As much of a disgrace this fight and Jake Paul is to the sport of boxing, I really hope Mike beats the living shit out of him so we never have to see him in a ring again.

I hope he knocks his head off right into the crowd.

Logan Paul has been an excellent heel lately in WWE, doing some seriously impressive stunts to entertain.
But that's WWE. I don't like the same philosophy being used by this Paul, making it seem like pro boxing is now unapologetically "sports entertainment".

I would assume that he doesn't - and to be fair it's unlikely a serious fight would earn him anything like this will! Also, arguably trying to be a serious boxer is a waste of the profile he's built for himself. More people will tune in for this, than a serious fight.
TBH, this is probably the most interesting fight I've heard of. I'd love a hilarious double knockout as seen in Rocky 3.
As noted already, Paul's onto a loser either way, if he beats Tyson it's a hollow victory. For Tyson, it's a chance to get an easy payday, the like of which is probably not there for him anywhere else.

Logan Paul got into WWE and took it seriously. He turned out to be great there. Jake Paul needs to be put into his place by Tyson.

Boxing hasn’t been in the spotlight since UFC took off. It’s cornball, but if this kind of stuff lets boxing make a comeback, so be it. Might even rejuvenate interest in serious boxing matches.
Especially if it leads to Fight Night making a comeback in gaming. I want it so bad, the MMA games are paltry experiences comparatively.

MMA is pretty wack too. I miss the 90s era where there was more pageantry. It was fun seeing the mismatches of distinct styles. Now it's just some bland grappling pastiche. And it sucks paying money for fights that last seconds.

Dont get scammed. It'll be two guys goofing around. But dont get me wrong. I'll watch it for laughs. Tyson vs Roy Jones was the worst fight ever. And they purposely made the fight a draw with the craziest scorecard tallies ever. Mayweather vs McGregor was stupid too. Mayweather wasnt even trying and purposely made the fight last.

Scorecard[edit]
The fight was a split draw and the three former WBC Champion judges scored the fight as follows: Chad Dawson (76–76 draw), Christy Martin (79–73 for Tyson), and Vinny Pazienza (76–80 for Jones).[26] Compubox numbers showed that Tyson outlanded Jones by a wide margin,[27] and sportswriter Dan Rafael described Pazienza's scorecard as 'pure insanity'.[28]

Yep, I haven’t touched MMA in a long, long time. It’s just boring to watch.

Yeh is this going to be an exhibition right? I remember from when I used to watch MMA that the Texas commission is a bit more lax than others but it's hard to imagine Tyson getting licensed. Isn't he on TRT?Dont get scammed. It'll be two guys goofing around. But dont get me wrong. I'll watch it for laughs. Tyson vs Roy Jones was the worst fight ever.

I don’t care how old he is, I would never ever step into the ring with a guy who can do this, even if years ago.
Has anyone seen the recent videos of Tyson? Still scary fast.

I watched Tyson hitting the punching bags a few months ago and he still has good quickness in those hands but how will his legs hold up in a fight.

As much as I would like to see Iron Mike fracture Jake Paul's skull, the reality is that Tyson is 57 years old

The only reason I have a slight doubt about this is because whenever Mike Tyson was on a podcast talking about fighting recently, he still talks about how he tends to see red and his mind goes elsewhere(away from logic and money) when in a fight. He always described it as this dark part of himself that comes out, which is why he tells people in the public to not egg him on because he can't promise that he won't seriously hurt someone.
Unless he has overcome that part of himself completely, I could see a hint of it coming out when there are fists thrown in his direction.

Don't forget we have Joshua v Ngannu tomorrow and UFC 299 on Saturday. Giant weekend in soccer too.
That's why I call a proper sports weekend.

Yes, and Jake isn't that bad. I think he'll win easily against a 57yo Mike. Although I will say Mike looked quite good against RJJ some years ago.

I've seen that before, but hitting pads is much different than hitting people who hit back.....especially at such an old age.

Guy is a complete monster and would still annihilate 99% of all human beings completely free.
He did mention somewhere though that he had to go through a lot of recovery after training hard again, but that's to be expected, recovery time is the only thing that just gets worse and you can't do shit about it.

I beg to differ. His body is meatier and he knows his way around a Face. Jake is going to get bodied so hard, that if he doesn't, I will suspect a fix.
Tyson said if he ever fought again, it would wake up a demon inside of him that he's had locked away since his daughter died.
Now, if he was just bullshitting, fine. If he wasn't, Jake is going to get his anatomy rearranged.
I wish that were so, since Mike’s a legend and Jake Paul is a twat, but physiologically there’s no way around being almost 60 years old. Demon or otherwise, he’s at a disadvantage against any competent, young, fit, competitive fighter.
Mike still looks great in training but it’ll come out in the fight.

Regardless, it will be an interesting one.
I'm not trying to write, Jake off. I just grew up with Tyson's anatomical destruction, so there is a bit of biased tucked away in there.
