Boxing The General Boxing Discussion Thread

No.
Sure the power may still be there, but the speed and movement is gone. That why Jones Jr kept talking about Tysons legs, he couldn’t get in a position to throw a decent punch and Paul wasn’t standing still.

He legs and balance were gone in his last 6-8 fights 20 odd years ago .
He was either a straight target or had zero balance .
Was never improving from then to now

Off topic, can I just say - **** this damn cheese/butter ad. Making it tricky to scroll and post.

Cheese angle is out of control
Power ads

Lmao at the people in here getting angry over what was never going to be a truly legit match, especially when it didn't even cost anything in PPV.

There's plenty of real boxing every weekend to sink your teeth into. Unsurprisingly though there does seem to be a correlation between those most angry and those who've never posted about any other fight in here.

If you choose to only tune in to celeb fights don't be surprised if you only see manufactured shows.

Middle paragraph is too hard.
Was an entertaining spectacle.
Glad Tyson got a pay day no Don King types mooching off him.

Looked like Tyson has gyno.

Entertaining, you gotta be kidding! Terrible commentary, all bad actors trying to make it seem real. Even the crowd knew they had been duped.

These non fights are so empty, futile. Just like Mayweather/McGreggor farce.

Tyson trained for months and hardly threw a punch, didn't throw 1 combo. Was more scripted than WWE. Jake could have knocked him out in later rounds also. Even on 1 leg Tyson could have thrown much more.

Jake is nothing. Will have zero cred when it is all over. He wouldn't even get top fights on the pro circuit, bums would end his career in a heartbeat.

Saw Tyson's career. Mike in his prime fighting for real would end Jake inside a minute.

Good luck Netflix in trying to sell the next farce, these exhibition matches have run their race IMO.

Was honestly surprised you could bet on it.
Not for the purists that's for sure.
Don't worry about Netfix,they gave it away for free and killed it.

lol

People have been saying that for years, and they have been wrong for years, and they'll continue to be wrong.

Righto

I remember as kid watching Ali fight the Japanese world karate champion. The karate guy wasn't allowed to kick so he spent the whole fight on his butt shuffling around the ring and using his feet to keep Ali at a distance so he couldn't punch him.

Close to as big a joke as what this was.

This was before my time but from memory in his biography I recall it saying the guy did a fair bit of kicking to ali's lower legs and buggered his knee?

They both were/are juiced to the eyeballs.

Jake Paul 28yo man covered in acne, lol please.
