Definitely glad to see this is being sanctioned, but I'm still not thrilled with the rules... a real fight that counts shouldn't have short rounds and heavier gloves

They're grown men, take off the training wheels

Still think Tyson rocks him, dude is taking it seriously by swearing off sex and weed... Paul has never ever faced anything even close to Mikes boxing skill level

I don't understand why it has to be a real fight that will count against Tyson's record?

If it isn't real, why would anyone give a shit about some worthless exhibition that doesn't count for anything?

You can't sell this as some Roy Jones Jr nonsense, both camps are talking strong and look to be treating this seriously... they both wanna **** around and find out

But these short rounds and heavy gloves are garbage, make it a real fight or don't even do it... still trying to deal with the mental anguish of finding a decent stream for this thing

I guess. Makes sense anyway, in terms of marketing this thing.


With you about the streaming thing. Can't decide how much I want to watch this. Part of me is still just disgusted that boxing has fallen to such a low point.

It’s live on Netflix. Updated the OP.

Netflix can suck on it, I'm not paying them a single thin dime

Mike vows to end Jake Paul's career. From a Top Boxing interview.

In his own words, Mike Tyson declares, "If you think I signed the contract for money, you're mistaken. I'm here to retire him early, so he can join his brother in WWE. He won't lay a finger on me; wait till fight night to see my age. While I like Jake personally, I'm a different breed. I'm doing the boxing world a favor. Enough of this nonsense; you'll see, I'm coming for his head

Man, what the **** did Netflix do to you?

I wonder who would win between Jake Paul and Bruce Lee.

I actually think he will defeat Paul soundly!

Fight’s delayed due to Tyson’s ulcer issue. At least 6 weeks?

I wondered from the beginning if this fight would actually happen. Probably saved Tyson from getting beat up

Tyson is so scared he gave himself an ulcer. Bet everything on Paul.

Rubbish, just delay it and let him heal up

Guarantee you he still has enough old man strength, and more than enough knowledge to dismantle the kid... its gonna be like Foremans comeback, even bigger

I’d bet good money this one never happens.

Yeah...

Steven Seagal vs Chuck Norris.

Make it happen. These two could have a comeback and film it as a movie.

Oh ye of little faith, Tyson will destroy him within two rounds

Paul will go to Tysons body hoping to aggravate the ulcer, but all it takes is one good uppercut from Tyson... people need to stop crying about it

Tyson is a grown man and if he wants another shot let him have it, he's earned that shot IMO... his camp is absolutely working, the pics/video of him just keep looking better and better

Dude is CUT for 57, he can handle this arrogant kid no doubt at all

Tyson’s brain must be applesauce at this point

It's pretty hard for an old guy to beat up a 27 year old man, especially if one is reasonably good at fighting.

Imagine a 27 year old euro league bball player vs today's Charles Barkley. It would be a blood bath.

Go suck eggs, dillhole... Tyson can put knots on Pauls head faster than he can rub' em

Brought to you from the same guy who said any guy under 40 who played high school basketball can beat Caitlin Clark 1 on 1.

Oh trust me I hate Jake Paul. I hate everything he represents but it's going to be really difficult for Tyson to win this match. Old people cannot compete with good athletes in their prime.

I said under 38, that was a starter who still plays. I even said she could play on some boys basketball teams. I'm not really even sure why that is an outlandish take. She's a great great player but we are talking about basketball which is one of the most difficult sports for women to compete against men in.

You think Mahomes at 37 loses to Clark one on one? It might be kinda close at 37 but Mahomes would absolutely smoke her right now if he was regularly playing bball.

If we were talking about golf, tennis, ping pong the gap is much smaller.

Did you play basketball in high school? Did you not ever compete against the players on the girls team? I can't even begin to compare the gap. I only played freshman and sophomore basketball before I quit because no way in hell was I making varsity. Granted my school won the state title when I was a senior but the girls team was Top 5 in state, too.

