference I haven't heard since, and I internally groaned again. I hope you have people to groan about it like I do you cheeky devil.

Wish he'd fight young competitive boxers now. It's wild how much time catches up to a human.
He fought a young competitive boxer once and lost so awfully he never tried again. His career is entirely based on beating up geriatric boxers. He is not out there boxing sub 16 kids because they won't let him. He would definitely punch kids in the face if allowed to.

The main event really undercut the earlier fights.
Serrano vs Taylor was fucking amazing. Despite Taylor’s dirty moves, she couldn’t keep Serrano at bay for a single second. I can’t believe the judges robbed her of the win.
That fight was exceptional and the brow cut was so hard to watch. If the 3rd match wasn't there the whole thing would've been a waste of time as a casual watcher. 2nd match was good but wouldn't have pulled my attention by itself. 1st one seemed bush league.

Young rapist defeats old rapist in "which rapist can punch harder" contest.
Wasn't Mikey Boi found innocent?
No. He went to prison.

I thought it was cute all the people saying Mike was going to murder him. As a 45 year old boxer I am pretty exhausted after 3 minutes. 5 rounds later and I'm ready for a nice cup of tea in an armchair sitting by the window. Time catches up to us all.
