Mike Tyson Vs Jake Paul.

Post by weeksy »

Social media and the like are once again getting worked up that this may actually happen.

Seeing his sparring videos he's looking incredibly mean for a very old boy is Tyson.

Will this happen? Will the actually fight properly? Or are we destined to see a stage show?

Meh, another example of boxing becoming a joke sport. I used to love proper boxing but the last 15 odd years it's gone rapidly downhill. Dodgy fixed results, pretend fighters etc

It's a bloody farce, Tyson was finished back after the first Holyfield fight and even Danny Williams, who was domestic level at best beat him, he's an old man although he's probably as strong as a bull who is relying on muscle memory.

Jake Paul looks like he's juiced to the eyeballs, and although he can do the drills in the gym, he has only ever fought one opponent who actually wanted to win and was beaten. What's really galling is that was Tommy Fury who's basically a male model.

It boils down to an old man who could fight and a young man who can't fight. I just hope Tyson loses his rag and lands a solid hook on Jake Paul's jaw, hopefully that'll get rid of him for good.

Kinda hoping he lands that one punch that puts the fucker in a wheelchair & unable to wipe his own ass for the rest of his life.

He can't be accused of not training.

Yes, fuck him. He should be forced to carry a plant around to replace the oxygen he's stealing.

I find it hard to believe that Tyson is 2/1 to win this with Jake Paul being way odds on favourite.

If Tyson is even half the fighter he was (and looks like he is) the he's winning inside I'd the first round.

Will he be allowed to ? Or indeed can he?

Maybe I'm a lot rose tinted glasses here, but Tyson was insane back in the day

Just seen its 2 minute rounds and 14oz gloves. They'll be wearing head protection next. :roll: I really wish Tyson wasn't doing this, well, unless he does knock teh crap out of Paul, but even then I've really started to feel its a tacky end to his career.

That’s because it comes under exhibition and that’s the rules for exhibitions.

I thought that was lifted so they could knock the shit out of each other?
