Jake Paul to fight Mike Tyson in live Netflix boxing event on July 20th

Yeah, a deal won't allow either to punch their lights out. Tyson is old and shuffles around when I saw him in a documentary but he could still throw a fast hard punch.
His legacy is already cemented, a sparring match at 60 where he picks up a check ain't gonna hurt it whatsoever
Lmao its a work brother.
Pretty sure Foreman and Hopkins were pushing their mid to late 40s when they won their last titles, if Tyson was near that age I'd get it but man is pushing 60. They're really out here trying to get as much cheap heat as they can on Paul, he's never going to be a star. People will only ever care for the carny shit with him.

Then he should fight other fighters in their prime not former NBA players and guys long past their best days.
Mike would still feed Jake his own ass at 60 years old. As much as I'd love to see that, it's clear this is just to feed Jake's ego.

No, this isn't indicative of Mike's actual in-ring performance, but let's not pretend like he's some wrinkly old bum.

its not where it was in his prime, which is what allowed him to make up for size disparities every time he fought larger heavyweights. Yes for a 60 year old he is in great shape. As a 60 year old who is going to actually compete in a boxing exhibition against someone half his age, im not so sure.
I hate this, rationally I know Tyson's certified in boxing history so the outcome won't matter...but the discourse that will come from anything other than beating Paul will cause me so much psychic damage.
Like...ultimate level toxic Internet chatter.

Tyson is like 35 years past his prime, and 20 years past when he should be fighting. What an absolute joke
because there's a lot of great fighters and fights in boxing for actual fans of the sport. Only dummies pay attention to Jake Paul. It's like watching a Zack Snyder movie and declaring "how can anyone take film seriously?"
It happened once (against a journeyman no less). He got completely out classed and outmatched. I wouldn't expect it to happen again.
He fought a low level not over the hill boxer and lost, that's what happened
Yeah, I don't get why people take these publicity stunts seriously.
Anything to keep from fighting real opponents huh? Wish tyson was a bit younger, he would probably hit this dude so hard his fucking neck would snap. Then again if that were the case logan sure as fuck wouldn't fight him.
Mike Tyson got the bag and told to take a dive/way past his prime but he'll get a few good shots in
Let's go Mike
Let's go Mike
I imagine it will look a lot like the Tyson/Roy Jones exhibition match from a few years ago. Tyson mostly gassed by round 3. The occasional explosive burst like once or twice around but probably not enough to put his full power behind it. A whole lot of clinching and they coast to a decision finish.
yep. hope the dude is hit so hard he can't do anymore grifts tbh
I don't see how Jake wins in any scenario, both literally and figuratively.
Having to resort to beating up an old man makes you look pathetic.
Potentially LOSING to that old man looks even more pathetic.
Like there's no path to victory here aside from reinforcing the notion that you're an embarrassment to society.

Prime Mike was unbelievable. If only he wasn't crazy, he would have dominated forever.
Except neither of them are going to try and do anything but put on a show. I'm sure the rules and how they are selling it are established before the contract is finalized.
I don't think Paul takes the fight if he's losing. He already did that once. For Tyson, there's no real downside to losing, there's a 30 year age difference and nothing it's not like people are gonna think differently of Tyson if he loses since he's not an active competitor.
This is gonna be one of those things where everyone shits on it between now and this fight's fight week, rightfully so it's a stupid ass fight, but given that almost everyone in the world at this point has Netflix, everybody will be watching this. This will be the most talked about thing as we get closer and closer to its date unless the fight gets called off last minute due to an injury in the middle of their fight camps. Guaranteed. That's the whole reason this is even happening. The only way this Live Global Sports Event could've been more interesting is if it was the seemingly long gone Jake Paul VS KSI fight that people really wanted for awhile as no one is really invested in a Jake Paul-Tommy Fury 2 fight. Besides that, it's a lose-lose situation for everyone involved but Jake Paul, Mike Tyson and Netflix as they'll all get paid ridiculous amounts of money for this if the fight does come into fruition.
To be honest Tyson was known for knocking out dudes way bigger than Paul.
He did. He fought Tommy Fury. He lost. After losing once, he's probably never going to fight a real boxer again until he fights like 5-10 more terrible old retired dudes for "ring experience".
Damn, I missed it. I would have liked to see that live.
Remember Tyson is a rapist and Paul is a terrible person. Why the hell ERA???

I mellowed a bit on Jake Paul, Jutta Leerdam seems to ground him pretty well and he almost appears likable, unlike his brother. Still not going to watch.
