Turns out this will become a professional fight and it will go into each fighters professional career results as well, I did not expected this because it is 100% obvious that it is an exhibition match and nothing more. They are doing this only for the money and nothing more. I get that some fans will want to see something serious, because it has the potential to be a serious fight but to be fair I am definitely certain that we are not going to get a serious fight here, one of them is a youtubers brother and the other is a 50+ year old retired boxer, result shouldn't really matter here.
In any case, there are things that is required when it is professional fight, like medical expert team ready with all the gadgets, so that makes me feel better about this fight for sure.
Only time will tell if it's an exhibition or not but it will be obvious once the fight starts whether it is or not.
Why nobody is discussing that the fight is going to be as a heavyweight fight?
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
), so stamina factor might not be so obvious on Jakes side.
No, it's a big difference in weight, so he will be at a disadvantage here but maybe he will try to go as heavy as he can. But remember Mike Tyson is not that big though, he can make this fight around 200'ish pounds so that is good enough for Jake Paul to at least make 190++ pounds.
Yes, that's what I'm seeing here, gas tank of Mike Tyson is no longer that deep, even if he trains a lot here, he will still be a at disadvantage because of his age. So not sure how Jake Paul can take advantage of that. Maybe he will try to tire Mike Tyson in the first 5 rounds.
Mike will probably try get an early KO as I think that's the only way he wins here. Mike needs to use his superior boxing skills and experience to his advantage because the longer the fight goes on the better for Jake as he can use his youth and energy to just take him down like a wounded animal.
If we speak about muscles, then for a person who has bern training for a long part of his life it isnt hard to maintain them in good shape. Muscles have memory. On the other hand, pile of muscles gives some advantage in boxing, but they are not game changers. But the body in general and reflex are from being in peak form. Anyway, this fight is not about whl wins, but imho it is about one boxer meets legend, other returns in the ring and show that what battle pensioner is capable of, spectators get fun, investors money.
Mere muscles don't mean anything without technique and cardio, otherwise we'd see all bodybuilders in the sport and dominating. It can even be a disadvantage because more muscles also means you require more oxygen to them and that means you can gas out and tire easier.
