Official Tyson vs Paul Fight Night Thread

Searched and didn’t see one. If there is, please bump it and this one can die.

My position on this fight is that if Tyson can get it done within 2 rounds it’s his. If not, Paul will win. Tyson’s chance is being an animal for as long as his body allows him to be. I’m guessing 2-3 rounds tops.

Hope Tyson pulls it off!! He certainly looks to have the crazy back in his eyes in interviews these past couple days. War iron Mike!

We are about to start the drive from Montreal to Toronto which has been flooded by Swifties.

We are staying right in front of the Rogers Center too, not looking forward to 5.5 hours driving + another 2 hours stuck on what would normally be a 5 minute drive.

My measure of success is making it to the Tyson fight.

You should have no trouble. Just avoid the Gardner and the DVP if you can help it. The downtown core near the gardener will definitely be a mess.

Just reread your post- yeah- those last couple kms are going to suck, no two ways about it

Consequently, I don’t expect Mike Tyson to win at all. The proverbial puncher’s chance will always exist, but the drastically more likely outcome is that Jake Paul — 27 years old, five years into boxing full time, and training with the Olympic team — fells Tyson with the first punch that hits him upside of the head. The next most likely outcome is that Tyson’s body fails him after a round, and his lungs and cardiovascular system fail beneath all that muscle mass.

Put simply, the most likely outcomes are ugly ones, and a whole lot of casual fans are in for a shock. All across the web, I see tweets and posts from those outside the combat sports sphere fully expecting a Mike Tyson KO. My own father — who has watched most UFC events with me for over a decade now and WHO KNOWS BETTER! — texted me to say that if Jake Paul wins, the whole thing is fixed. Even the betting odds are weirdly close, a sign that many have been suckered into betting on the older man.

That’s how powerful Mike Tyson’s legend is even after 20 years away from the ring. He’s more of an influencer than boxer at this point, but the public just hasn’t realized it yet, and Tyson is about to earn a monster payday as a result.

The obvious downsides of the Tyson legend are the potential consequences for the man himself. Mike Tyson is 58 years old, and 58 year olds do not belong in the ring getting hit by young and powerful punchers. Unlike in MMA, where weight cutting is more dangerous than competing, boxers die all the time. Definitive numbers are hard to track down, but from Wikipedia alone, there have been two boxer deaths this year alone.

Even without being so morbid, Tyson suffered a life-threatening ulcer less than six months ago that delayed the fight once. He is putting his health at serious risk by walking into the ring again. Numerous fellow boxers have spoken out against the match up on grounds of health concerns, but it’s happening anyway because it’s the biggest spectacle of the year.

Tyson is a grown man who can make his own choices, but maybe if the public wasn’t so fooled, the money wouldn’t be so huge, and he wouldn’t be so tempted to take the risk.

I relate to this 100%. Some guys I worked with were so sure Tyson will win it blew me away. I tried getting it into their heads that he’s closer to being a senior citizen than a pro athlete and that Jake is actually a pretty good boxer l, but they didn’t want to hear it. It was an odd experience. Like grown men believing in Santa Clause. And I know that if Jake wins they will believe the whole thing was rigged

These delusional people are why the betting odds are so close and I’m grateful for that.

So what, tune in 2 hours after start time to avoid the bs bouts?

I think Frank Shamrock might be involved in the event somehow. He posted on IG about making the trip. He had to cancel his weekly Boxing in the Park event. If you live around Frank you can go hang out with him and practice boxing with him for free. Pretty cool of him imo.

I just saw that this is free on Netflix. Therefore IN.
