Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Sanctioned As A Professional Fight

The glove size might be Paul's sneaky way to protect himself.

Agreed! After Paul saw some of Tyson's mitt & pad workouts, he probably shat himself and called for the 14oz pillows, "To protect the elderly guy".

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.

Evander Holyfield was just barely getting touched by Vitor Belfort and he was flying all over the ring. The age factor is definitely no joke. I think Tyson may get badly hurt.

Exactly, however all of this is probably meant to elicit some morbid interest in the "fight", which might end in being a farce instead. So my concern is probably unjustified after all...

Professionals wear 8 oz or 10 oz gloves, and fight three minutes rounds, unless they are women..

This is simply a marketing ploy.

They'll renege after the fight, like they did with Holyfield when he fought in his mid 50's..

What a crock of s h i t , if it's going to be a real fight , then it should be a real fight in all respects.

Relax, its just a show and no one is going to get seriously hurt.

Ok so technically Tyson is officially coming out of retirement just to fight Jakie boy then?....Gotcha.

[Cyborg Fangerloo]

Roy successfully held Tyson the whole fight. Jake Paul held Tommy Fury like crazy. You think Paul is more scared of Fury or Tyson? Don't expect fireworks in this fight!!!!!!!

[Arthur Daley]

In fairness Tyson fought much worse when he first turned pro coming through the ranks.

Tyson is in far better shape and has taken 1000000 times less punishment in his career than holyfield did.
Look at the way tyson trains and still spars with youngsters in comparison to holyfield. Holyfield is way more battle worn and damaged than tyson.

That being said, here’s what i’d like:

I want Tyson to come out looking sharp as **** and in the end of round 1, he does to paul what he did to Spinks in 1988. Then all of tyson’s haters on ************* (they seem to have found this thread, well one specific guy at least).

But, with his advanced age, and paul’s youth, i think it will drag on as a sparring session and tyson will gas out. I just want tyson’s last ring to be a good one. Not like the ending he had against McBride. I thought roy would’ve settled it but it seems like it didn’t.
