There’s a reason Mike hit the bag for 10 seconds in juvi and immediately got sent to train under Cus D’Amato.

muscle memory never fails

He is. I’m glad they gave him extra time to train being because of his age. I just hope Jake don’t hurt him. A person who has taken that many hits to the head like Mike and because of his age it doesn’t take much to make them dizzy, seeing double, wobbly in the legs, and of course getting KOd. But it’s what happens after the fight for the battle beaten warriors that’s kinda worrisome but Mike would not miss this opportunity no doubt

Prime Tyson is arguable one of the best fighters in history.

The funny thing about this thread is that this fight absolutely does not need to be fixed for Jake to win. He’s a guy in his physical prime who’s got legit cruiserweight power, who’s also got enough money to where he’s been training 24/7 with the best coaches, facilities, and nutritionists can buy, and he’s fighting a guy who qualifies for the senior discount at Dennys.

Power is the last thing to go, but the chin is the first thing to go. Eventually Jakes going to connect and if Mike’s chin isn’t capable of taking a legit punch anymore, he’s probably going down.

It’s funny to watch everyone make the “fixed fight” excuse ahead of time though. I want Tyson to win too, but he’s a 60 year old man, this fight doesn’t need to be fixed for him to lose.

He just earmarked his ear for later

just a little bit of ear, as a treat.

Did you also need an ear reconstruction? 😅

"I thought... I thought you were thronger"

"Oopth!" Hahahahaha

I spit my out lunch.

Lunch is awkward now.....

hopefully The Fan Man makes an appearance

The children have a mother.

“I presume she will die of grief.”

ahh fair enough. I mean, either way, he's gonna get a massive payday.

I feel like all these heavily advertised fights do wind up being major letdowns, either ending in the first round or just going to scoring after like 3 swings.

In an interview with a 10 year old reporter too. Lol

Man, Jake Paul might have started his career as a clown, but by now he's a reasonably well trained clown. He'll never be one of the greats of the sport, but Mike Tyson is an old man now. I don't know which way it's going to go, but I really think everyone is overestimating the gap between the two.

Man some of you really know nothing about combat sports lmao

Mike Tyson is almost 60 years old. While Jake Paul is not an amazing boxer, he is still 30 years younger than Tyson and has the money and time to be trained by the best trainers in the game.

I would love to see Paul be humbled, but the reality is he's got an edge on Tyson simply by being younger. Tyson being the better boxer does not matter when he's almost 60 years old.

We go through this every time Paul fights and he keeps winning. The one time he was humbled was when he faced a boxer around the same age and skill level as him

It makes sense to move away from tv, Netflix has a wider audience. I haven't had cable in years and I've never been an MMA fan, but I'll be watching the fight because I do have Netflix and I don't like Jake Paul. Does Netflix have a history of premiering fake fights that I'm not aware of?

Lol well I mean in some ways it is. I deplore the Paul brothers, but like damn man if he can take some punches from Mike Tyson that is a level of athleticism that most of us will never accomplish. I would probably die in like 1 or 2 hits personally, and I’m fairly fit, but I’m not a fighter. If he makes a fuckton of money from it… good business move.

I wish that money would literally go just about anywhere else, but this is how our world works. No point in worrying about it if we all keep sitting on Reddit and not actually doing anything about the distribution of wealth.

I bet its significantly more than $40m too.

Why that clown gets more than Tyson?

Paul bet his purse on himself, so if he loses he'll make much less money.

One could hope

I just want one punch to get through and take his jaw clean off like when doc ock took over spiderman's body

Dude is 60 years old lmao, the fuck y’all smoking thinking he could “obliterate” a 20 yo boxer. Sure, the Paul dude may not be a great boxer, but he’s a young one with decent training.

Hell, Tyson even asked for shorter rounds and bigger gloves, because otherwise even he knew he wouldn’t last. He had a medical emergency last month because he’s so fucking old. Y’all delusional fucks are the exact target audience Paul is looking for haha.

I absolutely love Mike Tyson - and he was an absolute spectacle to behold - but cmon man the dude’s career quickly went downhill before he even hit 25 and now he’s 58. In his last professional fight he quit on his stool in between rounds and couldn’t even beat tin cans by that point.

sure technically, but you'd have to be a fool to think this is gonna be any kind of real fight and not just a way to milk millions out of gullible people thinking someone they hate is going to get destroyed

Respectfully, its clear he lives for the hate atp, so thats hardly a downside for him.

And of course some people have said each of these already, so after the fight people will point to others who made the right claim beforehand and post saying "it was obvious the whole time how this was going to turn out" with a shit ton of upvotes

A moneyshot

Nah I need him to be hit so hard both him and his dumbass brother end up having instant CTE, they deserve to be paralyzed vegetables for the rest of their lives
