Jake Paul to Fight Mike Perry (Tyson) in Live Netflix Boxing Event - July 20

[notblox1]

I thought this was a joke, but I would not fool around with Mike Tyson, he is very fit as he is working with Francis Ngannou, and at 57 he is punching better than most man.
Accepting to fight 30 years younger Jake Paul is crazy, but this is going to be more like exhibition fight to collect money and attention.
I cant wait to see odds and press conference, but now you can enjoy watching one of his training from this year: https://youtu.be/xp2DtSxm6L4

[Slow death]

When I saw the announcement of this fight I said to myself that Jake chose the wrong guy to fight, that's because despite Tyson being an advanced person, he hasn't stopped practicing boxing, even though this practice is in training and not in real fights, you can still see Tyson's features when he was young and notice the power of his punch, probably the problem could be if this fight went on for many rounds, if that happened it would only benefit Jake, that's why in My opinion is that Tyson will do everything he can to attack Jake with full force in the first rounds of the fight so that he can win early and looking at Jake and the fights he's had, I don't think he's a tough guy when it comes to suffering. heavy punches and resist

This is because until now he has fought against very weak fighters who in the fights threw few punches that caused a lot of damage to Jake, so Jake is not used to conceding strong goals and resisting and when he fights Tyson he will be facing a lot of strong punches constantly. , because one of Tyson's characteristics are his strong, heavy and very fast punches, in my opinion Tyson will win this fight and this will make the current top fighters lose all interest in wanting to fight Jake, if now they don't have interest, so as soon as Jake loses in this fight it will be worse. If I had the option to bet, I wouldn't hesitate to bet on Tyson to win

[Casdinyard]

He just beat Ryan Bourland recently who looks like not willing to fight and Jake is up again for another.
They should call this a fight but an exhibition but believe it or not is happening. You think Mike is done after Roy Jones but Jake wants to pull him again for he just needs recognition from the boxing community.  

I would be surprised if Mike beats Jake. He is 60.  Would you bet if its on Stake?

Jake Paul is set to fight former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a boxing match that will be livestreamed on Netflix.

The bout is scheduled to take place on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas and will be available to all Netflix subscribers. Additional information, including the co-main event and undercards, will be announced at a later date. It is being produced in a partnership between Netflix and Paul’s and Nakisa Bidarian’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).

This will not be the first time Paul and Tyson have appeared on a boxing card together. Paul fought in the co-main event of the pay-per-view that saw Tyson fight an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, which was Tyson’s first boxing match since 2006. Paul defeated former NBA player Nate Robinson via knockout in the second round in what was Paul’s second professional boxing match.

I saw a twitter post a few minutes ago talking about how shameless Jake Paul is for forcing this old legend who's 60 years old by the by and is walking with a literal cane for support to fight against him for money and clout, but then again this is Mike Tyson we're talking about so if he pisses him enough to really bring the old tiger out of the cage then we might see Jake Paul dying this match (in the metaphorical and possibly literal sense).Never liked the guy and never will, the fights he set for himself are heavily rigged towards him and he usually just goes for the weak fishes or the old dogs so his wins do not mean shit really, this time it could be different, since as we all know Mike may have gotten soft from all these years, but he's still a ferocious beast regardless and we could see said beast come out if pissed off enough.

I'm embarrassed to say that I'm looking forward to this fight considering Mike's opponent's a literal Disney Channel graduate, and thus far I've never been really impressed with Jake Paul at all, but this is Mike we're talking about, so we might just see something really cool happen.

Da fuck. Just saw Jake post this and didn't know whether it's legit or not.

Mike Tyson also posted it: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4NzOXlroRJ/

And TNT (though not sure why they would be promoting it since it seems to be a Netflix exclusive): https://www.instagram.com/p/C4N1dpNtJbg/

Not gonna lie, I'm kinda piqued by this. Tyson is still a beast and can throw even at his age, but his boxing acumen may override Jake's youth and of course his relative inexperience. I think this is 50/50 right now for me. Personally, I would have liked to see Mike fight John Fury but I suspect John is all talk and wouldn't step up for it. Jake should either be going for the Tommy Fury rematch or the KSI fight which is probably the biggest fight for both of them.

Thank you for the link.

July 20. Hmm. This is still far away and yet I am excited to see what will happen. This will be the first time I will watch Jake Paul fight at full length because, on his past fights, I was not really interested so I just peeked and turned it off. This though I will not miss, not because of him but because of Mike Tyson. I have been a big fan of that dude ever since his dominating era.

Yes, old age might affect but still, just one punch could end it all. Tyson ain't like other boxers that will play with him in the ring, he will definitely attack once the bell rings and I hope Jake can avoid all the haymakers that he will throw.

