It played out just as it was written
It was a clown show, Jake is no boxer
Only suckers and losers would watch or care about that obscenity

Absolutely. So, what did you think?

That anyone who would watch it was a loser or sucker before going to bed before it started.

Given the streaming problems, quality of “boxing” and late start, probably true

Too many folks got excited by edited footage of focus mitt work.
7-10 seconds of him bulling forward on his trainer and banging the mitts looks cool. It's the kind of muscle memory drill you can do forever. But it tells you nothing about defensive reaction or even moving around the ring in general.
Knee brace, the arthritis that inevitably builds up in our joints, the vertebrae that compress over the decades and pinch nerve roots and reduce mobility....these can't be trained over. And they in fact limit your ability to train with volume, which is why we saw footage of him on a stationary bike instead of running. There was never a realistic chance for him to win.
Requiem For A Heavyweight
Tyson got a nice payday. Avoided serious damage.
A sad demise.
Yeah...agreed. It was sad.

If that were me, I’d be in an ice bath for a month. Kudos for the payday.
Someone needs to knock Jake Paul’s block off.
I stayed up and am sorry, it was horrible,
a good fighter would take out both, same night
kudos to Mike though for going 8 rounds albeit 2 minutes rounds
What did you expect, a 58 year old guy versus at best a crappy club fighter? Suckers.

I was reminded of me a couple times getting out of bed in the AM
Still though, impressive for a guy that age
I sadly thought I would see the economy of movement that was his most underappreciated
tool in his arsenal. Every one knew he had great power but seldom was his economy of movement pointed out. There was none last night, only losing balance(whether it was due to his knee or not) and complete lack of aggression which was his most intimidating part of his game. Very sad.
