    This, and you'd hardly want it any other way. Bull**** fight, but this was an exhibition. Of course Jake wasn't going to try to KO Tyson who had nothing. He's a tit but right decision.

    Problem is that there are actually men out there who are healthy and still quite good at sports in their 50s. Unfortunately, Tyson is not one of them.

    All I'm saying is Paul showed Mike Mercy. Not just because he was afraid of Tysons counters.

    Mike made mad money, and Mike will be remembered for an eternity while no one knows who you are in your prime.

    I thought Tyson got out of boxing in great shape but his stumbling on his heels a little even when hit in the stomach is a sign his equilibrium is damaged. Outside of that he looked like a fighter who has no reflexes, balance and legs are gone

    Legs are so important in boxing, people say power is the last thing you lose but legs are critical to power and generally the first thing to go with age for explosive fighters.

    A guy who was 58, hadn’t fought for 20 years, was totally washed up when he last fought, is a chronic dope fiend and has bad knees and back wasn’t competitive with a 30 years younger healthy man?

    Who’d a thunk it?

    LOL. Yep, he sold out and he got paid.

    But he was embarrassed as hell during that postfight interview.

    I'll be rewatching as soon as I can, but I thought the commentary was awful. Thought the point deduction was bull**** and them disagreeing pretty bad on the full rounds I did see.

    Like the 12th, Katie landed so many more clean shots in that round yet they scored it to Serrano.

    But as I say I'll be rewatching asap

    Sure okay, it doesn't change a single millimeter in Tyson's record.

    Us real fans know this was a money fight, a circus show. If you took it seriously, you need to take a step back and question your logic.

    Youre the one who thought it was an exhibition.
