You know what wasn't fake? The actual title bout of the evening: Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano.
Seems to me like the whole thing was set up for that. JP and Tyson were just the entertainment.
I was watching it to re-create me watching tyson with my dad.
I will give tyson one thing though, lets all give him credit for that first 45 seconds. If you watch that, it looks like 1986 all over again. Tyson came bursting out of the corner swinging so fast it was awesome to see that again.
Then at the end of round 2 he sat down like a dad not a boxer.
By round 3 i was kind of worried mike was gonna get hurt and felt a little bad. But I think by round 4 I knew that JP had won by decision already, and he wasn't gonna knock him down.
I feel like it was one of those sports memes we all get emotional watching when they let the special needs kid win.
The real fight was the ladies, the men were just the cheerleaders last night.
