Iron Mike Tyson v youtuber

[Tedx]

I have a (very) small wager at that price.

Fair to say that this is underwhelming. Tyson showing his age and Paul holding back.

Tyson goes the distance but lands less than 20 punches all fight.

What’s the point?

Money I guess but doesn’t make for a good spectacle.

Even at age 59, Tyson will pummel this guy within 3 rounds.

This is not a real boxing match. This is a staged event - also known as an exhibition boxing match. They are fighting 8 rounds of 2 minutes (not the usual 3 mins) with larger than normal gloves that clearly inflict less damage than the normal gloves.

At the end of Tyson's professional career (over 20 years ago), he was a completely a spent force - being flattened by second rate boxers.

This will probably last the distance - unless Tyson collapses of exhaustion - and the decision will be a draw.

Completely right. It was a con. A 20 second clip showing Tyson looking viscious fooled lots of people, me included, and 83% of the voters on the BBC website. Well Mike got his $15,000,000 - I just hope he remembers he'll have to pay tax on that.

I didn't realise it was on Netflix and that it was possible for me to watch.

I doubt that I would have anyway and by the sounds of things I didn't miss much.

I assumed it would be on YouTube.

One foot in the Grave boxing, still it's easy money really so why not. I wonder if Iron Mike might be joining these boards to see his tax and IHT options.

What a load of mince.

I'm glad I have free Netflix and I'm glad I didn't stay up with until 4am.

Tyson was shaky as hell on his legs and Paul just kept him at arms length.

Strictly has more engrossing confrontations.

Oh well. MotoGP now. Final race. Martin v Bagnaia. Bring it on.

In stark contrast to tonight’s fight between Benn and Eubank which was equal parts exciting and brutal.

Over 1,500 punches thrown in total. Wow.

I called the fight correctly but wasn’t convinced Eubank was going to win whilst watching the fight, even as it went to the judges.

Never thought I’d feel sorry for Benn but he looked broken in his Father’s arms after the fight. Still, as the TV pundits said, many will have new found respect for the younger man tonight and I wish him well.
