Tyson v Paul Fight

[amlove21]

I cannot believe Netflix even took this on.

There is no "win" here, for literally anyone, especially not Paul. Paul gets knocked out in round one? The boxing experiment is over. It goes to some decision or Paul gasses (huge problem with this) and Tyson takes a TKO win? Paul looks worse. Goes to TKO for Paul, or decision for Paul? EVEN WORSE. It took you *how long* to finish a 60 year old?

Let's say Paul does the unthinkable and knocks Tyson out- great, he's almost 60, and the boo birds come out in flocks to talk about how Paul is literally ruining boxing and hasn't fought a boxer etc etc etc.

I don't care about boxing as a sport or legit anything about the purists, but just from a fight perspective, this is a miss. And yes, I will be watching every second.

Hahaha for sure. I am 100% hate-watching this fight, and I will resolve my own cognitive dissonance, thank you very much!

I am just absolutely amped for UFC 309. Cant wait.

Tyson doesn’t know this, but he's not just fighting for himself. He's also fighting for all us old guys - old man strength - that like to think we still have it when we tangle it up with the younger guys.

Bro, as an aside, Tyson said (emotionally) that he is fighting to show his kids that while they might not know it, he "is special".

Uh, no thank you. I am out. I quit. Where is the bell? Cause no.

His son told him he wanted to be a fighter, Tyson said, "the hell you are. I did that so you don't have to."

I boxed in my early/mid-20s. I had conditioning and fitness. Now at (checking license...) 56, not so much. The call old man technique in BJJ 'old man jiu jitsu' for a reason. I blame it on stage 3 metastatic cancer, that's a pretty good scapegoat lol.

Tyson has already won the slapping contest

Vegas odds:

Paul win: -175
Tyson win: +180
Tie: +900

Iron Mike is still fast.

 

[AWP]

Too much money at stake for this to end in 30 seconds.

 

[RackMaster]

I put a little money on Iron Mike.

Too much money at stake for this to end in 30 seconds.

But I won't be disappointed if it does, just so long as Tyson is the one to end it.

Holy hell...this is the worst broadcast crew in the history of fighting/combat sports. Rosie Perez? Really? Evander Holyfield seems baked out of his mind and they're trying to cover for him. Awful.

Rosie Pérez used to give me wood yo!

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Rosie Perez has not said one word that matters. For the most part the other guys are ignoring her.

I’m starting to get major buffering, and I’m not running Wi-Fi, it’s a lan cable directly from the modem.

Same here. Saw this comment elsewhere:

"I don’t know how y’all are doing but the Netflix stream is fucking janky so far here. If I miss Tyson decapitating Paul because it freezes up during the fight I’m gonna be pissed."

Right on.

Netflix is not ready for live streaming a prime time sporting event.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Twitter for the win…

 

[Blizzard]

I think I'm watching in 480i resolution now.

They may be broadcasting via dial up.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

The one thing that amuses me about the buffering is that I can imagine Netflix executives worldwide experiencing genuine panic attacks as this is happening right before their eyes.
