Agree with you 80% of the time and respect your opinions. I have to say that Tyson v Paul seems an obvious fix. Mike and Jake have been good friends for years. Mike needs money. Mike is in good shape for an old guy but he can barely move anymore and in reality he was a possible threat for the first three rounds, after Jake could have landed at will on him and laid him out. Jake isn't a great boxer but he hits hard and has natural athletic ability.

Jake gave Mike a great payday and for that I commend him. The entire event was nothing but buildup and fake stuff to get people to believe that it was a real fight. I love Tyson and grew up in his era. Jake Paul is not a bad guy, he just plays one for money. He is an entertainer.

The fight was obviously a farce IMO.

I think Paul felt bad when reality set in during rd 2 and just layed off to let him finish but could have taken him out.

The only fight I can think of for the third “fixed” fight is Pac-Man vs DLH? DLH looked drained as hell though.

DLH was the clear A-side vs PAC. That fight wasn’t fixed. He came back down to 147 by his own choice. He thought it was easy money because of the size difference.

Of course Paul -TYson was fixed


First of all Tyson was 58 with decades of document back problems, he walks with a cane a lot of the time. No way should it have ever been a sanctioned FIGHT much less even an exhibition license granted but money talks.


They agreed to not go hard on each other and Jake agreed to carry him because the fans would turn on Jake for knocking out an old man and a well loved legend.

So we got the farce that we got and it ****** because in 2024 that was the one boxing fight that most non boxing fans watched so that sure didnt win us over any new fans of the sport

A) The Paul fight, abviously if Paul had knocked out Tyson, the Boxing world would have scorned such a fiasco ending in a KO for an ancient great. B) No, the Pac fight was not fixed. ODH agreed to meet at a catchweight of 145 and was massively drained. Just like when Leonard fought Camacho. Both ODH and Leonard fought at higher weights before the weight drop - NEVER go down in weight! Jones as well as Chris Byrd did the same thing and were in bad shape. History is littered with these examples.

I feel like Janibek is very good. But he’s not the serial killer that people portray him as

hilarious

i dont know why people say hes some guy with super fans and a serial killer LOL

boots is the guy portrayed as a serial killer there is a massive difference, bek is maybe portrayed as GGG lite lite very very lite as far as i can see anyway

Yeah I'm just saying it didn't look fixed, DLH just looked ****ed and Pacman was heavy handed at 147 at that time. What other fight could he be referencing?

ali vs liston


If it were my opinion, I'd say Kovalev vs. Canelo. But the description doesn't match.
