    • Arturo-I do. I think it will somehow end up a draw after being stopped because of a some kind of injury or mishap, like Tysons ulcers will flare up or Jake Paul will slip and fall out of the ring in an in between round skirmish with a YouTube rival. Something ridiculous.

    • Yep, I am sure the signed contracts for this fight will NOT be disclosed. Both these guys will be laughing all the way to the bank when it’s over. Only suckers in this case are those buying tickets. Tommy Fury put a clinic on and proved Jake Paul’s mouth sells more tickets than his boxing talent. I bet if VADA tested Tyson right now, he’s got cannabis floating in his bloodstream. Yet, the fight goes on…

      • “I bet if VADA tested Tyson right now, he’s got cannabis floating in his bloodstream.”
        – Iron Mike owns his own cannabis brand called Tyson 2.0.
        – He has credited his use of weed to help calm him down.
        – I believe that THC is no longer tested for in certain organizations, but I can’t remember which ones.
        – One day soon, the Feds are going to wise up and either de-criminalize or re-schedule Cannabis.
        – Schedule 1, my a$$………………….

        • I agree, the time is coming cannabis will be totally legal across the board in all facets. Due to my job, it’s a big no-no due to my board medical license. In fact, if I even get a simple DUI from alcohol, I have to report the offense to my state’s medical board for review of substance abuse. I don’t agree with it, but not much I can do.

          • “Due to my job, it’s a big no-no…..”
            – I purposely do not work for an activity (like the US Federal Government) where my personal actions can have a direct impact on my employment.
            – My private life is private, and kept separate and independent of work life.
            – Take care.
            – Gary G.

          • Sorry Scooby, but I would much rather know someone in the medical field was not knowingly abusing drugs and/or alcohol. Much in the way, a cop was not or a judge, district attorney, so on. To me certain jobs should have no tolerance for substance abuse because of the responsibility they have to a community or the health of someone.

        • Legalizing weed is got to be one of the most idiotic things to do. Look at Colorado, California, Oregon, Washington, I’m sure a few others. Put politics aside this drug leads to all sorts of nonsense. Besides, very few buy weed from a store, why? You pay taxes to the government, that’s why. Little Johnny’s weed has no taxes. The weed of today carries much more THC and is much more potent than years ago. Legalizing is doing the devil’s work.

    • You would think so but the sports books are putting up a line on it. Paul has put in work to develop some boxing skills and that should be enough to beat a shot Tyson. Paul a pretty big favorite at the books who will likely have a big win on this event from those betting Tyson as though he was in his prime.

  • On a side note-I’m sure some of you saw the footage of Jake Paul knocking down his big sparring partner. The guys name was Deandre Savage, ever heard of him? Me neither. He’s 6-0, all ko’s against extremely limited opposition. Mostly guys with losing records and under 10 fights. Some winless. Somehow, the guy is ranked #15 in the world by the WBA! They have absolutely no credibility! None!!! 15 is a very high ranking. There are easily 150 heavyweights out there far more deserving of a higher ranking than him. Who the hell does he know? Is it because of his affiliation with Jake Paul he’s ranked so high? I have no idea where Jake Paul is ranked, but if we’re being generous, he should be no higher than #50 at Cruiserweight.

    • I agree, it’s a shame many fighters put the time into training their butts off to truly make a living and achieving their goals. Yet, they never get that notoriety or a decent chance to make it to the top. Jake Paul gets to cut in front of the line due to his famous YouTube stunts and schmoozes up to the right circus clowns to put on a show.

  • Should be an easy night for jake paul. His mobility and power are tremendous. Either first or second round ko.

  • 14 oz gloves, 2 minute rounds…there is no was Netflix would allow either guy to be badly hurt on their live steam. I think Jake will carry Mike, and it will be nothing more than a sparring session. Paul will look fast and sharp compared to a 58 year old Tyson, but Tyson will go the rounds. It will be a win-win for everyone. Alternatively, Tyson gets injured and that ends the fight.

