Topic: [Boxing profanation] Jake Paul Vs Mike Tyson - 15th November - page 2. (Read 610 times)

Yeah. Jake is an active boxer who has been on the current era of influential boxers, marking that Tyson has retired and no longer active on real time on the boxing ring may not possibly diminish his own possession soon like that because he has as much been on the board of most undisputed boxers during his era too.

They all have their best rates of  performances which I don't see Tyson faded so soon to be subdued by Jake.
I doubt and based on game of fun, I am supporting Tyson and sure that I will be betting on him because I am more confident in him winning that Jake.

I don't think he's too concerned about what people in general think of him. He probably has a group of loyal fanboys who would follow him and consume his content no matter what (until a new, better e-celeb emerges).
This has little to do with sport and everything to do with show business, publicity and money. After losing to Tommy Fury, a mediocre boxer (who btw hasn't fought any other boxer since that fight), Jake will not make the same mistake twice and will limit himself to fighting big names from other disciplines and/or past their prime.

I don't think beating Mike would make any dent to Paul's "career", but getting KO'ed would. He's a big favourite in this fight, so it would be harder to hype up any future fights after getting put down by a 60-year-old.

Mike Tyson looked downright scary in that public workout while Jake Paul looked like he was intentionally trying to look bad. I’m not sure what we’re going to see, but I’m excited. I hope we see a couple moments of vintage Tyson action but most importantly I hope we see a clean fight and everyone walk away safely.

Yes, definitely, Mike Tyson is still scary, and not just that, it seems that Jake Paul really respected him.

However, as what he said, at the end of the day, they are going to war against each other and so he really needs to overcome that fear and challenge himself. But if you think about it, Mike Tyson is already old and that's why he is a big underdog and we don't know if he can pull the trigger. Their is a big difference if you see him with his trainer, as compare to be in the ring. As maybe in just a couple of rounds, he will be running out of breath.

Who wouldn't be a bit scared of Mike Tyson? Man is an idol, an icon in the ring, a lot of boxers want to emulate him, a lot look up to him, a lot learn from him. So you going against your idol comes with a bit of fear, excitement, and everything. And for Mike to get in the ring, he's either there to win or maybe have a friendly match, but if he's not playing a friendly match, then he will most likely knock out Jake. That's why Jake has the fear because he might try his best but one serious punch from Mike can move him like five steps backwards.

Even though Mike is advanced in age and might be a senior very soon,  it doesn't erase the fact that he has tactics and years of experience that Jake is still growing and learning to have. Jake might be active and all of that, but you know there is this thing with tactics - knowing exactly where to punch, when to attack, and all of that.

So that's just how I see it. Jake might not be all that afraid, but there is this thought that this person is experienced and might just use one or two tactics to get me down.

Here is the video wherein he said that he is afraid of Mike,

.

Go moved to 4:30 and he says that he got a little scared when he sees Mike Tyson post on IG. And who wouldn't be afraid of the baddest man in the planet? Although this could be fun and for pure entertainment. But let's see if they will make it real and try to knock each other out.

I honestly don't know what to expect from this fight. Assuming they haven't some sort of agreement to take it easy on each other much like the last Tyson fight against Roy Jones Jnr which was obviously just an exhibition then it's 50/50 to me if they do go full force each. I think it's lose-lose for Jake though (leaving aside the insane amount of money he will have received). If he wins then he's beaten a near 60-year-old Tyson, and if he loses then he's lost to a near 60-year-old Tyson. If he KOs Tyson then a lot of people are gonna hate him for it. IF they do go full force anything can happen. Tyson is still vicious so could get an early KO but as the fight goes on it will lean in Jake's favour given his youth and stamina and he's gone the distance a couple of times especially with Tommy Fury, a current pro boxer (though an average one at that) so I could see Jake getting a stoppage or just wearing him down round after round.

I think I'm looking forward to the Taylor/Serrano rematch more. I actually think Serrano got robbed in the first fight but Katie won't have the home crowd (and possibly judges) on her side this time so might get a fairer shot.


Mike is still scary even at his age. Jake has said a couple of times he gets scared seeing some of Tyson's training footage but could just be trying to sell the fight.

There is no question about the experience, obviously, it will favor Tyson as he has been a pro and fighting since the 80's if you are not that aware of. And with that he is 58 years old and we all know that in this sports, age is a big factor.


That is his advantage, he is young and so if he know how to use it, then he can beat the legendary Mike Tyson. And for others who are looking at the odds and going to bet, the attractive one is the fight going to distance at 2.90.

I'm with Tyson in this fight since long term experience on boxing scene plus to many  difficult challenges has been face up by the legend, so for sure he would not gonna messed up with this fight.

Although we can say that Paul is young, but that doesn't really mean he has the advantage of this fight. Although as said this is an exhibition fight only for sure this is still entertaining that's why lots of people talking about this match up and want to see if Tyson still capable to box even if this is not a pro fight. November 15 is near and now I'm also thinking to bet in favor of Tyson.

