Mike Tyson Vs Jake Paul? (1 Viewer)

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.

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.

I repeat. He had a torn acl. In round one, which he won. He then proceeded to fight the next 2-1/2 rounds on a torn acl.

I’m not being a fanboy for Tyson here. I always rooted for Holyfield.

With all that said, you’re not wrong, Tyson has long since been washed. I just think his pedigree trumps Paul’s youth.

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.
Not sure we can post links to ped discussions or not but trt may not be what these guys are on.

So a Bonecrusher Smith strategy. I can see it. I can also see Tyson with a short uppercut laying Paul out.

I'd totally take the 3-1 odds if I was a betting man.

Why can’t we post links? I’d assume they’re both on steroids, as they should be.

We should all be for 10 weeks a year!

I'll be the dumb one here - why 10 weeks?
There is sort of a consensus that 10 week cycle doesn't result in a need for any off cycle meds or leave lasting thyroid stuff.

Once on the trt train for much longer than that you are basically a lifer
So 10 weeks on, 42 weeks off?

Sorry for the hijack. I still like Tyson in this :boxing:.
I'm not a doctor, and I doubt Tyson has it with or without top flight pharm

@Terminalxylem caught me.

He’s right, not everyone. I shouldn’t make light of them. Not very responsible of me.
 
Somehow the part of the quote that’s most frightening is “Every time I drink or get ready to fight and Iron Mike returns, I break out in handcuffs.”
 
I don't think Tyson has a chance here. He'll be slow and I'm not sold on his conditioning. I think he'll throw some flurries and then open himself up to a Paul countering once Tyson tires.

It will come down to conditioning and how much punishment Tyson can take while leaning on Paul to save energy.

Tyson looks hella jacked there and no way would I want to get my face anywhere near those hands, but I'm not sure how many punches Tyson will land.

I say KO by Paul in the 3rd.

It's only 8 rounds, each 2 minutes. Probably the only way the fight got sanctioned.
 
I just hope both guys are actually trying to win. Probably won't necessarily be that way, but would be nice.
I mean, it's a carnival sideshow, but I can guess 95% of people watching would love to see Paul get hammered off his feet.
 
I'm still shocked some of you think Paul has a chance IF this is legit.

I feel like Tyson wants to make a statement. He looks ripped and I could see him wanting to destroy Paul.

And I am quite shocked that if this is a legit fight (*which more and more I am thinking it's a total side show) people think a 58 year old Tyson can win. He has been completely washed going on 25 plus years. Maybe longer.
 
what makes the most money?

Tyson sends Paul to the canvas?

Paul sends Tyson to the canvas?
if you mean the most "future money", the dream scenario, if it was really a legit fight, would be an 8 round, back and forth match where it does not matter who wins, but that it was entertaining enough and had enough quality to warrant a rematch in 6 months.
 
In terms of whether the fight is fully legit or would be a semi work, is hard to say.

I did notice that the betting establishments are taking action on the fight but that may not indicate anything since I think you can bet on professional wrestling these days.

Yeah...the "Rocky Balboa" scenario is what would be a gold mine for both of them. And knowing that, they may have already planned it out......lol we shall find out.

Because IMO a "washed", ripped 58 year old Tyson may still be enough to absolutely destroy a social media star- turned boxer.

Boxing is not about being ripped.

Look this is probably not going to be a legit fight. However if it is….Tyson has a haymakers chance. If a boxing match actually occurs….he will be beaten pretty badly. He has not been even a decent boxer in over 30 years.

I know nothing about the other guy….according to people on this thread Paul can box.

Will be interesting.

Ok...I just watched two of Paul's professional fights vs active boxers.

If Tyson can fight inside...and has his uppercut left in the tank...he has a puncher's chance. But if Paul stays on the outside and works that jab all night....Tyson really has no chance. He is 58, has not fought well since pre Holyfield (hell I go back to right before Buster Douglas....because after that fight he was never ever the same guy....really he lost a lot after that fight). Tyson was a brawler. A great defensive fighter in his prime in his early 20's. And simply hit guys so hard....just devastating on the inside. He does not have that anymore and has not had that in decades.

I just don't see it unless this thing is totally rigged or Paul is that incompetent.

Glad Mike is getting a good pay day. He needs it.
 
google search shows Tyson's net worth at 10 million. Thought it would be higher.
He was broke after his boxing career ended (even filed for bankruptcy if memory serves) so he did a pretty solid job building this level of wealth with out having too many boxing matches.

We won’t talk about how many poor decisions he must have made to burn through what should have been a few hundred million in savings. :)

Really? I mean those matches are predetermined aren't they?
somebody's making some serious money leaking results.

One of his worst decisions was trusting Don King. Also had tax issues and a couple expensive divorces.

One of his best post-bankruptcy business ventures was the 4 seasons of Mike Tyson Mysteries on Adult Swim - I still watch episodes from time to time. Its a hilarious show for late night viewing when in the proper frame of mind.

Paul is awful. He’s just juiced to the gills and significantly larger and younger than the opponents he’s beaten. Same as this time.

The only legit boxer Paul has faced he lost to. Tommy fury. Now go look at Tommy fury‘s record. (he is 10-0 but has fought nobody.)

Another good decision was taking a percentage of "The Hangover" in lieu of a large flat fee. That movie did bigger box office than anyone expected, and so has been quite lucrative for Tyson.

So we got 2 tomato cans on November 15th. Because Tyson is not a professional fighter and has not been....for decades.

Like I said.....this very well may be totally rigged WWE style to generate buzz and a rematch to cash out.

Tyson is 58 man.
Yeah I am not sure some understand how much of a disadvantage he is at just on that alone. He can literally injure himself in the first round throwing a punch.

Serious question, why do you think it’s rigged?

I ask because I thought the same thing until I watched Paul’s fights. A few of those are pretty vicious knockouts. I don’t think guys are voluntarily offering themselves up to get KOd on purpose.

Oh I am not talking about Pauls previous fights. I am talking about this upcoming fight.

And I did not say it is...I said "it very well maybe" because it's an exhibition with only 2 minute rounds and if they go the distance and put on a great show it set's up another payday for both of them.

We will find out November 15th.

All Tyson needs is about 30 seconds of Iron Mike and they'll be retrieving Paul's jaw from the 10th row.
