That was fucking pathetic

[NorthLoop 14,120]

I'm fucking laughing at anyone who spent any money on this

[elfenix 34,193]

Kinda lame. Feels like Paul wins on the points. Glad I didn't pay for this.

It’s free. That doesn’t mean it’s anything other than terrible boxing. Sorry you have terrible taste in basically everything.

Boos raining down now.

No one gives a fuck about boxing dude. If you want people to tune in it has to be celebrity style. And this is the product you get.

UFC is so, so much better. 

[Hermanator 6,971]

Just is so embarrassing. It's obviously a work. To the point even Rosie is pointing it out. 

[cabowabo 4,468]

Jack Paul should be ashamed that he couldn't knock him out.

[Firemans4Horn 17,903]

Paul had an open left hook and went about 40% effort. I’m thinking he doesn’t want to embarrass the old man. 

[Dennis Taylor 18,725]

Well us old guys will always have Big George Foreman 

[AbeFroman 2,136]

We saw 2 great fights tonight. Outstanding fights.

And then this nonsense.

[Michael Knight 12,908]

UFC is dogshit compare to real boxing, but theres no such thing as real boxing anymore

[tx 3 putt 76,498]

huge draw 

[HRSchenker 2,259]

FUCKING BULLSHIT 

[Horn80 6,081]

Those women boxers made the night.

Neither is going for a KO actually

Then why are you watching boxing? Just shut the fuck up. You’re a fucking moron

Clearly you haven’t watched the heavyweight division in like 10 years 

Why? Joshua, Fury, Klittschko, and even Usyk are not really a major cut above the rest of the big boys in the last decade.  They are lacking that true mix of power and technical ability that used to be the hallmark of the heavyweight division.

 

[Surly Bevo 24,717]

When’s the next Hangover movie coming out.

[BurntOrange&White 39,717]

Well at least it wasn't PPV

Wasn't in the contract.

Of course.

Good boxing matches aren't even good anymore. 

UFC has desensitized us. It's such a better sport and product. 

The heavyweights were long done before UFC.  It was so bad Foreman came back and did damage. What I don't like about UFC is that you'll never have the longevity of a fighter like we did in boxing.  

Edit: Actually, the quality of fights in boxing weren't always that good.

the most exciting part of the night was Tyson's ass

This is true and not. We literally have the most competitive heavyweight division in quite some time plus real stars in the lower divisions like Canelo and Crawford.

Because this isn't professional boxing. It's a pop-culture exhibition. Anyone tuning in then bitching about the quality of "boxing" is a clown.

You think Usyk and Fury are lacking? Ok then…

I like both a lot and I don’t know how you can say that after we got Ramos-Barrios tonight.  That might have been the best sporting event I’ve seen this year. 

[Hermanator 6,971]

They both should have mixed in some of that Lance Armstrong endurance drug with their roids.

So untrue. You have dudes in their late 30s still taking events and showing out in UFC.

Then why have boxing match? Sorry people expect boxing in boxing matches. Anyone defending this is a clown and should stick to WWE.

Serrano/Taylor was good, too.

I feel like people will unfairly judge boxing based on this dogshit title card.

[Laxtonto 11,949]

I think I am going to pull up the ESPN+ undercard of Davis Lemos and watch that now... this was horrible. Best fight of the night was the female title bout..

This is shit boxing, but the number of people tuning in just shows how well good boxing could actually still do...

The product has been shit in the heavyweight division for a while.

The only reason 95% of the people watching this is because it’s Mike Tyson. 

[Mdhorn 5,915]

People actually paid to watch this in person...and some from the top.  WTF, why?  

[Tailgate 3,019]

Like watching a bad high school play

[CTC2 2,754]

Kind of a metaphor for my life. Ain’t what I used to be.

Muhammad Ali is the GOAT not Tyson.

That was the joke--that Paul was going to dig up Ali for a fight so he could claim he beat the best ever.
