Mike Tyson Vs Jake Paul? (1 Viewer)

[Acrobat7]

Two despicable people beating each other's heads in. A victory for humanity?

 

[kutta]

After almost getting knocked out early, Nate Diaz hung in with Paul pretty well. Nate has always been a decent boxer by MMA standards, but nowhere near what Tyson is (was). And Nate is probably more washed up that Tyson at this point, even though he's much younger.

It will be interesting to see how Paul handles being hit by Tyson. Old or not, he's never faced anyone with close to the power that Tyson has (had...).

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I have no idea about Jake Paul’s fighting skills but a lot of people are acting like this is the Mike Tyson of their youths when the guy is nearly 60. I hope Tyson wins but it’s also possible he gets seriously hurt assuming this is full go.

Yup. 60 year old men should not be engaging in this type of sport. He's could easily tear something with the strain he's putting on his ligaments and tendons.

If he gets injured, sure, all bets are off.
Paul could also get injured.

And you're comparing 58 year old Mike Tyson to a regular Joe at 58. It's Mike Tyson.

Mike Tyson at 58 is still somebody I wouldn't mess with. Maybe you would.

 

[offdee]

So what’s everyone’s theory on why Netflix isn’t charging anything to existing subscribers to watch this? Why not at least charge the price of renting a movie ($5)? They’d make boatloads.

My guess the marketing strategy is to get as many eyes on it as possible and have it end up being a great fight (mostly staged). And then when they rematch charge higher.

In a street fight….yeah of course not.

But in a boxing match I simply can’t see him doing much.

That’s my guess too. Will this ultimately be staged?

Tyson doesn’t brush his teeth?! Gross.

brohans i want iron mike to end this pile of crap so badly that they start making video games about tyson again i want him to don flamenco this jagbag so hard take that to the bank brochachos

 

[FarFromHome]

Watched that clip of Tyson being serious watching Paul clips. In his stone cold voice he said Paul is a manufactured killer while he is a natural born killer. The way he said it was chilling. Such a bad ***. I grew up on Tyson. I love Tyson. When he lost to Buster I shed a tear. I hope he crushes Paul. I also have nothing but respect for what Paul has accomplished. I'm team Mike

 

[NewlyRetired]

I love combat sports and follow them religiously. I have even seen every single Jake Paul fight.

But I can't for the life of me give any sort of guess on this fight because I still don't fully understand if it is a work or a shoot or something in between (I am leaning towards this being in between).

Same. I have Netflix and prolly won't watch it live. I'll catch the highlights

Also this is a proof of concept for them. Probably want to gauge how many new eyeballs it attracts and how many current subs tune in. Next big PPV fight they will probably charge something to current subscribers so they can see the impact.

One thing we know for sure is that Tyson will give full effort. Dude has money. He is gonna try and win. When Tyson lost to Buster back in 1990 I actually cried. Tyson was everything I wanted in a champion. Such a sad day. That was the day that allowed the UFC to surpass my interest in boxing a few years later. 1990? Crazy. I don't have a problem with Jake Paul. Dude made his brand. Even at 57, Tyson is gonna give him problems. Hopefully.

Feel the same way. I thought he'd never lose. I hated Robin Givens for years. Tyson in his prime turns this dude into Dinty Moore beef stew in under 60 seconds. However, his prime was 30+ years ago. Rooting for him in a serious way.

Tyson in his prime turns this dude into Dinty Moore beef stew in under 60 seconds.

I have been trying to come up with a comp from Tyson’s day.

The best I can think of is Peter McNeeley. Peter trained about ten minutes from where I live so I was familiar with him. Peter was more of a brawler than Paul but he had a ton more experienece than Paul. I think Peter was something like 35-1 when he got destroyed by Tyson.

But don ‘t let Peter’s record fool you. It was even worse back in the 80/90’s where tomato cans were used to beef up many boxers records in the hope for that one shot.

I definitely see the likeness and comp, nice work. Tyson from about maybe Spring of 85 to when he fought Berbick in late 86 was fighting dudes like every 3 weeks. Their quality obviously varied from the useless (Marvis Frazier) to actually pretty good (Bonecrusher Smith). Whomever he fought in that 18 months to 2 years, he was utterly terrifying. Never seen a heavyweight before with his combination of power, head movement and frightening hand speed.

Yeah he was unbelievable. But he had a few weaknesses that were exploited by great boxers like Holyfield and Lennox Lewis.

Even Tyson in his absolute prime would have had some problems with these two guys. But it would have been great to watch them in their primes vs each other.

Lewis had a glass jaw but his strength, and size and jack hammer of a jab gave Tyson tons of issues.

I watched the Buster Douglas fight live on HBO and by the third round I was calling my uncle (who got me into boxing heavily as a kid) telling him…..Tyson is going to lose this fight.

A clear headed Tyson a year earlier would have destroyed Douglas. But James came into this fight in the best shape of his entire career and executed his fight to perfection.

Tyson on the other hand was a mess mentally, using coke, clearly did not train, and had an all new corner who were clueless and had no ****ing ice in his corner.

It was a fiasco.

Yeah Douglas never looked as good before or since that fight, he was at his absolute peak and Tyson was sloppy and distracted. That said, there was a long count after Tyson knocked him down, forget which round and really if you watch it again, Tyson should have won, despite not fighting well on the night.

