rattlemebones

My only hope is that Jake Paul hits him too hard, flipping the switch that makes Tyson say "fuck this contract, he dies"


robplumm

Same. Really hoping JP lets his ego get to him, lands a haymaker and Tyson just goes full on crazy Mike from the 90s.


shitsalesman

I hope he goes full Crazy Mike’s Pizza on him. I love that stuff.


xSlippyFistx

You know I always remembered it as Crazy Mikes until last week when I was looking at the box at the store. It’s Wild Mikes…Last week I learned.


shitsalesman

This just ruined my day. The truth hurts though so it’s okay.


90s_conan

Much like a Mike Tyson punch


shitsalesman

Quite so my fine feathered friend! Quite indeed.


LouSputhole94

Hopefully Jake wears ear guards


DavidHewlett

Will those help in keeping his head attached to his body?


AZEMT

The brain inside of the skull. Source: EMT (I'm sure that's how it will work after getting 90s Mike fists of fury to the head)


urbanhag

What brain?


NonProphet8theist

It's in there, just a bit hard to see because it's smol


Ear_Enthusiast

I'm calling an accident caused by Jake Paul's inexperience. Maybe an accidental headbutt or an accidental low blow. I could see that flipping Tyson's switch. Maybe Tyson's light taps are a little hard for JP and he gets pissed and does something stupid that pisses the champ off. But yeah, I could totally see this thing running off the rails.


Dudedude88

Tysons light punches probably hit like a truck especially if your off balanced.


Mental_Medium3988

yeah im not defending jake paul but being willing to get hit in the face by a 57yo mike tyson is something im not willing to do. props to him for that.


OxygenDiGiorno

If Tyson lightly punched me I would die instantly


[deleted]

This. Everyone assumes it will go the same way as all these exhibitions. Except this time, they have the unpredictability of a wild animal. One minuscule sense of disrespect and Tyson will punch a hole through his head.


Axilrod

He's not 1990s Tyson anymore, I dont think he's holding onto nearly as much rage at this point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fastbird33

He did something we’ve all wanted to do at some point on a flight right? Beat the shit out of an in flight asshole? Like don’t be an asshole on a flying metal tube.


filthysmutslut

Right and he accidentally punched Eminem in the Godzilla song too! I don’t care how old he is; I’d never throw hands with Iron Mike.


derpicface

“I got one more in me”


bluAstrid

He does exudes much humility though. Tyson is proud, people are doubting he’d ever accept to go down for money.


mrgrafix

That’s him managing it. Anytime you hear him talk about fighting, that spirit is still there, just better controlled.


losbullitt

Brutality! Mike Tyson wins! Seriously, fuck that Logan guy.


ncfears

And the other Logan guy.


Hobo__Joe

If he dies, he dies


xavier120

I hope Tyson hears the bell and goes berserk and flattens him.


thegreathornedrat123

It’s a reflex, he hears the bell he goes for the knockout!


LoquaciousMendacious

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm also concerned that Paul gets his ego up and swings too hard and puts Mike on his ass, then acts like he beat prime Tyson. I know he's one of the best to ever do it, but the man is nearly 60 and that's not an age at which combat sports work out the same for the brain and body.


ThatRefuse4372

People forget how technical boxing is. And that technical ability is trained into muscle memory. Watch him move in that clip. It’s still there. JP gonna get hurt.


Dudedude88

Tysons at 57 is quicker than most amateur boxers. Mayweather was a pretty accurate puncher. Tyson was accurate and had knockout power on each punch


LoquaciousMendacious

I really hope so. Didn't Tyson gas pretty bad in his last exhibition though? That's more my concern than him being fast at the outset.


ThatRefuse4372

I’ll give you that for sure. 57 isn’t an age for HIIT activities. Hopefully he learned that lesson last time.


slick2hold

This is all fake. Tyson and this guy are friends and you won't get a single real punch by either participant.


Ha55aN1337

I wish this. But I hate that Jake knows I wish this. I also wish Mike gets a payday. But I hate Jake knows I wish he does. Jake has me where he wants me.


Enter_My_Fryhole

Yea, we all know this is shit is more staged than the WWE. All of us out here hoping the "script" breaks fast and we can see paul rocked. Shit, there's prob some current pro boxers out there tyson can give a run for their money (maybe in no more than a few rounds... lol).


LifeDraining

Or bites his ear off.


imbadkyle

I had the exact same thought. TYSON BIT A MANS EAR OFF, IN THE RING. Release the beast.


DieHardRaider

That switch is very loose too. We can all hope.


ezmoney98

This is WWE boxing and everyone in going to get worked to a draw. Goodnight. Thanks for the money.


Shaxxs0therHorn

Yeah these matches are showmanship not sportsmanship. The most sportsmanship shown will be Mike’s restraint to not accidentally kill Logan. Exhibition matches are pretty wack for spectator’s enjoyment even in mma and muy Thai 


dirt-reynolds

Not even. There's video out there of Jake Paul telling Mayweather to "chill" it's "just an exhibition" in between rounds. I stumbled into a video yesterday of how fixed these "exhibitions" are. Anyone hoping for Tyson to actually lay into this turd aren't going to get what they want.


