Facebook warned me that this post may violate their standards. Oh brother.

“Iron Mike, please knock this fool out.”

why was Tyson biting his own glove the entire fight? prevented him from blocking body shots effectively but he never dropped his hands?

I just want to say Paul get KO'd. I wish he'd get in the octagon. Jon Jones would kick his head off. Then a week later they'd find out Jones pissed dirty for cocaine and Paul can claim he's still undefeated. Wins all around.

An embarrassment to sports.

Neither looked like real boxers. Tyson could hardly move after the opening minute, Paul was either scared of getting hit or just felt bad, he hardly did anything either.

Paul is never going to take a legit fight, it would end his scam.

He really has no reason to take on a legit fight. He's reportedly making $40M for dancing around with Tyson. He spent $1M on his shorts that were covered in diamonds. Absolutely ridiculous.

He reportedly made $40 million for this event. I can't blame him when he's banking that much coin and Tyson also made $20 million. Logan had a lot more exposure considering if he lost then his career is over, even as a sideshow boxer. Justifying a loss to a 58 year old man is too much. Especially when that 58 year old man has been out of the sport for over a decade. I'd fight both at the same time for that sort of money. For Paul to carry it to the end was a good.move for Jake and Mike..it.waa.exhibition after all.

I'd like to take a brief moment to trash on Mike Tyson's career.

A flash in the pan career. Peaked in his early 20s, only notable wins came against guys on the brink of retirement (Holmes and Spinks), lost every meaningful fight after the age of 23. Embarrassed by Hollyfield and Lewis.

Most overrated heavyweight of all time.

He bit Hollyfield's ear off... how that isn't a career ender is beyond me... but that isn't even his low point!

Also a certified rapist!

I momentarily felt bad for him and that embarrassing show tonight (mostly because I find the Paul brothers abhorrent) then as a few hours went by I reminded myself; 'Oh yeah! Tyson is revolting!'

I thought Mike Tyson retired years ago.

I'm sure the fighters are happy for those who contributed to their payday.
