Weed smoking Tyson pulled his punches in that one. He could have sparked him clean out.

I thought he was trying out a new set of teeth biting those gloves all the time 😂

I think he was trying his very best not to destroy him, in order to take home his $.

I don't think a 60 year old Mike was much of a threat to Jake Paul. Yeah he looked good in small bursts on the pads, but there's no way he could keep that up for even one round. 

 

IMO the hesitation he showed in that "fight" was less about saving JP and more about not getting into a brawl with a man who's half his age. 

 

AJ is a different kettle of fish though. If he goes in there with the intention of doing damage, Jake will want to quit on his stool

These fights are as scripted as an Eastenders episode - I hope I’m wrong but it’s all about money! Boxing hasn’t lost its credibility, it’s just the heavy weight division that has. Work your way down the weights and boxing is still alive and kicking with some great fighters/fights. AJ is poo, Tyson was poo - I like Usyk but he’s hardly been tested (cleaned out the cruiser weight division and then nothing notable) and couldn’t hold a torch to boxers of the past or maybe he could if there was a worthy opponent which there isn’t/hasn’t been.
I shall do what I’ve previously done and wait to watch the YouTube highlight on Sunday morning, secretly hoping that aj sparks him in the first round.

You are so very wrong about usyk that guy would have beaten the very best in the past apart from Ali. He is such a clever boxer with a granite chin. He reminds me of Mayweather but in a bigger size.

Ok if you think they are scripted (and I'm not saying your wrong), here's a thought experiment for you. 

 

Your AJ. Your about to fight Jake for 70million or whatever. The script says that JP gives you a hard time in the early rounds but you fight to a decision victory, and as such your supposed to be pulling your punches etc and letting him land. One of the shots that you let him land gets thrown with a bit more intensity than it should have (or maybe Jake double crosses you and does it on purpose), and you get sparked out. Your now a laughing stock, the big payday Fury fight is as good as dead, you cant admit that it was staged or the feds will lock you and Eddie up... seems like a hell of a shit situation. 

 

Wouldn't you be better off just going in there regardless of whether theres a script or not and Icing Disney boy as soon as possible? what's he gonna do? complain you didn't follow the script and tap him for 8 rounds?

 

I dont see any world where AJ benefits from following a script

I paid my respects he was a great cruiser and it was a stroke for him stepping up weights but I’ll have to disagree with you, no one to test him so we will never know. Usyk wins through movement and accumulation, I could name loads but I’ll just say someone like Lewis who leans, attacks the body and who can impose ko blows over the length of a fight he’d have no chance.

Let’s wait and see I guess, but I’m thinking he will let him tap him for 8 rounds and make it go the distance for the money. Jake looks good cause he went the distance and aj gets the win and pay day - there’s not a world where even with a lucky shot Jake KO’s aj so he’s safe and it’s an easy pay day (that’s where it’s scripted and that’s why it’s a joke). Jake could throw 8 rounds of KO punches and aj will see them coming as will the whole world, Jake trains like a fighter but he isn’t one.

I can’t see how a fix serves any purpose.

 

AJ is doing it for the money of course, so might as well spark him out when he fancies it.

Theres never been a hint of a fix in any of JPs fight thus far.