I guess with all the other distractions it was coming. The fight with Lewis in 02 was awful to watch, hard to call if they fought in like 87-90. A lot different for sure. Think he beats Lewis in that era, but can never be sure. 85-88 he was truly unbeatable, or seemed it. What he did to Spinks in 88 was scary. Despite the flaws (susceptible to a much bigger fighter with a long jab for example), not really seen a heavyweight do that to another in his prime.

Despite the flaws (susceptible to a much bigger fighter with a long jab for example), not really seen a heavyweight do that to another in his prime.

So I analyzed the long count many many times. Douglas was more than able to get up….fighters are taught to hear the count and Douglas picked up the refs count perfectly. It was a flash knockdown. He got stunned but he was highly coherent.

Tyson on the other hand took so much punishment….it was really bad. A stronger finisher would have beat him even quicker that particular night.

Yeah 85-89 Tyson was unbeatable. And Michael Spinks had zero…..I mean zero business being in the ring with Tyson. He narrowly beat a way out of his prime Larry Holmes (that decision was hot garbage and I personally believe it was done to keep Rocky Marciano’s 49-0 in tact). You gotta beat a unified world champ to take the belts. Spinks did nothing of a sort to the great Easton Assassin Larry Holmes. Then in a rematch Holmes again did enough and they still gave the decision to an undersized weak Michael Spinks.

That was such a mismatch (Tyson vs Spinks)……Spinks was dead on arrival. He wanted no part of it. That body shot that put him on his knee on the first knockdown….lol. Anyway.

Tyson was a beast. Unfortunately he has looked nothing like that guy since the Douglas miracle in Tokyo.

I understand he looks in great shape. But I seriously doubt he can do much if Paul has any semblance of real boxing skills. He is 58 and I am sorry but your hand eye, muscles, footwork…..all of it is not even in the same stratosphere as a young man in great physical shape and actively fighting.

It will be interesting.

I hope Paul doesn't take a dive 30 seconds in.
Suppose he gets paid either way but please Jake, don't go down until Iron Mike has a chance to use your head like a punching bag for our entertainment.

 

[Todem]

If Tyson still has knockout power this will be a short fight. jake has never fought a real boxer and leaves himself exposed all the time.

I can buy that. Tyson always has a haymakers chance. Because he throws bombs on the inside.

If Paul tries to fight inside very early on he is nuts. Because Tyson will throw haymaker bombs early and try to end it quickly.

With it being only 2 minute rounds this is really in reality a 5 round fight.

3-1 underdog. I may throw $50 on Iron Mike for ****s and giggles and to have some action on this…..most likely farcical exhibition.

 

[FarFromHome]

I don't know for sure if this Paul boxing stuff is staged or not. The big difference between Tyson and his other opponents is that Tyson is a psycho savage. Once the bell rings and after he gets hit once Mike becomes Mike. All the stuff that may or may not have been staged is off and Tyson going for the the kill. He is either gonna knock Paul out quick or get knocked out quick because he is nearly 60 years old.

It's the way he looks at him in that Face to Face interview when he says something like that dream won't come true or something to that effect.

The only thing I know about Paul has been what I've read in this thread and a friend or two's take. He's everything I can't stand about modern social media mania. And more.

So as we approach, the thought of him beating Tyson and what that will do for him makes me cringe. He will be around even longer and hold onto it forever. Literally, the last guy you want to see take Iron Mike out. It's akin to him and his ilk/generation taking out an older one. Oh how he will milk it. Ugh.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

With eight two-minute rounds, I'd expect Tyson by decision to be even longer odds than Tyson in 60 seconds.

Totally agree. The guy is famous just because of how "society" is now. It makes me want to puke. I hope Tyson pounds him.

[NewlyRetired]

Here are some interesting quotes from an article I read

===============

From 2005:
"I do not have the guts to be in this sport anymore," Tyson said after that fight. "I don't want to disrespect the sport that I love. My heart is not into this anymore. I'm sorry for the fans who paid for this."

From just before the cancelled fight
"I had a big ulcer, two-and-a-half inches, and it was bleeding," Tyson said. "All my friends were calling me like I was dying. I asked the doctor if I was going to die, and she didn't say 'No.' ... You wouldn't believe what I endured from my ulcer. I lost 26 pounds."

"That was the moment they [MVP] should have realized that this was actually a bad idea," said Matchroom Boxing CEO Eddie Hearn, one of the sport's top promoters.

Other comments:
Hearn will be ringside to support his champion, Taylor, in the co-main event. However, Hearn told BBC Sport last month he will leave his seat before the main event because he doesn't want to support a bout with a fighter Tyson's age.

"The reality is that 20 years ago when Mike Tyson retired from the sport he was shot, completely finished," said Hearn, who sued Paul for defamation in 2022 after the fighter accused him of bribing a boxing judge. "It was actually sad to watch then, 20 years ago."

"...You only need to speak to him and look at him to know this guy should not be in a ring again. ... If I was Jake Paul, I'd just feel a little bit embarrassed to be honest with you. ... This is dangerous, irresponsible and, in my opinion, disrespectful to the sport of boxing."

With eight two-minute rounds, I'd expect Tyson by decision to be even longer odds than Tyson in 60 seconds.

Unless I am mistaken, the 2 minute rounds were negotiated by Tyson's side because they knew the normal 3 minute rounds would be beyond his ability to last.

So while a decision is still really unlikely if it is a legit fight, I think the 2 minute rounds make it more likely than less.