  • If they will be going at it for real and Mike is in shape to blast out for 6 rounds, I’m picking Mike early round 3. Jake has too much weight on him for fighting in the ring at a pro level. He looks good for everyday life, but the ring is a different story. Those ropes will humble your ass when you’re avoiding someone who is at their natural weight, with decent speed and thunder in his fists. That fuel tank depletes quickly wether you like it or not. Again, if they are going at it for real-real. Either way, I will be watching.

    It’s crazy that Tyson is going back in the ring at 58. He began at the pro level FORTY years ago. Mr. Peter was 10 years old and delivering pizzas on foot to save up for a Hutch Trickstar during the summer. That’s a loooong time ago.

  • Tyson is good for 3 2-minute rds. Jake may have been instructed to carry Tyson after they complete certain amount of rounds. I believe Jakes’ team know it would be career suicide to KO a 58 year old Tyson.

    • Tyson is 58 years old. Have you really watched his training videos. His movements are slow and he is hitting the bag with the force of a wet fart. If Tyson survives the first minute, it is scripted. It should go the same as Holyfield’s last fight, which was against a guy that wasn’t as good of boxer as Paul. Tyson was useless 20 years ago. 20 years shot!

  • I’m not mad at the hustle/heist Jake Paul and Tyson are about to pull. Tyson was worked with the WWF twice. He was suppose to referee Hulk Hogan vs Macho Man but he got lost to James Buster Douglas so they gave the gig to Buster Douglas. Second time, he worked an angle with Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steven Austin. Point is, some folks are counting on Tyson the boxer to show up but forget he’s also a showman and you’ll be disappointed. The Jake Paul vs Tyson “fight” is for entertainment.

  • Pathetic times we live in. I think this fiasco is being marketed as a real fight, but it’s privately contracted as an exhibition. The preparation and training is all designed to hype the match. Tyson goes through hitting the pads, in a very familiar sequences that we’ve seen time and time again. There are 1-2 second clips of Tyson slamming the pads, advancing, weaving, and ducking. He’s aiming to get inside and do some damage against the taller opponent. Tyson looks thick, in decent shape. He’s working up a sweat, working heavy on the weights. He looks serious, deep in concentration, working hard. Paul looks his usual pathetic, ugly self. He wears the ugliest beard ever seen, with ugly tattoos to match. He’s got that ugly hairstyle, and is pure cringe every time he opens his mouth. He’s easy to hate. He’s not a real fighter, but a side show, beating overmatched opponents in spectacular fashion to appease the grunts and morons of the world.

    Mike Tyson is 58 years old. He hasn’t knocked out anyone in 21 years. He is a shell of a shell of his former self, with a host of undisclosed health issues. I haven’t seen him do any roadwork. Except for the bursts of speed as he attacks those pads, he moves slowly. He’s very slow and plodding, as if his legs are made of lead. Endurance is obviously a factor. A 58 year Tyson can’t take a punch like he used to. Pads don’t hit back. Easy to look ferocious attacking the pads in spurts when you don’t have to worry about what’s coming back.

    If this were a real fight, I see Tyson trying to overwhelm Paul initially, but running out of gas if his punches don’t have the desired effect. If Tyson finds out that his punches don’t have the desired effect, he’s in serious trouble. He’s going to get hit and hit often, and if he crashes to the canvas, he will look every bit of those 58 years. Either Tyson’s power will effectively neutralize and hurt Paul early, or it’s over.

    I don’t think this is a real fight however. I see no fear and desperation in Tyson’s demeanor when he and Paul are facing off. Fear always made Tyson extremely dangerous. I see no real concern from Paul either. These two will put on some kind of show, and do their best to make it look competitive. Maybe there will be a knockdown of Paul, but in the end, I expect a draw or a win for Paul, with both fighters laughing all the way to the bank.

  • Hopefully Tyson can get back some of that ol’ magic and knocks Jake Paul into next week!
