Exhibition or not, we're dead poolers and a fighter way older than most and already - possibly - showing signs of speech and cognitive impairment will get in the ring at which point two guys who think they have something to prove will each try and inflict such damage on the other that his ability to perform basic motor functions is compromised to the point the referee deems him unfit to continue. Y'know, boxing! I actually think there's a good chance of Tyson winning tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, very hard to call - but, Tyson's noticably heading towards that mid-paced monotone semi-mumble Ali had in his final fighting days. And, we're dead poolers hereabouts. If he wins, what chance there's a rematch with more than $15 million on offer for 59-year-old Tyson? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But neither really did Logan Paul despite the result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never mentioned on the Forum afaics. Curry and Honeyghan are in another epic battle, then, because our Lloyd hasn't been that well for a while: https://worldinsport.com/lloyd-honeyghan-ragamuffin-man/ The only good news for Lloyd is that he's currently enjoying the triple whammy of sitting on my DDP, HPDP and Deathrace teams and my recent selections in most dead pools have been largely shite. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