Damn, I am imagining it right now and I can see Jake's face facing the canvas.  

[STT]

The number one thing about Tyson as I understand it was the technique he was gifted at an early age by a teacher who never even lived to see his story and success play out but thats how early he was taught to move right and defend right.    At the tail end of his years now I dont think he has forgot to move right where as Jake Paul probably never learnt.    Sure a younger man has advantages but if you play your advantage wrong then nothing can help you out of making a wrong move.

Cant believe that even as a show match this would happen but congratulations to both of them if they pull it off and make enough money to be satisfied with the result no matter what.  I thought it was all just a hype based rumor really but I can believe its profitable for sure to play out something, an actual honest fight not sure but show match covers many possibilities.

I absolutely do not like Jake Paul and how him and Logan are not going up the ranks traditionally so I have not supported them by buying any of the PPV events, but I will 100% purchase this 1 and hope that and aged Tyson knocks the snot out of him. Tyson way past his prime and prob alot slower than he used to be, but the guy has some massive power and if he connects a few good hits its goodnight Mr. Paul.

1st time I've been excited for a boxing match in a long while.

Dont know but we do have on the same feels, i dont like those Paul Brothers on which it do really sucks on how they do make some shitty shows just to hype up their fight.

Even though Tyson is old then i would really be still betting on him. Even 60 years old could knocked out that sh*t Jake paul in the canvass.
But its true that when it comes to movement then this is where old age would be having its toll but Legendary boxer even if its retired and old but still
its punch could still pack a load.

What I hope about this fight is for Tyson to be ready and prepared. Given the fact that he is the professional boxer here. Still, he needs to be in shape and prepared for the fight. Don't take this for granted and just go inside the ring without training.

Of course, Paul won't just sit there and wait for the fight to happen. Definitely, he will prepare for this one. It may be his biggest challenge on his career so far. So, I am expecting that he will do his share of totally preparing via rigid and serious training on this one.

So, I was looking for the prelim odds over the net, and surprisingly, Paul is the favourite here. Maybe, because of his age and he already showed some boxing skills via his previous matches.

Yes, it's all for the money, big backer behind is Netflix, maybe they poured like around $100 million just to make this fight and do promotions. So I guess everyone was surprised to see this fight isn't it? But then again, Jake Paul started all this craze in the pandemic and he is a master promoter and making shitload of money? So why not call and fight Mike Tyson next? For sure this is going to be as intriguing as any of his fights, plus fight fans as still fascinated with the legend Mike Tyson. Jake Paul being the favorite? What's the odd makers are thinking? Even at his 57, might can still throw and have power that can knockout anyone.

He had one exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr years ago, he looks like he did some training, but we all know at that age, really hard to go back to fighting shape. Although he could as active as of late because he did train Francis Ngannou.

Of course, Paul won't just sit there and wait for the fight to happen. Definitely, he will prepare for this one. It may be his biggest challenge on his career so far. So, I am expecting that he will do his share of totally preparing via rigid and serious training on this one.

For sure, Jake has been in his best shape, he is young, so obviously he can train as hard as he can become huge. And he just have his last fight a week ago so he is still very much into shape. I'm more interested on Tyson's training. Although we knows that he is a pro boxer and know the regimen, but I do hope he trains to win and not just go to the process of this exhibition fight for the money.

[Darker45]

Jake Paul has made the sport of boxing a big joke. Unfortunately, where the money is, the promoters and sponsors are also there. They can always make things happen.

But I'm wondering why the fans are still watching such ridiculous matches. They're probably just fans of the Youtuber and not really solid fans of the sport of boxing.

I wouldn't bet on exhibition matches especially like this one. Mike Tyson, a 60-year old boxer who has long been retired, doesn't stand a chance against a 27-year old hyperactive kid.

Even at his current age, I still believe Mike Tyson is still a monster in the ring and he will prepare everything well, especially stamina.
Mike Tyson has strength, speed, skill, strong defense, combinations, parrying and many others. While Jake Paul was just an amateur boxer who had never faced a real boxer in his entire career, Mike Tyson had it all and was also the greatest and strongest boxer of all time in his time.
Jake Paul's favorite, maybe because of age or it could be regulated. But if the fight really takes place purely I'm sure Mike Tyson will destroy him.

[FinneysTrueVision]

It’s really shameful to see Mike Tyson being used like this. He might be in great shape but he is still 58 years old and shouldn’t be getting punched in the head at this age. Jake Paul is a mediocre boxer but towards the end of his career, Tyson was losing to journeymen who were of comparable or even lesser quality than Jake.

There will still be people who give Jake Paul a free pass and say he is just a beginner, but in reality his career is a farce and he will never take boxing seriously. He will just look to make money in the easiest way possible.

