its crazy how he aged

What do you mean by that? (serious question). Are you saying it in that "he's aged well" or "he's aged poorly".

 

[Negan4Coach]

The second video shows him walking up to him like a gorilla.

You mean like this guy?

Are you still helping out in Western NC Negan? If so, thank you and anything you can share?

I feel like he aged kinda poorly.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I feel like he aged kinda poorly.

I'm guessing, but I suspect the first picture was probably when he was 19 or 20. The 2nd picture was when he was 58, so almost 40 years later.

Maybe a hard life of boxing and partying caused him to age a little worse than normal, but it doesn't seem too unreasonable to me.

It isn't but you can totally tell he took a LOT of beatings in the head. In fact I think he might be the best example of what that does to you.

I remember watching Tyson fight with my dad. He never missed the big fight nights.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

My favorite thing is when there's a big news story like this fight, all kinds of weird stories pop up in the perimeter because they're tangentially related. Because Tyson is in the headlines again, there was an article about how he used a fake wang and his wife's and his infant's urine to pass drug tests.

So think about that while watching the match.

IIRC he burst into the scene kind of pre-beaten, as it were.

Netflix was being cheeky with Tyson...

 

[tarheelhockey]

Netflix making an excellent case for why streaming services shouldn’t have the rights to big events.

Yeah, they really showed their ass. No, wait…that was someone else.

 

[DaveG]

yeah that was rigged as f***, sorry not sorry

Paul didnt want to be the guy that knocked out a 60 year old legend and maybe hurt him badly. It was kind of obvious.

I mean, Paul’s the guy that’s exclusively challenging retirees, so I think he knew what he was getting into.

I was waiting for the moment Tyson’s manager airlifts him out of the ring, but it never came. Maybe I don’t understand boxing…

 

[tarheelhockey]

I think Tyson hurt that knee and wasn’t willing to call off the fight a second time because of it.

 

[Svechhammer]

Seeing a lot of people speculating that Mike biting his glove after this was him actively reminding himself to pull punches to get paid, which.... I mean

I’d have an easier time believing that if Mike had actually thrown any punches.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Yeah, Mike was out there to not get knocked out and to defend until he gets his $20 million. Which, you know, fair enough. Everyone knows who and what he is, so if he wants to triple his net worth in a match like that, more power to him.

Paul, I believe, earned $40 million and the right to claim he beat Tyson in a boxing match. Of course, anyone worth their salt will point out that Tyson was almost 60, hadn’t fought in a professional match in over 20 years, and was in a wheelchair from his sciatica two weeks ago. The fact that he was even in the ring at all is mind boggling.

 

[Svechhammer]

I’d have an easier time believing that if Mike had actually thrown any punches.

Well, yeah. The fact he wasn't throwing anything and just went pure defense after that. I know it's a 60 year old Tyson but that had the look of a guy following orders before age kicked in

Way better than last night. Look at that streaming quality.
