Topic: [Boxing profanation] Jake Paul Vs Mike Tyson - 15th November - page 7. (Read 3091 times)

I guess let's not forget the fact that he had a near-death experience a few months before the fight happened. When that has been announced, I already knew that this would become a hindrance towards Tyson going all-in against the younger Paul. As for the "just a show" statement, we already know that it's just for the show. I mean we consider boxing as an entertainment and what's the purpose of entertainment? To have a show to the fans and to the people hence, the fight did just that.

As for the whole event being pre-arranged, I saw a Facebook post a few days after the match and with that post, it shows what both fighters will be doing all throughout each round. I didn't read it whole, but it's like "Paul will do like this" while "Tyson will launch forward punch, and Paul will move back" something like that. At that post, it's like the whole match is scripted at all. Of course, we don't know if it's true or not, but one thing's for sure. Most fans are a bit disappointed on the whole fight because that's something that they didn't expect, and both fighters ended up having huge money by entertaining their fans all around the world.

Rather simply after the first round when Jake Paul missed a couple of punches, he realized that even such a Tyson is extremely dangerous and one of his punches even in this condition can send him to knockout, so after 3-4 rounds there was essentially no activity on the part of Jake Paul and at the end it was seen that Jake Paul in general respects Tyson and apparently really does not want to knock him out, although Mike still missed punches, but stood all these 8 rounds.
Mike himself described everything perfectly in his post and I like his attitude to this fight, despite the fact that many people call this fight fake, it was watched by 60 million people and not every championship fight is watched by so many people as the fight of 58 year old Tyson.

He had crack Tyson several times, I think if he just wanted to knock him out, he will go for it. But I guess he really respect Mike Tyson because at the end round 8, you can see him bowing. So it's enough for him to win.


He had called Canelo Alvarez, I think he sign his death wish there. If Canelo will go and answer him back with what he wanted to received to a fight, then it can be made by Netflix and MVP again. But we all know that Canelo is a real boxer and so Jake will have a problem with that. Unless there is a script that Canelo won't be knocking out Jake Paul and the fight will go for entertainment only.

I do think they downplayed the severity of Mike’s condition before this fight to help make it a big event. I feel a little bit bamboozled by the footage they showed of Mike training. He only had about 30 good second of fight in him and then it was just a show the last 7 1/2 rounds. Glad Mike got paid and seems to be ok now.

No brutal combos and it looked like both were holding back to entertain everyone with longer fight until the final round.
Even though we all know Paul got the win, for me Mike Tyson is the champion because at 58 he was still able to fight well and was able to avoid Paul punches, even Mike Tyson landed some hard hooks, I was happy with the result without having to see Mike Tyson lose by KO and yes they both came out with lot of money and we were entertained by this fight.

The rules of the fight ensure the boxers’ safety. With 2-minute per round and both fighters wearing 14-ounce gloves, the fighters are relatively safe. Although I’m not a fan of the fight, I still watched it to see if any untoward incidents would happen to Mike Tyson. Fortunately, nothing did. I believe there was no agreement to avoid punching in the face; Jake Paul was just hesitant, likely fearing a powerful punch from Mike Tyson.

However, what did everyone expect from the performance of Jake Paul? Did everyone expect that Jake will knockout Mike Tyson? I was honestly expecting this heheheh. But on watching the fight, I was thinking for myself that this Jake Paul is not a very good boxer, how can he knockout the Iron Mike Tyson who was a real professional in this sport?

I reckon this Jake Paul should fight a real boxer similar to Tommy Fury. Everyone knows already that all of Jake's boxing fights are only shows of comedy.

Tyson had a health scare months ago, so I believe, it was not because he was holding back but his health really was not great to do some aggressive action inside the ring. Maybe, he didn't tell it to his fans before hand because they will know what can happen. And with that for sure, Paul knew his health condition, thus, not really giving Tyson a hard hit. Both parties knew the situation, the reason why we didn't witness a monster-like fight. I believe, they also pushed thru this fight because of the large sum of money involved. At least, Tyson's share can be used to his retirement and for sure, it is looking good now!



Mike's tweet

I disagree though that we might have write that down the Tyson has ruined his legacy. If he really understand boxing today, this fight is for entertainment and for the money especially that this could be Mike's biggest paycheck at $20 million. So we will understand where Mike Tyson is coming from.

But as far as him winning the fight, we all know that it's not going to happen as he is old and we can see that he had like a knee brace or something and that is a indication that he might be slow in this fight and that's what happen.

I know someone will say that we have been scam in this fight, and yeah, that's what really happen here, it's not that excitement as the women's fight between Serrano and Taylor.

True. It was a sad event for both fighters I would say but at the end of the day I can understand Tyson of why he do it + the money really worth it for him. However , like you said above , his movements in the ring for his age was amazing to watch and you could felt it that he could KO Jake at any moment which he didn't and in the end the entire fight was a circus.

he might have held back a lot but it was clear on the match that he was having trouble keeping up with Jake Paul (which is understandable), jake paul also had a chance to knockdown/knockout Mike Tyson in round 3 but he didn't. the whole fight was just a disappointing entertainment show, I wish no fight like this happens again. In the end, both of them walked out with a lot of money which is what they are really after and is the sole reason why this fight happened.

