+ 3 Tyson vs Paul

ad

So in regards to the big debate on the upcoming Paul vs Tyson fight (assuming it happens). I decided to check the betting odds. It seems as the majority of the community are of the belief that Jake Paul is a joke, and that a 57 year old Mike Tyson is going to completely annihilate him without a shadow of a doubt. I love to see people make money, so here you are. Easy money grab for everyone as it seems y’all got the inside scoop that Mike’s victory is a forgone conclusion….thank me later boys!!!

Don't know what to make of this shit. I'll stream it for free, but I'll be damned if I pay for a Jake Paul fight. Man needs to start fighting active boxers and maybe, just maybe he will earn some respect. Truth be told, I think he will ride this wave as long as possible, gaining valuable experience as long as possible in hopes that he does make it to a higher stage and level... Money has bought him a free pass, jump the line instead of fighting up through amateur ranks and proving his skillsets against actual boxers. Just my 2 cents.

That makes it even that more sus. No PPV, hard to take it for real. It's just also hard to believe based on Tysons beliefs and ego, that he would step into a ring with a guy like Jake and not be in it to try to knock his head off. I suppose money can make anyone do just about anything. And... age is most certainly such a huge factor that many overlook. Even if Tyson is in better shape than most of his age, has tremendous experience, the brain is much more fragile, fatigue and stamina and recovery are also all diminishing.. To what degree? Who knows.

They're boxing with gear and bigger gloves... It's kind of a joke

Wow, so god only knows how much they’re getting paid. Good for them

DeeMan's picture

That's facts....meanwhile other more talented boxers are working 2 jobs trying to make a living and also trying to get that one big pay day! It's a damn shame!
But like you said..Free pass! But what really gets me is Jake Paul really thinks he's a top level professional boxer.

JakeKO's picture

I think he’s a shit boxer. Put him up against a pro or even a good amateur in the same weight class and he will lose

FrankTheTank12's picture

100% I think he's an athlete for sure. Both Paul brother's are athletes and that's very clear. But it's insane and disrespectful to even discuss his name amongst boxers that have fought since childhood through amateur ranks and then the very few who go on to have top level pro experience.

DeeMan's picture

@JakeKO No shit. He lost to Fury's little brother and Fury's brother isn't even close to being a top ranked boxer. Paul is a good beginner at best.

@DeeMan

I think the kid is a marketing genius, and he is making a lot of has beens a lot of money with these ridiculous fights. Now he’s pulled off his biggest achievement to date. Everyone will be watching this fight that night. It will be like the superbowl with Taylor Swift as the halftime show. Just look how we’re all talking about this now, and we’re months away from the actual fight. This will be one of the biggest pay-per-view events ever. A lot of money being made that night, in a thousand different ways. At the end of the day, Jake Paul will be wealthier than ever. Good for him though. I can’t hate a guy for being smart, and it’s almost nice to see someone beat the corrupt powers that be.

DeeMan's picture

@JakeKO Yea but I'm pissed at Tyson for even allowing this dude to fight him. Alot of the pro boxers are mad as hell as well. Thing is both guys are good friends. Just hard to believe they'll be serious in that fight. Just a sparring session that's all. Hell maybe even scripted.

JakeKO's picture

@DeeMan

I agree, but it’s all about the money to all these guys. None of them ever made any real money during their successful careers, especially Tyson because Don King and everyone else completely ripped him off. He was a great fighter, but a dumb businessman. That’s what Rocky 5 was about. Tommy Gun was actually portraying Tyson and what happened to him. Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva both admitted to being underpaid by the UFC, so I can’t blame them for jumping all over Jake Paul’s offer. It’s like, fighting was their life, so how can they make any money these days? Landscpaing, perhaps, LOL. Now I’m sure that Tyson has cut a much better profit split with Jake Paul on this fight, because it’s his name that is really going to pull numbers on the pay per view earnings, not to mention all the merchandising and advertising profits that will be just as profitable as the pay per view payout. It’s down right genius. Although, when it’s all said and done, I truly believe that Mike has way too much pride to take a dive for this kid, even if he previously agreed to. The psycho in him will unleash, and it’s going to be very painful for Jake. Everyone is talking about Mike gassing out, although I think Jake will be completely hurt and punch drunk by the third round. I’m really looking forward to seeing how this pans out. Like I said, I really hope Jake doesn’t suffer any permanent injuries.

DeeMan's picture

You being familiar with business, you already know what it's about.

DeeMan's picture

Well you do have a point about it not being scripted because Mike WILL and can break the script whenever he feels like it and that's exactly what he'll do if it is a set up fight. The guy is still capable of snapping no doubt. Thing is at this moment Tyson doesn't need the money because he's doing better financially now than ever, besides when he was Champ. The guy is in a happy place personally, financially, socially and he has no business entertaining this WANNABE boxer lol! Yes a WANNABE. Now Jake has beaten a few old guys and he has good beginner skills however....there's LEVELS to this!
Not sure if the fight will even happen for some reason.

JakeKO's picture

I hate that this kid has my fucking name, LOL

DeeMan's picture

Lmao....ruining your rep LOL

DeeMan's picture

@NWApatches @ chad P ok Jake Paul does have some skills no doubt. He's beaten some guys that I thought he couldn't beat but honestly that's as far as it's going to go seriously. Alot of guys hate Jake and don't give him credit but I'll give him whatever credit he deserves but that credit will never be that he's an elite level boxer like many think. That would be so disrespectful to the top pro boxers now, Hall of Fame boxers, Legends and most importantly the sport of boxing itself.

Pumped_'s picture

Everyone has a plan till they punched in the face!

