    This is...real. Like, actually. This is no drill, nor as originally thought an exhibition.

    It's a sanctioned pro bout.

    It counts on their records.

    8x2" rounds (although neither of them has a vagina that I'm aware of...the main event of the card is a women's match, though...) scheduled at heavyweight.

    It will be their 59th and 11th professional contest, respectively.

    I'm shook.

    I plan on being there. I believe Paul will survive Tyson's initial attack and win a decision.

    Never thought we would see the day that Tyson decides to fight a YouTuber in a professional bout that lasts as long as a female boxing match. Let's just hope they try and treat it as an actual fight and not an exhibition where they take it easy on each other.

    Give him a break....a 60 yr old man can last as long as a fit 25 yr old woman; think about it. His handicap is a woman's limit.

    A 60 year old man shouldn't be fighting professionally in the first place. But I guess the money was just too good to pass up. It makes sense that they cut the rounds a minute shorter to accommodate for him.

    Love Mike but he was already shot to pieces in 2004 when he lost to Williams and McBride - that was 20 years ago…

    Unfortunately he’s going to get seriously hurt

    Rumor here in Dallas was the Paul brothers were going to tag team him. They'd have needed it back in 1986. Maybe Mike and RJJ shouod tag team Jake?

    Tyson and Holyfield tag teaming against the Paul brothers would be better. A fitting redemption arc.

    Judge A scores the bout for Mike Tyson

    Judge B scores the bout for Jake Paul

    Judge C scores this fight a DRAW.

    With sentence two being true I can't fathom the first.

    You want to see that?

    Tyson might see the final bell if he doesn't throw any punches, but if he does throw any punches he'll get hurt and knocked out or gas out and quit.

    It's going to be ugly and no way I'll watch. Hate this stuff

    How can 8x2 min rounds count in their pro records as it is not pro boxing rules?

    Yeah but I would think he still have that early power to give him a posibility of upset. Althought his ability to take a punch has probably gone down hill as much as Hollyfields

    It is. In women's boxing.

    It's been used in men's as well, albeit very rarely.

    There are all kinds of exceptions and deviations to standard rules within pro boxing. Odd-numbered rounds in reality TV shows, half-round scoring in certain Latin American countries, etc.
