Mike Tyson Vs Jake Paul? (1 Viewer)

Paul - Tyson 2

 

[ZADO]

Will be watching this one.

I did not end up watching this one. Tapped out due to the streaming issues during the undercards. Probably could have switched over to my phone or tablet, but didn't care that much.

Is it even worth watching?

No. Maybe just the 1st round. Other than that it was pretty boring. Tyson just kind of stood there with his mitts up the whole time.

You mean chewing his mitts ?

 

[Riffraff]

Tyson landed 18 hits in 8 x2min rounds? 10min of chewing his commission approved pillow gloves.
At least Paul didn't hug him to death after the 1st round.

Neither were good except in the pocketbook.

 

[Runkle]

2 unreal fights (especially Porter/Serrano) made the night worthwhile. But it was followed by one of the biggest money grab farces in the history of sports. Anybody paying money to watch Paul fight these clown shows should have their head examined. At least this was free. And Netflix proved they have technical issues streaming live events. They couldn’t host a SuperBowl, that’s for sure.

Lots of people losing their jobs over this buffering fiasco.

Supposedly north of 100M viewers tuned in which is SB type numbers and approaching half of their total subscribers. Viewers for their regular NFL games will be way less and they're not likely to have issues there.

Last year they did a live episode of the reality show "Love is Blind", and that also crashed their system. So no idea why they thought they could handle this fight. I don't know the viewership numbers that show got but it could be in line with NFL expectations, so not a positive sign.

Looks like viewership for the fight was around 60 million which is quite a bit more than a typical NFL game (~15 million for MNF or a featured Sunday afternoon game, ~20 million for Sunday Night Football).

Yeah but how does the NFL compare to Love is Blind, which Netflix also failed at?

I'm also concerned about who the announcers and hosts will be for the Christmas NFL games.
The boxing ones were subpar.
Instead of Rosie Perez do we get Sarah Jessica Parker?

That was a software bug that they didn't catch until they went live. Sometimes that happens but it wasn't lack of capacity which this seemed to be.

[Cowboysfan8]

the problem with boxing IMO is exactly what happened in the womens' fight. Wrong person won on the cards, though Taylor defended better. Serrano threw 130 more punches and landed a higher percentage. She had 48 more landed power punches. And she did so while getting headbutted three times minimum with a nasty gash from them. It's not like a bad strike call by an ump or a holding penalty on the LT. There is no way to overcome the finality of judges deciding you lose. See Roy Jones in the Olympics, and various gymnasts screwed by Russian judges. Taylor's reaction showed she was even surprised she won. Impressively Serrano threw 73 punches in 2 mins in round 2. That's insane

Fight ends with a KO or someone taps out is the only way to get around the horrible judging I guess

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

I didn't get to watch, because I was in the ER (I am OK), but do we think Tyson's reaction time just has really eroded with age, or was he holding back? There were a few opportunities where he slipped a hook and had a chance for a traditional Tyson combo, but he barely moved. I also read a rumor they agreed no uppercuts -- did they throw any? I only saw a few clips.

Jake threw multiple upper cuts.

Tyson was fine in the first round and then his legs gave out. Roy Jones Jr called it out immediately when he saw Tyson was near dead in his movement.

I don't think Tyson was holding back. I think he was in great shape for a 58 year old but that is meaningless when you are facing some one 30 years younger in even better shape. All of Tyson's energy from the 2nd round on went into defense.

Netflix announced that it was 60 million households, not 60 million viewers. If it was 60 million households, the viewership would be significantly higher. The numbers you are quoting for the NFL are viewers, not households.

Note that the Netflix household number was a world wide number, not US only.

and households might actually mean devices. I know where I was watching it, we had 4 devices going. We were watching it on my buddies tv, but once the issues started, 3 of us turned off our wifi connection and used our cell service to stream it on our phone. one of us broadcast it from his phone to the tv and we watched it that way, as choppy as it was.

that is something that gets too technical that I cannot understand. why would it NOT work if my wifi on my phone was connected to my buddy's house, but it would work if I turned the wifi off?

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

I thought Tyson was clearly holding back and is a horrifically bad actor. The whole thing was a sham. Clearly fixed.

Paul basically bought a W vs Mike Tyson for 20 million dollars.


ETA- I don’t want to suggest that Tyson was was capable of running around the ring It’s just that he clearly wasn’t throwing punches and doesnt have legs. Tyson is also a very bad actor.

