Boxing: All boxing discussion

Hard to envision a worse main event. Netflix didn't even work, and for those that it did work it was horrendous by the sounds of it.

If Netflix is this bad on Christmas and I can't wait the Chiefs game I'm going most likely cancel the service. Plenty of other streaming services out there.

Why are people surprised by how badly this went? I only checked in for a couple of rounds out of morbid curiosity to see how Tyson looked. You couldn't reasonably expect this to be a good fight, or to be completely on the level from a sporting perspective.

The women’s fight was worth the time

I'd feel a lot worse if I had paid 50-70 bucks for it on ppv, it was the first boxing I've watched in 20-25 years probably, and I was mostly entertained, at least when the feed worked

I should have watched my Caps beat up The Avalanche instead of that elder abuse, last night.

At least Rosie Perez still has it.

Oldheads really thought Tyson had a shot

I tried telling my friends and no believed me because of a few Tyson workout videos.

You can lose up to 6 ms of reaction time a decade. There’s no way for a near 60 to compete with someone in their 20s.

Of course revisionist history is a major problem in our society as a whole, but I can’t get over how many people I’ve heard saying that Tyson held back in the early rounds to get more money. People just can’t accept what they see anymore.

I’ve watched a lot of boxing, definitely more than the average person, probably like anyone else in this thread specifically about boxing. Tyson looked shot. His legs were terrible, he looked winded in the first round, he tried to get a little bounce in his legs, but couldn’t maintain it for more than a few seconds. He looked shaky on most every decent punch he took.
