Mike look bad?

I mean, he can still throw a punch, but he just doesn't have the stamina and quickness to hang anymore. It's pretty bad. I think Jake is toying with him, or paying him enough respect. I think if Jake wanted to he could have floored him by now.

Round 7 done. It's gonna go the distance, and no one is getting knocked out. Jake is not gonna KO him out of respect. But he will win the decision easily. Tyson should have never done this. It has been sad so far.

Both avoided. Jake Paul withheld. I don't watch boxing, but it seemed like Mike simply didn't want to go down, and Jake wanted points without putting Tyson down.

Regardless... Netflix has likely never seen these numbers... so this kind of shenanigans will happen again.

Over. No way Paul doesn't win, but that was pretty disappointing. Not sure why anyone thought it would be different, but was truly hoping that Tyson would show more life and get some shots.

Heck, the women's main event made me a fan. I'd tune in to watch that carnage again.

About the only way Mike had a chance at winning this fight was if he could get a knockout in the first 30 seconds or so. Strength can hang around well into old age, but the stamina and quickness go.

I don’t think he looked bad by any stretch I think that’s what they agreed to. Make it appear to be legit but don’t hurt anyone.

100% BS and I’m disappointed Mike took that as a legit sanctioned fight.

It was what it was. Both were mostly just trying to not get hurt and held back from throwing bombs. Not sure how much more Tyson really had to give though at 58. As Roy Jones pointed out repeatedly, he looked wobbly from the 3rd round on. It was cool to see Tyson in great shape just for the nostalgia, but I kept telling my kids they just couldn’t possibly understand what an absolute machine Tyson was in the 80s and early 90s.

Oh no doubt if this was prime Tyson Jake would have been KOd early IMO.

It’s just hard for me to say it was a fight watching it live
