Good boxing intelligence to hold it back at the last second Mike gave a good account for himself that night he’s done well put respect on his name
No way man 😂😂😂😂 Mike was there to get paid 😂😂😂 he’s not a killer anymore and had he unleashed the punch, Jake would be dead 😂😂😂😂 I know boxing man, go watch Mike slap the shit out of Jake the last pre fight meeting. That slap was so fast you couldn’t see it. This fake punch was Mike in slow motion 😂😂😂😂 he wasn’t trying to kill an amateur boxer… he was in that ring just to get paid, it’s as simple as that 😂😂😂
I play with kids all the time pretending to throw punches and gently tapping them… that’s exactly what this fight looked like to me, Mike playing with a kid.
He wasn't moving away fast enough and Mike could have floored him easily!!!
I saw that too well said Tony Jeffries that was a ko its a joke
Mike let up on the pressure a couple of times in the first and second round. He could have easily put Jake down, once I saw that I knew it was rigged….
If u know mike u know the answer HAYSSS lots of bs
Mike Tyson let a lot of us down man facts 🗨️😎
Shut up and show more than a half second clip
Mike would never hold back on punches. He’s used to piercing his punches through his opponents in a split second.
That wasnt even the only pulled punch, there was 3 clear pulls in the first round. Including an upper cut that would have sent that boy to the shadow realm.
Thats why Tyson looked so awkward in that fight. He was fighting his instincts and was having a hard time doing it.
Even the jab is half done
They were both being too careful and many times mike pulled punches withdrew
Nahhh mike had him dead to rights. Have u watched Tyson train? He was nothing like this farce show. It was so obvious it was an exhibition deal not to hurt each other everyone wins
He is a changed man, he wouldn’t want to KO Jake and he is there to entertain and have fun. If he had that nastiness in his youth, despite being 58 now, Jake might be in heaven already.
That's the closest to God that boy has ever been……holy shit. Pulled it. Clear as day
If Jake caught this punch he could be dead already 😂
I don't think he would've knocked him out but he would've definitely took his head off
😅… he was moving… into KNOCKOUT TERRITORY. I've watched many professional boxing matches. I've even watched more than one Tyson match. Never have I seen Iron Mike play this game in the ring, even in his recent sparring clips. He'd kill Paul's liver. Then he'd ring that bell. 😂
Money = thats why
Your an absolute idiot 😂😂
It was not real fight that's why
He could have knocked him out.
Mike could’ve ended it early if it wasn’t fixed. He held back so many punches that would’ve floored Paul. Biting his glove continuously was him holding back the beast within. Tyson started out ok but when they tied up against the ropes Paul told him to chill out. Tyson was stiff for the rest of the match.
No he couldn't have knocked him out every landed punch doesnt cause a ko 😂 he didnt have ko power when he retired if he could walk through jake he would've kept fighting still for the last 20 years my goodness how gullible people are
Yeah that punch was not going to miss. At all
Total fake fight. We were all scammed.
When you 60 YEARS OLD…..❤
& 7feet 250 LB 20 YEAR OLD,
"cant beat you"….😮🎉
—you officially have ascended to DEMI GOD STATUS! ❤😂🎉
Mike: Oh wait i forgot to follow along the script
Does Tony want a fight a Youtuber payday?