We did not see a single combination like we saw in his training videos.

I think Tyson's one connection in the 1st legit scared Paul, making him wary for the rest of the fight of getting caught too close- so he wisely moved, jabbed and stayed away. Tyson had next to nothing left to try to use ring generalship and get Paul where he wanted him. So it looked like Mike was just playing as and hoping Paul would come in close to take a shot. At the same time, it didn't look like Mike wanted to take Paul's best shot either... So we got what we got.

 

[NewlyRetired]

and households might actually mean devices.

From my understanding, Netflix knows how many devices per household are being used. Netflix does not know how many people per household are watching. They use a rough estimation per household for internal numbers of viewers.

I'm not buying the software bug. I had major buffering that started during the Porter/Serrano fight and started Googling for solutions. The one that worked for me was to VPN to a European server where it was the middle of the night. Once I VPN'ed into Spain, it was fine. Zero issues.

That doesn't point to software to me, that points to capacity on the US servers.

Yeah it was survival mode. And Paul for all intensive purposes laid back. He could have really pressed the issue and even put him away on an easy TKO at worst and he didn't press the issue out of respect. He did not want Mike Tyson remembered for being knocked out by a YouTube influencer.

It was a win for both of them in the pocket book and honestly public opinion.

The two title fights on the undercard were outstanding. It was a successful card.

 

[Scoresman]

Handling capacity for an event like this is a real challenge. Good luck convincing shareholders and executives to invest a ton of money into the infrastructure needed to handle these one time high capacity events completely seamlessly.

You see this a lot in massively multiplayer video games. When a popular game launches, everyone and their mother is trying to login and play which cause huge issues usually. But this demand only lasts for a few days. These companies arent going to invest in the infrastructure to handle the load needed for only a few days/weeks of the game's lifespan. They just try to handle as best they can.

Early it seemed like Paul was a bit scared and stayed at arms length so he didn't run into any punches. I thought he fought the whole fight that way. I guess you can construe it as respect and taking it easy on Tyson and it may have been. My initial impression was that Paul was scared of Tyson's power so he stayed away and Tyson had no legs so he couldn't force the issue. Either way it was a bit of a dud especially after the two fights leading up to it.

As far as the buffering and streaming issues, I had zero issues. It was perfectly fine other than one buffering delay right before the Tyson fight started. I hit the back button and clicked on watch fight and it was great after that. No issues.

Most long time fight fans think Paul carried Tyson to the decision but I don’t think it was anything more than a way to get an easy decision with zero chance of getting in any trouble once it was clear Tyson lost any mobility.

I say he carried him because man it was painfully obvious how dead Mike's legs were.....he had nothing left after the first round. Paul could have hammered away at him and he also had him in trouble a short time (forgot which round). But I think Paul was being highly respectful of the moment and it allowed Mike to exit Boxing on a graceful note in how he overcame a bleeding ulcer and lot's of health issues and he was able to go technically 5 rounds with a 27 year old in shape guy. I am grateful he did not get hurt at all. That was my primary concern.

As far as Paul as a boxer....any real deal contender would destroy him inside 3 rounds easily by way of knockout. He is not a real fighter in my eyes. Clumsy, bulked up, wild puncher, lots and lots of openings for a legit killer to take him apart in short order.

it was totally disappointing and I agree that it looked like acting by tyson he would stand there and do his bob and weave and no one would advance on the other just seemed like it was scripted and boring but i see that guys like todem take the other direction and maybe that is the worst part of jake paul is that we will never know what is real and what is fake that pile of crap should just fight someone who is even a low level comparable age comparable weight fighter and let us see what is real take that to the bank brohans

You can find many of the answers to your questions when Paul fought Tommy Fury who was similar age and similar boxing experience and similar skill level.

As a non-boxing expert I understood why people were clowning on Jones and Perez, but I credit them for having the courage to say out loud what we all saw. Jones called out Tyson's lack of movement early on, to the point he was being ridiculed a bit in here for it, but I thought it was refreshing for all the casuals watching to have a real boxer confirm that Tyson was completely done fighting early in the second round. He looked every bit of 58 years old from his walk into the ring through to his post-fight interviews. Near the end of the 5th round or so, Perez said something like "The question I have is why Paul hasn't knocked Mike out yet." I'm paraphrasing, but that is as close as I can remember for a real quote. Jones agreed with her - the only remaining question over the last couple of rounds was why Paul wasn't fighting back.