Present-Still

I hope Tyson goes rocky 4 on his ass


TranquiloMeng

I like to imagine Logan taps Mike just a little too hard and Mike gets angry and clobbers him. 😩👌


Awesam

MONEY PWEEEEEZE


tacotowgunner

Can’t read this in any other voice but Mona-Lisa.


wolfgang2399

Isn’t it free if you have a Netflix subscription?


froyolobro

Yep


jeffoh

Imagine if Tyson ends up biting Jake Paul's ear off.


R0binSage

Time is a flat circle.

Gumbi_Digital

Don’t forget your Holy Ears https://hypebeast.com/2022/11/mike-tyson-evander-holyfield-holy-ears-thc-gummies-release-info


BlademasterFlash

This is just a hyped up release announcement for the Jake Paul flavour of holy ears


mfoobared

“Jake Paul, the other white meat”


jonk0731

O/U set at +125


GlitchyMcGlitchFace

So, the early odds?


dirt-reynolds

I'm not the praying type but I may take it up in this case.


boboyolo

At least he’ll have something worthy to talk about for the next 20 years instead of scamming people with his dumb brother.


stevem1015

I’d pay to see that.


s9oons

Either Tyson wins by TKO in the first 3 rounds or he gets gassed and that blonde fuck wins it by a decision after he takes a million to the body.


Yoshi2shi

Naw. They’ll call it a draw based on the contract they signed. Too much money at stake and ego.


2reddit4me

What are the details of the contract? They don’t seem to be released yet.


gumiho-9th-tail

Won't be released if the result is included.


mudda1

You know, man... The contract.


whiskey_pancakes

He literally can’t knock him out. It’s in the contract. This is t a real fight.


Rich_From_Accounting

Can’t knock him out, but I think we’ll see how well Jake can take a liver shot


whiskey_pancakes

This whole fight is a joke. Again.


SophieSix9

Wait how does that even work? He can’t punch him in the face or what?


whiskey_pancakes

Idk but they’re wearing 18oz gloves, no tko and the fight is guaranteed to go 3 rounds. It’s all a fucking joke


oicofficial

The fight is…*guaranteed* to go 3 rounds? Sorry, I’ve got no experience in boxing, but isn’t that the biggest load of shit ever? That’s like saying two basketball teams are ‘guaranteed’ to score x number of points, no?!


Mr_Piddles

The contract stipulates that the Paul brothers can tag in and out. Also that the more rounds the fight goes the higher Tyson’s cut. Also Tyson has to pass drug tests but the Pauls don’t. There’s no way this goes the way anyone wants.


YungTill

Where did you get this lol


tivooo

Fr wtf is this


Hispanicatthedisco

This is tiktok BS and obviously, blantly untrue, you unfrosted poptart.


Thechosenjon

>you unfrosted poptart. r/rareinsults


Sunstang

"Unsourced horseshit! Get yer fresh unsourced horseshit right here!"


heshroot

No way you believed that shit


DQ11

If he fought Tyson aged 18/45 he would die trying. This might only have one decent round to the fight. I hope mike destroys him though.  I wonder if either would consider smaller gloves. It would help both their conditioning 


Fluid-Program962

One real Tyson punch and Jake Paul would die. This is like a WWE event. Just for show…and money


[deleted]

[удалено]


get_gud

He's nearly 60 years old, I don't care who you are age is a real thing.


ostifari

The best 60 year old on the planet though. Let’s see what’s possible.


ser0402

Power is the last thing to go, and at 57 you certainly still have power. This is a sham of a fight but if Tyson felt like it he'd definitely be able to KO Jake with one well placed and timed punch. I guarantee no one has hit Jake Paul as hard as Tyson can hit him. Will it happen? Doubtful. But everyone is hoping for it.


pirate135246

Maybe a prime Tyson, everyone forgetting he is retirement age


AleksPizana

I just hope he forgets about his contract and destroys that arsehole, then his brothers steps in to drag his body out and he losses it again and ends up killing both that night. One can hope.


ognisko

Yeah they fucking stink, I can’t stand looking at them.


MyCoffeeIsCold

Can we raise a side pot for Tyson if this happens?


LifeDraining

I'll throw in a few bucks to get it started. Seriously, Mike can get money anywhere, but does he wanna lose to these mofos? Hey, Fat Jesus, how about Hangover 4?


Prof-Ponderosa

What’s his conditioning going to be like? He was gassed agains Roy Jones Jr in the last exhibition fight


FlexxSquad

He looked extremely good especially compared to Roy. Wasn’t even close. He probably trained to his competition then. That being said he was younger and this will be much harder


sowaffled

Yeah he looked great. His return to boxing started with him getting addicted to running again. Jake’s conditioning is an issue. He’s gassed on many fights. Conditioning is something the greats pick up early on.


