[Boxing profanation] Jake Paul Vs Mike Tyson - 15th November

[pawel7777]

I'm not really talking about Jake's fans but the rest of the world and other boxing fans. Jake's fans are a drop in the ocean compared to the boxing fraternity and fans. Tyson is one of the GOATs and is beloved by boxing fans so nobody wants to see him get hurt. Quite a lot of boxers have been quite vocal about what they think of the fight and are worried about Tyson getting hurt.

Yeah, but the real boxing fans are not really the ones buying tickets/PPV for Jake Paul's fights (maybe this fight will be slightly different given Mike's status), it's the casual people who got dragged in by the internet hype + Paul's and his opponents' followers.
Getting more hate from boxing community will not hurt Paul, if anything, it'll be good for him. No such thing as bad publicity as they say. The only thing that could really hurt him is lack of interest and people just stop caring about him. But that won't be the case if he wins with Mike. If that happens, the natural reaction would be wanting to see Jake getting beaten up by someone capable - meaning more fuel for Jake's hype train.

I know he’s old but I really hope Mike Tyson wins this. I know the Paul brothers are great content creators, they are money making machines but they irritate me. They are not boxers, they are making a mockery of the sport.

So yeah, I am fully on the Tyson train. Hopefully he knocks Paul out.

I'm with you.  I think the age difference might be insurmountable and I actually like Jake Paul, but I tossed my money on Mike Tyson.  Honestly, I wouldn't even care who Tyson was fighting or how old he was.  I can't bet against him with what I've seen him do in the past.  Even if the guy only has 20 seconds of fight left in him, that should be enough.  Realistically, Jake Paul should easily win this fight.  I would have to burn my money if I won it betting against Tyson though.  I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for Tyson tomorrow night.  I want to see him go out with a KO victory.

Beating Tyson will give further boost on his confidence level to fight more popular boxers and it will surely increase his bankability in this sports. But I don't think he will be arrogant to ask for an exhibition match from the level of Pacquiao. He's not there yet. And Pacquiao has still a lot of strength to easily beat Paul inside the arena.

Look at the numbers involved, definitely, Tyson is also up for the million-dollar payout here. So if Paul wins, he will increase his net worth significantly. Most of professional boxers haven't reached that level yet. Lucky for him though.

I broke down and got Netflix last night as the fight is just too interesting to me to miss. While I still feel it's a fixed match, I do hope they beat the snot out of each other a little and make it entertaining for all the fans no matter who they are rooting for. I'd really like to see Tyson win here, but I don't know if the contract allows for it to happen.

He had gotten a lot of hate already, when they started this whole exhibition fight during the pandemic, so I didn't think that he will be affected. Imagine the money that he is getting here, that could be the driving force behind Jake still continuing this kind of matches, and before we forget he had a company already also behind this promotion.

So he is really looking to win here, and for sure he wanted to beat the legend himself and obviously if he did then his stack will continue to go up and we don't know who is he fighting next for another biggest paycheck for him.

Mike Tyson slapping Jake Paul at the final face off seemed a little manufactured. If not, that weak slap doesn’t look good for Tyson’s odds tomorrow. I now question if the fight tomorrow will be staged to some extent or if Tyson is really just too old. I really hope he surprises me and knocks Jake Paul out, but I think his age and health might be too much to overcome.

I’m guessing it’s a staged fight, and Jake Paul will most likely take the win. It’s like picking the more profitable product, while Tyson is a big name, he doesn’t have long-term profitability compared to Jake Paul. Paul has bigger fights lined up, and a win tomorrow would boost his value even more. I’m curious how much Mike is making for this fight; it’s probably big enough for him to agree to take the loss and let Paul’s career soar.

Yes, that was a weak slap from Mike Tyson to Jake Paul, and tomorrow is a fight between the old and the young that I think Mike Tyson still has the strength to fight. Indeed Mike Tyson is very old but I think he still has the strength that might be able to beat Jake Paul, and Mike Tyson was one of my idol boxers at that time because I always watched Mike Tyson's fights with my father at that time, and I was only interested in seeing Tyson as nostalgia when I was a teenager seeing my idol. And I hope that Tyson's grandfather's punch can beat Jake Paul and make him fall and be unconscious.

