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

[Hirose UK]

Oh well, the argument has turn now into a Jake Paul fanboy or not, Lol. But in any case, it looks like the boxing community here is divided already? Some might not like what Jake Paul is doing and not it drags the name of one of the legend in boxing and we say that it is ok for him to fight and do exhibitions match? And this could be a trend now, I thought that after we go back to the norm, this kind of exhibition match will end as well. However, it looks like they want to continue because they are making a good amount of money out of casual and hard core boxing fans specially if Jake Paul will have a dance partner that is a legend like Mike Tyson in this case.

Actually, the dislike for Paul has been going on for long time and he has received various bad comments among boxing fans because in several fights he chose fighters who old.
But even though he gets various harsh comments, this fight will still continue considering that there is large amount of money being made for their fight.
But I don't care because I want to see Paul beaten by Mike Tyson like when he lost to Tommy Fury or worse by knockout.
That way, I sure Paul won't make another ridiculous fight in the future because a defeat like that would definitely embarrass him and Paul would really lose his name in his debut as boxer.

Fight is still quite long and there is plenty of time to prepare everything, in this fight all I hope is that Mike Tyson can give big surprise by beating Paul.
If it is not possible that in the future there will be another fighter who could be equal to him and make him feel truly bitter defeat, there are several fighters who could be the main options after the fight against Mike Tyson is over.

Jake Paul is now a businessman, even if he losses to Mike Tyson as much as we wanted him to be removed from the fight scene, he will still continue and go for exhibitions fight and who knows, he could be chasing other legends like Manny Pacquiao and others.

We've seen Mike Tyson training already and his videos have been circulating in the media already. Yeah, still that far but Tyson "don't want to leave any stone unturned". So it's good to have him train early and maybe we can see Tyson in his best shape of his life when he shows in this fight in July.

What we are seeing is just a clip of the training, not the entire training session, so I hope it doesn't create a hype that we think Mike Tyson is still young and could beat Jake Paul. Because honestly, I think this fight is very dangerous for Mike Tyson considering his age, and against a young opponnent who has a power to knockout an opponent, this is too risky for him.

And based on the rules of the fight, I hope they'll follow this; in order for both boxers to be safe. ^{But Mike better be ready}

The fight could be six, eight or even 10 rounds and three judges would be ringside to score it, unlike an exhibition which would not be scored and no winner would be declared. KO's would also be possible in a professional fight, an outcome that is unlikely in exhibitions as both fighters usually don't put their foot on the gas as much.

Boxing is a sport where speed. power, footwork, and reflexes decide whether you win, sleep on the canvas, or lose via the judges. Unfortunately, these are well connected to someone's age. So as much as I'm a Tyson fan and I wanted to see Jake Paul not moving on the canvas, I think the guy will tire out first before landing any significant punches to Paul. Training can only do so much but realistically, the age gap is too far and Tyson is definitely not close to how he was in his prime. These Pauls are really trying to get into the center of fight games with Logan doing professional wrestling. I'd love to see both wipe the ring with their faces. Lol. Just kidding.

[STT]

Create hype that maybe Tyson can win is a funny way to put it   hype that any proper fighting will occur is more like it.  If its a proper fight then Tyson wins simple as that, Jake Paul has a 5 inch reach advantage but he lacks the skills to make the most of it vs a well trained boxer with decades of experience against the best in the world.

Tyson is going to have to be ill to lose this fight, which is possible but does not look currently true.   If Tyson had a glass jaw, if Jake Paul lands a lucky shot sure but those are extreme hopes of people taking that bet; the bias is obviously for Tyson imo.

Or, when being a later starter, he is not using warm-up guys to build his undefeated record. Or wait, but that is what all of you want. You want him to fight no-names, get 20-0 and only then start fighting big names. How old he is going to be when he should start fighting big names? 35? 40? And of course, as a media guy, he should not use his name to earn.

I am not a Jake Paul fanboy, but the arguments everyone uses is absurd. From your point of view, as a cruiserweight, he must face some his level. As he is a newbie, he should fight only newbies. Lets go to https://boxrec.com/ and search for lame cruiserweight, someone from US, so he wont have to go far. Tre Baker 0-3 - perfect. Lucas Queen 1-10 - even better. You want him to fight guys like this? Or I dont get your point.