I think anyone who was confused by Tyson's performance probably isn't considering the fact that the pre-fight promos showed Tyson doing seemingly vicious combos for about 5-10 seconds. There may have been longer videos but all I saw were the shorts - Tyson doing situps, Tyson doing 1-2 combos in sparring, etc. I picture him taking a seat for 5-10 minute breaks in between those 10 second video clips.

 

[Gally]

I think anyone who was confused by Tyson's performance probably isn't considering the fact that the pre-fight promos showed Tyson doing seemingly vicious combos for about 5-10 seconds.

This is totally true but I do believe that if Tyson could have gotten inside he could/would have showed this. However, it was painfully obvious he had no legs and couldn't cut off the ring or move to get inside. Could have been planned by Paul but I think that if Paul allowed Tyson inside we could have seen some of this and Paul was scared to let it happen.

As a guy around Tyson's age that was fairly athletic in my younger days, I definitely have felt what I saw in Tyson. My legs just don't work like they used to even if the mind and other aspects (hand speed for Tyson) appear to be intact to some degree. But when the legs don't get you there the other stuff doesn't matter. That's what I saw in this case.

so he lost to a real boxer got it take that to the bank brohan

 

[fruity pebbles]

Put me in the camp that Tyson was washed and Paul could have taken him out at any time after the 3rd round. Tyson got stunned in the 3rd by nothing that would be considered a hard shot. After that they just played patty cake for five rounds. Nobody, including Jake Paul, wanted to see Tyson on the mat fumbling around looking for his mouthpiece.

And barely a real boxer at that. If you look at Fury’s record, the only two people who are well known enough to have a wiki, are Paul and KSI (who is effectively the same as Paul)

 

[ghostguy123]

Peter McNeely would have smoked this Mike Tyson with an easy first or second round knockout.

 

[ghostguy123]

I seriously don't think I saw Tyson throw a right hand.

 

[fruity pebbles]

In ring interview after, Mike says he’d fight again then on point Jake’s dipshit brother chimes in. Anyone who watches Tyson “fight” again, even if free, needs their head examined or has way too much free time.

 

[FarFromHome]

Just saw the viewership numbers. Record breaking. 65 millions? Damn

 

[NewlyRetired]

Just saw the viewership numbers. Record breaking. 65 millions? Damn

That was the household number, not the viewership number. Netflix does not yet have a way to determine how many people in a household are watching.

If the 60-65 million household number is correct (this is world wide), then it is very likely to be well over a 100 million viewers.

But this demand only lasts for a few days. These companies arent going to invest in the infrastructure to handle the load needed for only a few days/weeks of the game's lifespan. They just try to handle as best they can.

Netflix has a 360 billion dollar market cap. They can and will get this fixed.

The comments in here to short the stock or get out were quite funny. I was thinking just the opposite. It's clearly fixable and will get done. WAY more importantly, is the fact that they themselves underestimated such demand, which sure surprised me. That's telling and great long-term when you think about it.

They are a monster with a lot more to go. The media analyst I listen to the most, still loves them. Dude has been around the block and called it all along, including the Disney pump-fake and subsequent stall. Hell, he's been spot-on with both for over 10 years.

One of my favorite podcasts is doing a two-part series on Tyson. Great first episode released yesterday --> https://open.spotify.com/episode/2qiBwFbWQJ4FoXmYkDwpIl?si=8f3bf6e3433e437a

The year is 1977. An 11-year-old Mike Tyson is high on acid, terrorising the people of Brooklyn with a world war one bayonet.

Little did they know, this wild-eyed urchin is destined to become the youngest heavyweight champion in history.

He robbed houses, got his prison counsellor pregnant, and made Brad Pitt beg for his life.

This is the story of the scariest man on the planet…

Second episode of the Upshot Tyson series is out and its fantastic. Here's the twitter intro thread, including the hilarious interview he did with a 14 year old girl last week in which he explains why life is meaningless then drops an F-bomb: https://x.com/upshottowers/status/1858500226450956624?s=61

Another exhibition. Yay.

Conor McGregor on X:

The rumors of a bout with topurio are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.
I have agreed.
I will then seek my return to the Octagon.
