[Poll added 15 November] Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

This was supposed to be an exhibition but it looks like they are going for it, who is your money on?

I loved Tyson when the majority of boxing fans hated him, i hope he knocks Paul out in the first round.

Who is Jake Paul? You need to think carefully about letting Mike Tyson hit you.

He's the guy on the right

I sort of figured that out. What's his background?

I have watched a few of his fights and dont give him much of a chance unless he can stay out of Tysons range for a few rounds, a lot of boxers have tried that and failed has Tyson still got it at this age?

Anybody who pays to watch this, words fail me

I've not seen any of Jake Pauls fights and nor would I but i've heard that he isn't bad, he takes it quite seriously. This sounds absolutely dreadful, it very much depends on how Tyson has aged I reckon.

Jake Paul isn't a bad boxer. How many rounds are they going for? Might come down to fitness and how dirty Tyson is

watch the documentary where he fights tommy fury. i have mixed feelings about it. jake paul is a youtube interent click bait whore. - i am actually a little nervous about writing that in a public forum . lol no i would not say that to his face.
as tommy fury is from UK i assumed everyone here would know about the jake paul fight.
the documentary is very good its definitely a worthwhile watch. tommy fury is no joke. the fury family especially the father has a lot of good things to say about paul and what he has done for boxing. that being said, the whole thing reeks of boxing being fixed and an entertainment wrestling style type of venue more than a sport. sort of.

i was much more impressed with the whole show and concept and what fury had to say until i found out that "the fury's" have a reality show now and no doubt it is a result of this documentary. which causes poor optics even if the two are not related.

sorry i forgot to link it :

netflix doc: untold , jake paul the problem child

it portrays jake in a good light and i have a certain amount of respect for him its hard not to with someone who is willing to get into a ring with another man in order to beat the living daylights out of each other.

i think tyson will murder him. i dont know how he has the balls to get in the ring with him its probably stupidity or a deathwish or for clicks or all three.

btw all the untold docs are pretty good and worth a watch

I guess he thinks Tysons age will be his undoing but from thr footage I have seen I think it's a big gamble.

If all else fails for Mike T he can at least go for the bite The other guy needs to keep a close eye on whether he's put his gum shield in or not at the start of a round.

Mike should get some gum shields like this to scare the **** out of Paul

for jake its all about the publicity . win or lose he wins . but still losing could mean like permanent disabiltiy or at least ptsd. or who knows. like you said its a gamble. the guy is definately fearless.

1st round by Tyson and watch **** Paul’s eyes go out.

This was supposedly an exhibition match imagine how Tyson would have reacted the first time Paul hit him in the face, it was never going to go full distance.

As a former amateur boxer I have huge respect for Iron Mike, BUT with the best will in the world he will no be as fast or as powerful in his later years, yes the craft and skill is in abundance and many did not respect how great a boxer Mike was due all the freakshow that he became.

I think this could be an interesting match up to see if youth and speed matches experience and mindset.

Really can't call it as not sure if Iron Mike has started to rust away.

If he has half his moves he should dispatch Jake Paul I think.

Or it becomes a farce if it drags on the fitness of the younger man will prevail