I had posted this along with the fight advertisement but I guess a moderator deleted it and set it not to notify me so I couldn’t easily repost the graphic and all the information here. I won’t bother posting it again, or the link to Jake’s social media post, but it’s out there if you want to search for it and see the actual fight announcement.

This topic was started earlier. They usually delete or lock threads that are a duplicate although they should have just merged them. I don’t know if it’s possible in this forum.

I don't believe this fight will be a serious and professional fight, for me it's more of a spectacle to raise funds... Like a friendly match and people can see Tyson fighting live and in person. Nothing high performance.

It seems that it is becoming routine for fighters from the past to return to the ring to make money, here in Brazil we had world champion Acelino Popó Freitas fighting against a winner of the TV show Big Brother lol

This is a thing. He posted a video on his youtube with a promo video of this fight while getting a face tat so it is happening even if we want to see it or not.

Imagine challenging a guy who is aging and seen as Rocky's coach while training Francis to a fight. Think he turns 58 in June so that is even worse.

I wouldn't bet on exhibition matches especially like this one. Mike Tyson, a 60-year old boxer who has long been retired, doesn't stand a chance against a 27-year old hyperactive kid.

Mike Tyson's last fight was three years ago if a boxer has that long lay off people will doubt his capability look at the Thurman case, I understand that this is an exhibition fight but when you're in the ring with someone like Jake Paul who will grab any opportunity just to enhance his image he'll go for it if he sees an opportunity to knock out Tyson he'll take it.

Jake Paul has been fighting over these years while Tyson is just conditioning himself in the gym that's two different things, I agree that Tyson will put himself in big trouble.

Someone has to put Jake Paul in the right place and it's not Mike Tyson, it's time for promoters to promote Jake Paul to fight a fighter in the top 10, people are getting tired of seeing him fight low-level boxers, MMA retirees, and random guys.

[Yatsan]

Something huge indeed but on the other side of the story, it is a bit weird that jake is taking on retired and older fighters who have title in them. Quite of a turn down for him 'coz he should be fighting fighters on his level. Although it is an exhibition match we cannot hide the idea that their 'names' are on the line with this one. If it is with age then for sure there is a mismatch, same thing with experience but we cannot call this an equal fight.  Jake is labeled as a fighter who takes advantage of his opponents but I doubt that regardless of his age, he would give this fight easily. Mike has an image to defend, which I think he won't go easy with Jake. If it is with who will be on advantage, then I'd still go with a biased point of view in favor with Mike. Experience itself is a big edge in a fight and that is something no one can steal from a fighter.

Jake Paul knows his own strengths and weaknesses, that’s why he picking fights he can win. I don’t expect to see Jake Paul in a fight with a top boxer. Him and his brother are clout chasers, they love being the center of attention and love the idea of being “fighters”. I don’t like either of the brothers but I respect that Logan Paul isn’t making a fool of the sport and is sticking to entertainment and WWE. I think Jake Paul should do the same.

No boxing organization holds his ass yet so there is nothing that stops Jake from doing all these exhibitions. The funniest part is that these fights are recorded as if they were professional fights.

The brothers are pretty much clever in setting up all these fights, it's their business. It's surprising to see they have even made Mike Tyson agree to this fight. Let's say Mike gets $10M for this might, its still cheap but he agreed. I think the old man misses the ring too.

[qwertyup23]

It's been posted on all social media Tyson still attracts a lot of attention, this is an interesting and exciting fight Tyson is still at the peak of his health even though he is already 60 years old but age is always a factor when it comes to boxing, Tyson may be good in the first two rounds but old age will catch with him and the fresh legs of Jake Paul will take over.

I find it hilarious that Jake Paul has been going with all these exhibition fights like he intentionally avoids bona fide boxers to fight to. Though all things considered, I will not blame him as he attracts attention and this fight alone could mean millions of dollars to his pocket.

While this may be an exhibition match, seeing Tyson fight again on the ring is definitely a treat. My father grew up watching Tyson and to be able to watch him fight again on the ring is definitely a treat and an experience not to miss.

Yup I have noticed this pattern that he aims to battle mostly veterans and retired boxers. Perhaps this is the norm nowadays that these people do- exhibition matches as this garners attention, viewers, and money at the same time. No wonder there has been an influx of exhibition matches being offered.

Easy money for both fighters, this is a real exhibition fight but if there's a winner and odds are available, I think I will bet on the younger and active boxer. It's true that Tyson is a legend, but he is already old, against a young boxer who can also fight, I don't see Mike Tyson winning here. Honestly, I believe the only reason why people would bet on Tyson is because they got influence by the hype of the legend, but me, I see the current situation and based on my analysis, all the edge point out to Jake Paul.
