The Taylor v Serrano fight is going to end up as tonight's highlight imo.

I didnt watch the girls fight, just cant. Ramos came back and damn near beat that other dude though. Down 6 rounds to zero, with a knockdown, before he floored dude in the 7th? If he could have kept that pressure on and landed a couple more straight right hands he might have pulled off the upset. Those are 2 tough dudes though. Props to both. Picking yourself up off the floor/mat takes heart. Both those dudes will be hurting tomorrow when the adrenaline and dopamine are gone but the swelling and broken bones remain.

Hope Mike takes this clowns head clean off his shoulders with a hook early. If Mike cant put him down in the first 3 or 4 rounds, hes probably toast. JP is smart and knows that...hes gonna run like a lil beeyatch and use his reach/jab to keep Mike off him IMO...as Tyson longsince said though " Everybodys got a plan til they get punched in the mouth." LETS GO

Fighting a guy 58 years old and he couldn't knock him out? He won the points, but couldn't beat Tyson.

Doesn't matter if Tyson is a living legend, Paul should have knocked him out in the 5th.

What did you think you were going to watch? Paul's thing isn't "I'm the best boxer on earth." It's create interesting fights that make you tune in. And he's good at that. There is a reason he is fighting old men.

Then he hasn't beat Tyson...

You can win on points all day long, but he wasn't trying to go for the knockout. I think he was afraid to get in close to Tyson.

If this is Hollyfield and Tyson on their prime and it's decided by points, that's different. This should have been over quickly.

This might be the worst sports take I've ever heard. He beat him. You don't have to win by knock out. That's not the sport

Sorry, but I grew up watching Mike Tyson annihilate opponents. You don't "beat" Tyson by points. You win, sure, but did he seem like a fighter that got beat?

I watched the fight later than yall so I wouldn't have to watch all the talking etc. Just finished up.
Im not sure either one of them tried to knock eachother out...definitely not after round 2 anyway. I think this was an exhibition like Tyson v Jones with a mostly predetermined outcome.

Does Mike wear dentures? He kept constantly messing with his mouthpiece. Maybe couldnt keep it in with only gums? Rich as he is, youd think he would have studs screwed into his jawbone like my grandparents got when they were old. The surgeries were no fun, but they both had a mouth full of permanently mounted perfect teeth for ~15k each. That mouthpiece stuff was weird, never seen it before.

Hope we don't see Mike boxing anymore. I am sure they made big money off this fight, time to ride off into the sunset.

The big winner of the night will likely be Amazon. I highly doubt that the NFL would sign a contract to stream two Christmas day games on a service that had never streamed a single live sports event without a test run of another live sporting event and a strong out-clause. Netflix was an absolute trainwreck tonight.
