I'm fully in on Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul because Tyson can knock anyone out at any moment

I'm in on this fight. Mike Tyson, one of the most ferocious boxers of all time, could knock anyone out at any moment. And that's how you sell fights. I'm in no matter what and it's free.

The fight was postponed and eventually happened in November 2024. Tyson did not knock out Paul; Paul won via unanimous decision in a relatively tame fight.

Francis Ngannou actually won the fight against Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury, they boxed Tyson Fury, Francis Ngannou this weekend... Francis Ngannou also has the, the perfect, he like champion fighters... Split decision. But a lot of people were saying that he won.

The official result was a split decision victory for Tyson Fury, making Ngannou the technical loser regardless of public opinion.

I could beat up Amanda Serrano in a boxing match

I said the one thing [Amanda Serrano] might have me on is cardio, but if I could... I'd keep her at bay with my jab. She would never get inside me.

Serrano is a multi-division world champion; Hank is a podcaster with 0.1 miles of treadmill cardio experience. He would get destroyed.

Jake Paul purposely lost to Tommy Fury to make the rematch more profitable

The conspiracy part of Twitter... they were saying that Jake Paul, in order to sell the next fight purposely knew that it would be bad if he won this fight. I think the storyline's better for a second fight... because no one would want to watch another one if he just beat him.

There is no evidence the fight was fixed, and Jake Paul's subsequent career move to fight Nate Diaz suggests he was genuinely looking to move on after a loss.

The betting odds for Molly McCann (+380) vs. Aaron Blanchfield are out of whack

I will though just say that the Molly McCann price to me seems out of whack. Aaron Blanchfield's a great grappler but minus 400 given what Molly has done of late, that surprises me.

Aaron Blanchfield dominated McCann and won via first-round submission, suggesting the high odds were actually accurate.

I have kind of a stay woke actually on Mayweather. I think that Mayweather isn't actually illiterate but he likes to play it up because that way he has an excuse when he doesn't fill his taxes out correctly.
