[BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson

[Oasisman]

Was a knockout artist 19 years ago. We do not know if he could box on a same level with professionals and still knockout them. In the past he could knockout everyone, right now he definitely could easily knockout a regular person.

He is not the same 19 years ago but his opponent now is not a professional boxer, or a boxer with a lot of boxing experience, so the advantage is still on him and I'll gladly put my bet on Mike Tyson to win here. I don't trust whatever strategy Logan Paul will use as he has not won a single fight in boxing.

I don't know if Tyson still do his routine the same as before but if not then there's a chance for Logan Paul to defeat him knowing that he is young and well trained for his upcoming show matches and even though this is only exhibition fight for sure we will have fun watching them knowing that tyson is back on the ring and fighting a young man who want to earn fame on this fight. I don't underestimate Paul for his past matches but let see how this fight end up.

I saw Mikey's routine on YouTube and how he's preparing for this exhibition match and I gotta hand it to Mike because his punches are still there and he's still fast considering he's at his 50's, I'm excited to see the match but I really hope this isn't fixed, I want to bet on this but I'm still having doubts.

Just because the match is being played between the best boxer and a popular face who has trained himself without much of professional boxing experience makes people have a doubt over the exhibition match. Tyson is well known for his punches, and failing against Logan Paul will surely be talked much. So, I'm sure he won't give up his dignity for money.

I don't think Mikey is the "best" boxer. He's not even on the top 10 list from most of the article in the internet.
If he will be defeated with this match, It could be talked about but It doesn't barely touch his dignity as this isn't a professional match anyway, instead it could lead to more money once a rematch/revenge match will be set-up.
Money matters now for Mikey that's what I believe. Though this could be worth the pay as Mikey is among those fighters who are very exciting to watch.

Certainly youth and physical preparation will be Logan's strengths. Mike in the training videos looks really impressive for his age, it's really hard to believe that he looks so good. However, a video of a minute of training will not show what will become the body in a few rounds. If Logan will put to constant pressure, he could make Mike tire and the ending could be his.

Yes, I believe, age is an important factor during a fight, but it's not decisive.
Tyson is still experienced and he can perform several combos (punches) quickly.

I believe that another advantage of Paul is his height (6-2 / 188cm), while Tyson has "only" 5-10 / 178cm.
Probably Paul's wingspan is bigger than Tyson's, and with that he could hit Tyson even from a long distance.

But Tyson is used to fight bigger guys before, so for sure he still has that experience under his belt eventhough he is already old. So for me, I doubt that Logan Paul knows how to take advantage of his reach against even a ageing Mike Tyson.

And with that, it will still be Tyson who has all the tools, power, experience. But this could be another setup exhibition though.

Paul's advantage is only his age, aside from that, I don't see anything that he can use to beat Tyson. The majority has spoken, and we can see in the betting odds of this fight that Tyson is the favorite, so most likely he will win as he has a high chance of winning.

Even though tyson is now 55 years old, but we can't underestimate his skills and experience so far, i think tyson will beat paul logan with a knockout and make logan realize that boxing is not just entertainment like they always do (logan and jake paul) So far, for a true boxer, boxing is a pride and I personally really want to see Tyson destroy Paul Logan arrogance in that fight later.

Mike Tyson is at risk of getting knocked out also, Logan Paul although underestimated in this fight also has the power, still young and eager to earn his first win in an exhibition fight. As Tyson is training, Logan Paul is also doing the same, so it's hard to conclude now who will win, let's just want the actual fight but betting is a must.

You are making your opinion on just one short YouTube video. Yeah, his is fast, fast enough for 30sec speed shadow boxing. And now imagine doing the same for 8*3 minutes. You still think he can be so fast during whole distance? His last professional fight was 19 years ago. I dont remember media showing he has training all these years. I remember he was involved in lots of scandals. I remember him being fat. I see him now being grandpa.

My vision of this fight - if Logan survives first rounds and hard-n-heavy attacks, he has good chances to win by point or end this fight with a draw.

[blockman]

Oh, so there's really like that and that's good to hear, and thank you for sharing. So we might expect from this match to have that the same contract as theirs.
There's that contract for the duration, I've never thought about that and only thought that it's about the ko or not and allowing the boxer to win.

What would you expect? Its not surprising that there would be some contracts to be followed just to make people enjoy the show and wont really be finishing it off right away on round 1 which is understandable but

peoples eyes could able to tell those obvious moves and probabilities for a certain boxer on able to finish it off but due to some conditions then they cant really do that thing which its not surprising at all.

Logan or Mike would win this fight wont really matter or not important at all honestly.

It's different from what I'm thinking and don't know that there's something like that as specified. I don't know about obvious moves but when we see it, then it will be seen.
But there really just good boxers that don't show that they're likely scripted and instead, they're giving the best fights that they can. I agree that no matter who the winner is, it's just an exhibition match.

The actual fight between the two will conclude if who's the best between them, age and speed plus stamina we can't tell who's getting the advantage, though Tyson is already 55 but his body condition or built is still showing good and fit, he might have the power punch that most fans wanted to witness again.

With Paul, he also has that same chance. He can throw a solid punch that may KO Tyson or let the ref stop the fight if he luckily throw
Solid and unavoidable punches to Mike.

Waiting for the actual fight, maybe throwing some spare for Mike to add some excitement.

I don’t think it’s that simple, although a lot of what you said is true. But a significant part of the public who looks at boxing looks at it for the sake of drama, blood, knockouts. They are unlikely to be happy to see the "dancing". Taking into account the fact that they pay real money and the organizers want to receive this money further, I think we will see some kind of intensity in the battle (real or staged).

