Tyson vs Paul tonight on Netflix

[CG]

Anybody watching? Its free on Netflix tonight so we'll watch it here.

I haven't really watched much boxing since Tyson was in his heyday. We had one of those ridiculously large giant box TV sets, remember the ones that if you viewed from too far on the side the picture would be really bad. Had some family and friends that would come over and put a little money in the kitty to help with the Pay Per View costs.

I know nothing about the Paul kid. I dont follow any of the internet type famous folks. It looks like Tyson is serious about training so possibly a good fight?

[Ziegelsteinfaust]

Paul is a seriously good amateur level boxer, and by the looks of things trains hard.

Tyson was a power house in his day all while giving up several inches to his opponents. Tyson is training like his life depends on it. He is a man near 60 years old with a body that makes 20 somethings jelly. His moves look on point, and the way he slapped Paul for an insult before Paul could react.

Tyson never was a classical boxer. Say like Holyfield. Who could push hard, and then relax to go the distance. Tyson has issues the longer the match goes on especially past the 5th maybe 7th round . Paul has never fought a man who plays the game like one 3 minute one and done round.

So Paul while a good boxer won't have the skill to keep Tyson off him, and once Tyson breaks your defense down. You better have a ton of skill to get him off.

So I am secretly hoping they don't stop the match, and Tyson is unleashed.

It'll be interesting for sure, I'm rooting for Tyson, need to put the kid back in his place. The rules for the fight are a little different than typical boxing rules.

Fighters will wear 14-ounce gloves as opposed to the standard 10-ounce gloves.
Each round will last two minutes as opposed to the usual three.
The fight will be eight rounds as opposed to the typical 10 or 12.

Not Interested.

I wouldn't pay for it, but since it's free I may watch with my wife. When Tyson was in his hay day we used to have parties when Tyson fought. My wife does not like boxing at all. The fights were over so violently and quickly that she didn't mind.
It's probably fixed, this kid really knows how to make $$

No issues watching here. First two fights weren't great, the third fight was two women. I figured it was going to be another yawner ... No, not a yawner it was a brawl! Headline fight is next, they said in 30 minutes. Hope my Netflix is still humming along

Stayed up to late to be so disappointed
Guess I was expecting to much out of Tyson
The two females , now that was worth watching

Didn’t have any issues with Netflix. I only watched it because it was free, as I would have been disappointed had I paid for it. The main event wasn’t much of an event at all, quite boring.

Now the girls fight, that was a fight! Pretty bad when a couple women put up a better fight than Paul & Tyson.

[Greg58]

Quite a letdown after all the hype!
Reminded me of when Geraldo Rivera opened Al Capone Vault in Chicago!
The last 2 lead up fights were awesome!!
