Headlines
Mike Tyson had been sparring 10 rounds at full speed for two months before this fight but he couldn’t even walk around the ring for 15 seconds with any sustained energy come on Dan Patrick you are embarrassing yourself
Wrong
I don't know what fight you guys watched but it's clear that Mike wasn't fast but also took a dive.
BS it was fixed , everybody knows it ! Mike Tyson could've knocked Jake Paul out at anytime everybody knows it
Ur wrong Mike could’ve got him in EVERY ROUND.
what is mike doing
There's so many short clips of Mike Tyson pulling punches when he had an obvious chance to lay a knockout punch on Jake Paul even one where Jake Paul flinched because Mike Tyson started to punch him when Jake Paul was completely unguarded and then like suddenly pulls his punch
I don't do you tube. But what the f are you talking about?
Mike was never gonna be on fire at that age but only landed 18 punches GTF. He legit bobbed and dodged a few of Fake Pauls's throws and then never threw anything but looked like he could have. 100% fake
Mike didn’t have any energy after round 2, sure at 58 years of age, he isn’t the athlete he was in his 20-30’s.
I’m hearing so much criticism regarding the fight being staged, which is largely based on Tyson’s training videos.
But, those clips are less than 1 minute long (nearer to 30 seconds). A boxing match requires a fighter to be fit enough to sustain their power for at least 36 minutes (3 mins x 12 rounds). To accomplish this effort, a boxer’s training routine requires 20-30 hours of training each wk; including 5 Km runs, 3 x per week, 4 x 400k intervals, while jogging every 2nd lap to cool down, every wk, 8 x 100 meter sprints, rope jumping 3 – 4 days per week, weight training for power with sustained efforts of at least 10-15 reps, repeated 3-4 x for each exercise (5 x per wk), 4 x 3 minutes heavy bag training, 4 x 3 minutes speed bag with elbows high each day, plus continuous sparing daily (with varying agendas), but not less than 30 minutes per session (with breaks every 4 minutes).
My guess is that Tyson’s training didn’t include a fraction of the above program. He would have required 4-6 months of such a routine to be prepared to win the fight.
It was SO obviously a staged exhibition match to make Netflix, Jake and Mike all the monies. And we, the consumers, fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
Jake was never going to hurt mike cuz they are friends 💯🙄 but only suckers buy Jakes Fights, it's FAKE ENTERTAINMENT 💯 and I don't spend any money on that BS 💯🙄😂😂😂😂
Totally rigged. Watch it. Tyson held back many times.
I was fooled thinking you were going to show some highlights of fight.
jeez this segment felt like your dad talking to himself in his car. Oof how far Dan Patrick has fallen.
It was rigged. Mike had to stay in for 8 rounds and not knock out Jake to get paid. Plain and simple.
Jake Paul is not boxer. He's an entertainer.
