    Really hope I'm wrong but I voted Paul stoppage.

    Well, 14 ounce gloves is an advantage to Paul, but 2 minute rounds is an advantage to Tyson.

    If your FIRST sentence comes true, Fergy, the second sentence won't be needed.

    Real ?

    If this is a REAL fight, and the result is ANYTHING OTHER THAN MIKE KNOCKING JAKE OUT, then you can be certain that this circus act was fixed in advance.

    I can attest to that. I've just turned 62 and I keep detailed records of my gym performance. Despite really working hard, day after day, year after year, I saw a massive strength decline in my mid fifties. At 48, I was deadlifting 230kg x 5. At 60, I struggled with 180 x 7 - and that's the exercise with my lowest percentage of strength lost. My overhead press in that time went from 73kg x 13 to 70kg x 1. For speed and fitness, the difference between my sprinting aged 25 and now is gobsmacking (and depressing!)

    OK. I'm not a world class athlete like Mike Tyson, nor on PEDS or TRT, but I bet the physical decline for him is still pretty huge. I just can't see any guy in his late fifties - no matter how good - competing successfully against a strong, fit, motivated guy in his 20s. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I fear for Mike's safety.

    This is one fight where I wish serious damage on someone. I hope that old Mike has enough left to badly hurt Jake Paul and knock him the **** out.

    I’ll give Jake his dues, that was pretty funny, including the prosthetic belly.

    Jake fan: “What happened there, bro?”

    Jake to fan; “Homey (yes, deliberate misspelling), I forgot to duck!”

    I hope Tyson pulls out I would hate that little weasel Jake Paul having a W over a legend like Tyson.

    Let Paul fight a fighter his own age and weight and stop picking on OAPs.

    Wait, is this still true? I've been blocking out most of the details out of hate for one of the contestants, and I've not heard this before.
