[BOXING] Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson

[Welsh]

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.

Alternatively, this shows how much he values a payday. I don't think demonstrates anything about his passion for boxing. Though, I'm definitely not questioning his passion for boxing in general, I just don't think fighting Logan Paul is because he wants to box. It'll be for the money, which there I don't think is a problem, I know there's a lot of people looking down at the fact that retired boxers come back into the sport to make some money, at the end of the day if the opportunity is there, I say take it.

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.

Definitely can. Especially, Logan Paul who hasn't been training boxing very long, and doesn't seem to know how to ride shots like a professional boxer would, at least he doesn't do it in the ring on the night. Power doesn't really leave you much as you age, its your agility which is deteriorates, and while power is a combination of speed, and weight, technique, and various genetic things, but its really only the speed which deteriorates when you age. I guess his technique probably won't be as good anymore since hes not been regularly training, but I have no doubt in my mind that if Mike Tyson wanted to knock out anyone, and he lands correctly he'll knock them out.

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.

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.

He would really be that dumb for Logan on believing that he could beat up Mike? Paul brothers are really making fun of making money out

of these exhibition fights and of course thats because of money in general sense and thanks to those organizers too.

Mike is still capable on knocking those boxers wannabe and you could able to say that without needing to think up that hard.

That's the pumping of young blood. The World knows Mike Tyson for his boxing. Young Logan Paul is an infant in boxing considering the matches Mike Tyson have played throughout his career. Logan Paul might be practicing hard atleast to last few rounds. Whoever wins, this match is gonna get recorded on the history of boxing. Another thing with this particular exhibition fight Logan Paul will gain more popularity.

[Welsh]

I'll be honest, I'm just surprised these things continuously get sanctioned by the commission. I don't want to believe boxing is fixed, but I've definitely seen some weird things happen in its history. I imagine this only gets sanctioned as a exhibition which they have agreed either contractually or verbally not to knock each other out, since obviously Mike is getting older, and has suffered a bit of damage previously in his career, and Logan just isn't good enough to be fighting someone with the record of Mike.

Hardly, if anything this fight, and the other white collar boxing matches involving the Paul brothers recently will likely be remembered for tarnishing boxing's reputation more than anything else. It isn't a particularly interesting fight, and I definitely won't be paying to watch it. I'll be watching the highlights just  for curiosity sake. However, it isn't going to be a classic match which will be routinely talked about in the years to come.

It's important for the bettors but yet either lose or win won't hurt Tyson career, but if Paul lost people will start underestimating him and no hype anymore. Betting in exhibition fight is full of surprise and could lead you earn good sum, because it's a high chance the fight ended as draw or upset.

It is not about Mike Tyson and his career, but his legacy. Logan Paul has lost his fights and in fact in his first fight he lost and do you really think his fan following decreased and that too fighting who was also debuting and whenever he faced any other celebrity even with losses he could create hype and fill the stadium, so this theory is not right.

Yep, sad to say this to be honest but I predict Paul will win.

If you say Jake Paul would stand a chance against an aging Mike Tyson, i would accept but no way Logan Paul would stand a chance.

It's unfortunate that things are going that way.

Impossible for me to think that no pre-discussion is made on how the fight will end up. People just have to live it up from now since exhibition matches become a trend and it's an easy-money scheme without putting both involve fighters at risk, unlike real boxing.

I like your view about the fight however I don't understand why it should be that way. The match is just an exhibition match between an old legend and a Youtuber. There's no legacy to be built and gained on this match.

Analysis and technical discussion can't be applied there. There's even concern that this match will struggle to gather PPVs because of an obvious reason. I don't know how it will contribute to more popularity of Logan Paul as you are pointing to.

Interesting moment i think, is that many professional boxers bet on Tyson rather on Logan Paul. For example:

""The Paul brothers should be made to fight guys in the top ten,” Witherspoon insists, “the Logans won’t even win. They’re conning the boxing public and community and I think it’s a shame."" - quote of Tim Witherspoon (Retired boxer and two-time world heavyweight champion)

That guy (and many other sportsmen) understand that Logan not a real boxer, more like joker.

