Yes, we give Mike his credit and due in this fight, but we all know that he is not going to win against a young fighter in Jake Paul. Others including me are disappointed as there are no more actions in the ring between the two.
If you knew that old is not going to win against young, why are you disappointed with the result? Either you wanted to Mike to be knocked out after being exhausted. Or expected a top high speed performance from an old man. Even though the fight was claimed to be a professional, with special rules, it still looked like an exhibition with nuances. From my point of view, the idea of this fight was to see legendary boxer once again in the ring, then to see one boxer is devastating his opponent.
We can't take away people from being disappointed here, if you look at the thread, majority wanted for Mike to win this contest despite his age. He is sort of the sentimental favorites and we almost believed that. Because during the pre-fight, we've seen in the videos that he is working very hard and we thought that, "why not, maybe he can still pull the trigger here".
But that the back of our minds, we all know that Mike will get tired and that's what happens here. And during the fight itself, there is no round that we thought that Mike can win. Yes, rounds 1-2 we score it for him, but there are no movements at all, that spark inside the ring that fans are going to remember in this fight. That's why there are a strong sentiments that this is a obvious set up, no knockout win by either side.
