Mike Tyson to fight Jake Paul
- Thread starter simply1

I think Tyson could knock him out early. But if not, I'd think the age discrepancy and what it means for your max cardio capacity will really benefit Paul.
This is a total hot mess, but I'll absolutely watch.

I would have agreed when he was 20. I think he's mellowed considerably.
It's very minor in comparison but there's a movement toward this kind of influencer cutting the line in sports BS with basketball.
Maybe they can take Mike off the THC and CBD for a couple months before the fight.
It’s the whole “famous for being famous” thing Andy Warhol predicted. Same as the Kardashians.
I read that video is 4 years old and Tyson said he was in bed for a week after that because he hurt so bad after doing it.
So in addition to the 31-year age gap and Tyson being nearly 60 at the time of the fight, they'll be using heavier 14 oz. gloves which will definitely lessen the power/impact of the punches, as another concession playing to the advantage of Jake Paul. I have a feeling by the time the fight rolls around Tyson will have agreed to fighting with his right arm literally tied behind his back.

How does that work? People are paying to watch them play 1v1 against old NBA guys or something?
Tyson? Obviously not, a very nice big payday for him. Just another example of JP being a complete joke when he claims he wants to be a "serious" boxer.
“Influencers” who present themselves as basketball players rather than actual basketball players who have a social media acct.
The nba gave it oxygen unfortunately by inviting one of them to their celebrity game all star weekend and he treated it like playing for Olympic gold.
I'm a lifelong boxing fan, I know the sport has its problems but I still love it. Seeing fake tough guy dorks like Jake Paul p*ssing all over it is beyond irritating to me. If you want to be a serious boxer, fight serious boxers, not retired MMA guys or 60-year-olds. JP has had one match against an actual professional boxer who's in his prime, but even still isn't very good, and JP lost.
He obviously doesn't want to be a legit boxer and why would he? Dude is raking it in with bs spectacle fights.
He's said he wants to become a world champion.
“My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion of the world, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time. Time to put Iron Mike to sleep.”

I can’t imagine he would say something he doesn’t mean. Especially not for something completely silly like financial gain.He's said he wants to become a world champion.
