He's still a bad man. Jake better be careful. I always respected Tyson as a fighter. At times, I thought he was just another thug. He has had troubles. But I have heard him speak some lately and he has come across very thankful and humble. A side of him I never knew existed.
Hes got a punchers chance, has always been a mauler,, if his wind holds up for 5 rounds he will be dangerous, after 5 he will get the water sniped out him,,
If Paul can withstand the initial flurry and make it out of round 2 he will win. Tyson in his prime vs Paul in his prime over in 90 seconds. As good as he looks for a 57 year old, Tyson is way, way past his prime.
How many rounds? How many minutes per round? When Tyson fought Jones it was something like 6 rounds. And they were short. 2 minutes I think.
Last I heard they couldn’t even get this sanctioned. It’s pure exhibition for money. It’ll hopefully be entertaining, but it is simply that.
Tyson is retired and nearly 60. Paul still hasn’t fought a legitimate top boxer. Just a handful of aged mma guys, a basketball player, and two guys from the rankings cellar.
Anyway, I hope Uncle Mike sleeps him in the first minute.
Power is the last thing to go with age. Tyson is going to be forced to wear sparring gloves and Jake will have headgear on. These new rules favor Jake. Heck, Jake is allowed fighting gloves even. What a joke. Hopefully Tyson will crack his ribs in the first couple rounds otherwise this is slanted against him.
Like I said, if they do, I am not watching. If not I will.
My prediction:
I will have a whisky and ginger ale buzz going before the match starts haha
I also predict that Paul will be as nervous as a virgin on her wedding night, and he will do the smart thing and dance around to stay out of reach until he figures out a game plan.
The fight goes 5 Rounds unless he is scared chitless. If he is scared chitless like the majority of Tyson's professional fights, then it won't last long.
Having watched all of Tyson's fights, I can say that the vast majority of fighters he fought crapped their shorts when they entered the ring, Leon Spinks was a prime example!
