Why nobody is discussing that the fight is going to be as a heavyweight fight? Cheesy When Jake was always a cruiserweight. Even though on the paper that can be only few kg difference, on the fight day, the difference might be +10kg. Jake will be having a debut as a heavyweight (already a soil for excuse if he looses Cheesy), so stamina factor might not be so obvious on Jakes side.

Perhaps he haven't follow boxing or exhibition matches as we all know that this is not a professional fight and as such, it will not end in 6 seconds because people big money just to see Mike Tyson. And if it ended it 6 seconds, it's going to be one of the biggest scams in boxing.
Officially this fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is now sanctioned as professional fight and it will count on both fighter records.
This is surprise for me, most people expected this to be exhibition fight without judges and with draw possibility because only knockout would count as a win.
Instead we are going to have eight rounds that are two-minute long, so there is a chance someone wins on points.


This is also a surprise for me. I wonder who insisted on converting it from exhibition to pro. Or why they have made such a change? Was it due to low ticket/ppv sales prediction? Because a professional fight sounds more attractive. And it seems that they have changed only name of the fight, while it still has crutches in rules. 2 minute rounds - because Mike cant handle tempo at this age? Or to give Jake extra chance to survive Mikes push?

Yeah, makes me wonder though, in any case, it is will be a pro then people might think that Mike has the advantage? However, the are factor will be again entering the picture as for sure he will have difficulty of surviving the full 12 rounds in this fight.

Or perhaps they just wanted to put more hype in this fight so that people even casual fans are going to be interested to see how Mike Tyson will go against a young and ambitious fighter in Jake Paul, really lots of questions here.

This will be among one of the top fights ever in history in boxing. From my observation and information Jake Paul simply want to make a name in boxing, and that's what he us working towards of which this fight can make such show.
I believe  Mike  will end this show in 6 seconds with a a super Knockout(KO) can't afford to miss this fight.
Let's not exaggerate, this is an exhibition fight, and that alone disqualifies it to ever become as important as you claim it can be, and if that was not enough this is a fight between an influencer and a boxer, which despite being at the top of the boxing word when he was a professional, he is way past his prime.

So if you are excited about this fight that is cool and all, but do not try to make this more than what it is, otherwise you will be disappointed when you watch the fight.

But I do agree, everyone is excited to see Tyson in the ring and maybe win here.

However, this could fight is not as what we expected, as base on the odds, Jake Paul is the favorite and not Mike Tyson.

Yes, and he is paying a lot for that name and probably a label in the future that will say "Terrible fighter". Because, to promote himself, it was necessary to bring a living legend out of the rest.

In terms of PPV numbers and live gates yeah why not? It could be a numbers that can land in the top 5 as far as money generation. Jake Paul doesn't need to make name in boxing though, but if you are referring to exhibitions fights yes, but pro boxing no.

Lol, 6 seconds knockout? that will be the fastest knockout, but I don't think it will be done by Tyson, unless this is a rigged fight. And if you look at the odds, Jake Paul is still the slim favorite. But as boxing fans, we want Tyson to win by knockout, but we will see. Hard to predict what will be the outcome on this fight.

From what I've read this isn't an exhibition match but an actual real professional fight.  Who knows what the truth actually is at this point, but that seems to be the big news of the day.  That begs the question of who the oldest boxer is to have ever fought in a professional fight all time.  I couldn't find any information about anyone over the age of 58 having ever been in a professional boxing match, so I think after this fight Mike Tyson will be one of the oldest to ever do it.  He does seem in great shape though.  We'll see how it ends for him.  Hopefully with a 30 second knockout of Jake Paul in the first round.

ESPN is reporting that it will be sanctioned as a professional fight. They will fight 2 minute rounds instead of 3 minutes and they will use 14-oz gloves, basically sparring gloves. If they need special rules then it clearly shouldn’t be considered a professional fight.

Texas is known for having a very corrupt commission so it doesn’t surprise me they would allow this. This is the same commission that allowed Antonio Margarito to fight when nobody else would license him due to the plaster hand wraps incident. They also barely do any PED testing. I could go on and on with examples of why they’re one of the worst commissions.

Jake is desperate for recognition and validation as a legitimate fighter. I am sure there was some quid pro quo involved for them to allow this complete sham to take place.

