Forums - Sports Discussion - Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul, July 20th, Live on Netflix.

When I was a kid, the NES version of Mike Tyson could knock me out with one punch. That felt right to me. It felt like I was fighting the real Mike Tyson, because he was such a damn beast. Mike Tyson, in his prime, was arguably the best boxer who ever lived (maybe Muhammad Ali was better and that's it).

I don't know who's going to win, but I do know that Mike Tyson KOed a lot of professional heavy weight boxers in the first or second round, because they weren't prepared for how aggressive he was from the start. Jake Paul can get knocked out for the same reason.

It wasn't about how aggressive he was, it was about how fast his punches came. Their reaction interviews are always the same "I didn't see the punch".



Paul's boxing wins came against MMA fighters. Now, he's going to box a boxer, and I expect that boxer will obliterate him.

This assumes that Tyson is actually trying to win the fight and/or obliterate his opponent. The way Tyson is talking about this fight is different than I've ever seem him talk about a real opponent. So, I think there is a good chance that Tyson isn't taking it seriously.

Also, Tyson is a very smart marketer. He knows that people want to see a match that lasts more than a round or two. So, he may not attempt to knock Paul out immediately. That would mean he isn't fighting in his traditional way (going for the early KO), which would then make the whole match illegitimate.

Anyway, who knows? If Tyson KO's him in the first 3 rounds, people will think it was a legit match. Any other outcome will call the whole thing into question (and reasonably so, IMO).

Tyson must be getting a huge bag, cause why is this even a thing?

No doubt. Netflix is really trying to move into the live event sphere because of subscription trends lately, people subbing for a few months, then cancel and hop to another service. Live events will mitigate the issue, and Netflix is going to open the purse strings for that.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Man this is yet another reason I prefer Paramount Plus over Nextflix. Netflix is becoming crappy youtube by sponsoring this joke of a fight.

Happening now :)

Ranallo is leading commentary with Roy Jones Jr. and Rosie Perez.

Well, Goyat is fucking toying with the social media boxer Whindersson Nunes in the opening bout. He completely outclassed him.
Goyat humped Nunes in the corner, that was some funny shit :D (Rosie Perez didn't like it)
Nunes had that "Well I got my ass kicked" face on since the end of round one. He took the loss with class.

Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield present with commentary. Lewis very talkative, Holyfield quiet - but it seems his earpiece was broken.


Fight 2, Men's Welterweight Championship.
Barrios (C) and Ramos beat the shit out of each other for 12 rounds. Very bloody fight. Lots of great highlights in that one. Knockdowns, massive punches. Lots of action right through the championship fight. Both guys are much uglier at the end of the fight than the opening.
DRAW!

Fight 3, Women's Super Lightweight Championship
Taylor (C) vs Serrano. Oof! Serrano's eyebrow is coming right off. That looks so brutal. Blood everywhere. This fight is brutal. It's opening up more and more. This fight is crazy. Both have fucked up eyes.
That was a war.

Fight 4, Tyson vs Paul

shortened to 2 minute rounds (at Tyson's request).

Crowd almost completely in Tyson's favour at the opening. But Jake Paul dominated the third round. He's hitting harder and faster. Jake Paul dominated Mike Tyson for 6 of the 8 rounds.

Jake Paul wins the unanimous decision Jake Paul threw nearly triple the punches, landed over quadruple. Crowd is upset :D

The match was payed. Mike would have knocked him out in the first round easily.

He tried to knock Jake out early but couldn't. After the first round Tyson was pretty much out of gas



I lost all respect for mike tyson. Whole thing was a scam. I hope they both rot.
