The Reason Tyson Really Won

You are so right about the women's fight. I thought Taylor should have suffered more deductions for those "accidental" head butts.

Agreed I wasn't planning on watching the women's fight. Was pissed it started crashing and buffering at the 4th round compelling me to desperately try & restore the feed. I wouldn't have tried if not for them.

yeah, they were bigger gloves...would be like having pillows on your hands.

It was fought like an exhibition for sure, despite the fact it being marketed as a regular boxing match. It was a bad idea for Tyson to get into the ring, he needs to let that part of his life go. Jake Paul got nothing out of this, fighting a man that age no matter who they were. So he won, it was not impressive.

The whole thing was just a cash grab and whoever watched it live and paid to be in that arena hopefully regretted watching this joke of a match.

I meant his legs were slow. He moved stiffly. Some type of knee injury? It didn't help that Paul was making Tyson follow him around the ring for the first 2-rounds. Tyson was clearly exhausted and breathing heavily by the final matches.

Tyson's arms used to be much faster. Tyson did a semi-good job defending himself against any major damage and it looked like Paul was repeatedly trying to find a way in, but couldn't.

As someone who can relate to age-related injury, loss of energy and stamina, I don't believe he was faking it. Growing old just sux.

Too bad Tyson couldn't knock him out in the 1st round, but Paul kept running away likely trying to tire him out which worked.

i was thinking the same , the way he ducked was really top level like waouh so fast so agile , but the way he barely tried to land punches was so weak , very shady...

I believe boxing should have remained on commercial TV where all Americans could watch together instead of becoming a PPV event so this is the first boxing match I watched since the Mohammed Ali era thanks to a naughty youtuber who uploaded it.

Another topic of interest is the motive of showing Tyson's buttcheeks after the lockerroom interview. A classier interviewer would've cut the tape before he stood up. And what was the contraption he was wearing? And is it as uncomfortable as it looks?

True. Even I won since I always wanted to watch a Tyson fight and it finally happened - although not at his finest.

Also, Tyson just announced he almost died in June and had a major recovery to accomplish so that puts his overall health during the match in question.

I want a rematch.
