Mike Tyson Vs Jake Paul? (2 Viewers)

This whole thing is one big choreographed show. You all know this right?
Actually no, it’s a sanctioned fight.
And? It's a circus
That doesn’t mean it choreographed.

Being a spectacle is mutually exclusive from being a staged/choreogrpahed fight.

Tyson certainly seems to be taking it seriously. If Paul isn’t, he’s gonna get KTFO.
The whole run up is choreographed.

I am not sure how closely you follow combat sports but all big money fights (especially in MMA and boxing) used some form of choreograph material to sell the fights to the public. 99% of the "bad blood" wrestling style selling is all just a work.

I do not follow, but I do get that. This one just seems way more WWE than any other I can remember

Right. They gotta put butts in the seats , the more controversy the more interest , the more money everyone makes . That being said bad blood happens all the time . During the build up fighters and camps say a lot of crazy stuff and people get sick of each other . Tyson has been taking Jake as a kid who doesnt really belong in the same ring as him , even at Tysons current age . The press conference the other day at the Arena the fight is taking place at , Tyson was visibly annoyed with the antics of Paul and the people doubting him at his age . Tyson is still capable , even against a guy half his age . If Tyson was fighting someone like Wilder he would get killed , but hes fighting a guy who hasnt paid his dues , hasnt fought anyone worth talking about. This is the comparison i like to make , put this Paul in with anyone Tyson fought , all the way back to Tysons first fight , and all the guys he beat coming up padding his record and learning his trade. Paul wouldnt beat even 1 of them .Pauls in his prime right? Thats the argument , now take Tyson as he is RIGHT NOW , at 57 , and put him in with everyone Paul has fought .Tyson kills every one of them ,Thats how people need to compare these guys , not by age or size , but by who they are and who they fought. The great trainer Teddy Atlas just said on his podcast that if this is a real sanctioned fight, that Paul may have made a huge mistake , he said Tyson can still punch and if he lands either hand on Pauls chin its over.

The arrogance of Jake Paul to challenge Mike Tyson's manhood and legacy with disrespectful comments is astoundingly reckless. Jake has only pushed the beast mode buttons in Iron Mike, a product of Brownsville, Brooklyn,N.Y. The core of Iron Mike is still very present. On fight day, Jake Paul will come to a reckoning.

That Paul spoke ill of Tyson’s (deceased) daughter seems like something that could be a grave miscalculation.

That was when Tyson went to the boxing commission & asked for the fight to be sanctioned.

I believe it was debunked , Tyson would have already crushed Pauls face if he said anything about his dead daughter

Just searched it. I don’t see it being debunked. I see a lot of comments about it, including Joe Rogan criticizing Paul for having done it.

Well the reason i said debunked was i cant find any real proof it was said other than internet YouTube videos of people talking about it, in my opinion its just another internet legend started by only god knows who. Tysons never mentioned it, Paul's never mentioned it , just others talking about it . In these instances i just use common sense , and no way would Paul cross that line and no way would Tyson not bring it up , and no way he controls himself if hes even close to Paul. That event in Tysons life almost destroyed him .
 
Jake Paul will not wait for Nov. 15 to get back into a boxing ring. Paul has decided to keep the date that was slated for the blockbuster showdown with legendary heavyweight Mike Tyson and will instead face mixed martial artist and the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship's "Platinum" Mike Perry in an eight-round cruiserweight bout at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

Paul was originally scheduled to face Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 20 in an event to be livestreamed on Netflix. Tyson, 57, was forced out of the fight because of medical issues, and that fight was rescheduled for Nov. 15.

Rather than wait for the new date, Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) decided to not squander a training camp and will stay busy by facing the undefeated BKFC fighter in the event billed as "Fear No Man," which will be available via DAZN Pay Per View.
 
He should be able to handle Perry whom Paul will likely outweigh by 60 lbs.

If this was bare knuckle where Perry is 5-0, things would be different.
 
Did I hear this thing is back on for November sometime?
November 15th, I'll be watching for sure. Really want to see Tyson destroy him. 58 is pretty old but he was at another level. I just don't think Paul has it.

I am a huge Tyson fan. But I am worried for him. We are remembering the guy who knocked out Spinks in 93 seconds, but that isn't who he was at the end of his career, and certainly not now. As he aged, he had issues with bigger opponents it seemed. I hope and pray he destroys him quickly though.
 
Shocked that people think Tyson can win if it’s a real fight.

This is basically a 10-20 million dollar gift from the Paul’s who are friends with him.

Doubt Paul will try to knock him out. Spar for a few rounds and by round 4-6 Tyson’s team throws in the towel. That way Tyson can say he didn’t want to quit and his team can say they were looking out for his health.

I don’t think he had issues with bigger guys, I think it was drugs, women and a lack of focus.

Your point is still valid. I think he can beat Paul with skill but worry about a 58 y/os balance.
 
It’s a farce. And I’ll watch it lol.

It’s not though. Dudes aren’t lining up for Jake Paul’s money to let him knock them out. You can argue that Paul hasn't fought a legit opponent but has straight up knocked guys out.
Dude Tyson is 58 and has been washed since he got knocked out by James Buster Douglas come on man.

I’ve seen every fight in Tyson’s career. I grew up watching him. He was an amazing fighter in his prime, but that hasn’t been since 1988. I can’t even remember anymore. It’s been that long.

