They sanctioned two minute rounds and heavier than normal gloves. :shrug:
I'm not saying it's definitely true but I'm not discounting it either.

How is this guy even a thing? I hope Tyson has enough left in him to make an example of this poser.

This one is going to be entertaining AF, haven’t looked forward to a boxing event this much in a while.

I think Paul has no idea what he’s in for. He does not have the ability to reach into the darkness like Tyson does. He’ll get some shots in, but Mike is not losing to this dude.

So does the fight start at 7:00? Or does the card start at 7:00? I'm seeing seven fights on the card, so it could be after midnight before they actually fight.

I don't pay attention to boxing. Who is helped by heavier gloves?

Jake. Heavier gloves slow down punch speed and reduce impact forces.

That feels overly ambitious on several fronts but I hope you are right. All the aforementioned rules benefit Paul. Except maybe 2 minute rounds could possibly benefit the 58 year old. If Mike's winning it will need to be quick.

Vegas is taking bets. Those betters don’t bet on pre arranged outcomes.

I don't know man. this isn't Jones and Tyson fighting just to make a few bucks and prove nothing. Both of these guys are trying to prove shit. At the very least im pretty sure they'll be trying hard. Jake Paul will and for that reason Tyson will too.

Will it be though? I find it more likely to be a fake WWE “fight”

I think Tyson will win, but not for the reasons that you think. If they were both trying I would have Paul at a massive favorite but there is too much money involved. Paul will come out and look good then take a dive toward the end of the match to get a rematch.

Dollar signs

Tyson has always been such a fascinating character. He's like a Dickens character. A complete and utterly terrifying scumbag maniac on one hand, and on the other hand, a funny, generous, wholly interesting and almost charming figure. Sort of a man-child in many ways. Clearly damaged, but also doing what he can do tame the beast, so to speak...

I barely know anything about Jake Paul, but from what I know, he can kick bricks, and I hope Tyson puts him to sleep.

But man... Tyson has always been a tad overrated, though that might be due to the time of his incarceration. If he had those four years back... He was on the verge of a title fight after the second Razor Ruddock fight. And this was also when Holyfield, Moorer, Foreman, Morrison, Lewis and Bowe began to dominate the division. Tyson only ended up fighting Holyfield and Lewis out of that group, and he lost all three fights.

Truth is, Tyson never really fought and beat the absolute best at their prime, ever. I know that's a tough pill for many to swallow, but it's pretty true. It's a shame we never got to see what Tyson could've done from 1991-1995. Very strange career.

But we all know about his enormous power, and all it takes is one of those to clip Paul's chin, and he's gonna be making love to the canvas, 14 ounce gloves or not.

It would honestly be pretty humiliating to lose to this clown, even if there is a 30 year age difference, and would put another dent into his legacy as the "baddest man on the planet", so I really hope Tyson doesn't embarrass himself and turn this into a turdfest.

Keeping my expectations very low and hoping for the best.

Nah I feel like Jake Paul wants to be taken seriously as a fighter. I think he'll take it pretty seriously. I don't think Tyson usually would but he will if Jake is actually trying

I haven't followed this much, but I feel like Mike Tyson is going to hurt that dude. Jake Paul is a legit fighter but still.

Anybody see Tyson slap him at the face off? 🤣

Holy shit, are you serious? I need to look that up.

Looks like it starts at 9pm MST.

Just watched a replay of the Paul/Fury fight.

My thoughts:

Jake Paul's only opening is that lunging jab. Most of the time he's not even looking when he throws it, so it's usually high and off-target. He misses a lot. His only other real attack is that looping right, which is also inaccurate. He connected solidly with it just a couple times. Mostly he just completely whiffed, once nearly throwing himself out of the ring. The only time he had Fury remotely in trouble was when Fury walked into a straight left.

He comes straight in; he doesn't seem to know how to work the angles at all. He doesn't seem to have any real combinations to speak of, other than that lunging jab followed by that looping overhand right. He threw a few body shots, but again, he didn't throw any combinations worth mentioning.

His defense is basically wrestling. Other than that, he just gets his hands up around his ears and looks at the floor. He doesn't even move his feet half the time; he just stands there blind waiting for Fury to hit him, then he reacts.

His footwork is amateurish. Often he's flatfooted, his movement is basic and not very quick. And again, he seems to only know how to go backwards and forwards.

He is tough; Fury is the far more gifted puncher, more of the technician, and should've knocked Paul out, imo. The fact that Paul survived without getting knocked down says something about his toughness, because he ate several dozen jabs and at least a dozen short uppercuts to the chin area and didn't go down once.



But if that's the extent of Paul's fighting ability, he could get knocked out in the first round. Even in the first 30 seconds. Tyson at his best was a technician; his accuracy was unnatural, along with his speed and his power in small spaces. Tyson also knows how to work all the angles. His defense was superb, and he was great and getting inside the reach of taller fighters and savaging the body. Tyson's combinations were multiple and brutally efficient.

But if Paul turtles up by putting his hands up around his ears and just stands there looking at the floor more than a couple times, Tyson will knock him out right there with a nasty combo of body shots and/or that patented uppercut.


I think Paul's only chance is to spend the first 6 rounds running away, because he doesn't have the defense to stand in the center of the ring with Tyson. He's going to have to use his youth to stay away from Tyson until he gets tired and slows way down.

But if he tries to stand in the middle of the ring and fight the way he fought Tommy Fury, he's going to the hospital.


The only way I see Tyson losing this fight is if that ulcer is still an issue and Paul lands a gut shot that exacerbates it. Otherwise, the only way Tyson loses this fight before the 5th round is if the fix is in.

What time do we think this fight will actually start? I don't care about the other matches at all.

I agree with this 100%. A couple of my thoughts, this shouldn't even last more than 30 seconds - minute. Jake Paul isn't good. Tyson will notice tendencies (such as dropping the hand while throwing the jab, or looking away) and just take advantage of his inexperience. I think if it lasts more than a round, the fix is in, and Tyson at his age, will get tired after a few rounds and "lose".

I'm just glad I don't have to pay for this B.S. if it is rigged.

Fanduel says it starts at 9pm MST.

Yeah. The difference in skillsets is just massive. Like Grand Canyon separation. Paul is way out of his league. He shouldn’t be fighting at a pro level at all. If this were 45 yr old Tyson, Jake would probably end up in a coma.

You’re probably right, I’m sure I’m just getting caught up in nostalgia and hype. If we get a halfway decent fight, that’s probably the best we can hope for. I just hope they actually show a little intensity and this isn’t all just a spectacle as some are suggesting. Either way, I’m actually going to watch it, so they have succeeded in that regard, because I haven’t cared about boxing in years.

He stepped on his toe on purpose. The slap was an insult. Just trying to pysch each other out.

Like most here, I think if Tyson doesn't KO him by the 3rd round, his 59 year old body might betray his heart. I don't want him to go out getting KO'd by a content creator.

Do we think that with this being on Netflix the fight will happen at a more predictable schedule. I feel like cutting down on the ads they'll have a chance to stick way more to schedule with some of the undercards

This is what I saw from what little I've watched of his "fights" and training.
He's the type of straight up, flat footed "fighter" that Tyson made a career of knocking smooth TF out.

Paul looks like Tommy Morrison with even more aids

Who said the outcome is prearranged?
And I saw Rogan saying the exact same thing this morning, that the contract payout is on a sliding scale based on the number of rounds so if it's BS then maybe you should contact Rogan and tell him he's FOS.

if this is the top card I fear even knowing what the undercards are

We're all hoping Mike knocks the dude out, but I think anyone expecting that will be disappointed. I remember the Tyson vs Jones Jr fight from 4 years ago. It was boring as shit. I fully expect this fight tonight to be about the same.

This… I expect it to go the 8 rounds with both of them laying on each other out of gas at the end.. I think it will be disappointing…

Why? Even if it ends up being a charade, it's gonna be a hell of a lot of fun. Of course these aren't two of the best boxers current day but theyll have a lot of eyeballs.

The co main will probably be a "better" fight. It's the second time Taylor and Serrano are fighting for actual belts. Probably the two best female boxers alive right now.

The Problem Child is gonna humble that old man.

Yeah I remember that fight being a dud. It felt like they were both trying to get through it without getting hurt. Maybe I'm naive but I just feel like they're both motivated to try. Even if it means Tyson exposes Paul quickly because of his inexperience or Paul wallops Tyson immediately because tysons old that would still be a hell of a lot of fun to watch

Mike was losing to journey men 20 years ago alot of people seem to forget that

Paul however isn't even a journeyman level boxer.

Mike's head was a mess 20 years ago. It doesn't appear that it is a mess today.

And as a bonus, they are actually female!

Rewatch that fight at 3/4 speed. Watch Tyson's hips when he throws punches. He's playing tag. He's not trying to hurt Roy. In fact, I'd go as far as to say he carried Roy from pretty much the 1st rd. Imo, he could've dropped Roy at any time during that "fight."

Can't say that I know shit about boxing, but when I watched a few rounds of Paul vs Tommy Furry it sure looked like Jake Paul had a clue and could box. Based on that fight the best case scenario is Tyson survives. Worse case scenario it Paul knocking out a legend of the sport and then talking shit to Tysons people and acting like he's Canelo. Will be infuriating. Tyson must really need the money.

This would be so much better if it was bare knuckle fighting. These two are going to be wearing king size pillows on their hands.

I'll take Mike in a 5th round TKO.
Somewhere between the 3rd and 4th rounds. Tyson will open a cut above Paul's left eye. And by the 5th it will be stopped.
If this fight is more than a publicity stunt that is?

Watch it again. Paul is literally looking at the canvas when he throws his punches, which is why so many miss. Then compare that to Tommy Fury; he’s looking his punches in. Which is why Tommy is able to split Jake’s gloves repeatedly. And Tommy isn’t a great boxer. Better than average at best.


Paul’s a brawler at best, not a boxer. He belongs in those old Toughman contests.

Yeah why are people so hyped about this?

I loved watching Mike in the 90s. Most fun I’ve had watching boxing or UFC or anything related to fighting, but this is bleh

It's a publicity stunt

Its a sanctioned fight that will go on Tyson's pro record. I don't see him not taking it serious.

I hope Iron Mike bites this kid's ear off and spits out on the canvas.

Yall tuning in to The Hangover 4

So, FD lists the undercard with Taylor/Serrano starting at 8pm MST, then Tyson/Paul at 9pm MST. Of course, these fights never seem to start on time, but one would have to assume that the main event would start closer to 9pm than say midnight or whatever, no?

There's a 3 episode series on Netflix showing pre-fight interviews that's worth the watch. It looks like these guys are friendly IRL and both are taking this fight seriously.

Ah, ****. I always forget they do this shit. I was all fired up to flip this on at 7pm Central. Guys, when you put a 57 year old dude in the fight you gotta let him fight earlier. He needs to get to bed, and all his old fans who watched him when we were kids do, too.

Ya'll got any more dem links?

This is the most reeruned shit. I hate what our culture has become.

Yeah. Social media/internet has really been great for our humanity.

I laughed way way too hard at this.

So how is Paul -230 in Vegas if this is so one sided for Tyson?

Well, if it was a football game, I'd say the sharps have started betting big $$$ on Paul today, moving the odds back in his favor. But I have no idea if the sharps are betting this fight. Didn't check into it.




So I just checked Oddsshark, and just under 20% of the tickets are for Paul, but it represents nearly 30% of the $$$. Sharps are on Paul, moving the odds in his favor.

Because Tyson is 58 years old. 😆

I didn't realize there were women fighting on the undercard. Second fight soon.

We have to watch Rosie Perez while there are scantily attired hot women behind her in the ring,?

Did they just say 2 minute rounds? In a sanctioned fight? What the actual ****?

Why can't we have cheerleaders that look like that?

Why can't the Chiefs cheerleaders look like the Dallas cheerleaders. Is that just to much to ask?

ROFL

Great minds think alike.

Dude looks like Jorge Malone.

.. Rosie Perez is an ringside analyst??

Weird but maybe that makes sense

Dammit. Anyone else's broadcast pixelating?

Good rd for Goyat

Is this being filmed through a potato?

Sent from my SM-S916U1 using Tapatalk

Perez has been a boxing fan for decades, is knowledgeable about the sport, and has developed connections with managers and trainers.

no? My stream is crisp and clear.

So what time do you think Tyson will actually be in the ring? 9:30?

Goyat is just toying with Nunes

Mine isn't great either. Pixelating every few seconds

Yah. He looks quicker and more polished. Landing almost everything, meanwhile Nunes is barely connecting at all.

Hopefully

Well shit it's buffering :#

****. buffering?
