Tyson vs Paul
I haven’t been paying attention to the hoopla… didn’t even know who Jake Paul is. But the fight is in two days I guess…

Iron Mike is 57, Paul 27 I think. Paul is big and strong. But … I watched a few minutes of his fights. He has really suspect footwork. And keeps his arms too low, although with the much shorter Tyson that might not hurt him as much as against a tighter w longer reach. Two minute rounds helps Tyson. But Mike Tyson has tons more experience than Paul, WAY better footwork and defense and is a far superior boxer.

I could easily be wrong, but I think Paul goes down hard in the 3 -5 round.

Anyone else willing to make a guess

If Tyson was really fighting him, he would knock Paul out in the first round.

You think they’re not really going after each other? Or that it’s boxing, not fighting?

Actually
I just noticed Paul isn’t that big… they’re the same weight, but Paul bulked up. I don’t think most people realize just how skilled Tyson is… all they saw was how strong and ferocious he was. But his skills were second to none. Were. Buthe has so much experience too

I think that a lot of important people want to make money and drive up publicity for Boxing. So it is going to be more on the entertainment side than usual. Boxing is very real. If it was just to box , without the entertainment aspect. Tyson would knock Jake Paul out in the first round. He would come at him like a freight train, throw him off balance and find his opening to finish him quickly. But I doubt that's gonna happen. So your estimate is more likely.

I think
Tyson isn’t the kind of guy to go halfway. The way Paul has been yapping, I think Iron Mike wants to teach him a lesson and send a message.

I’m torn. I want to watch, but don’t really want to watch. 🤨

57
is getting up there. Paul might be able to just wear Tyson down. So Tyson has motivation to end it quickly. We may just hope Paul comes out with his ears intact.

Tyson is not the same guy he used to be. And his skills are so superior to Paul’s.

I was certainly wrong. Jake Paul won by decision after 10 rounds.

8 rounds
But yeah. Pretty underwhelming. Looked like a mediocre boxer dparreith an okd guy with no legs.

No one should be bragging about this fight

My Guess
is Paul made up points the last five rounds. I did not see the fight.

It was. I watched just a few minutes, but it looked to be a real donnybrook. I may watch it later if I get some free time

I would have preferred to have seen bad-ass Tyson cold-c*** the guy after a couple rounds, but it appeared to me that he had lost his legs and stamina.
