NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[trojanfan12]

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.

I only been telling yall this for over a month now. Glad you came around

Better late than never

Kansas is a weird team so they better be prepared next week but that’s the only thing between them and the playoffs. Love their chances vs byu

Kansas is finally winning a little yes. Let’s see what they do today at BYU

Is Texas good?

I always assumed they would fail in a mediocre conference

Still a top contender but I dont think there is any team on their own top tier. Anyone can beat anyone in the top 12 imo (only exception maybe BYU)

Never

Look at their resume though. It is far from impressive and they should be ranked lower IMO

Those wins against Michigan and Oklahoma aren't good wins anymore

Best win is against unranked vandy and wasn't competitive vs Georgia at home

Should not be ranked 3rd

Good post especially re the reach factor, said so myself upthread. Not sure if this is an indictment of 'society' though, they had silly circus-like fights before too.

In his prime.....Tyson would have made him a 1st or 2nd KO victim.

Dude in his prime 10 seconds tops. What Paul has done is make a few rubes think he might be a semi legitimate fighter. He is not and never will be. He may be the greatest heel ever though.

@trojanfan12 have you seen the new BK commercial?

Mexican street corn whopper doesn't sound good but I would fuck up that fried pickle ranch whopper.

Canelo Alvarez told him to eff off when Paul called him out.

LOL.

Man, a cheeseburger right now with double meat, double cheese, extra pickles, extra jalapenos, a little mayo and extra mustard sounds good right about now.
