14 ounce gloves hahahahahaha
Could just give them pillows.
BIG ACHIEVEMENT BEATING A 59 YEAROLD MAN!!!-Pathetic
Exactly. Why on earth would Tyson take this fight? 14 oz gloves. 2 minute rounds.
Ridiculous. If Paul is serious about a career
in boxing he needs to stop this crap. It’s
embarrassing. He needs to go back to Disney. No state commission should sanction this garbage. Hoping for a Tyson win by knockout.
It’s a pure money grab from both and shouldn’t be seen as anything else
Hmmmmm, $20M+ might be a reason?
Please Tyson, knock this guy into next year.
It is a shame that this fight is even happening in the first place.
Bruh Mike is about to make $20M be happy for him.
If this fight is scripted and not a real contest then the fighters are committing a crime if (as this article says) this is sanctioned as an actual bout.
How could it be sanctioned as an actual bout when it’s 2 minute rounds? Novice amateurs fight 2 minute rounds
– I am soooooo excited for this bout.
– Not really……………..
Gotta be rigged, all of Jakes other fights have been. and mike is broke again.
Another black eye for boxing changing the rules and calling this a pro fight 2 min rds 14 ounce gloves and it goes on there record
Money is powerful when used in the wrong hands
I want to apologize to all the great legends rolling in there graves
Apologize to your English teacher first
Their.
Grow up
Grow up,
People write fast thank you for noticing
Bruh is just for show and money stop complaining and don’t watch it.
I keep seeing Holyfield getting knocked out by Vitor Belfort every time I picture how this plays out…..not good for Mike.
Good point. However, I am sure the signed contracts already have it planned out who is actually the winner. Tyson collects a check, and Paul moves forward in his circus boxing show.
Just remember ODLH dodged a bullet when he got injured and Evander stepped in at late notice.
Canyellow want the winner as his next opponent on Cinco de Mayo!!
He says Tyson and Paul have “earned” the right to fight him as they’re both weak, old and broken…I mean strong, young and experienced.
Alvarez is probably waiting for Tyson to hit 60!!
Jake will stay on the outside and pitty-pat for the first 1:50, then come in for a quick exchange at the very end of the round. Rinse and repeat. That’s the only effective plan if this event is not scripted. However, if Jake commits to exchanging, especially early on, no amount of weight gain and juice can prepare you for a natural heavyweight with knockout power in either hand and in every type of shot, traditional or hybrid.
As Jake runs off the ropes, he gets caught by a wide right to the chin around round 4 to the surprise of many. If he makes it up, we will them see if this is scripted or not.
He is only a favorite because Vegas thinks the fix is in. ANYONE that watches Paul work out knows he would lose in a real fight.
This is basically a WWE storyline. Jake Paul is an outsider/ controversial figure in the boxing world who is criticized for cutting in front of the line with his major publicity and criticized by fan and boxers alike for beating soft competition. Tyson at 59 is the great avenger who is going to right the wrong by serving justice for all real boxers by knocking Jake Paul out, ending this circus and brining legitimacy back to boxing again. Folks its entertainment. Its as if Vince McMahon himself wrote this Jake Paul / Tyson storyline. 14 oz boxing gloves is another clue this is staged. Jake Paul get a bigger name and target on his back if he “wins” to continue his campaign. Tyson doesn’t need the “win”, gets a check and 59 there is a built in excuses so this doesn’t hurt his legacy. Despite this, we’re all going to watch.
I can’t see Tyson losing to this guy, I dont think Roy Jones Jr loses to Jake Paul either. Tommy Fury beat this guy to boot. Tyson by TKO 8
I’ll believe this fight will take place when they both answer the bell for round ! Ever since this fight was first announced, I doubted it would actually happen. I was not surprised at all after the first cancellation, but was surprised it was rescheduled. I’ve said this before-if they do actually meet in the ring, it’s going to be stopped for some freak mishap. One of the fighters, most likely Tyson, will injure himself and not be able to continue. I can’t imagine these guys just meeting in the center of the ring and going blow for blow. If that does end up happening, I have to go with Jake Paul. I dont believe Jake Paul deserves to even say Mike Tyson’s name unless it’s out of pure respect, but youth prevails in this one.
If Tyson can’t overwhelm Paul early and take him out, Paul will win. Count me among those who don’t want to see 58 year old Mike Tyson knocked senseless, crashing face first to the canvas for the count. I have to admit though. I wouldn’t mind seeing Paul end up that way though.
I’m also rooting for Katie Taylor, my favorite fighter.
I wonder how many of you Jackasses would turn down 50-100 million dollars to take a boxing match? We will never know because nobody would even pay $20 to watch you Jackasses fight. I know you would take the money but nobody would give you the money, Jackasses.
How do you pronounce your name? Can you spell it out phonetically? It sounds like it would be ow-re-um. Is that correct? Just curious. You kinda sound like a real Jackass
