Yea, that just proves the Tyson vs Paul was all staged. Once a fighter, always a fighter.
Tyson is a monster even at 58. If it was real, Tyson would have knocked him out by the second round.

Lol. I seem to remember some Watchtowers about competition and violence in sports and TV in the 1980s. I ignored them. Wife #1 the "pioneer" didn't forget and accused me on being "a man of violence" while I was watching the 49ers in a football play-off one weekend, caped with an old John Wayne movie! She stomped out of the house. Evidently, it was to complain to an elder neighbor 2 blocks away. When she got there, the entire family and another elder were watching the same things! lol. ( the family recounted the story to me years later). :)

Balaamsass2, I remember hearing (reading) about that ex. Didn't she keep running to the elders about every issue with you. Did all that ratting you out help her climb the JW social ladder to become head toilet cleaner?

Everyone is disappointed and know the fight was staged. They all know Tyson held back. Didn't even try to hit Paul hard body shot or uppercut.
Dana White said the match was free if you had netflix so no complaints.

Moomanchu When I was in the org it seemed most brothers were very much into football and other sports. Which looking back makes no sense and makes me wonder why? It felt like an overcompensating to be masculine.
Shouldn't football be deemed unchristian?
Ha ha, not quite. I always used to think the real reason was because football "soccer" was a nice male occupation and they were therefore unlikely to run across too many young unnattached females, therefore the bosses in Crooklyn weren't too pressed about JW men being a little OTT obsessed with it. I'm quite sure if they could they would have banned it but whilst JW men were thinking about fooball they weren't thinking about sex.
prove me wrong :)) :))

While I was tempted to say that the Tyson/Jake Paul fight was scripted, I changed my mind when I heard Tyson say the following at the end of the match:
"Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25 lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won."
Even if he exaggerated a bit, this is likely the real reason why he was half the speed he was 9 months ago, before he got sick. And as for him not trying to throw punches in the last few rounds, simple: He missed Jake a few times and probably realized he wasn't fast enough. So, he got real defensive.
And I don't buy the idea that it was scripted for the simple fact that it was a sanctioned fight. Hence, illegal to fix it. Hence, even if Tyson had signed an NDA and spilled the beans later, he wouldn't lose a dime as the NDA would be unenforceable. There would be way too much to loose for the promoters and Jake Paul if something like that came out.
People say its fix cause we all wanted to see Rocky Balboa 6 come to life. But life isn't a movie, even if we sometime see it unfold, live, on TV.

Interesting theory, but anymore there are a lot women into football to. They like watching fit men run around in tight pants.
This video is what I think of JAY UU's bro's after singing songs at the kingdom hall, door knocking and having their wives boss them around.

Since Jay Double U's like football so much I now wonder if there will be football in the new system? They could call it "The PFL" The Paradise Football Leauge. The two conferences would be called the The "OTC" and the "NTC" the Old Testament Conference and the New Testament Conference.
Imagine the teams names, logo's and mascots! Names like, The Reedemers, Vindicators or Spirit Warriors so awesome!!! The level of play would be so much better with perfect humans. Not to mention perfect cheerleaders. OK that's it I'm going back to the meetings.

I didn't get interested in sports until I was around 9 or 10, then I dove in. I don't think a JW should watch violent sports when the religion is so anti-violence, but I was hooked on almost all sports. Maybe not jai-alai. But almost everything else. I don't even think I rationalized it. Saturday was the weekend meeting, Sunday morning was preaching, and Sunday afternoon Jehovah took a backseat to the goddamned NFL! So, yeah... I'm a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to violent sports.
As for Tyson/Paul, that's just a money grab, and a hugely successful one. Should Tyson have been fighting at 58? NO ONE should be fighting at 58, especially against a 27-year-old in good physical shape, and especially not after a long career in boxing with its attendant head trauma and brain issues. That said, I'd be tempted to step into the ring myself for $20 million, if not for the very real risk of a bad brain injury. Gotta protect whatever's left.

moomanchu/that's an old clip but funny and all I can see in my head is the automobile -- oh my.
Ahh the best, Walter Payton (#? I forget too lazy to look up) and Joe Montana. GO Niners❤️ and the Levi's Stadium. Not really into football but small doses fun. Footballers are or were said to be the most conditioned athletes - would seem boxers would be.
