The Boxing thread

[Dubai Blue]

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

Who saw that coming, eh.

It was so shit I can't see how it was possibly scripted. If it was, whoever wrote it needs sacking. Absolutely nothing of note happened.

Chuffed for Katie, I'll go back to watch that today. No interest in the main event. Hope Mike got paid very well.

Allegedly the YouTube fella got £31m and Tyson got half that.

I saw that Mike landed 18 shots in the whole fight. It is hard to imagine a scenario that is possible in, other than a fake one.

A lot of people will have made a lot of money for a well produced farce. We live in an age where people are so easily attracted by "celebrity". It's now a case of what you say that's important not what you do. Sad. I assume it was one of those "pay per view 'events'" as well?

Or a scenario where a 58 year old is barely capable of moving around a ring let alone throwing punches at the same time

Looked like he had landed 18 shots before he walked out to be fair.

One big sham. Another knock to the credibility of boxing.

To be fair mate it's not exactly a new thing that came up and bit us on the arse as a one off.

Taylor will have a major headache this morning. At least she won’t need to clean her gloves . Disgraceful

She channeled her inner Arsenal last night, employing dark arts.

I woke up at 03:56 to hear the cat fuck arsing about in a box and got himself stuck, the dumb ****.

I ripped out the old toilet and put in a new one, and I'd left the box on the landing.

Thought about the Tyson fight - only because the 8 year old mentioned it on Friday as she's never off fucking YouTube.

I went back to bed.

Don't ask me why, but that first sentence cracked me up.

I think the only scripted bit of it was Jake Paul could easily of smashed Tyson and probably hurt him badly and never really went for it. Makes me think there was an agreement he wouldn’t.

Paul was tactically running circles around him and really backing off yet was in control and landing the punches. Tyson kept his guard up and was trying to contain his energy.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I watched the first 3 rounds this morning when I got up, then turned it off. Utterly bizarre people can make good money from this.

 

[bluemoon32]

You had a guy who couldn't punch because he's either too old or was told not to & another guy who couldn't punch because he's too fucking shit

You're not aware of the old saying; "one born every minute"?

Best stick to the FPL fella!

A bit like the average Netflix tv show then.

There’s saving energy and saving energy, 18 punches in 8 rounds landed isn’t using up much is it?

Is there any real boxing on tonight?

Billham-Smith is fighting tonight, at least that will be competitive
