Are you really good enough ?

Unread post by Portsmouth »

It's Mike Tyson v famous you tuber and boxer Jake Paul
Hope that Tyson doesn't come unstuck in the first round against a much younger and very strong boxer.
Despite his training, I think Tyson's age will go against him if it goes on to the full 8 rounds.
It would be exciting to see Tyson knock out Paul in round 1 but I can't see it happening.
Anyone got any thoughts about this fight on Saturday ?

I didn’t know it was on Portsmouth… but I doubt that it will go the distance. I have just checked the odds with Paul being favourite to win, that being said, like you, I wouldn’t be surprised if Tyson connects with one good punch and it’ll all over by the first round. If Tyson doesn’t take Paul down by the second round, then the pendulum swings the other way round.

Hi Portsmouth, I didn’t realise how old Mike Tyson is (58) I think it might be a big ask against a 27-year-old?

Considering Tyson will be getting £15 million for what amounts to a few minutes workout, a bruised eye and possible concussion then I’m available for the winner’s next fight.

I was going to watch the fight but it’s not being screened until 4am tomorrow so I’ll have to catch a recording...it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.

I think the fight is live on Netflix only ( which I don't have )
If Tyson was 20 years younger I think he would win easily........ but the speed, strength and power has probably lessened by now
Jake Paul can punch hard as well.....I did read somewhere, that for Tyson it isn't about the money
I hope Mike shows the world he is still a great boxer.

Bit of a non-event by all accounts…just pleased that I didn’t sett the alarm to watch it.