I agree and on top of that, nobody would post public videos that show how you look at the end of a hard training. It is of course all made in a way that it gets the crowd around the world pumped for the fight. The few short streams they published did indeed look as if Mike Tyson still is this aggressive unstoppable machine, but as you said as soon as he goes into the ring, things change and they change on many levels. A fight in the ring is tough and exhausting already, but you can't simulate the mental pressure and the excitement and the increased rest heart rate because of the crowd in the stadium and the expectations.

Everyone here who has had high pressure situations, may that be as a young person when you have to hold a presentation and are nervous or in sports, once the day is over you realize how exhausted you are. All of this combined really brought Tyson close to crossing his limits.

Though one thing I don't know. There might have been an upfront agreement that the goal should not be to punch Tyson as hard in the face as possible if the opportunity arises. He is almost 60 years old and I think this could mean a high medical risk. If he gets a punch with maximum force against his head, I wouldn't want to see how he falls like a chopped tree and hits the floor with his head. It's possible there was at least some agreement, but I don't think anything was fixed.

$20 million, I have read some news outlet stating that Tyson now ruined his legacy. I bet everyone who writes such lines would immediately agree to jump into the ring with Paul for $20 million. I can tell for sure that I would and I'd be fine getting wrecked.

Unfortunately, the whole fight was just a show fight and everybody could see very clearly that Mike Tyson was holding back a lot. His movement was top for a 58 year old men and he had several chances alone in the first round to land a direct hit after the right defense, but every time he had a chance he throttled his punch and there is no reason for that in boxing. I would understand if he didn't hit his target right but not even trying is something else. For me, the whole event was just pure show and prearranged.

That is true, whether we're too invested in our physical health and we train our body everyday until we get old, our body are also going to age and the tissues, muscles, etc. Just like how it proves to be with Mike Tyson. But, if there's a real winner there, my winner is Mike and not Jake because of the courage that he had shown and despite his age and the huge gap between the two fighters. I doubt that Jake will do this when he's on the same age as Mike and his opponent will be his age now.

Why did you not post that article? Or is it from a random guy comment that loses in the bet? If the fight was fixed, then Tyson should have won the match, or it should have been a draw to keep the reputation of both fighters.
Nowhere in the internet says its fixed; everyone is talking respect to Tyson for lasting a fight at his age, so we should not take the fight away from Jake Paul, The bout is what many analysts expected, because you cannot beat father time.

Yes, he did, a cool $355,000 bet on Mike Tyson

You can't say it's fixed, it's different when you train in the gym vs when you are in a moving target inside the ring. Sure in the training videos of Mike, he is aggressive, but Mike should not that punching bag are not going to punch bag. Just don't believed what you read. The odds will say that Mike has slim chances to win this fight. Everything is for the money here, Mike getting $20 million, or even higher, same with Jake Paul as his company MVP has partnered with Netflix to bring this fight. And it really didn't disappoint as far as box office record goes, everyone that is involved here had made their money.

Did Drake bet on the fight? I didn’t know that. Truthfully, the Drake curse is something that bettors should take seriously if they want to win more bets.

The fight was fixed. I noticed Mike Tyson was pulling his punches, his training videos I watched pre-fight was a different Mike Tyson than what I saw in the ring, his aggressiveness was not there. I later read online that there was a clause in his contract that said he can’t knockout Jake Paul in the fight. If that’s true then it certainly explains the whole show.

When I saw the Drake bet, I was already sure Tyson couldn't win. Drake is a litmus test, whatever he does you have to do the opposite. By the way, Drake doesn't lose any money, Stake sponsors him so he bets for free. If he had money from his own pocket, he wouldn't be making such forced bets all the time.
Getting back in the ring 20 years after he retired is an accomplishment in itself. Mike's legacy won't be hampered by this match. He just made some extra money, maybe more money in 16 minutes than we will ever make in our lifetime.

I don’t what I was expecting a fight between 58 year old Iron Mike Tyson fighting 27 year old YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul. The age difference between them is much, also Mike Tyson has reportedly suffered a serious health challenge this year that almost took his life. Mike Tyson was not in the best condition to be in the ring, even if his opponent is a weakling like Jake Paul. I think Mike Tyson just wanted to be in the ring again, winning or losing doesn’t matter to him at this stage of his life, he doesn’t have anything to prove to anyone and probably just wanted to have the feeling of being a professional boxer again.

I was feeling it was scripted. This was because Tyson looked so passive after the first round, or maybe, he was tired then stop attacking. But it was a boring game to watch, and it makes me think women's boxing looked much better than it.  

I'd rather call that as a show instead of a fight, but it's not entertain to watch an old man vs a young man. A fixed fight, maybe yes, may be no.
