That is the greatest description I could hope for.

Well, not for Francis, but you get the point.

Francis was completely lost after that second knockdown and AJ just straight up executed my boy. The southpaw switch in the 1st was the definition of hubris though ngl

I’ve never seen a fighter just stand up defenseless like that and hold his chin out for a KO. Ref didn’t see if he was responsive other than being conscious at all and he clearly should have.

Well. Anthony always seemed like a guy who didn't really want to fight; sometimes guys like that are excellent against opponents they think they can beat, because a lack of confidence and commitment is usually their biggest problem.

Wish it'd gone different tho'.

What we learned is Tyson Fury is too dumb to come up with the 'just throw a straight right at him' strategy.

This reflects really well on Joshua compared to Fury. I mean not to people here, with a real knowledge of boxing, but when you absolutely crush someone that gave another guy some trouble...

In other news, Canelo vs. Jamie Munguia was confirmed for Cinco De Mayo Eve. A much better fight over his other rumored opponent, Edgar Berlanga, but way short of who he needs to be fighting, David Benavidez

Tyson comes from the traveler school of boxing. It’s not 4d chess so much as 17d with a caravan attached

lol holy poo poo, guess fury really didn't do poo poo in prep for him

I think what worked for Ngannou in the Fury fight was that his ability to read feints was unpracticed / delayed enough that it threw off Fury's timing.
He also backed off way more than in this fight, just hanging out there with his loose guard.

With this increase dedication to trying to read stuff and overcommitting, he did way fewer bulldozer combos to come into a clinch and have AJ second guessing the power.
Once he got KDed, the sliver of boxing practice he'd gotten down just evaporated.

I've been watching the cherry picked highlights of Mike Tyson gearing up (lol) for Jake Paul and he definitely looks way better than the last training footage he put out.
It's me, the person starting to believe this will be a fight instead of predetermined theater.

I'm sure it is cherry picked but jesus, a 60 year old man should not be able to move that fast

I'd love to believe, hell I'd be willing to if I saw a clip of Tyson in continuous motion for more than 8 seconds. Seems like there's definitely a world where he sparks him out in the first 15 seconds though

The money move is Tyson flatlines Jake and then Logan tries to get revenge.

If it’s actually a contract, then this contest wouldn’t be sanctioned, right? As a competitive boxing match, I mean. Haven’t looked to see if that’s been stated.

Tyson-Jones status as an official fight wasnt known until days before the event, so it will be a while if we know if it is official or not. The status will probably change multiple times.

I assume, maybe without any basis, that the Paul team has their legal ducks way more sorted than whoever was behind Tyson-Jones. CSAC sanctioned that as an exhibition, “referee was under specific instructions to stop the match if it goes beyond ‘the boundaries of a competitive boxing exhibition’”

I imagine they would be fine with a no KO rule in the contract.


Also I can’t find any evidence that Legends Only League still exists or serves as Tyson’s promoter. Its website turned into a seo placeholder some time before 6/2022.

so do yall think Tyson can beat Jake Paul even with the rules about the 18oz gloves and the headguard? I don't know about the gloves, I assume that makes the punches less hard?

I had assumed there would be rules in Jake's favor, is this a big handicap or not much?
