Tyson vs. Paul: Call It! 🄊

He beat Anderson Silva, who was old but who had just beaten former world champion Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. Also, I maintain that KO’ing MMA champions like Tyron Woodley takes legit skill and power even if he’s purposefully selected retired guys.

Not arguing with anyone, just thought I’d add that info for anyone not too familiar with him.

How is it than in hundreds of thousands of years of competing in combat sports, humans still have not agreed on how we decide who among us is most skilled at beating other people in the head?

This seems like something we should have figured out by now.

We’re fighting about fighting. It’s pretty meta.

Amateurs.

We did: it was called Pankration, and it was just fine until POLITICIANS got involved.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

My astrologist told me that a lack of trust in the games emerged when certain handsome gladiators were being propped up by the corrupt fake news media. Some of these so-called ā€œgladiatorsā€ weren’t even enslaved and only ever fought drugged opponents and severely handicapped lions.

It’s a shame, really. It could’ve been quite the spectacle.

Assuming this story took place in 2008: those are the same thing.

Wasn’t Pankration usually a fight to the death?

How else would you know if you won?

Although there was at least ONE match where the dead person won…

Now I’m confused. How would one determine that the dead person won?

That has to be one of the greatest deaths in sports history, although I question how the timing could have actually worked out that way, but that doesn’t matter.

It is important to believe ancient history, even if it isn’t true.

I guess Jake Paul was such a good self promoter that he deceived himself…

Social media warriorz have talked themselves into blurring the line between actual Professionals, and amateurs who are great at self promotion and interwebz tough talk.

Stark Lesson given.

I’m 100% convinced all of Paul’s fights are rigged and Anthony Joshua went off script.

That said, Paul is rich as shit from his shenanigans so there’s that.

I think for Joshua he’s already rich and he had more to gain from a long awaited fight with Fury, which I doubt would happen if he didn’t convincingly beat JP. Slightly disappointed that he didn’t get some cleaner shots off on him, wanted to see the lights go out, but jaw broken in 2 places will have to do.

That ring size was a joke though (as was the whole fight).

He’s definitely a great self promoter and if he can get some serious boxers signed early on in their career he might do well out of MVP as well.

I thought Mauro Ranalo did a good job as commentator for the fight. He wasn’t afraid to call it like he saw it.
