Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson - who's going to win?

Simple poll. Fight is this Fri 8pm ET on Netflix.

I'm rooting for Iron Mike just because I'd like to see someone shut down Paul. But know the odds are against Tyson.

Quote:
Their fight on Friday will be contested with two-minute rounds and with 14-ounce gloves. Heavyweight boxing matches are regularly contested at three-minute rounds with 10-ounce gloves.
Quote:
Boxing industry experts have estimated Tyson could make somewhere in the range of $20 million at various times since the event was announced last March. Jimmy Kimmel, when Tyson was a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on ABC last month, alluded to the alleged price tag while speaking to the former heavyweight champion.
:
About the only unofficial clue about the fight's purse came from Paul at an Aug. 18 news conference promoting the fight.

"I'm here to make $40 million and knock out a legend," he said.

Of course I would love to see Tyson win, but he's just very old. Paul will work the body and wear him down.

I hate that this is going to be the biggest boxing event of the year.

Is this even going to happen? I hear they're investigating Tyson's health. But I'm too lazy and don't care enough to actually google information.

Yes, per my googling today.

This is the biggest Netflix cash grab until............the two NFL games on Xmas.

Trash, trash and more fixed trash. Will not watch or gamble on such things as Jerry Springer events. Says quite a bit considering my annual action is seven figures easily.


Fraud Paul by KO putting a 20m price on Iron Mikes legacy. Shame.

My kids are excited. And we're gonna watch.

But I want to explain to them that this isn't really boxing.

It'd be like your kids' first basketball game being the Harlem Globetrotters.

Shouldn't have been sanctioned. But money wins in the end in all things.

Rooting for you Mikey. Shock the world.

Show them what a Gen X can do!

(BTW, don't have sex before the fight)

Paul should win but the only other boxer Paul fought, he lost to and it's not like Tommy Fury is much more than an semi-professional fighter. So Tyson still likely comes at him with more skill, speed, and power than Paul has seen in the ring so far. He cries about not being taken seriously as a fighter and continues to schedule circus act fights.

Dear Mike. Please just wear normal boxing shorts. Or Patriotic Undies. Your choice.

I think I agree with the "I hope they both lose" sentiment. Hard to root for a rapist or a social media influencer.

On the other hand, it would be somewhat satisfying to see Tyson floor him with one good punch.
