Just noticed the Paul-Tyson fight tonight is at 4am apparently swerving that

I'm assuming Netflix will have it available in the morning, probably only watch mind if Tyson has knocked him out.
Will watch the Katie Taylor fight though.

Shouldn never have been sanctioned

Shouldn never have been sanctioned

Part of me thinks its only so they can find someone who will actually shut Jake Paul up, think he is in for a big shock if Tyson catches him properly.

My god, this pantomime boxing nonsense is cringeworthy.



The only entertainment about it is if Tyson doesn’t play ball and goes full on Tyson crazy, and Paul ends up like the bloke off Friends who thought he was gonna be a world champ

‘I didn’t really plan it’: what Ali told me when we rewatched The Rumble in the Jungle

Fifty years on from the famous fight in Zaire no athletic contest in history has inspired as much global joy as Muhammad Ali’s win over George Foreman

www.theguardian.com

What a night, or very early morning that was, jibbed in The Empire to watch it, and from the start was anxious for Ali’s well being, he was getting his shots in but taking plenty back especially when he rested on the ropes round after round. Then he started rallying at the thirty or so seconds of each round, I was thinking he’s got a chance here, then into the eighth round and after drawing George into him Ali was up,and ready getting George with a flurry of punches and Foreman didn’t know where he was and I was up and out of my seat screaming “ He’s xxxxxxx got him along with a few more and when George failed the count there was bedlam in the Empire and no artist who performed there ever got the kind of applause and rapture that Ali received that night/ early morning, pure joy from us boxing fans, pity he never heard it although he would have heard the audience at the actual fight and felt the happiness all round the world as the title belt went back to the man who had been denied it for political reasons.

I hope Tyson knocks his head off.

I hope Tyson knocks his head off.

Jake Paul is scripted to win, then they’ll announce a rematch.

It’s on Netflix and not ESPN for a reason.

Just money, mate. But Tyson has mental health issues and I wouldn’t trust him for a fuse to go pop if JP even attempts to go off script.

Staying up for this, will it be worth it..... probably not

Got Tyson in Round 2 for 13-1 on Paddy, obviously I’m hoping Iron Mike finishes it earlier, especially after Jake’s antics at the weigh in

Didn’t know this was sanctioned in Texas, explains a lot. Any boxing fan knows that Texas is a bad state for boxing and especially dodgy stuff going on there.

This Indian fella has clearly been told to take it easy here. That’s enough for me, won’t be able to watch anymore of this after seeing this.

Roy Jones Jr. is my childhood hero and greatest boxer I’ve seen but hearing him commentate on this is sad.
