Mike Tyson may be 57, but he is a professional boxer, and was one of the hardest hitters everywhere. For him to box against even a great amateur should be illegal.
Or is this like wrestling, and he has been told to pull his punches. Either way, this is stupid.
I figured tonight that Jake would beat Mike due to the age difference but heck what do I know..maybe Mike will end up beating the holy hell out of him
Decades ago, upon being told his current challenger said he ‘had a plan’ to defeat Tyson, Tyson said: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.”
Paul’s only mistake may been agreeing to eight 2 minute rounds.
"Because if Bruce Lee doesn't have a gun, then it's Ali in three minutes or less."
But I did see Tyson fight once. I think someone will be needing some band-aids.
The only person that came away better for having taken a Tyson punch was Robin Givens.
Who the hell is Jake Paul?
I never understood the idea of “Oh they abuse me now but let’s get married! That will make it all better.”
Be great if this turn out to be a real fight. I have thoughts that it could be a type of WWF event.
kinda like the jewish community voting for demonrats...
Sort of like you keep posting on FR.
Tyson’s last exhibition fight was mostly fake so we’ll see what happens. This is a modern freak show.
you posted first... i responded... what’s the issue?...
The ‘fight’ has been dubbed an ‘exhibition.’
I am also curious as to why so many want to see Paul get beaten. He is hyping the fight with his bragging and outlandish statements just as other boxers do. Why hate him for that?
Tyson is 58 years old. If Paul can run for a few minutes, say into the 4th or 5th round, then Tyson will either quit or fall down from exhaustion. He hasn’t fought since what? 2005?
I think this is the song he’s somewhat famous for.

It kinda reminds me of the tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs back in 1973. There is some debate whether Riggs allowed her to win or not.

I would pick Tyson cause I have seen some of his work out videos. He appears to be in very good shape and seems much quicker than Paul. He gets inside Paul’s reach and lookout. One caveat...he hasn’t taken a blow to the head for a long time. And he has a 58 year olds brain circulation. If he gets battered in the head...all bets are off.
My guess he goes in for the kill in the third round, IF he can dodge Paul’s head blows for the first two rounds
..
IMHO
Wouldn't his training include some sparring? Not likely to get hit as hard as in a fight but some sparring sessions can get pretty enthusiastic.
