It's rare that I have any interest at all in a boxing match, but I'm having a particularly hard time understanding why anyone on the planet would be keen to watch Jake Paul fight Mike Tyson. Yet somehow, this has been promoted as if it's something consequential.
It feels more to me like the modern Roman circus in the days of a declining empire.
Paul is 27, I see. With his heavy set body, tatts and beard, he could easily pass for 40.
I wonder if even Jason Soon is cynical about this?
It’s going to be dissapointing. Tyson can’t possibly have the endurance for boxing now. Not unless he spent his early 50’s doing cross country skiing. The 14 ounce gloves will prevent an early knockout. There will be secret rules preventing a knockout either way. So it will be a dud with Tyson gasping for air after every round. With Marciano gloves it could be interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe prediction seems correct (from what I read - I didn't watch.)
