    No, my argument in the post you are responding to is that Askren's knockout/down/whatever looks very unrealistic. I leave it up to actual people to judge for themselves, because I am sure what you are doing here has nothing to do with objectivity.

    Meanwhile, Tyson clearly didn't throw against Paul, and numerous other factors show how fake the fight was. But again, people will have to decide for themselves.

    Mike needs to fire his trainer and get back with Kevin Rooney for the rematch.

    Convinced your winding me up now.

    Tyson didnt throw because hes injured. His leg wasnt working properly.

    Not only that hes a 58 year old man with serious sciataca than nearly died 3 months ago thats not fought in twenty years. Shouldnt have been near a boxing ring.

    Pretty much doesnt need explaining. I reckon without the knee injury the sciataca and the almost dying 3 months ago thing he probably would have surprised people in how good he still is.

    Its a bit like saying if i have a punch that could knockout anyone i,d be the heavyweight champion tho. I dont have that. Therefore I m probably not going to be a champion.

    This wasn't a fight for prestige or ego, it was just about money, nothing else.

    I would like to give a quote about Muhammad Ali, who fought against Larry Holmes despite his
    Parkinson's disease, which I think fits well here. I didn't see the "fight" (Tyson vs Paul) and probably never will.



    Earnie Shavers and Ron Lyle on "why Ali fight against Holmes?"

    Money makes you do strange things.
    To fight Larry Holmes, he got like 8 million dollars.That´s a lot of money.
    A ton of money. How many guys make that kind of money?

    He wanted to do what he wanted to do, just like me , just like you

    Would have been a different story if Cus D'Amato was there in the corner.

    His boxing skills have nothing to do with him getting knocked out? His lack of boxing skill had everything to do with it

    Your the type of guy that deep dives conspiracy videos on YouTube aren't you?

    Easily. The Tyson of the Jones exhibition was far more active and likely would've beaten Paul.

    People defending Jake Paul fake fights on this board by being intellectually dishonest is pretty par for the internet course. ONCE AGAIN, I said his boxing skills have nothing to do with THE APPARENT FAKENESS OF HOW THE KNOCKOUT OCCURRED. It isn't confusing, we just are all playing defense on this board, and not trying to honestly even engage with what is actually said. But real people can see what is what. Very stupid **** happening here.

    Supposed boxing fans defending the most obvious fake **** the sports world has ever seen is weird. But you are just being dishonest about that too, because why not combine your Jake Paul whitewashing with other flagrant bull****. That is called selling the work. The internet is a ****ing joke.

    I doubt it, McBride was sluggish and below average and Tyson was not even at 50%, this Tyson may have been in training more, but time has really overtaken him.
