Tyson vs. Paul Disc. Thread

I suspect it was his knee. Watch some videos on the peek-a-boo style that Tyson employs. You HAVE to be able to drop low very fast and use very quick footwork to close the gap and then use power punches. It is an incredibly hard style to fight against because they’re like a rabbit, bouncing around and slamming you nonstop, chasing you around the ring where you can’t get a moment to think.

Without that, all you’d have to do is keep jabbing and keeping your distance, like Paul did. I suspect they had a no-knockout clause in Tyson’s contract and with his knee hurting, he couldn’t get in close, and Paul played it safe. Didn’t want to be known as the man who beat up an aging legend showing his age.

See this video (jump to around 1:19 for a small demo of what I mean): https://youtu.be/TmJJK7Ac4Fk?si=gu-aJ-pLSSglQ8WV

Btw, I rewatched the fight and couldn’t help but notice many instances where Mike could seriously go all in if he wanted to, but it seems he deliberately didn’t. He was nowhere close to the footwork in the video you sent and it doesn’t seem like much age difference between the two clips.

Idk I am kind of inclined to believe Tyson did it for the greens.

I saw it today. I felt for Tyson struggling to breathe. I am not 60 but it seems I’ll get there one day.

Even not being sixty I know that at my age 3 flights of stairs draws more than it used to.

Respect to both guys for harnessing the power of the meme.

with Saint and fire perfecting that hair regrowth module Jake wont have to worry about his hat. I could also use it.

Another successful venture memed into reality.

Yep, he was 55 in the video I sent. It was his knee. Roy Jones kept calling it out as well. He couldn’t do the quick steps required by his style and had no mobility. At that point, Paul just has to dance around the edges and use jabs to keep Tyson at bay. If his knee wasn’t hurting, we might’ve seen a different fight.

Either one of those would be fine.

This was trash imo. I don’t care if it was hype or not. I’m totally down with hype and promotion in boxing matches with skilled fighters who have put in a lot of work. But not Paul, I have no respect for him because he cut the line and wants all the attention. I have no doubt some ams could rock him and teach him a lesson.

Also I just read they used 14 oz instead of 10 oz gloves. Interesting.

Sadly, @SaintSovereign was right on point with calling out the fakeness. It seems like the whole thing indeed was scripted - there’s even a supposed fight script circulating online.

The fight itself was just… sad. Let’s say we analyzed the fight without the possibility of a script - Tyson was simply too old, Paul was sloppy.

@Evolver eah I do. It’s been really helpful for improving my marketing skills as I help market for a small business. It has a bunch of small courses/ videos and they provide great AI prompts for creating content and ideas quickly. It’s one of them apply what they teach and get results fast. Part of it is course creation as an online income sources like sell what you know, provide a solution to one problem and sell it cheaply via video or PDF and AI does most of it for you. Highly efficient process. Teach Facebook ads too. I only pay for the ‘vault’ which just has all the resources/ e learning.

His presentation in the videos always cracks me up.

Thanks back.

I know Tyson fairly well. But not Paul. I don’t really understand him. So, I was just sharing feelings. But I learned from what Saint and others said.

As i watched it with my friends. I could not help but wonder what clown world we must be living in. That the entire crowd is only there because they could say they were there. The entire thing is a huge L for mankind to say the least.

I think the Jones and Chandler fights at UFC were much better.

Maybe it’s just sanguine but I’m not sure why everyone shits on this fight so much. Forget Jake Paul. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was Tyson’s heart and courage, especially at that stage in his life. People acting like Jake took advantage of a 60 year old but Tyson knew exactly what he was doing, he’s not got dementia, maybe some CTE. I think it’s disrespectful that people were sickened by ‘watching a 60 year old get beat up’. He wasn’t exactly a bent over, crippled wrinkly man besides a knee injury, chill :rofl:
