All this buzz Paul vs Tyson. How do people watch fake crap like this and think it might be real? Do we not care anymore?

If it is fake, I hope Iron Mike has an epiphany in the fight to not tarnish his legacy anymore, and then go off script and shut this guy and his brother up. I really hate this day and age of the "influencer!" Now get off my lawn!

Was thinking about an old George Foreman. He was still very heavy handed and could blast guys with one good punch.

I guess we will see but I don't expect much more than a sparring session with pillow gloves..

If Tyson can hit him - if jake isn't fast enough to block or get out of the way - jake will be in trouble.

I used to be an avid boxing fan - but it is a shadow of what it used to be and I don't follow it very closely anymore. As such, I really don't know much about this jake guy. But I do know that tyson generated more punching power than anyone I had ever seen before. Foreman had power but it was generated by him almost punching down on opponents with those heavy, heavy hands, not as much generating it from his toes to the gloves. And as someone else mentioned power is the last thing to go. I don't like looking at this jake guy, he looks like a douche, and I hope the old fella dispatches him with a devastating liver shot.

They're wearing 14oz gloves instead of traditional 10oz gloves. The kid is lucky that Tyson agreed to this because that extra 4oz of padding will soften the blows, but even then, Tyson has so much power that all he needs is to catch him once, and then it's good night!

Watching Tyson spar, damn. He sure doesn't look like a 58-year-old in that ring. Fast, pretty damn cut still etc.

The payday they get isn't usually fake. I see this as a no lose deal for Tyson. If Jake wins it is because the younger guy is supposed to win so he has the most to lose. If Tyson wins it sets him up for an even bigger payday.

I think it's safe to say that Iron Mike Tyson and Me3 have different views on "LEGACY". 😂