I'm not all that fussed on knockouts, I'd rather see a competitive war, than a one punch knockout. There's nothing worse than staying up all night for the main event, and one of them gets knocked out in the first few seconds.

100%!
The most annoying thing I encounter in boxing is the discrepancy between the waiting time and the result. Preparation for top fights, negotiations, transfers and all sorts of related things sometimes take several years. After that we watch undercard fights (and if some of them ended with a quick knockout, then we watch ads and wasting time). And if after all this waiting we see a ridiculous quick knockout, then we want to throw the monitor out the window 

I think the same, a KO is without a doubt impressive and most of the time this is what the fans are going to remember about the fight as a KO is very memorable, however it is a huge disappointment when we have waiting for a fight to happen for years and then everything ends on the first rounds and we do not have the chance to see a good fight.

In that sense boxing is special, as in soccer and in may other sports the teams are to play for a set amount of time, however in boxing there is no guarantee the fight will last as long as what the boxers agreed on the contract as a single punch can end the fight in a second.

That's where the excitement comes, we are looking for this one-shot especially coming from Mike Tyson.

A game could end quickly but in a manner like this, it will already satisfy the fans and Mike Tyson would definitely make a headline in the world although this is only an exhibition fight. Maybe it's also available in the betting lines like 1st round KO by Tyson.

Wont really be that eyeing about headlines yet he has nothing to prove out yet he had already proven out back in the past and there's no way that he would do it for the sake of glory or for more attention or something like that. This is an exhibition match which does simply implies that they would really be needing to give out some entertainment on the masses and make their PPV or tickets to be worth for.Seriousness on this match can be seen but
they would need it to last it as much as possible.

Just saw a clip of Tyson admitting he had to attend a recovery  session for addicts because he has only managed to stay 6 days sober recently and its a problem he believes will destroy him so he is trying his best.   Not the best setup for a fight but then he should be well able to handle it anyhow, still I hope he gets back on the road straight and away from his problems dragging him down.

I thought he had already solved this problem, I mean at his age now, he should be living a healthy lifestyle as he is not getting any younger. I get that he is still fit but destroying his body could also destroy his future and we don't want to see a legend like him end up consumed by his problem of being an addict.

Addiction is not really something that you beat once and then you are done with it forever, the fight against addiction is always there and we must understand that for someone like Mike it is even harder, but why is that? Because he moves in a circles in which the temptation to go back to his old ways is always there, and even if we assume he is not as rich as what he was back then he still has more money than the average person, which means he could easily relapse and struggle with alcoholism again.

I doubt it. I don't have much excitement for this match up. In fact, I'll probably skip it. I've watched the previous Jake Paul fights just out of curiosity, the first one where he fought Nate Robinson, it was more like a music concert, than a boxing match. I've lost faith in Triller after that. Then, the Tyron Woodley one was definitely more exciting, but Tyrone definitely scored a knockdown against Jake who fell onto the ropes, but it wasn't given. Then he didn't really acknowledge the fact he was hurt, and just backed off.

I actually didn't watch all of the Mayweather, and Logan fight just caught some of it. Though, that also looked like Mayweather helped Logan at times. I'm not exactly expecting Tyson to help him, but I very much doubt he'll be looking for a knockout.

I don't understand why some technical analysis is being involved in that fight. Believe me, that was all useless if we are talking about exhibition matches. Of course, we can see them serious at the ring but their movements will be limited. No one will give 100% on that fight.

Now to give some additional spice to the event, they should start acting now and throw trash talks to each other lol.

Haha , some take it seriously and professionally while the truth is this fight is like what the recent Tyson fight against Jones in which shows how they are not giving even 80% of their actual skills .

what more that now Logan Paul is a newbie and a much younger opponent that I'm sure will be instructed to Not Give strong punch to consider Tyson's age and capacity to receive the impact .

its near the fight but there are no trashtalking happening .

[Welsh]

its near the fight but there are no trashtalking happening .

I mean would you trash talk Mike Tyson if you were fighting him coming from a non fighting background? Besides, its an exhibition. which has next to nothing riding on it for both fighters. Tyson just shows up, puts in a few rounds, and collects a big pay check, while Logan will be more concerned about looking good, rather than looking to win.  Actually, do we now if a winner will even be announced on the night? I know with exhibitions you don't always get a winner. Logan came out of the Mayweather fight looking good just because he had little spells where he missed everything, but looked like he was doing something, and it'll be more of the same this time.

I'm not even sure it should be allowed to bet on these types of events, where both fighters are guaranteed not to put in much of an effort towards winning, and of course if there's no winner announced unless a knockout occurs then I guess you could only bet on number of rounds. Though, it does appear to be bookies that are taking bets for the fight.

Yes, you are correct, I had not remembered this important variable.

Well, better for Tyson and worse for Logan Paul...probably with the difference in height and wingspan, I believe Mike Tyson will do anything to place the closest to Paul.
I remember, in his prime, Tyson performed these moves against bigger opponents.

But he is not anymore in his prime now, already at 55 years old so there's a lot of question if he can still KO a younger opponent. Though I believe in his capacity to do it, I also make sure that I'm open to seeing the opposite of my expectation as Tyson is really old, period.

Not in his prime but still a very dangerous boxer, for him to be able to fight at age 55, that shows how he high is his passion in boxing and we are going to see him win, probably by KO against a fighter that thinks he can beat a legend.