Ngh
To clarify, I thought this fight wasn't going to happen. Looks like it will. I don't think Paul is deserving of winning. I don't think he will. I wouldn't put it past Tyson to treat this like a real fight and try and push Paul to round 4 with jabs, tie ups and occasionally body shots. Then Tyson goes absolutely nuts with left hooks rights to the body and then an uppercut. Lather, rinse repeat. Paul is top heavy and not all that fast. Tyson hates white boxers and Internet bros with a passion. This is a race war to him and probably his last boxing match. He has the most to win and the least to lose. I bet Paul definitely has horse cum in his veins for this one while Tyson probably just gets his knees shot up with whatever, pops a nugenix and is master of his domain for a month.

They are VERY sensitive about her. I got thread banned for no reason for pointing it out

I love how you say “any guy” and then cite Mahomes as an example and admit it might be “kinda close” when he’s that age.

Troll better or be less stupid. I’m not even sure which it is at this point.

I hope Tyson beats Paul like a rented mule.

I really don't want to see this happen. Tyson was an icon while I was growing up and would hate to see him go out on a low note. Also, met him at a bar once and chatted it up for about an hour. The guy is as cool and humble as you can be as long as your not wearing boxing gloves and in a ring with him.

This is coaching years.

Need I remind some of you of when I was 25 and in my prime I met a mountain of a man that was 60 yrs old?

I won out but looks are deceiving!

Never underestimate age with health and experience!

Mikes gonna coldcock him within 3 at the most

I think Tyson's knocking out Paul this weekend would be more satisfying than Chenal's blocking a Tyler Bass game-winning FG with time expiring.

Jake Paul knocking out Mike Tyson would be the funniest timeline.

Unfortunately I think Tyson goes down but Id love to see him win.

I don't really see how a 58 year old man beats up a 27 year old man. We aren't talking about any 27 year old. We are talking about someone who is at least a trained fighter. Doesn't have to be great, just good enough.

It would be unfortunately Tyson was losing to guys provably worse than Paul 20 years ago

This is an officially sanctioned boxing match. Does that mean it’s in the up and up? The best man wins, not a victor is already decided. I’d like to bet some money on Tyson.

Serious question. Has Jake Paul even fought a skilled boxer yet? Let alone beat one?

Just based on everything he's said and done leading up to this, its just different for Mike this time

Lets face it he went out badly with some ugly losses, DQs etc... and now he knows that at his age this is his last chance to make some real noise, and put an annoying upstart in his amateur ass place

And cashing in like a mfer at the same time, its a win/win for Mike

How you know he's dead serious, is coming back after the ulcer scare... he could've shut it all down with his legacy still intact after that, but no he wants one more shot at blistering some fool with one last classic uppercut KO

You seen Tyson’s current physical physique. He’s ripped.

LMAO Come off it. He just wants money and is promoting the fight like he should. I feel a bit of pity for him, as he must be in some dire financial straits to even entertain the thought of fighting this grifting e-celeb "boxer"

ITS STILL REAL TO ME DAMMIT!

LMAO right? This is old school carny rasslin 101.

You've chosen the most cynical explanation possible

I choose to believe he wants to show the world one last flash of his old glory before its entirely too late...he didn't train like this for the Roy Jones Jr exhibition

Of course money is part of the equation, but smart money says he'll be coming out fast and furious at the bell

At 58, he needs to end it asap

Can't wait...

LMAO 'one last flash of his old glory'? For real?!? He's fighting one of the Paul brothers. I just went and looked out of morbid curiosity, the dude has made a career beating up washed out UFC fighters and failed sports stars.

Your food SUCKS NOW!11

Bwahahahahaha. There's even a 3 part docuseries about them training for this farce. No wonder Mike is going all out.

Oh blow it out your ass, I'm plunking down my $60 or whatever

I wanna see Paul comatose on the canvas

Feel free to spend your disposable income however you see fit. But yeah, Tyson has always been a carny at heart, and this is no different.

Good news is, if you have Netflix, it's free with your normal subscription.

I hope it's real and I hope Paul gets knocked the **** out. Can't stand those brothers

Calling it now, Paul starched via vicious uppercut early in the third... can't wait

Sorry man I'm just too old and stuck in my ways to cave into all of this new streaming shit/old man screams at cloud

Netflix
Hulu
Amazon Prime
Disney +
Paramount +
HBO MAX
This one
That one
The other one

Ain't nobody got time for all that

The future is now, old man!

