That was a brutal knockout, very similar to what Ngannou did to Stipe a few years back. I feel bad for Ngannou, but he should just enjoy his money and do something else. He seems like an intelligent man, and I wish him the best. I still want to see Jones vs Ngannou, though.

I feel bad for boxing fans. Their sport is being reduced to shite like this with fixed influencer fights.

Fury didn't take the fight seriously because it wouldn't impact his official record. He also thought Ngannou would be a soft touch. Fury got the win, but looked shit and made a right pigs ear of it.
Joshua took the fight seriously and destroyed Ngannou in two rounds. Complete destruction, which is what happens when a boxer goes up against somebody with little to no boxing experience.

Why does anyone get invested in these fights?
The pressure of a professional boxers punch to a normal YouTuber like KSI or the Paul’s would just simply knock them out cold. There’s no 2 ways about it. And even though Tyson is well past his prime, and old, his physique is still geared towards that.
If Tyson actually wanted to, this would be over in 1 punch.
Instead it’ll be a light spar with some ‘controversy’ and they’ll both walk away with $50m.

Isn’t he a millionaire thanks to his cannabis business?
On the subject - I wouldn’t rule out Tyson, Paul seems like an ok fighter but is he special? I will use the example of marathon runners by age:
The current WR for M60 is 02:30:02, for M70 2:54:19, still sub 3 hours. If some of you run competitively you know that to get sub 3 hours you need to go at insane pace, close to 04:00/km. Very few people in their prime are able to achieve these times.

Fury gameplan against francis was moronic, he thought he could clinch and muscle around a beast like ngannou like he did with the far smaller wilder.
Also, fury has no power for a heavyweight and ngannou has granite chin, the dude was just not scared at all.
If he fight like textbook without moronic plans he smoke francis 10 times out of 10.

Those long posts don't cover that red neck boy
A Tyson at 57 is still a scary boxer. I wish Jake gets a good beating out of Iron Mike.

Maybe Mike's had his eye on this payday for a while.

Oh definitely he honestly admitted it once he heard about the payment. That was the big reason.

Mike Tyson was 57 years old when he stepped into the ring!
No matter how this plays out, I wish they'd make a Coming to America 3 just to have the mighty sharp guys talk about it.

Oh how glorious it would be if Mike Tyson could dig out an upper cut with the power of a thousand damned souls from the deepest darkest depths of Hades and take this feckers block off through the roof of the arena and into low earth orbit.
For me it would be like fucking Scarlett Johansson in a victoria secret spring catalogue.

Listen pal you can't make orbit from a single impulse on the Earth's surface. Tyson's gonna have to get up out of the atmosphere to punch his head again in order to circularize an orbit.

At 57 Tyson looks like an animal.
I’m not familiar with Jake Paul, but I can see him getting killed.

"Coward" is definitely a fitting moniker.
Seen a YouTube short of him already strutting and crowing.
At least Tate had a more sober and respectful opinion on a hypothetical confrontation.

Mike will be 58 when they happens. He isn’t going to beat Jake Paul, as satisfying as that would be to see. If the fight is genuine I suspect Paul knocks him out in less than 4, if it’s fixed then it could go the distance and Paul will get the decision and Tyson will big him up and give him props. Either way Mike makes a bag and loses zero credibility.
It’s a rediculous fight and Paul should be ashamed. Foreman fought until he was 48 and even that was way too late. Mike has a full decade on Foreman’s second retirement. Tyson is a physical specimen but all the TRT in the world can’t give him back the tools he’s needs for anything other than exhibition fighting.

would have been fun if Mike was 10 or maybe 20 years younger.
Paul will go about parading his win like the coward John Ford reenacted his killing of Jesse James on stage after the deed was done.
I guess tate has knowledge of competing at high levels of fighting, that might be the only thing he knows, apart from gaslighting techniques that works on lost men and women. He knows what it takes to be Iron Mike and he knows no one else on Earth has what it takes apart from Mike.
starts at 2:02 if the time stamp doesn't work

Back in the day I had a Playboy magazine with a Mike Tyson interview. He said the best punch he ever threw was against his ex-wife Robin Givens. He said she bounced off every wall in the room, which is a pretty funny visual.

Hope Tyson knocks his fucking block off then bites off both his ears.

If this is "real" (which it probably isn't), then Mike's chance lies in the first few rounds. He's still got speed, power; explosiveness and experience; and he'll have to turn the humanity switch off, bring out the dead, shark eyes and then spend a month recovering.
"Old man strength" has as much to do with the nervous system being conditioned to transmit electrical signals efficiently through vast amounts of repetition as it does the building of mass. Power is the last thing to go. But competing on endurance at that age would be near-enough impossible.
Again, if it's real (lol), then he plays it defensive til he gets an opportunity relatively early on and then goes for it. Otherwise I see a point win for Paul.

This is ridiculous. If this is not staged, Jake Paul would destroy him, except he somehow would manage to put him down in the beginning. Tyson is 57. What a disgrace.

If Mike doesn't gas and can protect himself, Jake doesn't stand a chance IMO. Jake was gassed and hopeless against Tommy Fury and that was what, the only current/competitive boxer he's ever faced?
GymWolf

Fury is not 57 year and can weaponize pace.

I know. That's why I said if Mike doesn't gas.
Jake just look outmatched against Tommy and I suspect he'll look outmatched against a 57 year old Tyson. Tyson can definitely lose but I don't think it's gonna be one-sided in favor of Jake.

I hope so.

Are some of you being serious with stuff like 'Jake Paul woulfd destroy him and its fixed if he doesnt'?.
I mean i do think Paul might win, but only because he's going to run most of the fight, flicking out the odd jab, while Tyson gets tired as the fight goes on.
Make no mistake though, if Paul tries to go toe to toe with Tyson then he'sgong to get knocked out.
I mean Tyson went easy on Roy Jones, but even Jones (a proper boxer and champion) was totally gassed by the end of thre fight, and talked about how much pain he was in from Tysons punches.
Tyson is 57 not 77.
