Actually I'm someone you don't want to fuck with.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Yeah, Jake could have probably ended this in round 2. They let it run through for dramatic effect and milking their paychecks.
 
I'm never watching a YouTuber boxing match ever again. Thank god I didn't pay for this lmao
This was an ad for actual boxing, much like other youtuber boxing events. To be honest though I have never looked up the numbers to know if part of the viewership actually moves over to see the authentic stuff.

As someone who doesn't watch boxing but watched this, I absolutely won't be moving over to watch regular boxing lol.


Fight was pretty lame but I'm glad that Mike didn't get knocked out, rigged as it was.

I what world does Canelo come up to 200 pounds to fight this guy? He is 5' 7" for God's sake.

I’d say these events do more harm than good if their goal is to pull in a new audience.
 
I think Paul was smart to let Iron Mike off, imagine how bad it would have looked for a 27 year old man to KO a 58 year old man

Now Iron Mike can finally go back to his peaceful retirement having had one more night in the ring

Paul should find some real dudes to fight someday
 
Utterly shit fight. That being said, crazy how many people were watching it. I was on my way to meet a friend for drinks and then n the bus, walking through the city all I could hear were the bells ringing from the ring. Crazy stuff

Same lol. I had someone react to watching deadpool 2 for the first time in the background and that was more entertaining.

Jake has fought at 185 before and Canelo walks around at about 180, so maybe it's possible. I dunno, I just want to see this guy get wrecked by an actual boxer.

I felt like Tyson was holding out. I was expecting a rush down of Barlog type punches and a barrage of jabs. This was boxing as a sport and not some death match.

58 isn’t old, but it sure isn’t 27. When people pass in their 60’s, they say they died too young. I think people who are 58 wish they were in that great of shape. Tyson really has a persona around him even though he plays by the rules.

Maybe half-rigged I guess? I actually don't think that was necessarily fully rigged. It was very clear what happened.

Tyson was clearly gassed out within 3 rounds and instead of taking advantage of this, Jake decided to just take it a bit easy but not make it look too much like he was. I don't think first half of what happened was planned by anyone so Jake adapted regardless.

If this were fully rigged they both would have played around purposefully for 8 rounds throwing light jabs and hooks (which I've seen before in a celebrity match). Tyson clearly swung hard in the first 2 rounds and tired out fast.

It's the best outcome for Paul who turned a no-win situation of the fight into "well, that outcome was expected but at least he showed mercy on Mike".

I hear you but at the same time when you step in ring, you consent getting the shit kicked out of you.
