    I’m here for both of those things. I only wish it was Mike Tyson in his prime so we could really see a total annihilation of this asswipe.

      Paul wouldn’t have challenged Tyson in his prime, his professional career is a sham.

        That dude legit scared me through the computer screen during his backyard brawling days. It scared me to know people like him existed. Did you see the fight where he burst a dude’s eye, and fucking blinded him?

          What’s even scarier is that he got absolutely rolled when it came to pros.

          You’re not wrong, dude was champ in the non pro arena, and as soon as he stepped in it was just as shocking with different winners.

            Absolutely! I remember going from “holy shit this guy is terrifying and we have video evidence of him being able to kick ass” to “what the fuck? These not-as-terrifying looking people are messing him up bad!”

      It’s all scripted so it would turn out however they wrote it. Boxing is scripted and every altercation and weigh in fight/drama in boxing and UFC/MMA is set up and fake

        Yup, I had the same thought. The slap was just to generate hype. The fight was pretty tame. This was just a money making event.
