I hope Mike comes alive and KOs Paul in the final round. He looks nothing like his sparring videos. Perhaps he's been told not to knock him out

Dude. He's 58, deep in to the final rounds. His sparring videos were cuts of a few seconds.

While these two "fighters" want another 20 million each, so.... points decision, rematch.
Predictable script, with 20/20 hindsight.

I know. But my childhood memories of him are immense

After the 1st round I hoped we might see a decent fight, then about halfway through the 2nd you could see where it was headed.

Good payday for both...

Saw a comment on SM that Paul had a clause if he wins, he gets Eastwood and Freeman next 😄

Same. And what I watched wasn't that.

He was so unsteady on his feet for a guy that's supposedly trained the house down.

And yeah can't say I'll be quick to watch anymore netflix live streams.

I can’t believe I paid for that

@MN5 It was just part of my standard subscription? But yeah waste of effort to open the app and keep reopening the stream when it buffered.

Yeah that’s exactly what I mean.

13 bucks a month or whatever it is.

I’m Scottish remember

Bones

@MN5 weird that so many other organisations can get live streaming spot on and a company as big as Netflix fuck it up completely.

Shame because in his last prefight interview on BBC Sport, he still had that calm, quiet, fucking menacing demeanour which meant I genuinely feared for Paul.

Paul's stock nosedived after that

Tyson took some really good shots and I think Paul felt he couldn't knock him out so stayed out of range

Tyson wasn't quick enough to close the gap and pile the pressure on inside

Great post-fight comment to Ariel's question about the mouthguard and glove
