Seems like two extremely motived & well trained fighters.

One is 1/2 the age of the other. However, the older fighter is perhaps the most dominant boxer of all time.

I see Iron Mike as the winner. However, The Problem Child has series ballz!

WINNER: Tyson in KO
 
I don't see it. Tyson is almost 60. As a man who is a little older than Tyson is, I am afraid Mike is in trouble. He still looks strong, but his reflexes won't be anything close to what they where 30 years ago. I am 30+ years older than my son......and am a little bigger than him, but at my age he would destroy me.

Would love to see Tyson pound him, but Mike should never have gotten back in the ring.

Paul knows how to pick his opponents.

I gotta side with Shift here. I get he’s Mike Tyson and still in unbelievable shape but he’s pushing 60. Paul doesn’t get the credit he deserves either. But most importantly what shift said, Paul knows what he’s getting each time he picks his opponent. Paul picked this for a reason

Comparing yourself and your kid to Tyson and Paul is the most naricssistic thing Ive read in a minute.

I expect Paul to win for the same reasons you do, he only picks people he can beat.

However, he might be missing an ear when they announce the decision in his favor.

He's gonna look like he fought Tyson, on my momma.

1) Paul isn’t really a professional boxer. He’s a YouTuber who takes publicity bouts. That said, he’s improved a ton over the last few years. But Tyson has nearly 60 fights in his career.
2) Tyson worked his ass off. He hit it hard the last 4-6 months and looks ready physically.
3) Tyson’s power is still ridiculous. He put a sparring partner with a chest pad on through the ropes with a left to the body. He’s torn pads. He may not be as quick or as young but if he catches Paul it’s night night time.

Tyson never really had the strongest chin because he didn’t need to.

I think it’ll be an interesting fight but I’m having a hard time taking a YouTube star who’s never fought anyone over one of the legends of boxing who looks motivated AF to not lose. It’s either an early KO for Tyson or a decision for him. I think even at 60 he’s just better at boxing.

Not sure if Paul has a decent chin or not but age is hell on athletes no matter if they still look in good shape or not. Kevin McBride was just a good journeyman level fighter and beat Tyson twenty years ago when Tyson was 38. I think Tyson either lands an early knockout or he will probably lose.

And we all thought George Foreman was an idiot for making a comeback at age 45.

Tyson was also not training very hard and fighting addiction at the end of his career.

But old is old, I just don't think Paul is a legit fighter. I think it's going to be a very short night for Paul. He's never been hit as hard as Tyson's going to hit him Friday night.

Excellent points all…

It will be interesting to see how it plays out!

Tyson looks pretty fit & Paul has greatly improved.

I see Tyson winning in a 3 or 4 round KO.
 
After looking at Jake Paul's fights again I think there is a pretty good chance Tyson might catch him pretty good. He leaves himself wide open many times trying to land that right hand. We will see if Jake Paul has a decent chin or not if that happens.

If Tyson is quick enough these days to take advantage.

That is the question for me. I will be surprised if he is.

Hope I am wrong though.

I really haven't followed boxing in 20 years, so I have no predictions. But time is a cruel mistress, gonna be tough for Mike.

Paul will win because I believe it's a staged fight. Both will make millions for this

I can't imagine this event is worth that much to NetFlix. Maybe I'm wrong. Tyson even said this fight isn't going to change much for him financially, and he's worth about $10MM.

And I don't know what you mean by "staged"...it's a celebrity fight. Of course it's "staged".

Now if you mean "fixed"...I doubt that. They're going to really fight each other IMO.

Poor bastard got scammed by Don King and the rest of those idiots he replaced with when he fired Bill Cayton, his manager, and trainer Kevin Rooney for a bunch of hoodlums who were mainly rap music promoters. After he got his ass kicked by Buster Douglas, he fired all those goons and brought in Rich Giachetti, who was the reason for Larry Holmes's success in the early 80's.

20 Tyson & 40 Paul. And staged as in the winner is predetermined

www.cbsnews.com

How much will Mike Tyson and Jake Paul be paid for their fight, and what prize money will the winner earn?

Mike Tyson, a boxing legend, and Jake Paul, a social media legend, are ready to throw down. Financially, they'll both come out winners.

I meant Paul looks considerably bigger than himself in his last fight. He looks like he’s put on weight and muscle compared to his previous fighting shape.
 
This is nothing but a Fuching clown show with Cedric the entertainer, Rosie Perez and some hip hop artist who looks like an anorexic Beyonce as analysts.
