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

[Webetcoins]

This still doesn't feel right to me. I understand that Mike Tyson is Mike Tyson and he will of course try his very best, but that dude is so old and he doesn't look that healthy, I mean the fact that he shouldn't be punched anymore is the point here, what if Mike Tyson wins or loses but ends up with an injury here?

What if just this fight alone, could end up cutting his life short or just makes it less healthy? What are we going to do about that? I believe that has to be something that could turn things sour very quickly. I hope that it's worth it, because they are putting his entire life in danger here, a very very old dude is still old no matter if they are Mike Tyson or not, and one mistake could lead to terrible life.

while I somewhat agree with you that this fight should never have happened, there's really nothing we can do to stop it. at least, it's an exhibition match, so a lot of rules will be implemented to avoid serious injuries. if you watch the exhibition matches of Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul or Manny Pacquiao vs DK Yoo you'll see how the fighters try to refrain from punching with their full power. while there is still concern about injuries, I don't think it will be serious enough that it will cut someone's life short or affect their health a lot in a negative way. also, I'm pretty sure Mike Tyson knows the risk he is taking.

Yes, this fight is very dangerous for Mike Tyson, because he is already 58 years old. Meanwhile, Jake Paul is still 27 years old or in his golden age. Because of this age difference, many people are worried about Mike Tyson. At the age of 58, Mike Tyson has lost his strength and agility in fighting and Mike Tyson will suffer potentially fatal injuries.

It would be an exhibition fight and pretty sure that the power would be used wont really be at their 100% on which its understandable on whats stake on here. Just like on any other exhibition fights on which you could really be able to see that they would really be having that kind of hesitation when giving their full power punches. Yes, its true that Mike is old and they've been aware of that, this is why its called exhibition on the first place on which they cant or shouldnt be serious.

There's no problem with them fighting in a showy way, the problem in my opinion is that they're selling it as if it were really something serious. But it will just be friends exchanging punches, nothing big.

Fans are divided in response to this duel. Some thought the fight was too forced and quite a few were worried about the safety of Tyson, who is 58 years old. However, Tyson still ignored the criticism that emerged and said they were just jealous of the payment he received from the fight.

Tyson and Paul's fight is claimed to be the biggest and most controversial duel. However, the fight is still labeled an exhibition.

If that came from Tyson's mouth, we should trust him and be confident that he'll give a good fight. Despite his age, he still believe that he is a conditioned man and with proper training, who knows he might beat Jake Paul here and we might witness a rematch which I'm sure will attract better attention than this current upcoming fight.

But we should not forget it's just an exhibition fight, they can play the script they want and that's sure is based on what people are expecting, play our minds, they sell the fight and they make money, that's how business are done.

[bitterguy28]

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?

I will not be surprised if Mike beats jake here remember that this man is not aging its only the number that reflect about age but the power and skills are still there.
How i wish that this is not an exhibition bout but a real match .
Wondering how much is at stake for the both boxer for this one?
there are still 3 months for preparation , so still plenty of time to wait for the result lol.

Money talks and I'm guessing the payday from Netflix was far too good for Tyson to turn down, even with the risks. Also, I'm not 100% sure if this will be a proper fight and more of an exhibition like Tyson's last fight against Roy Jones Jnr where they must have had a no head shot rule as it was basically just body shots only. If it is an exhibition then I hope that doesn't mean it's just a glorified sparring match, which may be the best for Tyson but does anybody really wanna see both of them hugging and dancing around a ring?

I agree that there won't be any serious type of "fight" going on, we will see the fight cut short if anything even remotely serious ends up for any of the fighters, but mine is more like unexpected punches type of thing. While we know that Mike Tyson packs a punch, meaning he could punch just once, a proper hit, like connects right to the chin, and Jake would be out cold, but I believe Jake would recover from that easily.

However, considering his age, I fear that if Jake gets lucky, not something that's easily possibly, I mean like lets assume he gets purely lucky, and punches right on the chin, Mike could have something that ruins rest of his life, just one bad punch and suddenly it's very dangerous for Mike Tyson. That's what I fear, that one punch.

