Mike Tyson v. Jake Paul

Anyone watching that tonight ?

Not a big boxing connoisseur but this has perked my attention.

A 58 year old former champ vs. a 27 year old YouTuber. :boxing_glove:

Not giving any money to this joke of a fight.

If you have Netflix, it’s free from what I understand. I wouldn’t pay for it either.

It’s got to be a rigged fight. No way Jake Paul would want to take those kind of hits from Iron Mike himself.

I’ve heard that that too. Rumor has it’s going to play out like an exhibition.

Everyone seems to think Paul will win simply due to age.

Those people are dumb. Tyson has a Demi God like body for his age and access to two full decades of boxing knowledge and skill development. Paul’s others fights he did aren’t bad, but it’s not Tyson. In an actual no holds barred match Tyson would mop the floor with him. Best case scenario for Paul is that he would somehow go the distance and lose on points. But I don’t believe he could stand up to a Tyson assault. Other boxers who fought Mike have described it as like getting hit by a truck repeatedly. Even the fighters he lost to like Buster Douglas described it like that.

I think Paul will get a good shot or two, and then Tyson will absolutely maul him.

I renewed my Netflix subscription just for this.

Iron Mike for the win!

I don’t know what to make of this fight. Jake Paul has been very strategic in choosing his opponents; largely undersized, past their prime, and all but one were not active professional boxers, which was his one loss. I do give him credit, he’s winning fights and making lots of money. Regarding Jake as a fighter, he does have decent boxing skills and can take a punch based on the degree of fighter he’s fighting. Now someone can say, well he’s never faced anyone like Mike Tyson, but when listening to Steven A Smith he reminded us of Tyson’s last professional fight 20 years ago:

As the saying goes, father time is undefeated.

First of all, they are wearing 14oz gloves. A lot of padding there. Each round is only 2 minutes. That should help Tyson.

Conditioning is everything in boxing. The older you get, the harder it is to maintain a great level of conditioning. Look at Buster Douglas when he fought Tyson, and then when he fought Holyfield. Clearly Douglas didn’t train for that fight. He just wanted his 25M and be done with it.

Ali at 32 years old looked like he was in the best shape of his life fighting Foreman.

If anyone wants to watch one of the craziest fights ever, Foreman VS Lyle. The closest thing to a Rocky fight you’ll see.

Netflix apparently can’t handle this kind of traffic. :roll_eyes:

Mine has been steady this entire time… I started watching on my phone at the gym and now home on TV; zero interruptions or buffering

Great prelims, btw

Same here. Tyson should ring his bell.

Think I just saw Greg Abbott in the front row

Facebook is also erupting over the lag. You’re lucky. lol

Whoopsy , jinxed myself. Had buffering , now lost the audio

Yup. We crapped out as Tyson was stepping in
