Has he still got it in him at 58 to send Jake Paul's head into orbit?...the likes of Paul have ruined boxing for me..60 million in the bank and all for fighting nobodies..

Us oldies.We never lose our dig,just our speed,right?

Really hope Tyson wins but Paul has a massive fitness advantage, although Tyson looks unbelievably fit for his age. It could depend if Paul goes for a knockout as he could get caught early on. The longer it goes on you’ve got to think the much younger guy will win.
It’s a disgrace the fight is above Serrano v Taylor but overall there has been a big surge in boxing interest amongst younger people, which on balance helps the sport.

Agree..I wouldn't want to see him in a ring after this one though...I just hope he can make" Everybody's got a plan till they get punched in the teeth" work for him....Anyway it should be better than reading about Tommy Fury's love life ,eh.

im sure there is a long list of rules that basically make this a glorified sparring match

Well the padded suits and inflatable mitten boxing gloves give the game away. :laugh:

just makes the sport something like a fairground boxing booth when somebody near pension age is allowed to make money out of it. if ever anything is put into disrepute its fights like this that never happened in the distant past when i watched them.

Paul turns up for the pre- fight conference wearing diamond studded ear guards. :laugh:

Well that was as disappointing as widely feared. Was never anything resembling a matchup. Hope Tyson never tries anything like that again but FairPlay to him for getting for at 58, especially after recent health issues. Respect of simpers to Paul for going easy in the last few rounds.
The women’s fight however… what a scrap!

I was only going to watch it if Tyson won. Might watch the women's fight...apparently it was a proper scrap.
