It's classic heel pro wrestling tactics. If he makes us hate him and want to see him get knocked out, it's all the same to him. It's money in his pocket. Floyd did the same.

by adriana81 7 months ago

To be fair they didn't "make" us hate Paul, nobody has liked Paul for years now. It's a good marketing stunt.

by selmerjenkins 7 months ago

This is exactly what I've been saying! This felt like ric flair vs Shawn Michaels. The way the Paul brothers treat boxing is a bit disrespectful for the boxers that actually train and fight competitively. They only care about drawing money

by Anonymous 7 months ago

It's a hustle. Boxing has always had one foot into the freak show carni side. Celebrity boxing. Floyd fighting small Asian kickboxers. Ali fighting Antonio Inoki in a mixed rules bout. Boxing isn't some sacred sport. Where the money goes, boxing will go. The Paul Brothers are just the most recent example of this (along with all youtuber boxing.)

by adriana81 7 months ago

Yeah this actually reminds me a lot of the manny v Floyd fight people were dissapointed when it was all technical overly cautious fighting like this one was. Tyson didn't actually score that bad it just makes for a boring fight. Boxing has been all hype for a while now and it's usually not the aggro beat down people want.

Being 58 and taking hits to the head is a lot different than being 20 and doing the same thing. I think it was kinda obvious at a certain point that Jake wasnt gonna just go full 100% because Mike is just too old man lol Im ngl I think jake couldve really hurt him and lots of people are gonna have trouble admitting that.

by Anonymous 7 months ago

Honestly, I agree, and I came into the fight wanting Tyson to knock Jake's head off because he's an insufferable internet douche bag. To me it seemed like rounds 1 and 2 were Jake testing the waters to see how it would go. Then 3 and onward, when Mike's age started to show, he did what he could but didn't truly try because it was obvious Mike isn't what he used to be. Maybe that isn't what truly was going on but it's how I saw it. It would have been awesome to have a crazy fight but Mike didn't seem to have it in him after round 2.

I turned it off in round 3 when Paul got some hits in. It's not fun to see an old man get punched by a young man

by Wilsonparisian 7 months ago

It went about as well as it could once that became obvious. Jake never went nuts or even tried. He sort of did what he needed to do to not be overly disrespectful. He even bowed at the end of the final round when it was clear Mike had no real chance of winning.

This. And Mike was doing what he could do. He won 2 rounds. The first 2. He had to chase a bigger opponent in a bigger ring. He was gassed and his feet weren't moving. His legs were injured before the fight started, but MOSTLY HE'S 58 YEARS OLD! This isn't football and he's not Tom Brady. He doesn't have a team of young athletes in front of him protecting him and a coach drawing up plays that make sure he doesn't get hit. Its boxing. Mike lost all the fights after he slowed down. Its a young man's game.

by Anonymous 7 months ago

Yup. Decision is the worst thing ever. I get it. Maybe too many dudes got brain damage or something. But if I am watching a fight, I want a KO, TKO, or Forfeit. Having a fight judges by decision is the dumbest thing I have ever seen and I've always hated it. It's why I don't watch boxing and haven't since I was a kid. This was the first set of boxing matches I've watched in over 25 years. And it's also the last one I'll ever watch for the remainder of my life. I don't watch UFC either, but I'd absolutely choose it over boxing because people get KOed or tapout. I am unsure if UFC has "By Decision" victories too. But if so, that just isn't enjoyable for anyone.
