    This fight can only go one of two ways:

    Tyson wins, absolutely smoking this clown in round one - and I would be happy.

    It is a draw, Tyson loses, Tyson wins but it’s close or Andre the Giant emerges in round 6 and beats them both, confirming the farce this event is.

    Tyson was the most dangerous man in a boxing ring by a country mile. Even if he’s lost 80% of his peak strength, he hasn’t forgotten how to box and survive against the hardest punchers in the world.

    Anything less that a total Tyson victory is a sign it is rigged/staged more than any fight in history. I would actually have more respect for this amateur clown if he’s allowed Tyson to legit fight and Jake goes down after the first hit.

      I look at it more like this:

      Tyson wins and Paul looks bad for getting beat by an old man or Paul wins and looks bad because he beat an old man

      I’m gonna say this as someone who used to fight muay thai in my youth and who is still a lot younger than Tyson…

      You lose speed with age and not a small amount.

      Tyson looks in absolutely phenomenal shape for his age and there is no doubting his fight IQ and I really hope he wins but Paul is also in superb condition and looks strong and fit. I’m predicting a close fight, possibly with Tyson gassing. That would be my tactic if I were Paul.
