Why does it matter? He will be made fun of for a couple weeks and then everyone doesn't care or forgets. This is what happened to all the retirees that Jake fought.
Thanks for that. LMAO.
Probably one of the funniets clips of all time lol

The other guy is on steroids. Probably the reason why it's an exhibition
Paul has realized he'll never compete with legit top tier boxers. So he'll wring as much money out as possible on side show fights or beating up retired journeymen, never stepping foot in the ring with a real boxer.
Oh, did not see that, interesting. Last note I remember about him or Logan Paul boxing was Logan flailing with his punches with Mayweather, I think?
Interesting, kinda makes sense. Thanks for that
One of those soul-disintegrating uppercuts!
Good luck
THIS, hahah!
Yep. Say what you want about Tyson's overall skills as a boxer, but there's no denying he could hit like a truck.
Always loved this hit because he's stepping back but still leaning into this absolutely vicious uppercut.Good luck
Hopefully nobody gets hurt. Either Mike from his age or Jake because even old Iron Mike can murder somebody with an uppercut. Either way, I refuse to watch this just like the other Jake Paul events. Not really into the YouTuber spectacle of amateur vs retiree.
60 or not, I think Tyson could mess him up. Dude is in excellent shape and moves pretty fast still all things considered. You all should see some of his recent training bouts. No way I'd underestimate him.
I'll say Mike can still take Jake's head off no problem, but it won't come to this in a staged exhibition.
That won't stop the narratives. Somehow Jake gets seen as "legitimate" because he beat a guy who was one of the greatest boxers of all tie at one point. Then again it could be scripted shit like Logan vs Mayweather.
i would say he's done pretty well to get to the level of journeyman pro boxer who could make a non-influencer living from it, given his accelerated timeline.
but no he is not a credible fighter against anyone serious
Even if it's scripted, I hope Tyson's muscle memory kicks in, he loses control of himself for a moment, and unleashes his best uppercut at the perfect time. Even at his age I think it would do well enough.
(Just to be clear, no way I'm watching this, just later watch the footage of Paul getting his bell rung over and over)

I can't believe Tyson would risk his legacy on this dude.
Although Tyson has looked good in his training footage from the past couple years, Jake will no doubt be much faster. Speed is the first thing to go with age. However, strength and technique can be maintained which Mike should have. But unfortunately the universe is a bitch and keeps letting Jake win so he'll likely win this one as well.

They almost certainly agreed to make it a glorified sparring match much like the Tyson/Holyfield match from a few years back. Jake Paul's "boxing career" is floundering and this is just another desperate attempt at attention (and a way to desperately avoid fighting an actual, real, credible boxer)
I'll never forget the first time I saw Mike's highlight reel. I had been aware of him my whole life as a kid, grew up with Punch Out, but I had never seen one of his fights. I just knew of him because he was famous. When I was fully grown up in the military, and something of a martial artist myself, a highlight reel video made the rounds in my email. I was just astonished at his power. There was one body blow I remember in particular; it was a short punch, one that started with like his whole forearm forward of his waist, only travelling a few inches, and it still just looked like a fucking car crash. All of his punches are like that, he has a wild kind of explosive power. He released a video of himself hitting some bags like a couple years ago, and it looks like he still has it. I would certainly hesitate to put money on a 60-year old versus a young man, but I do think there is a very non-zero chance he could crush Paul if his conditioning is decent.
Seems really stupid to have someone as old as Tyson boxing again, even if they will be going soft. Anyway I'm sure this will be a tremendously shit fight, that will get just so many views and they'll both make ungodly amounts.
All his fights are for show, so him and whoever he's fighting can collect a giant bag
It'll probably be similar to Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul. Where Floyd could've ended that fight at any moment but never did, and won a decision.
Would like to see Tyson go out there and end it in 10 seconds. Not sure if he has that in him anymore though.
would be a real shame if mike got in the ring and started having flashbacks to his heyday and maybe let his temper flare a lil bit and maybe took a Pauls fucking head off. real shame.
Paul is also quite a bit bigger (which is part of his schtick) than Tyson. This is the Jake Paul MO, get a guy whose name looks good on a resume but when you dig down you realize he's going to be fighting a 60 year old 5'9 guy whose athleticism is shot and who probably will be gassed after 2 rounds of action. But hey he'll be able to say "I beat Mike Tyson!"
