Comments Thread For: Coach on Mike Tyson: He's better now than when he fought Roy Jones Jnr

[Lefty0616]

Mike Tyson wil be at his best only during the first two rounds. Folks forgot what became of Tyson late in his career way after his prison stint. Mike ran out of gas early, And then he'd go through the emotions and would appear stoned/ under heavy medication. The longer the fight goes, the more I favor Paul.

Look I'm just glad to see Mike climb in the ring and at his age. He is a warrior and deserves respect. Don't get caught looking Paul because he still has some speed. Raised up like a phoenix out of the ashes. Man would I love to spend the day with him.

Just off the headline,
I've a feeling Mike's in terrible 58yr old shape, my reason? the behind the scenes build up show.
When Mike was sparring we saw nothing, just his fangirl coach jumping around telling Mike everything was beautiful & perfect over & over. I'm shocked Mike didn't tell him to stfu. His coach wasn't even in the corner or on the apron, he was literally prancing around the room. Hell hopefully Mike wasn't in the room & that was shot for effect by the nf people.

There selling the hell outta this buddy lets make a bunch of loot by fooling everyone, it's for our future and families. GTFOH

Like Slappsy Maxie said "nobody gets hurt here!"

I don’t expect either man to really do much on fight night, there may be moments we’re a few glancing blows land but I feel these two have long ago agreed to not really go at each other. Tyson knocking out Paul would be bad for the Paul family brand and Paul hurting an old Tyson would be bad for Tyson’s brand. Both these guys seem to be using this to simply increase their price for pushing and promoting products. We may get an interesting first round if that. It’s Mike Tyson after all, so we don’t know if he will stick to the script if he gets tagged

Great insight, I agree with this, I do not think this is clean, the fix is probably in.

this fight should not be happening. paul is juiced to the gills, he gained like 30 pounds. his head is massive now, his head has gotten so much bigger the last few years.


i know my ideal outcome would be for tyson to ko him and NO rematch and just move on. But netflix has every incentive to milk this thing, they have a contract with Jake, they make more money if there are rematches or if Jake wins ect


tyson doesnt have reflexes and timing anymore, its gone, hes a 60 year old geriatric. Jake showed no power with Tommy furry and couldnt hurt him beside a flash knockdown because tommy saw everything coming and rolled with the punches. the problem for a 60 year old is he doesnt have the reflexes, he will just eat the shot full force. Tyson has muscle memory and can look great on the pads but i fear he has no punch resistance. He would still have power too and his natural style is to use lateral movement to attack from angles. there is a chance he can KO jake, I dont think jake can take a full power shot from mike.

To me its whoever lands first wins, thats if its not even fixed in the first place

Love your posts man...

This fight is a money grab and that's why Tyson took the fight. Tyson most likely will kayo Paul if he lands a few punches on him. However, Mike's reflexes aren't the same and it will show after 4 or 5 rounds. I hope and pray that this fight gets cancelled at the last minute and never goes through. It will be bad for boxing and bad for the Mike Tyson fans.

I hope they both injure each other badly. They are both awful, awful people to the very core of their beings and they're both making a mockery of the sport with this nonsense.