JakeKO's picture

I don’t know about anyone else, but Tyson just seems like a very dangerous guy to me. He’s the type of fighter that could kill you by mistake.because he snapped

Pumped_'s picture

Yeah its definitely not going to be a friendly match and Tyson definitely isnt going to stick to the script if there is one anyway.

JakeKO's picture

My thoughts exactly. Mike is going to take a hard blow that will enrage him, and then it’s all over for Jake. All bets will be off at that point and it’s going to be a site to see. Anyone that grew up watching Tyson, and really paid attention to his behavioral patterns will understand where I’m coming from. He’s never going to be able to calm himself down if he feels Jake hit him harder than they agreed to. He fucking bit Holyfield’s ear off. There was nothing fake about that level of psycho. He was losing, and resorted to biting him. The guy is a complete lunatic. He just smokes a lot of weed now to try and stay calm.

DeeMan's picture

He's got serious issues point blank lol. He claims he's a changed man but that animal is still inside him regardless how old he is.
Can't fool me.

Pumped_'s picture

He is a born warrior. 15 years old he won gold in junior olympics against a heavyweight in just 8 seconds.. He is nothing else but a fighter. Guys like that cant be paid off, he is fighting because that's sll he knows. Yes he needs money but he is showing up for different reasons than the YouTuber.

We appreciate this post though man.

Agreed

DeeMan's picture

Lol I see that you keep emphasizing age which is important but it's clear that Tyson isn't the typical 57 year old. Is he the same as he was years ago?...NO he isn't. But his hands are faster and he has the ability to KO Jake Paul and that's a fact thats being overlooked for whatever reason. Jake Paul is a good beginner fighter, he's NOT A PRO lol. He wasn't good enough to beat Tommy Fury who isn't close to being a top boxer and he barely beat an old Anderson Silva and those were his toughest opponents. The only chance Jake could have is to tire Mike out and take him into the deep waters. It has nothing to do with Mike not being able to handle Jake's power. Gotta look at facts and nothing else.

Aren't they using head gear and bigger gloves?

Those were all rumors and squashed. No headgear their trainers said and no on 18oz gloves is last i heard.

There isn't anything you could wrap Tysons fists in that would make me consider letting him punch me in the face.

It should be in bare knuckle. Tyson would have a huge advantage.

Kinda fuk Jake Paul. Looking for easy fights against old men. If this wasn't Mike, and it was not in a ring, Felony elder abuse just for threatning to fight. Mike's age is close.

Chad P's picture

Hell yea bro, make sure to post that betting slip--

Chad P's picture

Just for some context, Tysons last professional fight was June 11 2005, he was 38 years, 346 days old. He retired in the 6th round. His fight was against a journeymen named Kevin McBride who has 0 wins on his resume against anyone with a Wikipedia page, besides one person….that person is Mike Tyson. The killer you all think Tyson is now, was already gone when he was still fighting, almost 20 years ago….

DeeMan's picture

Just for content. You have to be fair.....Jake Paul's toughest opponents have been Tommy Fury and an old Anderson' Silva. Jake barely beat an old Silva and lost to Fury who isn't even a top ranked boxer. Not sure if he's even a professional boxer....well he's an English pro boxer. Bottom line is Jake isn't anywhere near to being a top ranked pro boxer and even Floyd Mayweather has stated that. It's simply a fantasy from Jake Paul fans. And yes he does have good beginner skills, just not elite skills. As far as Tyson, he's not the same Tyson due to age but those characteristics are still there to some extent and that's obvious. Video of training and the testimony of Roy Jones is all the proof that's needed. So to reduce Tyson to being a weak 57 year old is foolish.

Pumped_'s picture

You Tyson was 200lbs at age 13 when he started training? Thats crazy!

pingree24's picture

Mcbride was also 6'6 250 lb, that comment shows me you didn't watch boxing back then at all. Mcbride fought

Marius wach- dude was decent and huge

Tomasz adamak- one of the best lhw/ cruiserweight of that generation and a pretty good hw

Andrew Golota- a guy that never reached his potential that was beating Riddick bowe in both there fights until he disqualified himself with low blows

Davarryl Williamson- a heavy pincher that had some bangers in the late 90'to mid 2000's always a dangerous puncher

Axel Schultz- one of the guys in the 90's that fought just about everyone, possibly could have been a belt holder in a different decade.

Tyson was sick of fighting g by the time he fought Kevin and got with that Australian coach and changed his entire style in that fight. He was in it for just money as far back before the Lewis fight when he did his u.k fights.

After Lewis he had nothing left not physically but mentally. He knew the writing was on the wall and stepped away at the right time.

To think he isn't in a much better place mentally than in 2005 you've gotta be crazy. If this is fun again he will at least look good until he doesn't and there truly is a chance he might get a stoppage win.

If not, bro he is 58 and good on him for getting in there and Givig it a go. Could he beat fury or usyk? Fuck no.. but he sure can give Jake Paul some hell

I absolutely did watch boxing and did watch the fight. I also watched Mike get ko’d the fight prior. The fact remains he quit against against a can crusher 20 years ago. Y’all all act like he somehow has tapped into the fighter he was in his early 20’s. He looked good against a retired Roy Jones who was a shell of himself 10 years prior to this fight. Like I said, we can revisit this after the fight and see who was right and who was wrong.

DeeMan's picture

Again for you to say he'll be tired after the first round says alot. That's all we need to know lol. And you seem to ignore Jake Paul opponents lol. He's not a ranked top boxer...Yea we'll revisit...Muhammad Ali in the making huh? Lol
