RBR ***Official*** Sherdog Sanctioned Paul vs Tyson 11/15 5:30PM ET ( Netflix )

Jake took on fury who was someone that had way more experience than him and was probably too early

He still got no respect for it.

Jakes one of those guys that is never not going to have those types of haters around his career, doesn't matter what he does.

Even if he fought and beat a named boxer, they would call it rigged, paid off or something else.

Some people can't win, no matter what they do
Dude is 27 fighting guys that are geriatric, aren't boxers and are much smaller than him. He gets credit for being a competent boxer, but that's it. If he wants to be taken seriously as a boxer he can work his way up the rankings in actual fights, not glorified exhibition matches.
 
He had no movement because he is near fucking 60 dude

I suspect there is something wrong with the knee he had strapped up.

Not that it would have changed much. 31 year age gap just a bridge too far unfortunately.

Also thought the 14 ounce gloves worked against Mike. Took away any chance of a one punch knock out which was his only logical path to victory, though with how he looked tonight wasn't happening anyway

Man you're always in here defending Jake lol. He's a loser privileged rich kid who found a way to make more money, by fighting old, past their prime guys. If he did the normal thing and worked his way up fighting legit contenders his own age, no one would be hating this much. He's not a good boxer, just like Andre Ward almost laughed when asked if Jake was as well. He's embarrassing.

Can't win? The guy is filthy rich dating one of the hottest chicks in the world, he's winning lol.

As for boxing though, how can anyone respect a guy fighting old MMA guys below his weight class. This Tyson fight was a disgrace. I don't know if he held back or couldn't finish him, either way it's ridiculous.

If Jake cared about being respected as a boxer, he would have taken different path. This is circus shit, no respect expected legit boxing wise.
 
At this rate, we’re going to see Jake fighting Elton John in 2025.


I felt bad watching this fight. On a pirate stream. I stole the product and still feel like I’ve helped contribute to the increasing degeneracy of American culture.

Goddamn are we a pathetic culture or what? We just watched a senior citizen get punched in the face by a juiced up jock who hasn’t even reached his own athletic prime yet.

Looking back on this, I think I now understand how hopeless life felt in Ancient Rome when the emperors all went mad and society hastened its own demise as fast as it could.

A man just made 20 million dollars for bullying a man old enough to be his grandfather.

We’re ready for the asteroid now.

It's a tricky position to be in because he's a big name


So, his team and promotion want to find that balance between fights that actually challenge him, while simultaneously being able to sell tickets and ppvs.

He has 4 years of competitive, if he were to fight pure boxers at that level, he'd be fighting amateurs or early pros.

Almost all of those guys don't have a name, so you can't really build an event with them.

That's why he's fought Nate, Anderson, Tyson.

He's offered millions to Ali's grandson, was scheduled to fight hasim rahman Jr, fought Tommy fury, based on this, I dont think his team is actively looking for easy fights.

But, a lot of it just comes down to business and trying to find that balance in opponents and business.

There really isn't a lot of options when you take all of this in mind. At least not until he gets good enough to challenge ranked names with profile.

Fury rematch should probably be next though.

I think I've just analyzed all of this stuff very deeply.

Most of you guys don't put much thought into it at all, are ruled by hate of the kid and respectfully, don't seem to know much about the nuanced layers of boxing both on a technical level, and also how you put on events / build a fighter.

I dont have such limitations.

Doesn't mean I'm necessarily depending him, I'm just a whole lot accurate than people like you are about his career.

I'm more so defending the truth from shitty thinking perpetuated by haters who are almost always deeply entrenched in their emotions, not any semblance of reason or fight iq.
