I had to re-evaluate the fight after this tweet; I had no idea that he nearly died, lost 25 lbs, have to have 8 transfusions. Now I don't believe its a work, I think he is just not recovered. Or rather, it may still be a work but only to get through the fight because he wasn't ready to fight and may never will be. He just couldn't fight a real fight, by the time he could he would be nearly 60 and Jake got to do a face turn by taking it easy on him. Easy money for everyone; also explains why his legs were dead after round 1.
Yeah, at his age I don't think you can really come back to 100% after something like that. He still looked good, but it's obvious his stamina wasn't there. It makes it more impressive he went all the rounds, even if they were only 2 minutes.

Yeah it looks like the work was both of them holding back. Tyson the first 2 and Jake the rest.

Then again what can Tyson do if Jake is gonna run/hug until he’s out of juice.

Mike Perry vs Jake Paul is a good example of what 100% throttle looks like for people struggling to see it. Then you can watch the Diaz fight to see what Jake Paul at 15% looks like.

The contrast should be able to clue even the biggest idiot in.

Ya, Rosie Perez as one of the commentators? Whole thing was a clown show start to finish that accidentally had a great fight there in middle.
Call me crazy, but I didn't hate her commentary. I don't recall her saying anything blatantly stupid or interjecting obnoxiously, which is pretty much the bar I have for someone doing color. For being in her 60s, she looks pretty good too. Stream was shit for me on the undercard, but I had to switch to my phone for the main event when my kid woke up and it was surprisingly solid.

Brutal fight. Perry went home with the most brain damage I've seen occur in a ring in a very long time. He's known as one of the toughest hard-nosed strikers in bare-knuckle boxing, and it was really something to see how much damage Jake put on him-- especially at the end.

The Mike Perry/Tommy Fury Jake Paul versus a 15 year de-aged to 43 years old Mike Tyson would have been a barn burner. This fight was a never-was and we'll never know. Jake couldn't even buy a pack of cigarettes if the fight took place 15 years ago.

Well, she appeared to either be reading off of cue cards or was just given lines to say moments before. Didn't you notice her stuttering and stammering between fights? I'm not sure she knows anything about boxing.

As Tyson's new manager, I'm going to advise him to only do 3 round fights in the future. Butterbean proved there's interest in that. He may never be a PPV headliner again, but he could certainly spice up a dull card.

Stayed up until 130am for the Tyson exhibition and was so tired last night I fell asleep at 9 and missed UFC 309. Sad times.

Well it's almost impossible for a man to catch aids from vaginas. Unless you're doing butt stuff where there is skin tearing and blood involved it's extremely low chance.

I'm shocked a whore monger like him doesn't know that.

I'm finally getting around to watching the Tyson fight.


I know everyone says the first fight was boring, but I like goyats style. I liked it when roy Jones jr did it too. Does anyone know if he's a typical vegan Indian? Maybe he has power to knock out other vegans. Maybe not, I noticed the captioning of the corner man said [speaks Punjabi]. Most of them do eat meat, but I thought they were also mostly sikh.

Lol at Rosie apparently being the queen of boxing because in her first movie she shadow boxes.

Girl fight was a great fight. The headbutt thing seemed like bullshit. Seemed like Katie was getting the call because shes shorter but they were both forehead bumping. It was a good enough fight that I only saw a few rounds that had a clear winner. The unanimous decision surprised me.

Absolute perfect positioning of those glitter tits on the ring girls. All night long. They just needed them behind the announcers when they were yammering between fights
