Disappointing. I guess this was obvious, but it is clear Tyson can’t do this. ---

Shocking, right? Balance is off, legs are weak. Maybe he gets lucky and lands one, but I doubt it. ---

Another nothingburger round. ---

That stupid tongue waving by Paul. I’d like Tyson to just do one massive punch. Come on, hit him! ---

Yeah, stream down for me too. Not like anything was happening anyway. Even if he hits him it just won’t hit like it used to. Turns out old men don’t box for a reason. ---

I’m not sure which is worse, the fight or the commentary. ---

My stream died again in the 3rd. Seems like I’m not missing anything. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > Seems like I’m not missing anything. Nope. They are dancing around avoiding the big hit so almost nothing is happening. Very dull. Paul is clearly ahead I think on points just by virtue of throwing more punches that did nothing. ---

Saw earlier today on Facebook a supposedly leaked script of the fight. Said Paul wins by TKO in the 8th. Soon see if there was anything toit. ---

Booooooring fight. I wish I had done anything else than watch this. The best part of it all was posting here. ETA: And seeing the Taylor v Serrano fight before this one…that was good. ---

It’s a moral victory for old guys. ---

He did well for a 58 year old, but those legs were slow as could be. He mainly stood and just kind of shuffled around a bit. ---

Streaming quality was pretty good watching 10 to 5 minutes behind. It also let me skip the between round corner stuff.
