Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson | Netflix - November 15, 2024

[Controversial]

Watched third one of the Netflix series earlier, showed a bit of Tyson sparring and I didn’t think he looked great, seemed knackered in one of the short clips. JP was weighing 223 and said he hopes to be a few pounds heavier but struggling to keep the weight on and he thinks Tyson will be around 230

If you read the comments on YouTube accompanying the pieced together, sped up clips of Tyson sparring, you'd be on the floor laughing like a Smash Martian.

Apparently he's a beast, the best ever and even at his age, Paul is getting smoked.

It's as if the concept of ageing doesn't exist in their parallel universes.

I know, thing is we have an idea what Tyson will be like as he fought RJJ four years ago, he’s not getting any better and he couldn’t hurt an old overweight past it Jones back then.

Not to be that guy....but cmon, jones knows how to survive, he has the footwork and used it, that 54yr old tyson would have pissed this. Looks to have been a hard 4yrs physically though

Jones clinched about every ten seconds in that exhibition. I figure since Jake Paul was a former college wrestler, he'll have no trouble tying up Mike Tyson too. If an old man could do it no matter what his reputation was when he was young, a young guy full of piss and vinegar with rudimentary skills can too.

Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all

[Ruthless-RKO]

Jones said Tyson hit him the hardest in his career. Don’t know if he’s just blowing smoke up his ass

No matter how great Tyson looks physically you lose your punch resistance, look what happened to the normally granite chinned 58 year old Holyfield when he fought again, flattened in two minutes in the first round.

RJJ did know how to survive but Tyson still caught him with some solid shots and Jones took them without much issue that’s what I meant. I hope I’m wrong and he flattens JP though.

And your stamina. Maybe if the rds were 20-30 seconds, Tyson would dominate. But they are not. Tyson will succumb to fatigue.

Jake Paul: " It's not about how long you have been doing something, it's about how good you do it; and on Friday night people are going to see me outbox the person who has been doing it their whole life".

The whole bout is a farce, Mike Tyson is there in name only. Nostalgia is a curse for all of us.

I noticed Jake Paul had spots all over his back after one training session in episode 3 of the behind the scenes documentary on Netflix.

[Fray Bentos]

Paul isn't a bad fighter at all but Tyson can definitely win this. Everytime I have seen Paul fight, he is huffing and puffing after four rounds - Tyson has to go all out in the first few rounds and put combinations to the body and head and throw those uppercuts when he gets him on the ropes. I hate the fact that Paul is so cynical to do something like this to get Tyson's name on his record - I hope Tyson smashes his pudendum in.

What annoys me is there is no consideration or mention by JP that he is fighting a 58 year old, in fact he says it’s a good thing rather than what it is, fighting someone decades past their best. It’s on a par with a 27 year old challenging a 58 year old Usain Bolt to a race and claiming if he beats him he’s then the fastest man on the planet.

Farce all around, Paul should be ashamed of himself insisting on fighting a near 60 crippled old mentally unstable stoner, not as ashamed as the Texas commission though for sanctioning this as a proper legit contest, least with the exhibition who cares what they do?, surely they can't be pre arranged agreements but I wouldn't be surprised, knocking out this version of Mike Tyson isn't a good look, didn't he humiliate himself enough losing to Tommy Fury??

I like what Jake Paul's been doing in boxing mostly, his own careers been trash but I enjoy his shows and he looks after his fighters from what I gather

Still I can't help but pull for the convicted rapist, Jake's taking a liberty

I think the agreement will be, make it look fun, no ones gets knocked out and it'll be a close, but slightly controversial decision to Jake Paul.

If it's a legitimate sanctioned bout them there should be no agreements whatsoever, if Tyson wants to get embarrassed for millions then fine but can't be having stipulations etc

I agree, but this is boxing.

This event is toilet

The Countdown show to this on Netflix is about as stupid as you'd suspect. They actually at one point imply how dangerous Mike Tyson is to Jake Paul because of how dangerous Mike Tyson is on the Punch Out video game

Don’t forget his sparring partner has only ever had a black eye twice and once was from Mike lol. What also makes me laugh is Tyson trainer on the pads, all you ever see is him looking amazed and saying ooooh when Tyson’s hits the mitts.

[emallini]

Paul is terrible but Tyson is just too old.

Even if there is an agreement, I wouldn't doubt that it may have been made simply to get Mike to agree to the bout. If it's an officially sanctioned bout there can be no agreement that says you can't knock the opponent out on paper anywhere, so it would have be to a handshake agreement at best, and it'll be worth what those are always worth.

Re-read my prediction, Thatcher. I’m saying Jake Paul will iron Iron Mike out.

It’s a cheeky nod to my worst ever prediction on the forum, where I preceded a breakdown on why Francis Ngannou would beat AJ by saying “I might get some stick for this…”

Mike is one of the best heavyweights to ever lace them up, but he can have as much stem cell treatments as he wants, and juice as much as he likes, but he’s a near 60 year old who has snorted mountains of coke and knackered his lungs with decades of weed and, if you believe Steve-o’s stories about doing cocaine with Mike, where he would pour cocaine into a rolled out cigarette and smoke that too, then everything else. 20 years ago Mike was shot to pieces. His fight with RJJ was an exhibition for the pair of them, not really a real fight.

Jake Paul is young and fit and, let’s face it, shite. But if it’s a real fight and they really are going to properly go in and try and knock ten bells out of each other, the young guy who has millions at his disposal to spend on training and has multiple stoppages over old legends (albeit non boxers) is going to bash a haggard old drug addict.

I hope the curse of my crap predictions strikes again, but I won’t be watching it.
