If he didn’t then he bloody well should have. It made him (and boxing) look ridiculous.Do you really think Tyson took that seriously?
I don't know how these fights come about or who sanctions these really old fighters, but I do think if Mike goes in there with genuinely bad intentions, Paul could get seriously hurt.People worried about Tyson
Did you not watch 55 year old Tyson systematically take apart Roy Jones Jr and look absolutely Rapid in his movement?
Come on now.......
I don't know how these fights come about or who sanctions these really old fighters, but I do think if Mike goes in there with genuinely bad intentions, Paul could get seriously hurt.
Tyson still hits the pads sweetly and his drills are still smooth; he's probably good for 2-3 rounds at maximum output, but if he shells up and peek-a-boos looking to time Paul, that power and explosivity is still there with enough degree to really do some damage to the uninitiated for a lot longer than a few rounds.
Just a bizarre freakshow of an event where, if Tyson does look like an old man and does so happen to get hurt, questions have to be asked of how this ever got commissioned. Equally, if Paul is left twitching after a clean counter hook, you'd have to ask whose bright idea was that?
Is Paul also going to run his mouth in the build up to this?
So many questions. Ridiculous that this could get the OK, and shame on those paying to watch it, too.
Paul is extremely risk averse; always having some kind of advantage that has him make the fight in the first place, but gambling on relative youth against a legitimately devastating ex-world heavyweight champion who still has bursts of freakish power and movement as well as the tactical smarts and style to maximise what he has left is really veering into potentially really bad consequence territory.The thing is, Tyson is not the kind of person who walks into an agreed exhibition bout and boxes like an exhibition bout. He had maximum respect for Jones Jr and still leveled him with relentless body shots and stiff hooks. Roy looked to be happy he survived that. If Paul starts talking, Tyson's going to go into this semi-serious at the least, and if he puts in even 1/2 of the training intensity he put in prior to Jones Jr, then Paul is going to be lucky to survive a few rounds.
It’s on Netflix, in a 100,000 seater stadium?Surely it's an exhibition bout and won't be an official match

Tyson is getting a lot of money for it too.
There are people even trying to big Jake Paul up to win this legitimately.
The bigger the buildup and billing, the more serious it’ll get.
I know. I just fancy AJ to approach him a bit like the second Ruiz fight and just jab away from the outside and stay the feck away from him. How heavy is AJ?Surprised to see Ngannou drift out from 4 to 4.6, Ngannou pts at 28 looks tasty.

18 stone….thats not really very light for AJ. Doesn’t sound like a ‘mobile’ weight. Maybe Francis will knock him out252

N’Gannou will rag doll him in the clinch; stronger, heavier and an actual MMA base. They’re both lethal with uppercuts, but I would favour N’Gannou for dirty boxing.18 stone….thats not really very light for AJ. Doesn’t sound like a ‘mobile’ weight. Maybe Francis will knock him out
Yeah I think that but I also think AJ doesn’t move well at his heavier weights, he’s ponderous and gets knackered easily.N’Gannou will rag doll him in the clinch; stronger, heavier and an actual MMA base. They’re both lethal with uppercuts, but I would favour N’Gannou for dirty boxing.
Think it’s really about stamina and how much each has in the tan, imo. If Joshua tires, I think this’ll go very badly for him. He needs to output solidly fighting long whilst not absorbing anything to the body. The heavier, stronger man leaning on him would be so draining and he needs to avoid that at all costs.

I would actually be a bit of a fitting end to AJs career if he was knocked out cold by an MMA fighter.
It about to startWhy is it only a 10-round fight?
11pm at very earliest. 2nd from last fight has only just started and it's 20mins behind schedule.What time do we reckon it starts at I’m seeing some say 11pm Irish/uk and others say 10pm

This height difference is crazy
What you’d expect, cautious Joshua winning.
