I wouldn't give either of those leeches one dime of my money. Probably be a fixed fight anyways.

I will watch it tyson looks ripped but think cardio will be an issue if he can't hit Jones early.

It will be more interesting than anything that's happened in boxing in the past decade.

Tyson is a sham fighter and shouldn't be allowed back in the ring after facing Holyfield.

Sad too, because I absolutely loved early Iron Mike.

It's been like 2 decades, he's been out of boxing basically every since. I think the statute of limitations has passed since the Holyfield fight. And let's face it, he did that to get DQ'd on purpose because he knew he was going to lose.

He and Holyfield buried that hatchet a good while back. Tysons movement has looked outstanding. How.long he can keep that up is beyond me.

To me Jones is the best I've ever seen,but he is a shell of his former self and I don't think his chin can take a clean Tyson shot.

To be honest,this fight has no buisness happening in the first place.

When is the new fight date?

Nov 28th. I was always a Tyson fan, but these dudes are nuts. They are to old to be taking those kind of hits.
Just for charity, so who knows what we will actually get

I'm curious to see how this goes down. Supposedly there is no scoring and they are not "allowed " to go for a knockout. Either the fight will be a joke or they will say screw the rules and go at it

Jake Paul knocked Nate Robinson into next week. Robinson was totally clueless.... Total embarrassment for him

Well Paul has been training boxing for a couple years. He is only 23 and says he takes it seriously. Robinson hasn't been in the nba for a while and has only trained boxing a few months. He looked horrible. All he did was bum rush him and hold. The ref should be fined or suspended. He gave Robinson like a 20 count in round 1. He got knocked down another time in round 2 before the brutal KO.

Paul is still a little choppy. But he does have the advantage in terms of training/prep.
I’m not really fond of the youtube stars boxing exhibitions

I mean it is good money. So gotta give credit for their entrepreneur stuff.
Paul’s brother is actually challenging Mayweather now lol

A lot of people are making money off of Youtube. Just need something that attracts followers. Easy money. Those kid videos for learning and entertainment get millions of followers and some of them well over 100 million views.

And online content is the way now.
It sucks to say, guess we need to adapt or maybe people get bored and we get pre 2010 America back.
Tech truly did change a lot of society

I think his brother was calling out mayweather. His brother is 0-2 I believe........Jake said he would not watch the fight because his bro would get destroyed. Jake was calling out guys like McGregor, Dillon Dannis, Ben Askren, KSI.....Ben Askren is a MMA fighter who is basically a wrestler. He is most famous for getting brutually KOed by a masvidal flying knee. Im sure Askren trains standup, but I think this could be an interesting matchup. Dannis is one of McGregors crew dont know much about him.....McGregor would be the most talented by far out of those, but also much smaller than Paul. Paul was almost 200 and McGregor is fighting at 155 i think next.

The McGregor normal walk around weight is 180. He looks like that's gone up to around 200. Paul vs any skilled amateur boxer will get destroyed. Against a pro i doubt he gets half a round unless they just want to toy with him.

McGregor is fighting at 155 in Jan. I doubt he is anywhere near 200. He maybe around 180 - 185. He is also very short and i imagine he would look small in a ring with Jake. I think nate is 5'9 and was only a few official pounds lighter, but there was a definite size advantage for Paul. Paul definitely needs some real competition. I wouldn't mind seeing him fight some MMA guys in boxing. At least they are pro fighters

Any pro even amateur pro would whoop on the Paul bros. It would be entertaining to say the least.
I’ve looked at the highlights. Poor foot work and definitely leaves a lot of body shots open.
Put me in there. I’ll kill that liver faster than a russian vodka drink off on a Moscow holiday.

He cuts 25-30 pounds for weight in. Its water. He may weight in at 155, but he will be 165-170+ when he steps in the cage
