    if paul has any boxing skill at all, and a decent coach, he should win. dont stay in range unless you plan to punch, and dont exchange with him. get off first and get out. dont let him act, cause he can still move fairly quickly, force him to react, cause reactions and reflexes are not near what yours are.

    Tyson is 58 years old. This fight is a sham.

    The medical episode may be an omen.

    Mike looks pumped up, not sure if PEDs are involved.

    Medical checks on fighters over a certain age - and Mike is well beyond that age at 58, should be extremely meticulous. An absolutely legit and immaculate clean bill of health has to be confirmed.

    14 oz gloves might help to lessen potential damage but they might also cruel Mike’s attempts to put Jake out early.

    Of course, Mike is clearly and purely driven by the $$$ to be made - but he really should be light years away from being in any ring in 2024.

    Weird to see his last fight listed as being against Kevin McBride, which was all the way back to 2005 with Tyson being about 38/39 yo as at the time - that was a sad enough loss to witness in its own right.

    At that time, who would’ve projected for this crap going down some 19 years later.....

    I genuinely thought Mike would have met his demise by now.

    Mike Tyson recently had a "medical episode " on a plane; turns out he had a flare up around an ulcer. Jake Paul is insisting that Tyson is looking for publicity and isn't in a bad way.

    Boxing is the hurt business. Sad as it sounds, Paul should take advantage of this issue. Same as a boxer who cuts and his opponent tries to reopen the cuts.

    Or should the fight not take place?

    Maybe it's bull**** to promote the fight? Would be a shitty thing to do though.

    It should not be taking place. It is a complete joke. Either guy could get hurt and it proves nothing except if Mike Tyson is just too old to fight. Because in my mind Mike to the body of this Jake kid would end the fight with one or two punches. I don't understand how or why this fight was made. In 2024 people must be bored. What else is it? If boxing were great like it was in the 1970s or 1980s we wouldn't have this fight. What does it say about boxing and the era we live now..

    Yeah, it wasn’t looking too good for Mike at different stages. Mike seems to be in a reasonably good place at the moment - but $$$ is $$$ and it seems, apparently, that Mike needs some, otherwise, I see no motive for it.

    Tyson going for broke probably gets Jake out of there. But if he doesn't, he's going to be winded and vulnerable in round 2.

    Yeah, I will say it. 60 is old, your knees are shot, your back is shot, you dont pull power from big arms, you pull power from hips and legs.

    Yes I know the guy is a legend, but old age waits for nobody. We can all act like Mike Tyson is still got it, but Mike Tyson didnt even have it last time he fought in pros.

    Yes, Gen-Z or Alpha will say Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson, Yes they will act like that is prime Mike Tyson, that is why Jake Paul chose him.

    Yes it will do a incredible damage to Boxing as a sport, if anyone even cares about that, that is.

    I predict TKO in round 4, exaustion or body damage.
