Tyson was gassed in his scripted exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. He got knocked out and threw in the towel against journeymen in his last two professional fights. That was 20 years ago.
I saw it differently. I saw Tyson deliberately taking his foot off the gas against Jones, and he could have easily KO'd him if he wanted to. In any event, he looks to be in really good shape for this fight. How will it play out tonight? I cannot wait to see!
He could have KO’d him for sure. Jones was in worse shape and Tyson didn’t go for the head.
This. Good lord, Tyson could have done a lot of damage. Jones was slow and doughy. It must really suck to take your foot off the gas when every instinct you have is to hit those open spots.
I don't think this goes long enough - in either direction - for anyone to get tired.
So 2 minute rounds favors Tyson, and 14 inch gloves favors Paul, correct?
his answer was 100 in the grand scheme of time. we are specs of time. In fifty years no one will be talking about Tyson. and he wont be alive to care. haha.
Could be having tragically lost his daughter as well being part of it. He has studied philosophy and I find his answer kind of haunting considering his daughter.
Not only did he not go for the head, he was soft on his body shots. A few combo body shots and those hands come down leaving his head exposed, it would have been good night for Jones, especially with the shape he was in.
That was brutal. I never knew he had a daughter that died. Looks like she was accidentally choked by a power cord for exercise equipment.
Good thing that he's not fighting a competitive heavyweight boxer. He's fighting a YouTube influencer. Tyson's been a boxer for what, 45 years? Paul picked it up a few years ago because he thought it looked cool, and he's fought some hobos and wrestlers.
Tyson will run out of gas in the 2nd after that he'll stumble around, get semi knocked down/fall until the fight is stopped in the 4th. I hate Jake Paul and would love to see Tysin KO him but Mikes a 58 year old with frail lower legs, and a very damaged body and brain. He's not beating a strong in shape 28 year old unless he catches him in the first 90 seconds.
Wow. I had never seen that punch from Shavers. Dude hit like a truck apparently.
I hadn't listened to Tyson for a while.....when did his balls finally drop?
I don’t know boxing.
Reportedly, Tyson will make $20 million on this fight and Paul will make $40 million.
Holmes Shavers II became a war. Holmes was cutting him to pieces and Shavers had to do something. Shavers had the shoulder in and whole body behind that right hand. Holmes hit the mat like a sack of potatoes and that is when the real fight started.
What about the Dustin Diamond-Ron Palillo bout on celebrity boxing? That was a fight for the ages.
