Recently, the UFC icon Michael Bisping talked about the Tyson vs Paul fight. He even shed some light on Mayweather’s performance against the YouTuber turned boxer.
‘The Count’ said, “Exhibition bout, let’s be honest, it’s an exhibition bout, it’s not a fight. I do have concerns for Logan Paul, though. I think Logan Paul might get knocked the f*** out in this. In exhibition bout, you’re not supposed to go for the knockouts but do you really see any world that you can imagine where Mike Tyson isn’t going to try and knockout Logan Paul.”
“Logan Paul, we just saw him against Floyd Mayweather, went the distance, okay so there was no winner, it’s an exhibition bout same thing.”
“Floyd carried him, let’s be honest, he did. Floyd should have been embarrassed with that performance,” he said.
