And good for him for doing what works.

Jake Paul isnāt ducking a fight just because some stranger called him out and challenged him.
I donāt know if Jakeās fights are real or fixed, but if he can go the distance with a washed up Woodley, he has at least a chance if he were to fight Belfort, I mean itās not exactly prime TRTitor that we saw Saturday night, and I think half the fucking dopes on this forum would have a 50/50 shot at the Holyfield we saw Saturday.
I see the Paul vs Vitor fight if it were to happen, Paul constantly circling and jabbing and being quite hard for Vitor to land on, obviously thereās no way of telling how Paul would handle Vitorās blitzes, but Iāll also say that Vitorās chin has been gone for a decade and that Paul also has a puncherās chance in the fight. Most likely would end in most people feeling Vitor Belfort was the aggressor in most rounds but Paul miraculously is awarded another split decision.
I just canāt see it. Boxing has always been a part of Vitorās game and the bigger gloves are more forgiving as far as his chin goes. Heād have to take a clean hit. I think you are overestimating Jake Paulās abilities. I could be wrong.

One thing is for certain. This place has a throbbing hard-on for Jake Paul.

Pretty aggressive there mister.
Triller said this was an actual boxing match.
I listened to morning kombat earlier, according to them this was an exhibition, that promotion lied and the Florida athletic commission is a joke.
Holyfield almost fell out of the ring after missing a hook, the man was completely off balance (has documented cognitive issues), and had no business being in that ring at almost 60.
Vitor has as much responsibility as the promotion, heās not some passive victim here.
I still say his reaction after winning and his post fight speech were embarrassing.
As an exhibition, this fight should have looked more like Tyson vs Roy.
Not vitor roaring after beating on an elderly legend.
It was a real bummer seeing Holyfield done that way.
Enjoy your evening.

All good, no worries man.
You make some great points.
Iām probably overthinking the whole thing too.
Vitor (like you mentioned), was kind of in a no win situation. He needed to make an impact in order to generate attention-to get a Paul fight or someone else.
Holyfield needed the money and probably thought, he could get this guy out of there quick. Iād imagine he saw what Mercer did to Tim, and some of the more recent bouts of mma vs boxers, probably didnāt respect mma fightersās boxing. Who knows.
Like someone mentioned, theyāre fighting for money. Exhibition or not. I actually enjoyed watching that shit show, up until this fight.
Triller should have scraped this fight all together, moved Tito vs Andy to the main event. It would have been completely fine. They could have rescheduled vitor vs Oscar once he got better from Covid. Thatās a much more reasonable match up.
I watched Holyfield as a kid, like a lot of guys here. He was one of my dadās favorite fighters, so thereās a lot of nostalgia there.
Iām sure thatās part of my reaction here. These guys have paid their dues.
I just donāt want to see one of these old legends get embarrassed, hurt bad, or worse-thatās where Iām at.

Iāve actually grown more empathetic since having kids, but I get that.
Combat sports will always be a guilty pleasure of mine though.
I know what you mean. I hate this woke garbage as well, itās infecting everything. I think thatās why weāre all so passionate about combats sports here-we donāt want that shit getting into fighting. Itās like the last place I donāt see it really.
We could all use a break from politics.
But, one of the things I like about this place-
One second someone is calling a guy a bitch made cocksucker, a day later theyāre having a civil conversation-all while waiting for Paige van zant to finally show her butthole.
