Tyson fight tomorrow

[Talking moose]

Anyone wants to watch it, it’s on Netflix. Free.
Hope old Mike lays a whoopin down on that brat.

[Trochu]

Well, I won't be watching, but Lets Go Mike!

Me too. A classic Tyson knockout punch sending Paul to the mat would be the best.

[Groundhogger]

Got scheduled to work, but I was planning on it....and do hope it'll be available (full length) to watch Saturday morning.

Not getting my hopes-up, I used to be a Nate Diaz fan before he "fought" Jake Paul in a throw away fight just for the paycheck. What a joke. Nate was a force to be reckoned with in the UFC, but Dana White would have stuck Diaz's contract where the sun doesn't shine if he put in a performance like that as a headliner.

This is a different entity (Netflix), and Mike Tyson isn't Nate Diaz...but we'll see.

I'm a big fight fan, and Tyson looks scarier than ever if you've seen anything recent on him. I'll be pretty stoked if Tyson unleashes that on Jake Paul. If it's a real fight, my prediction is a Tyson win/JP bleeding on the mat with a liver that may not function right going forward.

Honestly, not getting my hopes-up we'll see full power/intent to knock-out.

[Jamie Black R/T]

tysons wheels fell off right in front of us more than two decades ago....they don't grow back.

I do not believe this would be sanctioned at all without a backroom agreement to avoid KO punches. Likely end in a well staged draw.

If its an actual fight....id bet on a Paul win by KO in under 2 rounds. Speed Kills....mikes just too slow...well edited youtube clips be damned...he looks like a 58 year old man in reality....yes I hated typing that out.

Heart says Tyson

Brain says bet the house on the punk

[CanadianPsycho]

Id love to see Tyson knock JP into the next century but Im not so sure that will happen. The Pauls have made all their money on being absolute tools with very punch-able faces and now make their money with this show matches again much much older big name fighters. I doubt they'd take a fight where there is a big chance JP would lose. Ill be hoping though

[JD848]

Tyson is getting old for this stuff, but it seems he was training hard . No one with half a brain wants Tyson to connect a solid one on your chin.

Hope he knocks out JP .

[HVA7mm]

It'll be nothing more than a show with Paul making $60 mil and Tyson making $20 mil. As much as I respect Tyson as a former champ, it's about the money and the show. I'm not sure why anyone would even try to refute this, Paul is a Disney kid, his whole life has been a show.

I however have even more respect for Paul as a business man, for being able to dupe so many people into his reality circus over the last few years. Plus you have to give the guy some credit, as he has definitely picked up some boxing skills over the years. To me this fight will be like Rocky Balboa vs Thunder Lips.

If nothing else, the Jake Paul show has been a good way for aging fighters to bag some decent paychecks without really needing to "fight".

[Howard Hutchinson]

Be there with bells on, what the heck hey? I loved watching Tyson all those many years when he was indeed a force to be reckoned with (Holyfield aside) I too hope he knocks JP into next year and early otherwise the age difference will come into play. GO TYSON! (can't believe I'm saying this again)
8-2 min rounds
14 oz gloves

[Trochu]

I don't really follow the sport, what's the significance of 14 oz gloves vs 10 oz gloves?

[crazyperch]

i recommend watching the 3 part series "countdown". lots of blah blah, but still worth a watch.

Tyson looks really good, he still has the power. Its more if he can take a hit at 58 years old than anything.

[BuckCuller]

I’m not a big fan of these exhibition fights and I don’t think JP is worth Tyson’s time. I guess Tyson will get a nice payout but even if that YouTuber wins he can’t brag about beating a near 60 year old champ.

I hope Mike Tyson rips his head off though.

[Hunter5425]

It's more a circus than a fight , 14oz gloves will hopefully keep Tyson from getting badly hurt but also takes away his "sluggers" chance of a knockout. No one should be in a combat sort when pushing 60.

[Grizzly Adams1]

He's just to old for this shat. George Foreman was smart enough to get into electrical appliances.

Bigger gloves with more padding are better for defense (block and cover). They also reduce damage to your opponent.

They are heavier and, as a result, a little slower but you still get all the force of a blow, but with less damage.

[EZM]

IF this is a REAL fight and not a staged show - a 58 year old guy is a distinct disdvantage over a younger guy when al things are equal.

It isn't equal - I'm sure conditioning, recovery, speed and power will play a part. Most people give every one of these advantages to JP except power - the old man still hits like a bus.

So IF it's a real fight, Tyson needs to sleep the kid early. The longer it goes, the worse it can get for him.

[DirtShooter]

Need to find a stream as we cancelled Netflix after their promotion of cuties.

Let's go Iron Mike.

[glen moa]

I used to watch all the fights. I was never a fan of iron mike. But his power and huge fan appeal were great. I hope he wins by knockout or maybe an ear. I hope he doesn’t show up hungry.
The problem with stepping into the ring is that I just don’t want to lose any more brain cells.

[Howard Hutchinson]

Tyson got the first lick in, 24 hours pre-fight

"Mike Tyson slapped Jake Paul across the face during their weigh-in on Thursday, just 24 hours before their highly-anticipated boxing match. The two were then separated"

[glen moa]

No knock out. Must have been a love tap.

[huntinstuff]

With any luck Tyson will hit the deck and never get up

With any luck, so will Jake Paul.

Agreed.

[sjr]

Jake Paul will be playing rope a dope for the whole fight waiting for Iron Mike to gas out .

[Smokinyotes]

I believe it will all be staged and JP will get a TKO in round 3. After Tyson and Paul will have a drink together and both of them will be laughing all the way to the bank.

[JohnB]

I also believe the outcome has already been decided. I'm thinking a draw. Big payday for both.

I agree. 2 minute rounds might help Tyson but I think he’s in trouble. Jake Paul is a better puncher than most people give him credit for.

I’m cheering for Tyson but if I was forced to bet the farm, my money would be on Paul.
