    They are going to change it to a exhibition 2 hours before the fight starts.

    No way this stands on either s record as official.

    She's definitely looking to get paid, hence why the broad is bringing this up 30 years later.

    "Bringing it up" implies it even happened. She can probably provide evidence but not prove she was around Mike or in the vecinity at that time so she's throwing mud hoping it will stick.

    Hmmm, I don't know if Paul will want to knock him out, but you're right, Tyson has no chance.

    Point of clarity - this fight in fact is the main event of the Netflix card on November fifteenth (next Friday)...and once again, yes, it's a real sanctioned pro bout that counts on both of their records.

    Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano II will be the official co-main event.

    Mario Barrios vs. Abel Ramos - the only men's world championship match on the card - will be part of the undercard, as will Shadasisa Green vs. Melinda Watpool for the vacant WBO women's super middleweight title.

    Christ... Tyson is allowing this farce to be cemented on his record.

    Who the hell genuinely thinks Tyson is knocking out Jake Paul? Like seriously? Surely they gotta be people who’ve never stepped foot in a boxing gym in their life?

    are you saying mike no longer has the punch to ko paul? he may not have the lungs to go 12 with him, or the reflexes to counter him, but in an exchange he certainly has the power to put his lights out.

    he won’t get anywhere near Paul. This is gonna be worse than the Holyfield debacle the other year. He’s nearly eligible for a free bus pass ffs.

    everyone ages different, so i cant speak for tyson, but an in shape 58 yo who knows how to fight, is still a very dangerous man. tysons best bet is to force paul to clinch, and throw combinations as he tries to hold or theyre separating. people will be surprised how strong mike will look in the clinch. the odds are that mike wont have the reaction time anymore to catch paul clean to stop him, but paul isnt some seasoned pro that knows how to handle every situation. he might walk himself into a side step left hook.
