One of my biggest triggers is people thinking the Tyson fight was fixed because Tyson didnt kill him lol.
People really mythologized him into some insane killer at the age of 60 lol. Ive had to watch all my favorite fighters get killed by father time and it is WILD to see people think that the age didnt matter. Of course a guy in his physical prime with some conditioning and mediocre boxing skills can out move and out throw a 60 year old Tyson lol
I appreciate it, since some people don’t know the context. Tyson didn’t look like he was even fit to run faster than a jog, but people just sort of glossed over it to make conspiracy theories that he threw rather than see that he obviously took a match he was way too old to realistically win for the sake of whatever they were paying him.
People usually do the “but he looked so strong and fast in his training videos!” Yeah man hes going 100% for like 20 seconds lol. Thats not how a professional fight goes. It was honestly embarassing as fuck for the whole thing.
But tbf when AJ fought him I was like “lol wow he is actually going to die to AJ” and it was 5 rounds of AJ playing with him until he just destroyed him lol
I blame the media that shows some old guy beat up a younger guy saying “heh, nice try, kid” and not him on a morphine drip having his knees rebuilt with NASA science after
Instead, he is very carefully selecting opponents he can actually beat. Which is washed fighters, or fighters who aren’t boxers he forces into a boxing match. Like, people act like a MMA grappler should magically be able to beat a boxer in a boxing match where grappling is illegal
Yeah he is 100% doing that. Mfs want to fight because its a bag so they aren’t gonna say no.
Its unethical at the very best, and kinda dumb that it works. Its pretty funny he did fight AJ who legit could kill him, but every other fight is just washed or not great boxer mma guys lol. He fought that fury brother and lost too, hes just extremely mediocre, but capable of beating up on older slower guys
If there was any fix, it was to ensure Jake Paul didn’t kill Tyson. You’re severely underestimating how advantageous youth and PEDs are and how much wear and tear a professional athlete competing at a world class level accumulates even if they stay mostly untouched inside the ring and in the healthiest regimen outside of it, which Tyson definitely didn’t.
It was fixed. He pulled his punches. Compare that fight to his fight vs Roy Jones Jr where he also didnt go hard to the head but didnt hold back on technique
It really aint man. The rjj fight was 5 years ago and it still slowed down. Roy is also old as fuck, you can just go like that on a guy who can just walk backward faster than your old ass can approach.
If Jake beat AJ or even went the distance with him it would be fishy as fuck, and he got smoked when AJ decided to stop playing with his food. Mike Tyson is just an old man. Like literally a 100 year old man in fight years.

Anyway I just wanted to rant about that lol.

He’s not fixing the fights, yea.
Instead, he is very carefully selecting opponents he can actually beat. Which is washed fighters, or fighters who aren’t boxers he forces into a boxing match. Like, people act like a MMA grappler should magically be able to beat a boxer in a boxing match where grappling is illegal
I don’t know what you call that. Career fixing?
Yeah he is 100% doing that. Mfs want to fight because its a bag so they aren’t gonna say no.

He knows he is super hated and people want to see him lose. People need to stop caring about this joke of a guy.
If the Paul brothers have a super power it’s getting people’s attention.
You’re never going to get people to ignore a good Ric Flair-type heel sadly. It’s too good of a gimmick to let go.
I think we can do better when it comes to heels.
Oldest ride, longest line
I see that, i read all of it, i understood what you said but i still think the tyson fight was fixed.
