Really?

IMHO this is all about the Benjamins and not the sport.

OOPS wrong title

Duh

x10

No way.

On the one hand, I'd love to see Mike Tyson beat Jake Paul over several rounds.

On the other hand, it'll probably be over in 2 minutes and both get paid handsomely.

ahhhhh, back in the day, the true heavy weights duking it out like Battleships firing all 'rounds full abreast with the big guns.

Ali
Fraiser
Holmes

even Sugar Ray was lightning fast.

Rusty said it...

Ernie Shavers
Ken Norton
George Foreman
Evander Holyfield

A lot of tough dudes back in the day .

So, who's gonna watch? :D

Might..for laughs...when it's free on youtube. Pay to view? No.

I'll watch because it's free. What time is the bout?

The main card is Friday 8pm EST. Free on Netflix. I'd like to see it, but I won't be home at 5pm local time. Hopefully, Netflix will replay it.

I imagine the fight will go the distance. Have to keep this gravy train going. It’s such an insult to boxers. I wish Paul would either go away or fight a current contender from his weight class.

gads, this was the FOURTEENTH round..........

and the guns still fly.

I want vintage Iron Mike to KHTFO in the first 45 seconds.

I’ll be watching for sure. I know I’m in the minority but I think they’ll both go hard for their own reasons, and the big youthful “puncher” versus the legendary heavyweight boxer could go either way. I’m exactly Tyson’s age and I know how far off my stamina is from my 20s, but my power isn’t as far off. Everyone says Tyson needs to get him in the first two rounds to win- I’d disagree. He needs to bob and weave with his trademark peakaboo style and conservatively outbox the younger man, with an occasional combination but no balls to the wall. Who knows what sort of chin an almost 60 year old man has? But remember how hard he was to square up and land a solid punch on. If he slips most punches and never gives in to the red mist, I’d say he is even likely to win. Or he could get beat up badly, which is why it’s intriguing. If it’s not fixed, of course.

Tyson couldn’t Bob and weave during his last few fights. He might for 10 seconds here or there to get the crowd fired up but that’s it. He’s a straight up fighter now who is not a boxer in that form like a Larry Holmes. I think if Tyson was a little younger and off his happy pills, he would kill Paul.

Tyson is 58... That's way too old to be fighting in a ring IMO.

+1

I'm not that interested, so I won't be watching. But I remember from the hayday of Mike T. Folks would pay for big bucks for PPV and then be pissed off when it was over super quick.
