    Paul looks much bigger and stronger. The younger man is going to win this by stoppage.

    The best possible scenario I see happening is Tyson pulls out due to injury and Martin Bakole agrees to take the fight on short notice.

    Paul is the favorite with sportsbet at $1.50 and Mike at $3 head to head.
    I am gonna have a cheeky punt and put $20 on Mike by KO in round 2 as it is paying $14 and I think coz it is 2min rounds there will be some posturing in round one and if Mike is going to win he will be explosive in the 2nd round once he is a bit warmed up. That is what I am hoping for anyway lol.

    People don't understand that this fight could be the end of boxing or make it much more strict for everyone to get a license in the USA. If Mike ends up in the hospital which is very possible you will see congress get involved and the Texas Athletic commission will get grilled and there will be hearings, Netflix is stupid. You guys don't think all the other promoters like Oscar, Eddie and Frank are worried? No 58 year old should be fighting a 27 year old in a sanctioned fight, it's ridiculous. So if you are a boxing fan you better hope Mike knocks out Jake in 30 seconds or crap will hit the fan.

    There is no Texas Boxing Commission.
    If you've ever seen a fight in Texas you should realize the sport is controlled by a few very corrupt people. They don't GAF if Tyson lives or dies.

    It doesn't matter. He's almost 60. Body will not cooperate.

    Mind you, the last real fight Tyson had featured him wearing out and quitting against a scrub ... in 2005

    So a fight with pillows for gloves and two minute rounds on Mike Tyson's record?

    Nowhere. It's like a giant stain on a good pair of trousers, regardless of the result.

    Jake wants to knock Mike out so bad. Jake knows that if he knocks Mike out he will be the most wanted man in the world. The bounty on his head will go up 10x. That is exactly what he wants. He will be like Billy the kid of the 20th century if he K.O. Mike. After all Mike has gone through people love Mike. He has made so many friends. Jake is foaming at the mouth to knock this man out

    I have also considered this theory that Jake wants to be the biggest bad guy. If this does happen I hope the boxing fraternity goes after him full throttle and force him into a fight with somebody like Jai Opetaia.

    In theory I agree there are some tough AF guys in there 60’s that could probably whoop a bunch of guys in a street fight half there age but a boxing match is different especially when a guy like Jake Paul who is likely on steroids and training full time.

    Does anyone remember how disgustingly bad Tyson looked when he fought Roy Jones Jr a few years back???? Only thing happening in this ‘fight’ is that Tyson will injure himself in the first round or two due to old age, and the fight is called off. And young folks pissed off, wondering why they spent money on this crap event.

    I agree with many of the ‘this fight should not be happening’ camp. Shameful of Paul to be calling out a pensioner to fight. I feel this could be similar to Holyfield’s comeback attempt. Mike looks like he is phenomenal shape for his age but he’s spent a couple of decades smoking weed and enjoying life the way he wants to. Even with 2 min rounds, I imagine he will gas after the first few rounds, if he lasts that long. I just hope he can land something big before then.

    If he won I would be shocked tbh. Paul is 31 years younger. Thats too much.

    According to boxerrec Jake Paul is the 12th best American cruiserweight. Knocked out 2 guys on win streaks in 1 round. Beat Anderson Silva who is a better boxer than Francis Ngannou if we're being honest. Pauls much better than the cans Lyle was crushing in his 50s.

    The only thing I like about this fight is that Tyson gets 20mil. I still hope he knocks that idiot out though.