[bbc.reporter]

There are some boxing analysts similar to Teddy Atlas that have expressed their speculations on social media that this old Mike Tyson can knockout Jake Paul in the first 2 rounds. I am very much wishing we can witness this because Jake Paul has become very annoying. His face is annoying, his personality is annoying, he is completely very annoying.

In all of everyone's honesty, do you want the old former champion to have the victory or this very annoying young  man with the annoying face?

I believe that most of the fans will be on the side of Mike Tyson and he deserved that, because Mike Tyson is a real phenomenon that turned the boxing world upside down and probably still the most famous boxer of our time and I want some of the glory to return to him now.
Mike Tyson has become a very modest man, ironically enough assessing himself and causing sincere sympathy, and unlike Jake Paul, but still even rooting for Mike Tyson, we must realize that it is Jake Paul who will allow Mike to earn 20 million now and maybe if everything goes well some more money in the future.
Nevertheless, we should really evaluate the chances and recognize that Jake Paul is not a bad boxer and considering Mike's age, the chances of Jake Paul are higher. I think the chances of Jake Paul winning are 70/30 if you evaluate everything without emotions.

I guess that slap is part of the show, to hype people towards this intense happening during weigh in. We don't see Paul response on what Tyson do so provably he know that Tyson would do that since this is part of their script.

But its undeniable that people will be on Tyson side in this bout since we lot of people know that Tyson is more experience than Paul. So I think also this exhibition fight will also be in favor with the Legend. Even though many people know that they maybe cannot see a intense fight between this bout  but still its amazing to see a Mike Tyson step on boxing ring again. I guess this is what his fans look forward to him and winning against Paul is just a big bonus to them.

Not sure what to make about it, could be just part of their plan to sell the fight. We all know that it's their final face-off so they will have to make a lot of fuzz on it.

So it's possible that it is scripted, you seen Jake's reaction and it seems that he is ok. Although Mike really looks in shape, but I do not think that it will be enough for him to win the fight.

[Synchronice]

I'm with you.  I think the age difference might be insurmountable and I actually like Jake Paul, but I tossed my money on Mike Tyson.  Honestly, I wouldn't even care who Tyson was fighting or how old he was.  I can't bet against him with what I've seen him do in the past.  Even if the guy only has 20 seconds of fight left in him, that should be enough.  Realistically, Jake Paul should easily win this fight.  I would have to burn my money if I won it betting against Tyson though.  I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for Tyson tomorrow night.  I want to see him go out with a KO victory.

From your post, I understand that you are a huge Mike Tyson fan. Mike is doing this fight for money, Jake is doing this fight for fame, I think that the outcome of the fight is already decided but I wouldn't bet against Mike Tyson too.

Did anyone watch Jake Paul's instagram reels? Seriously, what the hell are he and Mike Tyson doing? Kissing each other on lips? Why did they do that? Also, I today watched their weigh in and does anyone know why Mike Tyson punched him in the face? Was this staged? To be honest, I think that Mike Tyson is not doing mentally well and doesn't act like a normal human.
By the way, the match will start in hour and half, right? This is the case when I don't make a bet, I'll just watch whatever show we've got to watch. My heart tells me that Mike Tyson wins but my brain tells me that this fight is staged and Jake Paul wins (there is also a chance that fight is not staged and Jake Paul wins naturally).

It's only for the hype, and to add something to increase the hype, even his brother, Logal Paul tweeted something on X regarding the slap.

My brother got slapped by Mike Tyson, fucking iconic... but a grave error

This fight just became personal for Jake

Tomorrow’s outcome will be utter devastation for Mike; the new face of boxing will be crowned tomorrow
@jakepaul

As if we don't know that it's for the hype and they will do everything just for the fight to be hyped. Remember the McGregor-Mayweather fight? They've been throwing trashtalks here and there the whole time and that's what the fans wanted. Trashtalks between 2 fighters is what the fans made them excited to watch the fight. It's nothing different with this one, but this time, it's through slap.