You missed the point entirely. It would be fine if he was fighting tune-ups to start his career and progressively moved on to more difficult opponents but it seems he only is interested in fighting no-hopers his entire career.

As a late starter it is more urgent to start fighting semi-decent opponents early on, instead of easily knocked out opponents they throw teen aged prospects against to build a record and get used to punches from grown men.

Jake isn’t a teenager, he isn’t an obscure club fighter looking to make ends meet against whatever opponent is available. He is a multi-millionaire and his own promoter that can choose to fight whoever he wants. The fact that he is continuing to cherry pick opponents that are way beneath his level, and a showcase fight against a nearly senior citizen aged legend, shows his lack of commitment towards improving as a fighter.

Well, they are two very good legends, but personally I have always been a fan of Mike Tyson, he is one of the best in the world for me, although the truth is that for me these types of fights do not motivate me much, because they are exhibition fights and it is something Which doesn't give me much pleasure, of course, at this point I know that a great guy like Mike is not going to fight seriously, although now he currently has a lot of health problems, I think. The best known is that of the sciatic nerve, the truth is that they have kept him in a wheelchair because of the immense pain he must feel. These types of things take years to arrive, but they come with the years, the years sometimes bring us things that are not so good, that is why one as an athlete should always practice sports, one should never give up the habit of practicing sports, it is what keeps us young and makes us rejuvenate our cells with the passage of time.

Shirtless Mike Tyson Looks Absolutely Jacked At 57 Years Old Before Fight Vs Jake Paul

“I don’t think he’s faster than me. I train every day, I take it serious… I’m invincible.

“I think he;s come a long way from YouTubing. I seen a YouTube of him at 16 doing weird dances, that’s not the guy I’m fighting. This guys gonna come, try and hurt me… and he’s gonna be greatly mistaken.”

We’ll have to wait and see if Tyson has the conditioning to keep up with the much younger Paul during their fight.

With the rules in place that were published like 2 weeks ago everybody already knows this is not a real fight.
There is a handshake agreement behind closed their nobody will be embarrassed.

I mean, no judges, heaver gloves, no scorecard, no decision.
KO's are as good as impossible, which would be the only way to determine a winner.
So what is this fight actually for? It's not a regular fight and it's not even an exhibition. Just a show stunt like WWE, just with less interest.

Both participants should be ashamed of themselves. They both don't need the money and any publicity from this fight is bad publicity.

Exactly, it ends up being more hype than a fight. In the end, it will be an exchange of weak punches where both know each other's next move, an arranged dance. Where it's not worth watching or betting on. At least with the given rules.

Then you are also missing the point, because his opponents somehow manage to be not no-hopers. If they were like that, then nobody would make predictions how they going to knockout or kill Jake in the ring. Everytime he fights someone, people use following: his opponent is experienced, former champion, destroy people and so on. Lets take his fight. See how many people mention the power of Mike, his speed for his age, his form, his past achievements. People here give 100 reasons where Mike is better. It that how no-hoper look ?

Btw, why many think that he is doing that for money only? Of corse he will get paid for that. But nobody is forced to buy PPV. This time it will be free for everyone with Netflix subscription. Instead of paying 40-60 bucks for fight, people can get a monthly subscription even here for few bucks.

What can we expect? You think Mike Tyson are gonna exchange hard punches against a younger boxer, that would be putting his life at risk. Man, this is an exhibition fight, we all know that from the very beginning, we just thought it's for real because we were hype, and that is because of what Mike Tyson did during his career as a boxer, but let's be real here, he ain't the same guy, he is already old although still fit.

Expecting something that is uncertain will really make us disappointed if the results are not in line with what we expected, but supporting, appreciating and motivating is a way or attitude where we like the figure because of his strengths.
It is true that Mike Tyson is no longer young, especially if he meets young world boxers, it is very likely that this will be a long-awaited fight because the positive side can be taken, namely for Mike Tyson whether his inner strength is still strong. said to be worthy of being a professional boxing player. the world and for Jake Paul this can be training because by meeting and competing against Mike Tyson he can gain greater courage to face his senior boxers in the future.

[YOSHIE]

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

If it really happens next july Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson in the ring for a boxing tournament, this is absolutely ridiculous and I had to laugh out loud, strange, unique, rare and so it all sums it up, boxing that is worth watching and not worth betting on, even if Tyson is serious against Paul and vice versa, but I have doubts about the meeting between the two of them, like a joke, there is a shrimp behind a rock.