I feel like we’re having two different conversation. You said the fight was a farce and I disagreed with that.

Farce meaning…..Tyson fighting at 58 years old. I have little doubt it will be a “real” boxing match. It’s just farcical to me Tyson is fighting. He has been a “has been” for over 25 years…..maybe longer.

George Foreman in his older age actually was able to fight.

Tyson has been an unmitigated disaster for a long while. And he cuts extremely easy. He might get hurt pretty bad.

I don’t blame him for taking the money. And of course being an old time boxing fan…..I will watch out of curiosity.

Tyson doesn’t have boxing skill anymore. He lost his skills long ago. He was better at 20 than he was at 25. Was still decent after prison but wasn’t close to the same guy he was in his early 20’s.

Tyson is in his late 50’s and has lived a hard life with alcohol/drugs/surgeries/etc. If Paul wants to knock him out it will be easy but he won’t. He likes Tyson and is basically doing this so he and Tyson can both make a lot of money.
 
I gotta flip Netflix back on Nov 14th, cool
Usually have a 1-month or maybe 2 months and then we turn it back off
I've paid close to $100 for PPV fights, a month membership to Netflix seems like a pretty good deal and you get to watch the fight
Gen X'er just want to see Tyson for the memories of when he was a young fighter and thrilled us all in the 80s.
maybe Paul can beat him, never sure how good Paul really is, he's not much of a threat to have a World Title
And I don't mind that they are doing this to get rich or make money, Tyson deserves whatever he makes, hope he doesn't do any major damage to himself
I could see Tyson doing 2 or 3 of these
Foreman was 50 when he won, yes/no?
 
I'm 51 and feel pretty good for my age. I don't work out often and I'm certainly not Mike Tyson.

My point is, he looks amazing. He is still Mike Tyson. If a legit fight, I don't see how Tyson doesn't murder him in the middle of the ring.

Agreed. If they trade punches Paul does not have any defense. He throws one of his haymakers and he’s going to sleep. He’s going to need to bully Tyson. Lean on him and push him around. But to do that you have to get close. I’m not sure Paul has those inside skills.

Paul is 30 years younger and loaded to the gills on test so that’s not exactly going to be easy on 58 y/o Tyson.

If Paul is a legit boxer and can jab and keep Tyson off of him on the inside...Tyson has no shot. Full disclosure I have never watched Paul fight. But Tyson is not a boxer at all anymore and has been washed for a very long time. There is a huge difference between being in shape and being in fighting shape and taking punishment and throwing punches every round. It would not surprise me if Tyson had to stop the fight because of a soft tissue injury during the fight...so many things can go wrong at his advanced age and lack of fighting in like....forever.

Anyway gonna watch it.

Tyson looks like he is in fighting shape, and these are only 2 minute rounds, which should be to his advantage. Paul is pretty big with reach, and is a legit fighter. Not championship/elite, but a real boxer for sure.

Ok cool.

Tyson is a 3-1 underdog in this one on my Hard Rock app.

I simply don't think at 58 he can do this.....but it will be hopefully a legit fun fight to watch.

But Tyson is not a boxer at all anymore and has been washed for a very long time. There is a huge difference between being in shape and being in fighting shape and taking punishment and throwing punches every round. It would not surprise me if Tyson had to stop the fight because of a soft tissue injury during the fight...so many things can go wrong at his advanced age and lack of fighting in like....forever.

Anyway gonna watch it.

Tyson looks like he is in fighting shape, and these are only 2 minute rounds, which should be to his advantage. Paul is pretty big with reach, and is a legit fighter. Not championship/elite, but a real boxer for sure.
Ok cool.

Tyson is a 3-1 underdog in this one on my Hard Rock app.

I simply don't think at 58 he can do this.....but it will be hopefully a legit fun fight to watch.
Yeah, I’d love to see Tyson wipe the floor with that tool but the betting odds tell me only the dumb money is betting on Iron Mike.
 
I'm 51 and feel pretty good for my age. I don't work out often and I'm certainly not Mike Tyson.

My point is, he looks amazing. He is still Mike Tyson. If a legit fight, I don't see how Tyson doesn't murder him in the middle of the ring.

Agreed. If they trade punches Paul does not have any defense. He throws one of his haymakers and he’s going to sleep. He’s going to need to bully Tyson. Lean on him and push him around. But to do that you have to get close. I’m not sure Paul has those inside skills.

Yeah.....I just know he is not gonna have much of a shot. A puncher's chance? Yeah always in a heavy weight fight a flash knockout can happen......but I just don't see it.

Absolutely. They are both big men. Expect both to tip the scales in the 220-230 range. You get caught by a man that size who can punch and it’s goodnight.
 
The two minute rounds help Tyson but if he has any chance he’s going to have to put Paul away early. He was gassed in round 4 against Danny Williams 20 years ago. I’m guessing his stamina hasn’t increased at 58 and largely out of boxing all together.
 
i know it probably wont happen but i want mike tyson to beat jake paul so badly that it somehow breaks the ribs of every aspiring internet influencer larooshbag and causes twitter instacrap and facebarf to spontaneously simultaneously delete themselves from existence take that to the bank brohans

Tyson tore his ACL in round one. Danny Williams has a 31-3 pro record.

Those two are professionals, Jake Paul is not.

My point was how exhausted he was, not so much how he performed. He was good through 3, round 4 he was done. This was also in his 30s, not his 50s.
