    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.

    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 😄

    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.

    @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.

    @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

    'I have a biting fixation'

    The part of Tyson at his best that gets overlooked was his fast feet and his legs were very strong , even if he trained up his upper body strength which you still can do as you age , but that quick footwork was never coming back .
