4-5 months ago I watched this Mike Tyson fight vs Danny Williams from 2004
This was Mike on his decline, I knew there was no way Mike could beat a strong kid like Jake Paul.
I didn't watch the fight, I didn't want to see Mike get knocked out.
I give Jake Paul his props, he put about 20 Million in Mike's pocket and didn't knock Mike out when a lot of folks thought he could.
Time Stamped
I still dont care for Jake Paul, but this could be Mike's last big payday. It's like Mike made all of these people money back in the 80s and 90s. It's about time someone looked out for him. It's not like boxing is really lucrative like that these days so to Jake Paul he goes. Jake knows that there are many pro (and amateur fighters for that matter) that can drop him, but he can control the narrative because he knows his worth. He knows that he goes out to fight a Canelo that he will be bringing eyeballs so he can control who gets paid what. It's an interesting case study on what boxing and even MMA could be if all the fighters were treated fairly. As far as the boxing goes, perhaps it was agreed to before hand that Jake would not embarass Tyson or knock him out. If you remember, Tyson got pissed at Larry Holmes because he knocked out Muhammad Ali when he was way past his prime. Now this was a different time, but Ali was Tyson's hero so he came in and destroyed Holmes. Look at what you just said "Props to Jake..." I think Paul gained more respect that anything that not finishing him off. I think it was a win-win for Jake.If it was rigged, this isn't evidence of that...everybody looks like a killer when punches aint being thrown back
Assuming it wasn't rigged, I thought Mike had one or two good rounds in him and that maybe Jake Paul would have been surprised and reacted badly and maybe Mike could have landed something
When I saw Mike come out of that car when he arrived on site, I was like come on man Mike doesn't even look like a sprightly 58 year old...and when they revealed the ring was gonna be extra big it killed any little chance Mike had
Props to Jake for sparing him, but he is a bitch for even needing that big ass ring and Mike crazy for agreeing to it...both Jake and Mike hustled their way to millions
I wonder who is out there for Jake to fight where he could still get millions without getting destroyed...would people still accept him fighting another grandfather?

I still say this fight was better than the Logan Paul - Mayweather fight. Jake wasn't having to hold up Tyson.If you saw the fight than you saw Tyson just basically stand still or walk slowly around and throw like 8 punches.. Jake throw 20 pitty pat punches.. nothing about this says jake Paul was able to destroy Mike… it was a fast dog running around in circles vs an elephant and touching it with its paw a few times..the end
Actually Mike went full beastmode with the I’m just here so I won’t get fined.. he clearly didn’t give a fuck about that fight and his responses within 24 hrs of that match explained it all.. he trolled that fight and gave that white boy nothing to impress the crowd.. this was a dive but Tyson put zero energy in it and made the audience in the crowd and the viewers at home pissed off at that spectacle.. people are already saying fix and are really doubting this cacs portfolio now.. if anything this really hurts this cacs brand and future revenue. Will anybody really pay to see him fight again is a company like Netflix really willing to give him money again for his fights… this dive left a bad taste in peoples mouth and I think Tyson did this purposely.. like oh you want to embarrass the sport that made people like me legends with your fixed matches well let me join you and give you the most boring fight ever so people will dislike this corny shit.. the real winner was Mike, took that cacs money, made people question this cacs whole exhibition and now having mad people saying Tyson took a dive
Nobody thinks Jake Paul could’ve knocked him out..like I said fast dog running around an elephant… everybody know if a dog went straight up to an elephant he would’ve got destroyed… it’s clear as day Tyson was holding back and Jake was scared and throwing pitty pat punches.. this fight was supposed to give Jake credibility and make him look like a legitimate fighter.. this fight did none of that and made it obvious his matches are fixed.. like I been said on here it was gonna go the distance cause the fix was in and I thought it was gonna be a draw to make Paul look good, Tyson said fuck that and gave zero energy and didn’t give him a boxer co-sign.. nobody cares about this cac matches right about now.. he’s not gonna fight a legitimate fighter cause he would lose and the biggest name he had decided to do nothing.. it’s overWhile all this may be true....Jake paul could have knocked him out if he wanted to. Whoever Jake Paul fights next will not be an old man and it may be a legitimate fighter. After Mike, I dont think there are any retired/older fighters that will want to get in the ring and just dance. Looking at Lennox Lewis last night, that dude looks like he could get in about 2 or 3 good rounds and could knock Jake out.