Logically, is Paul trying to fight Tyson and vice versa, is Tyson trying to fight Paul, is Tyson not enough of a champion that he took the title of concrete neck, what does Tyson expect from the beard.

If the quote below, Paul goal.

"I'm going to face Tyson to see if I can beat one of the most famous boxers and the biggest icon in the world of boxing," said Paul about the fight which will be broadcast on Netflix.

Obviously, I just wanted to watch and didn't think about risking my money on either.

Even though Tyson said it like this.

"This fight is purely for money. Tyson, who used to be a predator in the heavyweight class, is coming out of the shadows not because he loves boxing but because of money.

But I'm not sure and don't believe it, joke.

[Iroh]

Exactly, it ends up being more hype than a fight. In the end, it will be an exchange of weak punches where both know each other's next move, an arranged dance. Where it's not worth watching or betting on. At least with the given rules.

It may not exactly be a real fight, I think it could still be enjoyable to watch. Perhaps the outcome of the fight has already been predetermined as the fight is merely for show. It’s obviously not your regular fight.
I would say it’s definitely not worth betting your money on as the outcome might not necessarily be determined by skills or strength and while the differences in age, speed and strength between both fighters is obvious, the outcome is still highly speculated.

Jake Paul is now a businessman, even if he losses to Mike Tyson as much as we wanted him to be removed from the fight scene, he will still continue and go for exhibitions fight and who knows, he could be chasing other legends like Manny Pacquiao and others.

The same can be said about Mike Tyson too that even if he loses this match with Jake Paul there will be no harm in his fan following and he will still get plenty of opportunities for further exhibition matches.

The point is that there are a lot of fans for Jake Paul and also many people love Mike Tyson and would want him seen as a winner. Therefore both these gentlemen will try to win the match and do not disappoint their die hard fans. I hope it is more about being successful in front of fans and anything other than this may not be a priority for these boxers who have already achieved a lot in their boxing career.

I want Mike to win the match but I'm ok whoever wins the match as long as Mike Tyson will not get hurt, the hardest to accept is for Jake Paul to knock out Tyson, Mike is already 57 years he may be still in the peak of his health but his body is not made for serious boxing anymore.

We have a saying,  body the mind still wants but the body cannot respond anymore, there will be a point in the fight when Mike's Body cannot respond anymore because of his age, Mike's body has limitations while Jake Paul still can keep up.

Sure he will be training hard as Tyson has built his name to be a solid KO artist. But I doubt this will be a serious fight. It's called an "Exhibition fight" for a reason, no one will get harm especially the old guy and probably Jake Paul would be able to continue his career as a boxer now. There's still plenty of time to promote the fight, but the world knows it's Mike Tyson so they'll watch especially that it's broadcast in Netflix where membership is not expensive unlike paying a PPV subsciption.

I also doubt that this is going to be a serious fight. You know how Jake Paul fights and if this is going to be favorable to him then Mike will have to let go with his ego and pride and let the guy win.

With the history of Paul with his matches, it's said that there's always some contract being done before the match happens or even the day the fight has been announced to the media.

There's still plenty of time to promote the fight, but the world knows it's Mike Tyson so they'll watch especially that it's broadcast in Netflix where membership is not expensive unlike paying a PPV subsciption.

It's more of a comfortable PPV this time since it's on Netflix.

I read in a recent report that Jake Paul said he would break Mike Tyson's teeth lol, these guys are doing everything they can to market this fight, the hype is really high.

But also in that same interview, Jake Paul said that despite being much younger, anything can happen because Mike Tyson is MUCH stronger and more experienced than him...

About who will win, we don't know yet as there has been no official rules of the fight, or maybe I just missed it..
I think they will just be showing what they got but no one will get hurt in the end, they should consider the health of Mike Tyson, though we've seen him training but I think he's just all talk at his age now, compared to Jake Paul who has been in real fight and is very active. Let's not expect too much or get so hype, just enjoy,  besides, it will not cost us much to watch this fight.

There's still plenty of time to promote the fight, but the world knows it's Mike Tyson so they'll watch especially that it's broadcast in Netflix where membership is not expensive unlike paying a PPV subsciption.

I hope other fights will also consider partnering with Netflix, that way more people would be able to watch and I think they can still make a lot of money considering Netflix has "260.28 million subscribers" ^source(https://backlinko.com/netflix-users)
