OT Paul v Iron Mike
- Thread starter HerrosHeroes
- Start date
How on earth could Netflix not be prepared to handle this event? Just awful.
I don't know much about scoring boxing, but I was really surprised by that decision.
Was Jon Higgins scoring this fight? Serrano got jobbed. I hate this part of boxing. The champion is actively protected far too often.
But what a war huh? I'll look forward to Taylor Serrano 3.

Can’t believe I decided to stay up for a fight that is impossible to watch.
Top notch work Netflix. Top notch.

Feels like it, I have never seen one team escape so many 17-14 games being down all game and winning on the last drive. So many teams miss extra points or FG late. Go for 2 and lose or don’t go for 2 and get to OT. It’s insane.
Had to start at the beginning, fast forward, then play about 15 - 20 minutes behind to get it to play and play clear.
Dear lord the cut on that woman's eye

I absolutely love your signature, always cracks me up seeing Zipp and Kerry Rhodes like this.
If it was an actual fight where Mike was Trying to kill him FR then I’d be interested. I think he could take him still if it was real and Paul had the balls to really fight but he doesn’t. It’s just easy money for him.Mike is looking pretty ripped for 58 years old and if you follow him on Social Media and watch any of his training videos he is still pretty quick and hits like a mack truck for that age as well. Now is it enough to beat a man half his age? Maybe not but I will still watch.
He was partying all night and not training. If Tyson’s mentor had not died then he would have had the most legendary career ever IMO at least since Ali. Cus dying, Tyson being immature with no mentor, that snake Don King, and all that money were the only things that stopped that beast.
Welp, back to not loading.
Isn't Netflix supposed to pick up WWE and have two nfl games later on.
Lol good luck with that

Well… as someone who doesn’t necessarily follow boxing, and not really knowing much at all about Jake Paul… I’d like to see Mike Tyson fracture this guy’s skull.
Zero doubt that was rigged. Paul could have easily taken him out if he is really worth a crap.
That was awful, as expected. Paul will never try to be a real boxer because he can make all this money doing ******** fights.
BREAKING NEWS: Jake Paul calls out Jimmy Carter!
He fights old, washed, fighters. The only real young boxer he's faced Tommy Fury, Tyson's brother, beat his ***.

My take is that Paul could have hurt him but knew it was better for the spectacle.
He went easy on Mike.
Father time is truly undefeated.

I'm glad Jon Jones is back tomorrow. That's all I'm gonna say. (Even tho he needs to fight Aspinall after he beats a 43 years old Stipe)
Being 59 years old and knowing how my body has gone down hill since my early 50s, I knew the outcome of this before it started. Most everyone did. Mike was wobbly walking to the ring. He had to get himself prepared to walk the steps. He moved good for a 58 year old for the most part. He just does not have the reflexes or stamina to fight. Mike will be either in bed or a recliner for the next week. He will have issues walking and probably even raising his arms and I bet his hands will be hurting just to flex them. He made 20mil so maybe worth it for him. Plus for 1 more night he was the spectacle that he once was leading up to the fight. He KOed Netflix so he has that going for him. It goes to show you what George Foreman did in his 2nd go around was truly amazing for an old man.
Watched what I could since Netflix was a shitshow. The women's fight was entertaining as hell.
We don't get nights like this often where everyone is watching the same thing but while streaming is the future, we may not be fully there yet. I'll sound like I'm 70 here, but if this was on TNT tonight (as an example), there'd be no issues. At one point, over 4 million viewers were watching the stream link provided earlier. The demand is there for dumb, sideshow stuff like this occasionally. No excuse for a streamer like Netflix to crap the bed as they did tonight. That's a worry as live sports/big events continue the move to popular streaming services. This is why the Super Bowl will never be on something like Netflix lol.

Also, Netflix HAS to figure out the live streaming, they have WWE and NFL coming up, and NFL is NOT going to put up with that ****.
The harder part is all the attacks on a live stream event like this. I would guess tonight there were attempted attacks from Russia, China, Netherlands, middle east and probably the rest of the world. At any point the weakest link on an event like this will always be just that. Level 3 and the other back end haulers for this kind of service are always fighting a war. It is one of the things that needs to be a priority for our government moving forward as now most of our communications is reliant upon those backend haulers. We are talking, Phone, data, tv, 911, emergency services and so forth.
I have up on the live feed a few hours ago. Took a soak in the hot tub. Just watched a rerun of a few rounds. Youth won. Age hurt Tyson. For 59, he’s in phenomenal shape, but vs an in shape 27 y/o, no contest.
I kinda wonder if this was a stress test for Netflix. Big hype and crowd, find where the weak spots are before NFL.

Two Christmas Day games on Netflix. While I’m sure the viewership won’t be as high as for the fight they still had better get their stuff together, it’s the NFL.
Jake Paul really took his pranks to the next level.
I don't know what some of you expected. Now maybe you just tuned in to see the spectacle, which I get. But the fight wasn't airing until midnight for me. I wasn't staying up to watch that garbage.
So many people on social media are surprised today, and some are even setting them selves up for the next fight with statements down playing Mike Tyson "well he's old" and "he wasnt good at the end of his career".. don't do this to yourself.

I was wrong. I thought Tyson would look better than he did based on all his training videos, and maybe if he had asserted himself more like he did the first round he could have got some meaningful punches in but otherwise I can’t believe I stayed up for that spectacle.
