Mike Tyson VS Jake Paul

[Old-Cat]

The reality is, Jake is a legitimate mid-level pro boxer. He won’t ever win a title or likely even contend but his boxing skill is very good. Tyson peaked about 35 years ago, has a lot of hard miles, and didn’t take great care of himself for a long time. If the fight is not scripted, it’s going to be a young man beating up an old man, and will be harsh to watch. I really hope I’m wrong.

Bingo

I saw a clip of Tyson smoking a cigarette and saying he gave them up for the fight. After about two rounds Jake Paul will knock Tyson all over the ring. If it goes two rounds. In 1985 Tyson in 1.

The old man strength thread would like to have a word with you.

Why has nobody even considered "old man strength" as a factor.
Maybe it's a midwest thing.

Old man strength is definitely a factor.

It's the old man endurance and stamina that is likely gone away.

Having said that, I would still put my $ on Iron Mike

I don't think so. He's too proud to take any more ridicule for not wanting to fight a guy.




Fair, but if anyone who came up through the amateur ranks was scheduling fights with retired athletes from other sports they would be exhibition and nothing more. It's only somehow acceptable because he's this unexpected outsider with tons of media reach. Honestly I'd be fine with it if he'd stop the hype train of how he's going to be the best in the world and just call it what it is...he's having fun beating up people that by all means he should be able to beat up in the ring. Until he steps in with someone in his weight class and takes their belt, he's just a show man getting richer off silly matchups.

You nailed it. He is a business man. I don't even know what the guy looks like, but people I trust in the business world have called him one of the best promoters in history. This is about nothing more than money. The more hype he can create, the more money he can make.

Watch this and keep reminding yourself to think about Jake Paul.....

Is there any way to officially know if it is an exhibition?
The only boxing that I have ever watched live I have been disapointed in. But I'm an MMA fan. I have watched some old boxing that I've enjoyed.

It has been sanctioned by the Texas commission as a pro bout. 2 minutes rounds and 14 oz gloves

So does "sanctioned" mean there are no rules that apply to one that don't apply to the other? Or are there any rules like 'Only light shots to the head"? I've watch some boxing that is pretty obvious they are holding back, and it is no fun to watch.

It’s a no brainer for Tyson to get into the ring, win or lose. He may not even care. He’s supposed to be guaranteed 20 million from a projected 80 million purse.

This is really an intriguing match-up. I am approaching 62 years of age. I fancied myself as a tough lad. When I hit 50, the tough slowly started fading away though I took good care of myself. Mike is in incredible shape...for his age. He hasn't lost his technical ability. Speed and power are inescapably diminished from his prime. I suspect he'd be reluctant to admit he's not nearly as tough as he used to be, but he's not. Jake is a good fighter in top physical condition and in his prime. The old man in me gives the nod to youth.

I hope I am wrong but I don't think Tyson has any chance at all. He still has old man knockout power but his legs will give out after 1 round. Jake will run or hold first round and then youth makes Mike look bad. Lock both of them in a closet and Tyson wins but not in a full sized ring.

That sounds better!

Just saw an ad for this on tv while watching fooseball.

I'm in for Tyson. I hope jake paul gets cocky and comes in close.

It's over in 30 seconds if Jake actually tries to fight in the first round.

Tyson will do fine. If his legs give out all he has to do is stand still and let jake come in.....
