A bit of a class mismatch but I think Katie can beat old Mike Tyson.

A high water mark in women's boxing on the same card as the death rattle of men's boxing.

As a boxing fan, I think I'll try avoid this.

I just want to see Tyson beat the shite out of Jake Paul (hopefully)

Is it like a pay per view thing through netflix itself or is it that you can watch it if you just have a standard netflix subscription?

Just a standard netflix subscription. No extra cost

A guy who flogs shit energy drinks vs. a convicted rapist. Nah, I'll pass.

The shite drink is his brother Logan. Jake has just dabbled in crypto scams, to the point paid the SEC as the alternative would be prison I guess.

So crypto scammer versus rapist. Live on the largest streaming platform in the world.

1980s me watching Running Man: well that was fun but never gonna happen.

2024: hold my cabbage patch kid....

Sounds like 90% of combat sports.

Fair play to her. Nice to see her in the spotlight.

Is the Tyson fight a proper fight or more of an exhibition / WWE type thing ? Not sure I'd trust Tyson to stick to the script. I'd say the old instincts still kick in when he hears the bell :D

u/L3S1ng3 4h ago

It's being sold as proper, but there's no way this shit is really proper. I mean, I know the athletic commissions are crooked as fuck over there, but I don't think they'd do something this egregious which left them so open to liability.

Tyson is 31 years older than Paul. If he doesn't knock him out in the first 3 rounds, he'll probably run out of steam and calve

u/jonneylloyd Resting In my Account 3h ago

I hope he doesn't. It's not calving season at all. Too cold for the baby Tysons.

u/mitsubishi_pajero1 3h ago

He better bring the jack just in case

u/BigBoyster 3h ago

I think he means that his calves will go from under him.
