    Age is just a number....




    ... and 58 is too big a number to be doing this kind of madness...

    Not sure that’s entirely true mate. I’ll take being hit with some padding in the way over a knuckle. Think that’s the point.

    It wont make any difference really... 4oz is nothing It's still two big guys punching one another as hard as they possibly can and if you get punched in the face it still does a hell of amount of damage without head gear on.

    It's a fight that's what I like about boxing.... football is worse it's all decided off the pitch via rules and regulations. The equivalent I suppose is rehydration clauses but there isn't I don't think ?

    I agree tbh especially boxing.... it's a young man's sport and there's a reason why most greats end their careers in what their late 30s at best losing to people from caravan sites.

    See Tyson's last fights he was a slow gormless whelp that couldn't move out the way and was pulverised.... it's was 25 years ago or something.

    I can't see Tyson lasting long at all.. that doesn't meant he can't take out Paul early if Pauls made of glass or starts backing off and looking away.

    Well yes but I’m still choosing a punch with more padding over one with less padding.

    Sure byt It won't save your jaw nose eyes or liver ribs mate. They use heavier ones in training and then drop to 10 anyway makes their hands a bit faster but the weight of the punch is slightly less.

    They can break every part of the opponent still.

    Two eight minute rounds would be good though. Perhaps just one round of 16 minutes.

    If Tyson connects with one, even at his age, Paul will be getting a good night's sleep <laugh>

    A fight so big that everyone will find out the result tomorrow and only watch it if Tyson sparks him.

    3rd round and Mike's knackered.

    Showing his age.

    As expected no matter who you are you cannot fight once you're old.

    Paul is the king of exploitation.

    It was embarrassing for both fighters imo.

    Probably some of the worst boxing I have seen.

    Combined with the technical problems plaguing Netflix.

    Disaster
