I don't think Jake Paul takes any fights that he might lose whether its due to careful selection of opponents or pre-arrangement.

are you saying……no, that couldn’t be! This kind of stuff has to be on the up and up, like the old wrestlers who would go under the ring before coming out all bloody.

 

I still text Bills stuff with a buddy I met in 4th grade and he SWORE the wrestling was all real. How people become so blind to such obvious stuff  kinda fascinates me.  

 

EDIT: I’m not saying whatever is going to happen is fake, but is there a shadier form of entertainment than this? It’s not exactly as far fetched as NFL games being rigged because they want certain outcomes.

I don't think this is a real fight.  I don't think any of Jake Paul's fights have been real fights.  I consider this a sideshow similar to McGregor v Mayweather.  Maybe this one doesn't end up with a YouTuber knocking out a retired has been and both participants in this farce get to look good.  Perhaps a controversial decision.  That would certainly set up well for a 3 fight series.

This is the only scenario that I can see Mike Tyson winning this fight.  If the outcome is pre-determined with the idea of having a rematch.  Jake Paul has stated in interviews that he is making 8 figures just off this fight alone.  I would imagine Tyson is also being paid a lesser but large sum of money.  I’m sure it would benefit everyone involved financially if this fight was a draw or a controversial decision.  Based on pure boxing ability and endurance, Jake Paul should wipe the floor with Iron Mike.  While not “championship caliber” boxers, Jake did perform very well against both Tommy Fury and Nate Diaz.  He’s no push over at all.

Looking at Tyson yesterday, dude is jacked and the lion on his face was fierce.

 

Its a real match and he will win decisively.

For as much as a beast he was I don't think he ever got enough credit for how technically sound and smart he was in a ring.

He had a preternatural ability to diagnose opponents, pick up tells and know exactly where the holes were going to be and when they'd be there.

You don't wreck that many people with 6" punches without being in position to know exactly when to uncork them.

I'm doubtful he can generate enough power and speed at this age to put down a kid that size, but the guy is a freak and you never know.

I'm guessing he gets pissed after being peppered for a few rounds and starts viciously headbutting him shortly before it all devolves into chaos.

I thought for sure this belonged in "A Quick Laugh to Get By" thread.

His loss was against Tyson Fury's half brother, who was and still is undefeated.

So I skipped ahead. Is there any idea when might be a decent time to tune in? 

 

Better yet, will anyone be good enough to update us???

Sadly the main event probably won't start until around midnight.  I really don't have much interest in the undercard at all.  Looking forward to the gathering and the pizza and wings just hoping I can stay awake until the Tyson fight starts

For nostalgia, for the generation that knows toughness and not clowns on social media, for overall legacy - I want iron Mike to go in there humbly to see the machine then turn on and eat this guy's face right off. Scalp him. Mame him.

Power is the last to leave, quickness and his chin thats another thing. Paul is an idiot but he does pack a punch, really want to seem his clock cleaned while understanding he makes more money with everyone feel that way lol

What was the quote?  I'm watching something more interesting. A show on WWII naval battles.

“Where else would you rather be than right here, right now” …I guess at home watching WWII documentaries will suffice

These next two fights are actually legit.  Should be entertaining.
