The Boxing thread

I mean I dislike Jake Paul as much as the next guy but I'm not sure I dislike him enough to cheer on a convicted rapist

Definitely staged for a Tyson win. His leg keeps getting better.

So far we had … it’s going to be staged for a Paul knockout and staged for a Tyson win in the last few pages. Perhaps it was never staged and just a standard shite fight between a YouTube bloke and a former boxer.

As opposed to OJ Simpson?

I haven’t experienced an anticlimax like that since I lost my virginity

 

[BlueHammer85]

Completely agree. And it is important that football remains strong as a sport, as Middle East, Far East and North America seem to treat sport as entertainment. We cannot let it be consumed.

YouTube and social media is taking over sadly .

Next fight will be on X - Speed v Floyd Mayweather or some shit

Aye, a rapist who served his time versus a rapist who got away with it. Decisions, decisions.

All it needed was widow twanky ffs.

I was thinking about this earlier. Football remains popular worldwide. Even locally and globally. It always has an appeal and figures remain consistent.

Every lad at school knew boxers in the 90s and early 2000s. It's now become a complete joke. The bout of McGregor and Mayweather sort of signalled where all this shit is going.

The likes of Fury keep some people talking but all in all nobody can name 5 boxers these days.

The fact we got a 60 year old ex-boxer fighting some random YouTube sensation, for a bigger purse than most pro fights gets, show that this sport is in crisis.

Iron Mikse walked away with his integrity kind of abd he pocketed a bundle of cash, so I am goof with this.

He should stick to hot boxing, slightly less embarrassing than picking "fights" with youtube muppets.

You type like he sounds.

Sounds like this ‘fight’ was a load of scripted shite for the money.

Who saw that coming, eh.

Next week on Netflix: an obese pissed up Ricky Hatton fights Mark Goldbridge live in Piccadilly gardens.

Just watched it and it was an embarrassment. Tyson was like lame dog dragging his leg behind him and he couldn’t even move. Never mind 58, Tyson looked 78.

Turns out getting punched in the head for a living takes its toll, who’d have thunk it.

 

[yeseye]

Pfft they couldnt even get the lets get ready to rumble guy

They’re in Aussie mate..

If the circus around Paul v Tyson enabled Paul to pay Serrano and Taylor millions of pounds each, then last night was worth it.
2 girls put on a show and they were rewarded as they should be. I much prefer that than snakes like Hearn profiting.
The headline fight was a debacle really. But, the Serrano v Taylor fight was a classic, again.

If Paul is going to continue, he needs to fight someone like Bellew.

I hope Paul goes on to be a promoter, rather than carry on with the boxing. He can do a lot of good for the sport.

 

[leighton]

Katie Taylor should retire she has no more to prove. But she bet her purse on Tyson winning the silly goose. Her biggest pay day gone. I think if she fights Serrano again the money be there but who wants to see that again lol. It will be her last fight. Her carrer she will go into the boxing hall of fame as the greatest female boxer of all time.
