Anyone else find it really sad to watch Mike Tyson?

[blueonblack22]

The entire boxing match went exactly as I predicted. Tyson would come out swinging for the fences hoping for a KO in the first 2 rounds because that was his only chance. Then he would get tired and Jake Paul would completely take over the fight.

Tyson also had a regressive tick when it came to biting his own gloves. He’s done this in past fights when he much younger. But nowhere as much as he did it tonight. It must be some sort of weird psychological reaction to feeling frustrated, trying to focus, feeling angry (he bit more then just his glove during the Holyfield fight), etc. But it was so painfully obvious tonight.

Anyway Tyson doesn’t give 2 sh*ts about how anyone feels about him and took home $20 million for this fight. Not a bad payday for a 58 year old retired boxer. And yet it just seemed so painful and sad to see him get so old. It’s reality and Father Time is undefeated. But still I really hope we don’t see another old boxer/mma fighter go against Jake Paul again.

I have to wonder how a 48 year old Tyson would do against Jake Paul. THAT would be an interesting fight. Very interesting.

The fact he is now saying he slapped him because he stepped on his toe is even worse. I don't know why he’s doing that. Does he not have kids to advice him smh. Horrible.

Mike isn’t going to change. Got to respect him for putting himself out there under the lights against a 27 year old. But still it was painful to watch. It made a mockery of boxing.

Jake Paul however doesn’t care at all about what people think of him either. He’s gotten extremely rich and famous off all this. Genius self marketing in a way.

Only if I cared about Tyson. Brutes fight. He probably has CTE

I expected a lot more out of him according to his videos

[AI Opinion]

Seeing iconic athletes like Mike Tyson age and face challenges can indeed stir mixed emotions. Tyson's aggressive style and unmatched ferocity were legendary, but time spares no one, even the fiercest competitors. As he embarks on exhibitions, it's a reminder of aging's inevitability in sports. Yet, these ventures can also be seen as celebrations of careers, allowing fans to relive their admiration. While the nostalgia can be bittersweet, it's important to appreciate the legacy they leave behind. 🥊

Nope. He’s a professional and knows the gig
