I'm not sure if that slap was staged or not but Tyson looked pretty fast with it and Paul couldn't even react.
People are saying that both of them are on steroids and I wouldn't be surprised by that at all. Mike Tyson admitted in the past of being on TRT. I don't think they will be subject to testing, although I might be wrong as the fight is officially sanctioned.
Paul looked visibly bigger than Tyson, but, as per their official weights, Mike was very slightly heavier, weighing 228.4 compared to Jake's 227. Anyhow, Jake's the heaviest he's ever been, so probably his speed and cardio will suffer a bit.
I believe bookies give Tyson slightly less chance than a few days ago, but still more than they did initially.

The slap was for real, he hit hard, I think it's part of the atmosphere of the fight, it's an entertainment event.
However, watching the training videos, it's clear that Jake Paul has no boxing skills, he seems kind of robotic, while Tyson is really scary, he's like a ferocious animal ready to kill... impressive.
Tyson is not young, but I think that he will not drag out this fight, a few rounds and Jake is finished. Let him shout about it being personal as much as he wants, first you need to think about your behavior so as not to entail unexpected consequences.
Tyson and Paul did a face to face that is on Jake Paul's channel, and the way Tyson looks at Paul when he says he's going to win is an evil look, like a killer's, I was impressed by that and for sure Tyson will go in to win, the look of this man terrifies anyone. The fight will be at 10:00 pm here in my country, I'm going to order a pizza and watch Tyson crush Jake Paul.
And that's what we wanted in this fight, I mean leading to this slap, they are all respectful to each other. But Mike fired the first shot already and you can see that Jake's reaction that he was really surprised.
They interview Mike but it seems that he was really mad at something that Jake Paul did prior to the weigh in and face off.
But still though, this is just a exhibition fights and we should treat it that way. It could have been scripted for all we know just to take notice to all casual boxing fans that they should watch this fight and bet.

There was a video of Mike Tyson talking about how his feet is screwed up and from the video at the weigh-in we could see that Jake steps on his foot so Mike was probably in pain, which could be a good reason for it. I do not think that it would be to sell more, makes no sense to do something like that, whoever wants to watch this will end up watching it anyway, don't think that they will end up watching just because of the slap at all. But I do agree with most people who say that this fight is scripted most probably. I do not know who will win but do not feel like it will be a fair fight, to be honest. One of them is HOF, probably the greatest of all time boxer but at nearly sixty years old, the other is a YouTuber who is not even a boxer and fought a few nobodies. So all in all, I would guess that no matter who wins this fight, I am not sure if I will consider this as a legit fight ever.
I thought that slap didn't happen but an AI generated 
I am not interested in betting on this match but this should be enough of a win for Mike. I guess he can lose the match tomorrow after all he already got a clean slap shot in their face off. They are all set already. Tomorrow will be like may the best old man win. Either Stipe or Mike. Or both could lose in their last dance.

Oh that was a nice slap
Guys I have to say that Mike Tyson looks amazing for his age, and this slap was just a part of the show and mind games.
I think Iron Mike is in better head space now in the end of 2024 than when he was young and angry, but you need mind and body combination working perfectly to win fights.

You mean this video?
Not sure what to make about it, could be just part of their plan to sell the fight. We all know that it's their final face-off so they will have to make a lot of fuzz on it.
So it's possible that it is scripted, you seen Jake's reaction and it seems that he is ok. Although Mike really looks in shape, but I do not think that it will be enough for him to win the fight.
The slap video has been trending. Some say Jake was doing a monkey walk as a racial insult to Mike Tyson, others say Jake Paul stepped on Mike Tyson’s foot. I think it was arranged to create more buzz for their fight. I don’t have any expectations for this fight, everything about it looks staged and I don’t think it’s going to be a real fight. Jake Paul isn’t a tough guy and I’m certain he wouldn’t consent to the fight if he was going to fight Mike Tyson for real.

Mike's action is far more disrespectful from Jake Paul's thrashtalking antics, I'm sure Jake is going to make pay for his disrespect, but can he do that to Mike Tyson, who is on top of the condition?
Well, what can I say... Mike will get 20 million for the fight. You can lose for this money. I bet on Paul. Based on this logic, Jake is not a boxer, he is a talented media figure who promotes himself, and it would be stupid of him to lose even to a star like Mike for his own money. However, I can give counterarguments to this point of my own.
Therefore, my bet is still at random.

Because in the end we can see that just one slap at the weigh-ins creates a lot of traffic in the news which is certainly more favorable in terms of sensation because if you look at the current news headlines Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are clearly elevated in terms of popularity and the fight is currently quite anticipated by many people.
Speaking of winning Im actually more inclined towards Mike for this match, it can't be denied that the age gap might be an obstacle in body fitness but in the end I will still be on Mike's side for the stakes in this fight.

