Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson overview

I watched the Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight last night. I was somewhat anxious. I wasn't going to watch it until I had heard the result because if Mike Tyson lost I didn't want to watch it but a coworker said this was the first time Netflix was live streaming a sporting event and wasn't sure if the replay would be easily accessible. I really admire Mike Tyson and I can't stand Jake Paul.

I know he's a YouTuber and he has a following but I don't care. I think as a person, he's an idiot. It doesn't matter who he gets to train him. I realize he's playing the villain with ridiculous antics like entering the ring on a sponsors truck and wearing diamond laced boxing trunks. That makes him the epitome of idiocy. Money will not change that. Tyson is obviously in awesome shape for 58 but he looked old as in tired. When Ali got old he had Alzheimer's. Iron Mike certainly isn't there yet but like one of the commentator's said it was kind of a lose lose situation for Jake Paul. If you lose you lost to a 58 year old man and if you win you beat a 58 year old man.

I have no interest in following Jake Paul's career. I am interested in following Andy Ruiz. He rocked Anthony Joshua. Anthony Joshua won the rematch on points but he certainly didn't rock Andy Ruiz. There are a lot of really good boxers in Mexico. Andy Ruiz is unusual because he's so heavy but he clearly has a lifetime of boxing skills and he does have good cardio.

There was one fight on the under-card. Two women. One from Ireland, the other from Puerto Rico. They were very skillful, very evenly matched and the 10 round fight was intense. I think they should have stopped the fight after the challenger was cut by the headbutt.

The Irish girl was rocked early in the fight and had a tendency of grabbing her opponent in a clinch when she was backed into a corner and driving forward like a football player. It was different but effective. She also had a habit of moving forward with her head down which gave a nasty cut to the Puerto Rican girl above one eye. I think they should have stopped the fight at that point. It was a serious cut and she continued for several intense rounds after that. She displayed a huge amount of heart. I don't normally watch woman's sports at all. However, aside from the headbutt cut, that fight was intense. I know everyone is trying to gain sponsors to make money. Boxing is a reputable sport. So is the UFC. Too bad there isn't more money in the UFC.