If ever he will be the one who will set the record I'm also hoping that Mike Tyson will knock out Jake Paul so it finally put to an end, one of Paul's boxing sagas, they are overstaying here in boxing and they made a lot of money beating MMA has been and newbies in boxing, the only one with credentials that he fought in the past was Tommy Fury which he losses.
It's time to put an end to that and hopefully, Mike is the one who will finish the job.

This is an exhibition match I hope Mike's training is enough to keep up with Jake's lack of experience Jake Paul will rely on his youth and be technical and try to win later when fatigue catches up with Mike.

in that condition especially if you are not training regularly.

The post I saw was Tyson has been in daily training for many years not just for this fight but to maintain his general health and discipline especially as he has not been so perfect at times in his life. The training was important to keeping up with a good general regime of health rather then the opposite.  With boxers or any professional athlete the problem is that muscle reverts to fat if not used and a heavy weight boxer has so much muscle to turn into fat if not used, so apparently he has been training at a far higher standard then normal to not suffer that flaw.  Of course even more training is needed for a fight, thats something else.
You'll see on his physique that he definitely do some workouts to maintain his muscle and strength but not like when he needs to prepare for a match just like in his early years of fighting. So as you can see in Tyson's Twitter account, his training is not for maintaining his health but rather training to fight which he get used too. Mike's body didn't changed that match but if you are going to compare his body from his latest video post in Twitter and from previous exhibition match from Roy Jones Jr. he definitely bulk a little bit in my opinion and more condition.

He has been preparing like a professional athlete, I find his current videos during training very inspiring, we consider that he is practically elderly... for example, I see people from my family or people on the street who are the same age as him, the difference it's impressive...

All of Tyson's changes in recent years show how much he dedicated himself... he was practically morbidly obese and transformed into a strong and fast body... And at this age his metabolism slows down and makes everything more difficult... yeah really impressive.

This shows the importance of exercises. That's why in the case of a real fight, without too much display or anything like that, it's very similar to the fight, because even with Mike's age, Mike's routine doesn't leave him behind.

Mike is one of the few retired boxers the community looked upon not only for his wisdom but how he keeps himself in top shape, but age is always a big factor in every athlete, there is a saying in boxing that the mind is willing but the mind cannot keep up, that's what DeLa Hoya complaint when he fought Pacquaio his mind wants to box Manny but his body cannot keep up, you know a boxer is on their retirement when they started having that thought and they hurt easily.

This is an exhibition match I hope Mike's training is enough to keep up with Jake's lack of experience Jake Paul will rely on his youth and be technical and try to win later when fatigue catches up with Mike.

of course, he is impressive at his age but we also have to consider that his opponent is also training to stay fit. Though Mike Tyson is a legend, he was a fearless boxer back in his time, but his time has already passed, it's time for the young ones and even if we criticized that Jake Paul is just a youtube sensation turn into boxers, we can't deny that he has all the tools to beat Mike Tyson.

I would say that those "daily training" probably were running, stretching, yoga. I doubt that he really put gloves and worked on a bag regularly, nor worked on paws or had sparred. What benefits he could have got from such training? I dont know. I dont know his daily routine. If he was chilling of the time, then they were useful. If he stayed active during day, then such trainings have little effect. I think those daily trainings were oriented on recovering past professional boxing career traumas he has got.

Nothing lasts forever
Mike Tyson is of 57 years now and with that age it becomes common to see the body in that condition especially if you are not training regularly.
Now that he is training hard and back in shape it will be good to see him in the ring again.
I wish it was a real match though and not just an exhitbition match with no winners.

Although there is a lot of disgust in Jake, he may actually win this fight because of his youth. Boxing is best when a person is young but for Mike at his age, that knuckle of him is likely in the most brittle condition. Once he throws a large uppercut, he will feel it and will likely not do it again. And he must felt it already during the sparring before the fight.

The best part of this is that Mike gets fit again and has training while making money out of it is one sweet deal. Regardless of the result, it's a win for him, and maybe this training will add 30 more years of his life.


Getting money out of the match and at the same time getting healthy for the match is like a double bonus.
The feeling must be great but I wouldn't say it would add 30 more years to his life.
No matter how good his training would be, if he doesn't continue his training then it would make much of a difference to his life.
May be 5 more years but that would be the max from his current training.