Dude, you can't be serious. Jake CLEARLY didn't want to knock Mike out. Stop it!Nobody thinks Jake Paul could’ve knocked him out..like I said fast dog running around an elephant… everybody know if a dog went straight up to an elephant he would’ve got destroyed… it’s clear as day Tyson was holding back and Jake was scared and throwing pitty pat punches.. this fight was supposed to give Jake credibility and make him look like a legitimate fighter.. this fight did none of that and made it obvious his matches are fixed.. like I been said on here it was gonna go the distance cause the fix was in and I thought it was gonna be a draw to make Paul look good, Tyson said fuck that and gave zero energy and didn’t give him a boxer co-sign.. nobody cares about this cac matches right about now.. he’s not gonna fight a legitimate fighter cause he would lose and the biggest name he had decided to do nothing.. it’s over

I'll take your word for it, I was just repeating what others were saying.If you saw the fight than you saw Tyson just basically stand still or walk slowly around and throw like 8 punches.. Jake throw 20 pitty pat punches.. nothing about this says jake Paul was able to destroy Mike… it was a fast dog running around in circles vs an elephant and touching it with its paw a few times..the end
What fuckin channel was he watching
Ok now that the circus is over...
Dont Jon Jones fight tonight??
That's about right.I'll take your word for it, I was just repeating what others were saying.
I was just listening to Sam Mitchell on Sirius NBA Weekend.
Sam said neither fighter was really doing anything but running around. (he said it in a joking manner).
I'm honestly surprised how many of you where delusional enough to think a 60 year old man could still box, This Ain't the movies.
The entertainer?I dont like cedric as a commentator..I dont like that all all!
Aren’t you the same guy that was going for wilder in his last 2 fights and I told you fury gonna knock his ass out both times, which he did, you swore the god wilder was so great and unstoppable and now we seen what happened.. so you the last person who pov I would listen to.. in fact I say you going against me reassure me of what I said about this fight. Thanks for confirming itWhat fuckin channel was he watching
Ya clearly think Paul is nice cause he knocked out a midget with kidney problems… ya think cause he knocked out Nate Robinson he’s a legit fighter.. think his pitty pat punches were hurting Mike… being that Mike had mad restrictions going into this fight why would you need to install them if Paul is so nice? Telling an elephant he can’t use his trunk, weight, feet, or power to fight a dog, but than says the dog took pity seems more like an oxymoron than anything.. but I’ll let you believe Paul is such a great fighter.. it’s unfortunate pee wee Herman passed away cause I’m pretty sure Jake would’ve challenged him next, we know pee wee is legitimate especially when he rides his bikeDude, you can't be serious. Jake CLEARLY didn't want to knock Mike out. Stop it!

Yeah and you saw Jake Paul put on the greatest technical fight ever last night… he was consistently hitting Tyson with a great jab and a shitload of combos, he unleashed his arsenal last night and out of respect he didn’t finish Tyson off.. it was a massacre otherwise.. greatest punching display ever… that’s what you saw last night right! Tyson was in trouble as soon as the bell rung right? He was going to t to toe with him all night right?Hell yea,
Wilder was the man before he got with that succubus,
and refused to hire a REAL trainer... How you NOT a natural boxer,
and refuse to get a REAL trainer... but what does that have to do
with you thinking, Paul wasn't showing mercy tonight??
I know I know, you not fighter you a lover....
lover boy over here, just seeing shit that's not there...
Tysons legs are GONE bruh.. OLD Tyson would've fuckin
used them legs to weave, slide, two to the body, and lift that head
back up when it leans into the punch... he might have a little juice, outside the ring,
but IN THE RING The Legend that Is Tyson seen better days. James Toney would've put up
a much more interesting fight....because he don't rely on his legs like tyson, but both cannot
fight a well trained youthful fighter, with leg power.
But don't let me stop your narrative.. if that's what you saw, then its what you saw...
lil stevie wonder
did he mean 5 sets of 12? I'd understand that..
but if he said 60 reps straight?...that nigga full of shit
My max reps on 225 was 71 back in my 20s. I'm a little older now, so I wouldn't shoot for much more than 50 reps. Being too aggressive can easily get you injured.
Good thread, OP.
