Tyson - Paul ...who's in?

I hope Tyson wins by KO about 4 seconds into the match
I hope Tyson beats that obnoxious arrogant prick to a bloody pulp.
Most of us are around the same age, where Tyson was the biggest name in boxing, video games, maybe in sports.
I would love to see him win.

Exactly. I was a senior in '86 ...getting together with my buds on Tyson fight nite was da bomb. I remember specific gatherings and rooms we were in, McNeely mouthing "cacoon" .... haha...I watched his loss against Buster at the Ranch Bowl...
...for a lot of guys like me, his fights were the biggest sporting event of the year (outside of Huskers of course) and the end of boxing as we knew it when he faded away.
Watching this fight tonite will be like going back in time
I don't follow boxing and I was very surprised when I learned the Tyson in this bout is The Mike Tyson. Not a son but THE Mike Tyson.
I don’t want him to get out of it that quickly. I want Iron Mike to toy with him a while before knocking his block off.
I know zilcho about boxing so who am I to say if Jake is a real boxer or not...but I feel like he isn't. Am I wrong?
He actually ain’t bad.
Tyson got destroyed by the terrible Kevin McBride in his last fight…20+ years ago.
Hoping for a Tyson knockout, but he had to stop training once due to his “health” or something if I’m correct? So might be a long shot.
The fact that this fight is getting the press it is tells you all there is to know about the state of boxing. The sport is so hard up for a marquis match up.
I know nothing about Jake Paul, but father time has been hard on boxers who continue to fight into their late 30s and 40s. Can't image what its going to look like for Tyson at nearly 60.

Yep!
I am not as old or as bad at love making as you are but when I was in college we would PPV (remember doing that) the fights and get a keg and invite friends over, most of those fights went so fast (like me in bed) but it was a blast.
It was an event. It was must see.
Believe it or not, he’s a little underrated.
For a guy who is primarily a content creator, he has done an impressive job at taking boxing training seriously and making it his main focus.
Has beat the brakes off some fighters, but probably wouldn’t be much of a force outside of the celebrity thing.
Supposedly this is a sanctioned bout but I get the feeling that it will be scripted somehow.
Tyson's like 60. It's like having players from the 80's thinking they can still play, or having Jordan play 1v1 with any current player in the nba, or even a lesser league. Time always wins. Tyson has to get super lucky to have a chance. Paul likely carries him for a decision or ko's him, no chance of a tyson win.
Pretty sure Tyson knows how old he is and as such will go out of his way to try and finish this early. I predict he knocks out Paul in the second round.
I'd love to see the contracts for this fight. If I recall correctly, the Logan Paul v Floyd Mayweather fight looked fishy.
He says he quit smoking pot and having aex to train for it..IF....that is true, its realz. Otherwise why bother doing those things?
I've never been a Boxing, UFC, MMA fan. Butt, I hope Tyson beats the F'ing brakes off of him.
58 is not old if you keep yourself in shape as it appears Tyson has
I haven’t heard anyone say honestly say that they think Paul wins this fight. I think thats mostly because we all saw Tyson fight at some point in our lives and think he’s one of the badest m’fers to roam the earth. Having said that, Vegas has Tyson as a fairly large underdog currently at +225 on Circa. I’m guess there is some sort of “script” or act here and Vegas knows damn well the outcome already. Give me Jake Paul in 5
...but what does polymarket say?? You know, the smartest mf'ers in the room?
....64% Paul
Vegas offering odds on something that is "fake" would be a big issue.
Offshore, sure, they offer it on anything.
I'm afraid a lot of Tyson fans (myself included) and a lot of Jake Paul haters (also myself included) are going to be really disappointed tonight. All of those training videos that they have shown of Tyson are just to hype things up. When he actually steps in the ring, he isn't going to look anything like that and if Paul survives the first flurry then he's good to go and worse case he will dance and clinch his way to a draw.
I think this is pretty much going to be the case.
This will probably look a lot like a friendly sparing match after the first round.
If the fight is actual real…..and Tyson doesn’t knock him out in 30 seconds, he will get bludgeoned and embarrassed. 58 year olds do not fight for a reason. I would absolutely love to see Tyson knock that douche out, but I just don’t see it. Would be so fantastic.
I watched Tyson and Roy Jones fight in 2020 and Tyson actually looked real good, and of course, Jones is a real boxer with a lot of skill, despite having a glass chin.
At the end of the day, they're straping on 14 Ounce gloves, i.e. pillows. Money says Mikey needs a big payday.
