It's only staged in the sense that it's a 27 year old boxing a 58 year old. They still hit each other, it's not like the punches were fake.

It was "staged" in the sense that there weren't any actual stakes for the fight. We just saw a 58yr old man and a 28yr old fuckface just meander around each other instead of actually boxing.

It wasn't what I hoped for, but exactly what I expected. I only turned it on because someone told me it was free on Netflix halfway through the event.

The only thing I hoped for in that match was for Tyson to smack the living shit out of Jake. That would have been the best outcome. That being said it was never going to end as anything other than Jake running around the ring.

Every single one of these "old vs young" fights is only meant to drive conversation about boxing. It's a marketing ploy, not only that it's working. Incredibly well. To say that Jake Paul is the face of boxing is not an understatement. It is a sad indication of where the sport has fallen.

That being said, they still fucking hit each other. Call it a hard sparring match, whatever. Barrios vs Ramos was solid.
