Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson says fans shouldn't be concerned about him fighting at 58: 'I'm going to be OK'

[Phase III]

Is there a rematch clause?

No need, the fix was in from day 1. Whoever believes this fight doesn’t have a WWE scripted beginning and ending needs to ask themselves when did they flush their common sense down the toilet.

Marijuana and tobacco have very different effects on the body. If it was 82 thousand in lucky strike, Mike would be less than a corpse.

Is that a completely true statement?

Tobacco or weed doesn’t matter…that can’t be good for your lungs.

Weed was so demonized for so long that now that it’s legal…the pendulum has swung so far to the other side that we have hundreds of cannabis dispensaries in Puerto Rico all touting that it’s a miracle drug that does everything good without any drawbacks.

I don’t buy that for a second.

What's your point? A 22 and a 12 gauge gunshot have very different effects on the body as well. You're still inhaling (he did say "smokes") the toxins and carcinogens (many of the same toxins and carcinogens as a tobacco cigarette) of combustion. Unfiltered mind you... People can try and market it to morons as "health and wellness" all they want. In simple terms there is nothing that burns that you're going to breath in that's good for you or your lungs. Period, end of story.

Mike’s taking a dive.

Yeah, weed is good for some things but not boxing where your reflexes and stamina mean a lot.

i'd never buy something like this farce but plenty will.

its some pad work and he has muscle memory but i dont see any vids of him doing actual defense work in real sparring. that is what i want to see how good his defensive reflexes are in non choreographed work.... if they had any vids that looked impressive im sure they would have released them to promote the fight. which tells me they dont.

Yes, when you get old you can't slip punches so fast. But

Jake Paul needs to get Jai white in ring..jai white always picking jake Paul to lose. If beating jake is easy, I want jai white to show us how it's done

To be frank, I’m legitimately amped up for Serrano-Taylor rematch as well as seeing Barrios and ShuShu in their own fights. The Tyson-Paul gimmick is going to draw the world’s attention, but I know how irritated a bunch of posters on this board are going to be overhearing the most ignorant remarks from friends and family members that don’t follow the sport at all on fight night. Lol

Mike was on Logan Paul's podcast eating shrooms this weekend. how the **** can the state athletic commission sanction a pro fight for a 58 year old pot head who is doing shrooms a week before the fight?

Lol thats one good ass question, Money talks ,BS takes a long walk I guess.

Anyone see Mike during the media workout? It’s very apparent this should not be happening. When they can’t edit the videos into two second clips to get everyone hyped he looks every bit the 58 year old grandpa who got stopped by journeyman at the end of his career twenty some years ago. His feet looked terrible and he couldn’t even find range for his shots on stationary mitts. I hate this fight more than I can put into words.

[Ropeydope]

forget the "morals" of the display that is coming up on a pure business level it is smart, more people are drawn to Mike these days then people really know. Will it translate to buys ? That is why they are making it happen. For serious fight fans it is a insult and a game, another reason or proof of the what the fight game has become. But most people know the score boxing answer's only to boxing and nobody else fight fans they dont care one bit, they treat fans like they dont exist man they dont even try anymore.

I guess there aren’t enough of us left to dictate the game. The fight is tonight and I’m aware of many in my orbit that are planning to watch that I wouldn’t have thought of discussing boxing with before. It’s a pop culture event. We’re talking less than casuals.
May we live in interesting times.
I’m starting to get why that Chinese proverb is actually a curse.
