As a longtime admirer of Mike Tyson, I am seriously concerned.

It would be totally absurd that, after a life spent amidst all kinds of problems and having survived some very tough times, Tyson would suffer permanent physical damage from a piece of shìt made famous by YouTube.

Dumb; hopefully they use Winning or Grant gloves so there's a lower chance of someone getting hurt

I don’t recall the exact explanation, but I read a surgeon’s statement that the vessels in a person’s brain become thinner as they age. It was something along those lines. The point being that Tyson’s brain is much more susceptible to serious damage than when he was young. Jake Paul wouldn’t last two seconds against prime Mike; but the age difference is a real equalizer, wish is one of the reasons why this fight is drumming up interest.

Right. And in any case, I'd really hate watch Mike beaten by that idiot, even without serious physical damage. I already cringed when I saw Holyfield humiliated by Belfort, I don't want to see Tyson suffering the same fate.

But, honest, I'll be happy if - for some miracle - Tyson gets serious and knocks the shìt out of the shìt.

On a second thought, it will probably be a farce like the Tyson vs RJJ "fight".
