      It was an overly hyped fight, with months of build up. When the time came, it was underwhelming, boring, and obviously just a show. It was not a competative endevour, but two big names trying to play at boxing without hurting the old man.

      Tyson kept biting his glove, which people are saying was a code between the two fighters for Paul to take it easier on Tyson.

        I have no idea why people were hyped anyway. These influencer vs. retired pro fights all go the same way.

        I see who won though and besides Tyson I have no clue who the other guy is. He a big name? I don’t follow boxing.

            Holy shit he is the brother of the dude who went into Japanese suicide forest and showed a dead body. Man I hope he had better luck not getting the psycho-genes his brother got… the glee in that voice was unsettling.

              I don’t know either one well enough to tell them apart. The whole event was just to get new audiences into boxing, but the scripted feel of the fight is sure to upset long standing fans.
