    Paul probably wins

    Mike is too old. Such an idiotic event. He's going to damage his legacy

    It's ridiculous that this fight goes against Tyson if he loses, this should have been kept as an exhibition.

    Agreed. I'd actually rather see the much smaller 47 year old Mayweather fight Paul. I think that Floyd still has enough left to embarrass him.

    His knees look shaky in the training videos. Noticeably more than when he was training for Jones. I don't think he's turning into punches and getting the same torque he was even a few years ago. I fucking hate this.

    Even if Paul doesn't land a shot I could see Mike's knee blowing out like how David Hayes achilles did and the fight being stopped as a TKO win for Paul.

    "Young guy beats old guy"

    or

    "I always knew Tyson had no chin"

    depending on which poster you are. Myself I hope Tyson murks him but hope is thin to be honest.

    The only interesting part of this fight for me will be that its premiering on Netflix

    Tyson is my g.o.a.t, i hate this fight. If Jake Paul survives the first minute then its over for Tyson. Still think there is something fishy about this whole bout tho. Bet there is something going on behind the scene. No way Tyson damages his legacy for Jake ****ing Paul

    Hopefully Tyson will be roided as hell at the time of the fight. Jake Paul is definitely on steroids. Since it's official I hope Mike Tyson kicks that ugly phony piece of crap early - it's his only chance

    I'm really hopeful we see the full power and skill of Tyson, in the first 3 rounds.
    After that I fear he'll start to gas.

    This being a recognized fight is just another black eye for a sport that doesn't need any more black eyes.