I pick a few of them at a time and watch what I want and then cancel and rotate around them. Cheaper than cable and better programming.

It's a sanctioned bout, not an exhibition, from what I've heard and read.


So Mike won't be interested in carrying Jake. Or he shouldn't be. To have a reasonable chance of winning, Mike will need to come out pretty hot, imo. Maybe feel things out in the first but come out guns blazing in the 2nd. Put this poser on the deck as early as possible.

I think we’d all like to see a flash of Mike Tyson circa 1986-88 against Paul. That’s not only improbable but illogical to expect. Yes, his 30 second training videos are impressive and he looks imposing regardless of age. But Father Time is undefeated, and JP only needs to drag him past the third round and this will likely devolve into what it really is; an old man nearly 30 years past his prime getting worn out by a mediocre amateur.

Hope I’m wrong, but I think we’re all in for a disappointment.

Go fight a random 27 year old ripped man. Let me know how it works out for you.

When is this happening?

Friday

It’s free on Netflix. Get somone to share their password.

Ditto !

I wonder how much advertising is going to be in these matches. It's going to get a ton of eyeballs Id think

If he's smart, he won't come out blazing. Paul is sure to know that he probably will and he'll clutch and run and allow Mike to wear himself out. That's gonna be Tyson's biggest hurdle, stamina.

If he comes out like classic Mike, he'll pick his shots cause he only needs to catch him once and it's lights out.

Nothing i want to see more in this world than Tyson catching him full on with an uppercut or hook and putting Paul right to sleep.

Paul looks like he’s got a bit of a gut going on.

He was worth over 10 mill in 2021.

$10M is certainly a lot of money, but depending on his lifestyle these days that $10M might be the same way me and you look at $10K.

i'm not defending tyson but like he's always said ****ed up shit to people. i remember him telling another boxer "i'm going to rape you until you love me bundle of sticks"

having a career that is literally taking punches to the head does bad shit to your brain, who knew

This better be a legit fight and if Tyson doesn’t win, it will be sad. I’m sure it will go the distance considering the hype.

Some of the rules are that the rounds are 2:00 minutes instead of 3:00.
Gloves are 14 ounce instead of the normal 10 ounce.
I can't confirm this but I think I heard Rogan talking about how Tyson doesn't get paid if he knocks Paul out in the first couple of rounds. He only get's his full contract pay if they go the distance.
Tyson has said he doesn't care about the money so we'll see how that one works out.

Yeah, I agree about the stamina thing. My point was the same I think; Mike isn't going to be able to go the distance, imo. He needs to end it relatively quickly, by the 4th rd or so. I think he can because at the end of the day, Jake Paul is a hack, not a real boxer. And Mike was an assassin. He's never been in the ring with a true pro in his prime, and he never will, because he knows he'd get crushed.

Which is why I hope Mike can put him to sleep, as you say.

Why would the Boxing world sanction as a legit fight but allow full payment to one boxer only if it lasts to the 3rd round? That sounds like BS.

I'm an old school Tyson fan. I would love to see him catch Paul and put him to sleep but most times things like this don't end well for the old guys. Jake Paul has beaten some good fighters. Nobody with the resume of Tyson but at 60 years old, my mind tells me this is gonna end bad for Tyson.

I agree that probably this won't end well. But I don't remember Paul fighting a single good pro boxer anywhere near their prime. Who did he box that was any good?

Tommy Fury is the only legitimate young boxer that Paul has faced and Fury is ranked like #38 in his division.

Tyson will make what, 20 mil?
This will be a shit show but Netflix will cash out bigly.

So, he's only beaten a slate of nobodies/has-beens? About what I figured. The little I've seen of him, I don't see anything special at all.

Lost to him as well IIRC.

No, there's nothing at all special about him. He's part of the 'content creator' generation only he does it while people are swinging at him.

Fury beat him, ftr. He'll never get in the ring with a legitimate top 20, young boxer cause he'd get his ass kicked.
