Amanda Serrano got absolutely jobbed by the judges, that was a disgrace and so typical for boxing.
As far as Tyson, he was a 3-1 underdog on my gambling website and probably should have been a 25-1 underdog.

| We know it was glorified sparring/rigged but the little bow at the end was just annoying. I get that it's supposed to be sold as respect and humility for the story they're telling...but to sell it as real...Mike was behind and would have clocked him to win....if it were real. |

| Mike says maybe Logan next, and Logan responds something to the effect.. "Mike, you know I would eff you up." Sad that they have the balls to say stuff like this. Of course it's only because Mike is 58 yrs old. I just hate how Mike is allowing this, stooping to this level. If Mike was 25 yrs old, Logan and Jake Paul would be crapping their pants. |

That's job #2. She headbutted Amanda in their last fight. Taylor's a dirty fighter. Amanda's not the first fighter she headbutted. It's a part of her arsenal.
Mike says he's not done. In my mind he is and I believe he knows it. I don't know if he needs the money but I think, that's his motivation. He made $20 million for this fiasco.

Im 100% sure Tyson as a teenage amateur would have f'ed these two up easily and at his best could have easily taken on both of them at the same time and knocked them both out in Round 1. Tyson was so amazing and so explosive that even though his style is all wrong against Foreman (as you saw vs Smokin Joe) and/or Liston (against D'Amato's prodigy of the Peekaboo style Floyd Patterson), I would have loved to see if he was good enough to break the stylistic mismatch against two of the greatest ever. Ditto against Lewis and Bowe from his own generation when all are at their best. Its the same stylistic mismatch I would see if Floyd Mayweather Jr dared to fight Tommy Hearns at Welterweight. Hearns would be his worst matchup amongst all the 4 Kings. I think you saw this too when there were lots of murmurs of Mayweather ducking Paul the Punisher Williams when Williams was the guy no one wanted to fight. |

Anybody hoping we've seen the last of these boxing matches....well I think they are just getting started with the money they made. |
As long as these events make money they'll be made. It's not boxing, it's entertainment. e.g. Exaggeration! How much would you pay to see P Diddy fight Jay-Z? Put known names in the 4 square canvas jungle. If you build it they will come.

Usyk won UD on all 3 scorecards: 116-112
Yeah Fury has no chance vs Usyk. No need for a third fight. Dude punching with backhanded slaps. |

I thought is was closer. It could have gone either way. The ringside observer 115-116 was a better scorecard.
