texas comission

Absolutely nuts sanctioning a 58 year old man to fight another professional who is over 30 years younger.

I know Jake Paul shyte, but he is now a professional fighter who, whilst nothing to write home about, he is becoming versed in boxing and just happens to be in the prime of his life.

I can see the validity of a choreographed exhibition, but not a licensed pro fight.

[margaret thatcher]

ya it's shit1. another belfort-holyfield sh!tshow. hopefully paul is more merciful then vitor was. well, then again mike hasnt been the nicest dude., maybe some ppl want him to get his arse kicked

They can call it a pro fight, but everything screams exhibition. My guess is that they'll spar a good number of rounds behind closed doors before the fight just to see how hard Paul can go with the old man, then they'll "fight" to an 8 round draw.

Any ko here is a win for me, but I smell a draw.

If this were a ppv, it would pull in 3 million or more buys !

The entire spectacle was ridiculous from the beginning. But now, it’s gone to the next level with a fight being sanctioned with 8 rounds at 2 minutes. I mean go ahead and put on an exhibition, but it’s not professional boxing at two minutes a round. So how the hell can a commission simply change the sport?

[Perseus]

Wasn't expecting this to get sanctioned.
I wonder how much money Netflix threw at the commission to get this "fight" sanctioned?

that’s probably a big factor. Does that mean the sanctioning group in that state is going to green light pro fights at two minutes a round? Maybe just for 55 and older fighters.

You gotta think this is gonna be a one off thing. I don't expect this to become the new norm because I don't look for many 55 plus year old fighters to be looking to climb into the ring against anyone.

...and have Netflix money supporting the event.

Right.

If the old man was anyone other than Mike Tyson there wouldn't be nearly this much interest in it.

[gregregegg]

Can not believe anyone in the Texas permission would put there signature to this… at least it’s 2 min rounds, although I feel mike probably needs 30 second rounds…

If mike gets badly hurt I just don’t see how the Texas commission won’t be liable… there job is to sanction fights on Merritt not fights that will do 50 million in revenue…

Also, if they are going to commission it, they going to do drug testing….

Makes the event much bigger and more interesting, but morally reprehensible.

[joshj909]

Obviously don't want Mike to get seriously hurt but a devastating quick knockout with him laid out on the floor for a long time while everyone panics and he ends up on oxygen, live on Netflix, would be good to see the end of these stupid geriatric fights.

[Tony1244]

It's a has-been vs a never was. Interesting matchup actually. The has-been isn't an insult as everyone is a boxing has-been at 58 unless they are a never was.

I'm looking forward to it. Why not?

It's Texas!

[chinarich]

Tyson still showed devastating speed in those 15 second training montages they've been posting, I guess that's how long Jake Paul needs to survive before he can turn the tide and take control of the fight...

Yeah I'm very excited about it too personally. I know it's not gonna be a great fight by any means, but it's unprecedented, and just bizarre in a unique way that's intriguing to me.

I'm fascinated by the fact that anything feels possible with this fight. From Jake stopping Mike to Mike knocking out Jake to both guys carrying each other to Mike Tyson taking a dive in the 1st round.

Anything feels like it could happen, and I'd be good with most results.

If Mike came out, and took a dive from the 1st punch Jake throws. The whole public would be outraged, and he'd get sh*t on all over Social Media, and I'd laugh my ass because it'd actually be the smartest thing he can do, and the best he can do for the World of Boxing at large. Because it would guarantee he doesn't take any unnecessary damage, and it would guarantee that the Boxing World never calls for one of these kinda fights again.

I honestly though don't suspect that'll happen. I suspect they'll both do their best to win here. In the case of Mike though, I suspect he may only be motivated to do his best to win for about 4 to 6 minutes.

I was listening to Teddy Atlas talking about this and he mentioned a potential WWE type of agreement but said good luck to Jake Paul with that as when the bells ring Tyson will forget all about it.

[gilgamesh]

To be honest, I think Jake Paul would be dishonest with such an agreement too. It would do more for his career to beat up and knock out Mike Tyson. So even if they agreed not to, he'd go against it anyway, and try to win because that's the way to make himself a bigger Social Media star.

What could they even do about someone going against some alleged agreement. Fine them? They would have more than enough money to pay for it.

I'm sure there are plenty of fixed fights as it is, nothing happens in those

It could be Foreman-Lylish, that would be interesting. If I have to take a guess, Tyson wins with a perfect punch or he quits after a few rounds.

[Sendo Takeshi]

On one hand, this should never have been sanctioned as a pro fight. On the other hand, this fight is more evenly matched than a lot of others, like Ortiz vs Dulorme. The commissions are a joke if they sanction fights all the time where one fighter is a -2500 favorite.

[hhaehre]

All smoke and mirrors. He's in his late 50's, he has no devastating speed anymore, no reflexes and probably no power to speak of either.
Remember when Shavers made a comeback at 50? Hardest puncher in heavyweight history couldn't ko a 4-20 guy and then got laid out by someone with a 5-16 record. Time waits for no man.