If there is anyone with one punch that could alter someone's life it was, is and always will be Mike's lol.  He is a differemt person in the ring.  Obviously at his age he can't go tons of rounds but if I was Paul I wouldn't go anywhere near Mike in the first couple minutes.  Exhibition or not Mike is a killer once inside those ropes.

Getting knocked out cold with a single punch isn’t as bad as taking a prolonged beating. It’s when a fighter takes sustained punishment for many rounds that we see them go into a coma and sometimes passing away or being severely impaired for the rest of their life. I don’t think this fight will reach the point where that happens, but it’s still completely irresponsible to be risking someone’s health in such an unnecessary money grab.

Really? So you say that getting bruises, broken ribs and pain next day is less harmful, then when due to knockout, less amount of blood is pumped into the brain as well as brain gets less oxygen. Bruises can heal, ribs can grow together, pain can be killed by pills or ointment, but after a knockout you can wake up a completely "different" person. I would prefer to get body or block shots, and my corner to throw a towel, than spend rest of life in a wheelchair like a vegetable.

Prolonged beating and getting knocked out both have an effect to the body especially in the head part. It doesn't matter what but from these two you may get concussion or brain injury and the worst part is it may affect your life in your later years in life but it still depends on the person and not exactly the same for each. Just like Muhammad Ali which got parkinson's disease while Mike Tyson is still here and still a beast. Anyway, I hope nothing serious (injury) will happen on both Tyson and Jake Paul in their upcoming match.

That's how important for Tyson not to make this fight to last for many rounds since for sure he might not capable to last for more rounds. Age is huge factor will play crucially on this match up and we know that Paul is so young which can able to last for long round.

That's Paul's advantage so for sure Tysons camp is considering that so they need to get an early finish or they might be in trouble and get defeated by a Youtuber. I know Tyson still capable with that since he's still have finishing power so hopefully we can see him doing good after their match and he will not receive any big damage that could possibly put him on physical troubles.

Then I did not get what is "prolonged beating". I understood from FinneysTrueVision post, that from his point, single a knocking out punch is less harmful, then 20-40 punches on a body or block (not mentioning head, as I doubt someone would still stand if he gets 20-40 jabs from heavyweight). Which is wrong. Even 1 punch to the head is harmful. A punch that knockout is many times dangerous, because brain gets such a damage, that switches off whole body and goes restart. Even doctors dont allow a person who was knocked out to even continue training for many days, while a person after body punches can go to gym and at least do stretching.

That's remain to be seen, if the fight is rigged or not. As boxing fans, we do hope that is not the case because it will really hurt Tyson's legacy. He should at least not let Jake Paul beat him and beat him bad in this fight. He has been training very hard as what we have seen in the videos already, so for me I doubt that the fight has been set up from the beginning. But as reported, with $20 million on the line, we don't know, maybe there could be some "gentleman's agreement" between the two. They have captured the fans right now, and even if Jake Paul is the favorite, there are still some of us here hoping that Tyson will show sharp and vicious as ever and then knock out Jake Paul for good.

It's rigged to have a DRAW. The rules say so and the people know it is an exhibition fight. If the rules say their gloves are as big as the sparring gloves and they need to KO each other to win the fight, that's got to be something we consider a hint.

This is an exhibition fight and for the audience to fully appreciate them all, the audience has to see 12 rounds of action so their pay is worth it.
If there is a gentileman agreement for this $20M, I think it will just be 60-40 or maybe 70-30 so whose who and just shake hands if he gets the 30. No loss.

Your concerns are legitimate, however boxers go through a natural process in which those that cannot take a hit, drop out of the sport as they simply do not have what is necessary to succeed.

Mike has proven he had everything to succeed, so despite his old age his resistance towards that kind of punishment not only should be very high, but I even think it should be even higher than what Jake Paul could endure despite the difference between their ages.
