It reminds me with Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, I think people were not wrong for saying Mike was still on shape and able to beat Jake, during the match, Mike was only holding his punch and defending in order to keep getting punched by Jake.

How about the recent fight between Manny Pacquiao and Mario Barrios? Does this also have a negative impact on the so-called nostalgia? I think the negative impact of nostalgia in this fight was nullified by the judges by giving a majority draw. Lol.

Anyway, I also agree that if one bet because of the nostalgia feeling, he might end up losing the bet in most cases. What is past is past, especially in sports where the young ones replace the old. the old one may have the best attribute during his prime but remember this old one had already diminished all of his exlusive attributes that made him a star during his prime. We cannot think that the performance would be the same since the body of the old isn't as reactive as he was younger.

We should take ex athletes or pro players for fun when they back, you know their "motivation" already different. When they were athletes, their motivation is to be the best. When they weren't, their motivation is for making money.

I agree, just bet for them for fun and do not put a serious amount to think that they can always pull a stunt to win against the younger, stronger generation.

This was the thing I supposed to say or want to mentioned about on which MP vs Barrios on which this is the perfect example. For sure there are tons of people who do made out some bets for MP to win up but since the fight ended up on a DRAW then that do brings out that disappointment in regarding into the decision. If we do try to observe and look at with those scorecards then we can actually say that MP should have won that fight and some been saying that he was robbed on that one. Going back into that nostalgia matters then it wouldnt be so bad to make out some bets as long you are just that making use of the amount that you can afford to lose or simply literally making no all in betting then you would be just that fine. It cant be avoid for sometime that you would be making out some bets on which considering a specific fighter or athlete do make out some remarkable numbers or history then you wont be able to have that kind of resist on making up some bet on which it isnt bad at all. What makes things messy is on the time or moment that you do lose control specially into the amount that you are betting on which this is that what matter the most but if you are that betting for fun and wanting to have that nostalgia feeling as long you do have that control then it would be just that fine.
