    As much as I’d love to watch Jake Paul having to spit out all of his stupid teeth, I’m not paying those people fucking money.

    Well this just about aged like fine milk. Far from beating Jake to a pulp, Tyson threw just 18 punches the entire fight. Though I suppose it’s inevitable when Tyson is more than double Jake’s age and he retired years ago

      Isn’t this what basically half of people expected to happen? It was an exhibition, not a fight.

        Oh, I’m not surprised at the outcome, I expected the almost 60 y/o man to lose to the under 30 y/o man, but was just surprised to see the stats on just how little Tyson actually did in the fight.

          I haven’t kept up with his stuff but according to some article I read, he’s been essentially crippled for a few years now? Like had to be in a wheelchair 2 years ago, then vomited so much blood at one point that the fight was pushed by 6 months… He’s not healthy for an 80 year old, much less 58.

    Love the meme but hate the sport. The whole thing revolves around two people hurting each other and causing brain damage in the process. That’s not entertaining to me, that’s horrifying.

      I wouldn’t worry because anybody that called this event “boxing” also hates the sport…

    Nah, Jake Paul getting facefisted is the only reason I’d watch this shit.

    But this has shenanigans written all over it, so I’m not gonna give it my attention.

    I’m here for both of those things. I only wish it was Mike Tyson in his prime so we could really see a total annihilation of this asswipe.

      It’s all scripted so it would turn out however they wrote it. Boxing is scripted and every altercation and weigh in fight/drama in boxing and UFC/MMA is set up and fake

        Yup, I had the same thought. The slap was just to generate hype. The fight was pretty tame. This was just a money making event.

        That dude legit scared me through the computer screen during his backyard brawling days. It scared me to know people like him existed. Did you see the fight where he burst a dude’s eye, and fucking blinded him?

          What’s even scarier is that he got absolutely rolled when it came to pros.

          You’re not wrong, dude was champ in the non pro arena, and as soon as he stepped in it was just as shocking with different winners.

            Absolutely! I remember going from “holy shit this guy is terrifying and we have video evidence of him being able to kick ass” to “what the fuck? These not-as-terrifying looking people are messing him up bad!”

    Most of us are not watching the fight because Netflix is sucking a big tube steak tonight. I haven’t seen this much buffering since dial up modems.

      Of course, I made the mistake of posting this exclusively on platforms where I hold the same opinions as everyone else.

      That’s a huge compliment coming from the hardest hitting boxer of his time. Foreman was a fucking beast in his era. The only reason Ali beat him is because Ali fought smart, and Foreman was the dope who got roped into it.