There is no doubt that the slap was real, but still, the feeling of a performance aimed at the viewer does not leave. This slap just caused a new discussion on the network and again heated up interest in the event. There is no doubt that the fight was fixed, but I am sure that the show will still be and fans of both sides will be satisfied. Experience against youth, the viewers will definitely be satisfied, tomorrow I will watch it again, since in my region it will be early in the morning.However, watching the training videos, it's clear that Jake Paul has no boxing skills, he seems kind of robotic, while Tyson is really scary, he's like a ferocious animal ready to kill... impressive.
The slap is intended to heighten the emotion and cater interest of the viewer. I think it was scripted and I also agree with one of the reply that the fight will also probably an scripted one, and it won't be a surprise because the fight is supposed to be an exhibition fight although it was sanctioned officially due to the request of Mike Tyson.
Tyson is not young, but I think that he will not drag out this fight, a few rounds and Jake is finished. Let him shout about it being personal as much as he wants, first you need to think about your behavior so as not to entail unexpected consequences.
They met in 1999 and today Friday November 15 2024. Mike Tyson is not a old man that Jake Paul will beat in boxing. And one thing is, boxing needs experience and endurance. So we will see who will win again today. Jake Paul has fought for three times in this year and this fight was scheduled in July 20 2024 but because of the health issue of Tyson, it was rescheduled to the 15 of November 2024 which is today.
True that in boxing having an experience and endurance is and advantage but the question with Mike Tyson is, is he as durable as he was when he is in his prime? I think no. So for me experience is nothing if it is not backed by the ability to receive punches from the opponent plus the limiting factor of being an aged man. An I think this is one of the main concern of Tyson's camp though I believe that a single shot can solve this issue since I also think that the punching power of Tyson is still there.

I'm not a boxing expert, but today I logged on to my betting site and saw that the odds for Mike Tyson to win are 3.0 
I'm about to take a chance and place that bet hehehe
I know that Jake Paul has won some good fights and even surprised a lot, but we're talking about one of the greatest boxers who ever lived.
There have been a few fights of this type that I've seen, and almost all of them, even the older ones, the boxers who were professionals won, it seems that they never forget how to hit

I didn't expect that at the weigh-in, I'll say my opinion that Jake continued to fool around, and Mike definitely takes it more seriously, he is one of the best fighters of all time and it is clear that he does not like this circus. A fighter should show respect, and not creep up on you like Jake did, I think Mike's reaction is justified.
He was one of the best fighters back in the day, but he’s also proven to be a versatile actor with quite a few movies where he is part of. Here are a couple of them:1. The Hangover (2009) – Comedy
2. Ip Man 3 (2015) – Action
So honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if this fight ends up being scripted as it's not exactly a new territory for Mike T.
The slap was probably scripted but with what preparations they have made in Texas, I believe they'll go all for the fight. The rounds are shorter and the gloves thicker. On boxing, all you hit is with your gloved hand and when the gloves is thick, the impact and pain are less. There would be nearly no chances of a Knock out. We could expect to see more of the technical side of game where they dodge and hit.
So, it would feel more like a scripted one even when not everything is scripted. The physical damage would be less while counting the points would be real. Who of them would win is a different topic. 30 years age gap and a respected figure, I don't think Jake Paul would go hard on Tyson.

Its just part of their plan to sell the fight. Since people would get curious about that incident happen and it fuel up the interest of many people following this match to happen to watch their match.
For me its scripted since you can look at the face of Paul after that incident happen. Seems like he's fine after the slap. If its true and the intention is to hurt for sure there would be more force apply and Paul would provably heavily feel that.
Mike is in shape he practice for long months for this fight.

Tyson seems scary and still have power.

Mike Tyson is old and tired but a real boxer/fighter... A real fighter is always the favorite, no matter how old he is, no matter how tired he is, no matter who he faces. If this fight is not a fixed fight, I think Mike Tyson will win... Some people say that Mike Tyson will be out of condition after the 2nd round, but this old wolf can put Jake to sleep with a punch at the right time and in the right place...
In a little bit more than 2 weeks from now, on 15th November, a highly controversial fight will take place between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. It's dubbed by many to be a profanation of boxing, and it's hard to disagree.
Nevertheless, it's happening, so worth having a dedicated thread to discuss.
Most experts agree that it should be an easy win for Paul, that includes his former opponents, Ben Askren and Mike Perry:
https://talksport.com/boxing/2206286/jake-paul-ben-askren-mike-perry-mike-tyson-prediction/
But still, it's Mike Tyson, a former undisputed heavyweight champion, who despite his age (58) still knows how to throw a punch. Some training footage:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBIAwVnt_1U
The odds for Mike are currently at x3.40, so could be a good bet. All he needs to do is to successfully explode early on before he gasses out. I wouldn't be putting any serious money on that though.

We don't know yet for Paul, though he's younger enough compared with Mike it's not guaranteed that he'll will against him. The power on Mike has already a stablished record and it's really a huge history on him. That would be a plus factor regardless of his age, but this young man should strive harder to bear this legendary Mike Tyson.