After so many postponements, it finally seems like the fight will happen. Here in my country, the advertisements have already started everywhere, especially since boxing is in the news because of Acelino Popó Freitas and the death of Adilson Maguila. I would bet on Mike, even though the fight is just for entertainment, I believe that Jake Paul will not be able to knock Mike down. He is well prepared, and he is completely different from when he ended his career.

In both late performance records, Mike Tyson has been undisputable compared to Paul.
The physique and experiences attained by Mike Tyson has the potential to pave him winning. I would not want disputes the fact that he is 58 at age would be a barrier to him to counter Paul who is just 27.

If I can read the ambition of Mike Tyson, he would apply all devouring muscles and tactics to bring Paul down just to make history of all time again after other legends who had formally encountered Paul but were all beaten by the young, active and vibrate boxer of Paul.

Assuming I will bet on this match, I will be betting on Mike Tyson to win. If I loose too much is bet which are unpredictable and not a shame on Tyson for loosing my bet. Hence... It a kudos to him of standing out.

I'm not sure if you have followed this fight, but this is originally scheduled in July, until Mike Tyson had a ulcer and so it was postponed and then re-scheduled this November. Yes, this is going to be shown in Netflix, and if you are subscribed to their service, it's going to be free.


Almost everyone has the same feeling, Mike is old and he might not pull the trigger anymore. Although there are videos of him practicing and he seems to look strong. But that is different when you go to a ring with a young boxer like Jake Paul. And then others see that Mike might have problems with his gas tank as he could tired and not last the full fight.

I thought this was just a rumor 4 months ago, but now it seems like it will happen. I found this on Netflix that makes me curious after trying to search about Jake Paul he is younger than Mike Tyson almost half of his age.

I have mixed feelings about Mike Tyson because he is older and has less training than a younger fighter, and I am concerned about his health. However, Mike Tyson is a legendary heavyweight boxer with devastating knockout power. I believe Mike is going to lose this fight, but my bet is still with him.

Yeah, there are rumours he will get a minimum of $20 million for the fight, but, it could be double that, contingent on some other factors. Either way, he will earn more than many champions (especially in lower weight classes) earn in their lifetimes.
I'm not sure how realistic Mike is in assessing his own abilities. In the interviews I've seen, he seemed a bit deluded, but maybe it was him just trying to do his part to sell the fight.

I wish him all the best though and even considering placing a small bet on him, given the odds are pretty decent.

I don't think Mike still thinks he has it in him.  Just before they announced this fight Mike said that he thought he was going to die soon.  Even now he is saying that he doesn't need to be the old Mike Tyson to win, he just needs to be 10% of what he was.  I just hope we see a good entertaining fight, I hope Mike gets himself at least $20 million and most importantly, I hope we don't see Mike Tyson get hurt out there.  I do wonder what the final payday for Mike will be.  I'm guessing it's got to be between $20-100 million.

Many professional athletes have a hard time accepting the fact they're no longer in their prime and it's time to quit for good. But I don't think it will be much of a stain in his career. It's not he has a perfect, 100% win record. He has 6 losses on his record, 5 by KO and 1 by disqualification for biting Hollyfield's ears. There already are some stains there, one more won't make much difference. Apparently he still thinks he has it in him and the money is probably better than what he had got for most fights in his prime age. I can't blame him for trying.

From what I’ve read in some articles, this fight is not an exhibition but a sanctioned bout that will be reflected on each boxer’s professional record. However, I do agree that Mike Tyson is too old for this and should have retired from boxing. Yet, the money involved in this fight is too huge to turn down.

Hold on a sec, lemme get this straight; I thought they were already done competing? I may have missed an update on this match but, I can recall engaging so well on a prediction thread about this match and since then, I haven't heard nor seen anything... Is it happening again or something?
So clearly, Mike feels he's still in his mid-prime to defeat against Jake Paul? Hmm... I don't wanna sound like a weirdo ( cus ofcourse, if Mike were to see this comment, he'll see me as one) but I feel it's a bit unnecessary to stain his career. Yes, I know exactly WTF iron Mike Tyson was, and I understand even more what old age can do to the strongest of the beast!
Don't quote me, I'm not saying Jake's gonna win... I'm just tryna get more specificities as this was previously set as a friendly competition, no?

Just to clear up some confusion - this fight is not an exhibition fight. It is sanctioned and will be reflected in the boxing records of both fighters.
It's going to be an official fight under non-standard rules:

We don’t need to overhype this exhibition match as it’s already been hyped a lot. You have a good point; this could end up being full of clinches since Tyson may struggle to match the speed of a younger Jake Paul. If we’re banking on Tyson’s legendary power, we’re mistaken- that was a long time ago. He doesn’t have that KO power anymore, especially against a young, active boxer.

Let’s just see this as a pure exhibition match. I wouldn’t recommend betting on it if you don’t want to be disappointed, who knows, it could even be scripted. My only hope is that Tyson stays safe, as he might take some heavy punches. If Jake Paul is considerate, he won’t take it too seriously against the older legend.