Let's take note that these 2 acted like friends or at least it's a bit wholesome in their first face-off before Tyson got injured, so I don't know why suddenly, Tyson will come back with a vicious slap to Paul's face. I mean it doesn't make sense at all, and I'm not buying it.

I'm with you.  I think the age difference might be insurmountable and I actually like Jake Paul, but I tossed my money on Mike Tyson.  Honestly, I wouldn't even care who Tyson was fighting or how old he was.  I can't bet against him with what I've seen him do in the past.  Even if the guy only has 20 seconds of fight left in him, that should be enough.  Realistically, Jake Paul should easily win this fight.  I would have to burn my money if I won it betting against Tyson though.  I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for Tyson tomorrow night.  I want to see him go out with a KO victory.

A solid Tyson fan.
Let's see how this one will end, but I'll be going with Paul on this one.

He’s fine, and it’s all part of the show to get people talking - and they nailed it because here we are discussing it! Usually, the cockier one during the faceoff ends up losing the fight, so I think Jake Paul’s plan is to tire Mike out tomorrow and secure an easy win. But is it still the same rule as announced before? No KO, no winner, right? If that’s the case, I’m rooting for Jake Paul to knock out Mike to win the fight.

At the end of the anticipated fight, I can deduce that the fight will not be staged as Jake Paul would win naturally. I don't know whether Mike Tyson forgets so easily that a boxing fight requires natural energy and stamina, as Mike Tyson has lost both. Someone can beat the process of every other thing, but when old age comes, it's hard to beat that, to think that your physical strength and endurance will be the same as compared with a young vibrant man full of energy.

Its just part of their plan to sell the fight. Since people would get curious about that incident happen and it fuel up the interest of many people following this match to happen to watch their match.

For me its scripted since you can look at the face of Paul after that incident happen. Seems like he's fine after the slap. If its true and the intention is to hurt for sure there would be more force apply and Paul would provably heavily feel that.

Mike is in shape he practice for long months for this fight.

Also see the difference between their last practice

For Paul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA_FgO815go

Tyson seems scary and still have power.

All I can say is that practice is way different from the actual fight, so I’m not getting hyped no matter how good he looks in training. What I know is Mike Tyson is already old and doesn’t have the same power he had in his prime, while Jake Paul is younger and has knockout power.

With that, I’d go with the stats, and let’s not ignore the betting odds. Bookies made Paul the favorite for a reason, so I’m leaning toward him for the win.

The latest Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson odds from FanDuel list Paul as the -205 favorite (risk $205 to win $100) to win, with Tyson a +164 underdog.

In a little bit more than 2 weeks from now, on 15th November, a highly controversial fight will take place between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. It's dubbed by many to be a profanation of boxing, and it's hard to disagree.
Nevertheless, it's happening, so worth having a dedicated thread to discuss.

Most experts agree that it should be an easy win for Paul, that includes his former opponents, Ben Askren and Mike Perry:
https://talksport.com/boxing/2206286/jake-paul-ben-askren-mike-perry-mike-tyson-prediction/

But still, it's Mike Tyson, a former undisputed heavyweight champion, who despite his age (58) still knows how to throw a punch. Some training footage:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBIAwVnt_1U

The odds for Mike are currently at x3.40, so could be a good bet. All he needs to do is to successfully explode early on before he gasses out. I wouldn't be putting any serious money on that though.

We don't know yet for Paul, though he's younger enough compared with Mike it's not guaranteed that he'll will against him. The power on Mike has already a stablished record and it's really a huge history on him. That would be a plus factor regardless of his age, but this young man should strive harder to bear this legendary Mike Tyson.

[trendcoin]

Mike Tyson is old and tired but a real boxer/fighter... A real fighter is always the favorite, no matter how old he is, no matter how tired he is, no matter who he faces. If this fight is not a fixed fight, I think Mike Tyson will win... Some people say that Mike Tyson will be out of condition after the 2nd round, but this old wolf can put Jake to sleep with a punch at the right time and in the right place...
