NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Tyson had one round in him. He landed some good shots in the first round but was gassed after that. They kinda danced around in the 2nd. But in the 3rd, Paul really hurt him and you could see it in his face he went "Oh shit, I don't really want to KO 58 year old Mike Tyson" and then spent the rest of the fight moving away and throwing jabs, no power. Fight went pretty much exactly how I thought it would though I also wouldn't have been surprised if Tyson wouldn't have gone the full distance. He wouldn't have been able to if they had any more rounds. He was completely gone there going to the 8th. Took everything he had to get off the stool. Just deadass tired.

But enough about that. Taylor/Serrano was a hell of good fight that ended with a horrible decision. Serrano was completely fucked over.

Yeah, first round I was thinking..."Okay, he's still got some of that old hand speed, if he's still got some power, he could win this pretty quickly". You could see Jake Paul had a bit of an "Oh shit, I'm in here with Mike Tyson" look on his face. But he never got that clean shot in. About halfway through the second round, he dropped off considerably and from there it was "just don't get knocked out".

I think what got overlooked was the reach disparity, that protected Paul from getting hit because Tyson no longer has the speed. Honestly what Paul is doing says so much about us as a society. The guy would get destroyed by a real fighter in his prime, he has no speed at all in fighting terms.
