Sadly I see the YouTube clown winning on a decision. The age gap is just too much, plus yeah probable judge shenanigans.

Ohh what I would pay to watch that clown take on an in his prime Tyson, now THAT'S PPV-worthy.

For sure, but Paul would never take on a prime Tyson.

Definitely not. But a man can dream...
(and it's similar to Mr. Burns thinking about that crippled Irishman)

Not really, because it would be like 15 seconds long.

I saw that the fight will be on Netflix too, so safe to assume it will be free to subscribers? Netflix Canada better not screw us some how.

Each time this thing gets bumped I think of something else. Paul is tall. Tyson probably isn't going to be trying to headshot him. But Paul also knows of the legend. So he'll probably be extraordinarily conservative in not letting the one punch power happen. That means I think he'll be defensive first and not let much fly because Tyson being a trained boxer will counter in a heavy way. Paul's never been stung by a true dedicated pro. It's actually a very interesting matchup more and more to think of it. I still think it goes to decision, but this could really go either way. Paul's lucky because he has an age thing. But he's also not so lucky because new Tyson could also be strategic and wait him out to f up. If Tyson does that I think he KOs him. If Tyson comes out swinging and Paul clams up, then it's Paul's to lose.

So back-to-back hyped up fights featuring old guys.

Paul vs Senior Citizen Tyson (Friday)

Jones vs Senior Citizen Stipe (Saturday)


I hope both seniors with because both Paul & Jones are ####ing losers.

Should be the most fixed fight in recent history. Both guys getting paid though, so good for them.

Big boxing matches always seem to have a bigger appeal to me than UFC ones. Super excited for this and I'll be hosting the boys over at my place for this one. Really hoping Tyson takes it to Paul.

I really wonder what the TV numbers will be like vs a traditional PPV fight.

I think everyone just wants to see that classic power from Tyson one last time.

Just one clean direct strike and send Paul to dreamland.

Got to think it'll be much larger, no? They'll get a significant amount of people that tune in simply because they're a Netflix subscriber.

Mike looks good.

Don't even care if they are both juiced (they are). I just want to see Mike obliterate him.

Ughh sadly I can't see a 57 year old Mike Tyson winning this.

I'd pay top dollar to watch 22 year old Tyson fight this guy, because he would take his head clean off.

Tyson no matter the age should absolutely obliterate Paul. But what do I know. The world is upside down and I don't know left from right anymore.

I think Tyson will win but it won't be one of his classic domineering performances.

If the rounds were three minutes I might actually give Paul the edge but at 2 minutes per round Paul's main advantage (his youth/stamina) is lessened. He still has a height and reach advantage but that's nothing new for Tyson. At 58 I imagine his quickness and footwork have suffered but I still expect he'll eventually be able to get inside... if he can then catch Paul exposed it's over... but if Paul can adequately clinch when Tyson does get inside then I think it ends up going to Tyson on decision.