We all understand that we only watch their fight to witness how they lose.

Logan Paul is not winning in exhibition fights but he continues to make money, so he doesn't care.. he will fight big names in boxing and maybe try to make a script so he will not be hurt in the ring, and I suspect there will be one in this fight against Tyson.

This maybe the reality, these Paul brothers are continuously doing exhibition fights just for the sake of the money. If they win, that's a plus for them, if they lose, that's fine, they will always go home not empty handed. And if they pursue bigger names like Mike Tyson, they will have bigger paycheck. So at the end of the day, it depends on their respective fans whether to buy their fight or not, but definitely, this for me is not worth to bet, as the judge may give different results even if we know, there should be a different one.

The main reason majority of the boxing community is against Logan Paul and Jack Paul is because they never fought as a professionals and from the first fight itself they were making millions of dollars which is unheard of in boxing community. They usually start out less than a thousand dollars in show local fight club and move their ranks which will take years while Logan and Jake starts to earn from their first fight .

I pointed that out in some of my previous posts if I remembered. For Paul Brothers to somehow get the attention of the real boxing fans, they should climb up to where it all started as a boxer.

Since they take boxing as a business, earning decently with just a few minutes works on the boxing ring, they don't care now if the public will criticize them. Even someone dislikes them, they are still paying to watch the match. Don't expect they will lose on the exhibition match because a) they can change the rules to a no-winner rule b) likely it will be staged.

The truth about the Logans fight is to make more money though I don't understand their affection for boxing but if you're a follower or once listen to their podcast you'll understand that these guys are good at making money out of what they are doing that's also the reason why they choose an opponent that will make boxing fans watch the fight.

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.

Besides, no need for Tyson to go fully as his opponent surely will not be that way. Tyson is like a strong wall and it needs numerous strong punches to be destroyed. I don't think Logan Paul does have that kind of punches. Tyson has no need to go offensively as playing defense, he will be safe.

But since that's an exhibition match, consider that match the same as having a sparring session.

Im not seeing any probabilities for Logan to take him down even he would give his best shot or punch towards Tyson.This guy is a legend and theres no way that he can be beaten up by some youtube sensation.
Well there would be some support but for the sake of money then he would really make his face a little bit thick to face up those negative impressions and criticisms towards him and so as with his brother too.
Exhibition fights become the main trend for now and only small numbers of official fights do happen.

[agustina2]

No mate, there are lots of official fights and upcoming ones. Others are not just that trendy as exhibition matches but we have had lots of good fights recently like Canelo vs Plant, Crawford vs Porter, Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder III, etc.

Exhibition match becomes a trend for non-boxers as no need to make it serious, unlike a professional match. They can earn money within just a short period of exposure without putting in heavy training beforehand.

I wonder what the pension for boxers is, if I remember right Tyson did not save his earnings or gain from good advice in his prime.   Partly his fault but also the common exploitation in the industry; this fight is his pension and I'm sure he is grateful for it and will play the script.   Tyson has been a beneficiary and victim of his own particular temper, this time I think he knows the game is showbiz and talk not dealing and avoiding KO blows.
   This isnt the Foreman comeback, its not even that fine grill its just an appearance for an audience who only heard the tale of Tyson never saw him in the ring.

I think that the financial problem of Mike Tyson is already resolved. He's not currently in a bad financial state now. As for why he becomes interested in exhibition matches, a sure profit without much physical contact. That match is now surely staged and the revenue is now on properly allocation.

There are people who didn't witness the greatness of Mike Tyson. That might be the reason why there are people who are willing to pay for the fight regardless if it's against Paul or to anybody.

Though he struggles financially in the past due to bad spending habit, it still does not make him homeless.
As for this year, his Net worth is at $3 million, so he is still a millionaire, and money will keep coming if he continues to make himself busy with exhibition fights.

Why people do really tend to dig about Mikes history in regards with financial? If it was still unresolved then its none of our business.

Thing here is that he do make out some agreement for these exhibition fights and we know that he has some that reputation and fame
when it comes to boxing so its his right whether he do accept it or not.

Just let things to be because we do have our decisions to make.
