      … its quite a profitable grift, to keep staging ludicrously mismatched clown fights.

      He’s just fine being the clown.

      Like… he went for below the belt, takedown style grabs.

      … In a boxing match.

      He is a clown person.

      EDIT:

      Super/Regular Eyepatch Wolf has very good, more throrough explanations of what I mean here.

      I guess its not as obvious to those who’ve not done competetive combat sports or martial arts of some kind.

        I can’t imagine being so mentally broken I’d take a broken jaw for attention in a fight I had no chance of winning

        Most of boxing is a literal grift, he didn’t beat Tyson, not even a 50 year old tyson, he would fucking flatten this clown id he wanted, but I am guessing they made a lot more money by tyson losing.

        Betting scams all around

      It’s to keep an audience, he needs it for the next upcoming scam attempt.

      Yeah, comparing the two it’s incredible that they’re in the same division.

      Also, having your jaw broken will make you do that same expression, since you can’t close your mouth.

        They’re not really in the same division, in the real world. The clown would be cruiser weight and the boxer is a heavy weight. It should’ve been an exhibition match but in Florida, somehow, they sanctioned it as a real fight.

    Oh I hadn’t seen these actual photos lined up quite like this. That’s quite something. How wonderful.

    I hope the next time he thinks twice about getting in the ring and fades into obscurity instead. He deserves worse than he got.