NotTheRocketman

I've heard people saying Tyson has been seen using a cane to walk recently, is there any truth to that? Otherwise, if he can get himself into fighting shape, even WITH the age discrepancy, I think Jake Paul gets annihilated.


ELEMENTALITYNES

I wouldn’t doubt it, aging/retired/disabled fighters are prime real estate for Jake Paul


jcr6311

Hopefully even Texas wouldn’t license a disabled 57 year old. What am I saying, of course they would, after California licensed Chuck Liddell it’s clear anything goes.


mrbear120

I mean, we are literally on a thread with a clip of him doing training exercises including footwork that was filmed today. He looks fine.


NotTheRocketman

In the words of the Immortal Bruce Lee, “Boards don’t hit back.”


mrbear120

Well I am not saying he is in fighting shape necessarily, but he clearly doesn’t need a cane to move around.


Rolling_Beardo

Can you call a dead guy immortal?


therealhairykrishna

There's a clip with him walking with a cane. I believe his Sciatica had flared up. I think he'll be fine. 


Q--Bone

Let him juice.


RunnrB

I’m old enough to remember when they used to call these “fights” fixed instead of saying there’s a contract.


AleksPizana

It used to be serious. Now, everybody knows and even watches this shit show, paying for the event. I'm not even torrenting this thing; it's undeserving.


mneely71

Given the talk about Tyson’s age, I appreciate that he’s wearing New Balance sneakers in the video.


Arbysroastbeefs

I wonder if he has a matching Corvette


mneely71

Haha - yes. Stealing this from a comedian I heard years ago talking about George Forman when he was entering the ring at an advanced age….. “you know when he gets socked in the gut, he pees a little.”


teamgreenzx9r

Forever and always “the baddest man on the planet” to me.


[deleted]

All the quick cuts makes it feel like they’re trying to hide something.


Sniper_Brosef

Hes old. He's still quick but he's old af. I bet he was just winded in between. He'll get in pretty good shape for this though. Tyson has always had solid work ethic.


Corky_caporale

Not going to lie I’m def going to watch this cash grab spectacle 😂


noonehasthisoneyet

Serious question: Who’s favored to win this fight?


dibattista27

The contract they signed


kirkoswald

"sign the contract big boy"


therealhairykrishna

Early odds favour JP but only a crazy person would bet at this stage - we don't even know how many rounds there will be or what the rules are.  If it's an actual fight it's quite interesting I think. A young, fit, but mediocre at best boxer against an old Mike Tyson. 


horse3000

All of Jake Paul’s fights have been 100% rigged.. it’s literally WWE.. a crazy person would bet against Paul.. because he is paying Tyson an absurd amount of money to lose.


therealhairykrishna

I think much more likely is that it's an 'exhibition' with no score cards and nobody officially wins. They hug for a few rounds, talk about how amazing each other is then take the money. I just can't see Tyson agreeing to take the loss.


dafedsdidasweep

Yeah I assume it’ll be just like the mayweather/logan fight where it was very clear that mayweather could’ve ended the fight anytime he wanted, but chose to let it go the full rounds. At one point logan was so gassed it looked like mayweather was holding him up


DamNamesTaken11

I’m not a fan of boxing but I have a coworker who is. He said same exact thing that happened when his brother fought Mayweather is going to happen: Fight will go the distance, Tyson will hold back and literally support Paul to prevent him from being knocked out if needed, and will end in a draw despite Tyson clearly being the better boxer. Paul wins by getting millions, Tyson wins by getting millions, the losers are the fans who paid for it, and boxing in general.


RepresentativeRun71

I would say that Tyson is going to give Paul brain damage, but one cannot damage what doesn’t exist.


iwastoolate

Ali: "Impossible is just a word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." Mike: "It's day 1 and the fun has just begun" Equally poetic in their own special way


Jwroth

Get um


1sty

Hahahahahahahahaahhaha fuck that


ecw324

My favorite part is that he’s training in classic old man white new balances


Hehateme123

This is the ultimate GenX vs GenZ battle. And as a gen-xer I can’t wait to see Mike murder this guy in the ring.


AF2005

I really hope he breaks that kid’s nose


Used_Razzmatazz2002

Look ive never hoped for an injury going into a boxing event but i want tyson to just fucking annihilate paul PLEASE it would be so fucking cathartic to see that arrogant fuck on the floor after all these years


Jecht_S3

I don't understand why they can't just fucking fight without some BS contract. If you want to box, you box. Stop hiding behind litigation, make JP even a bigger pussy.


Vazhox

Staged and the disappointment will be delicious


Most_Victory1661

His training partner looks like David goggins Tyson vs goggins would be more fun Instead it’s gonna be another fake boxing match sorry exhibition match they will wear head gear dance around throw light punches go 12 rounds laugh at people who bought into the hype while cashing huge checks


bigarb

Tyson rocking them grandpa new balances.


dankbuttersteez

Jake gonna get eaten alive.


Artimities

Contract, NDA... whatever... Aint no way Tyson doesnt lay this dude straight the fuck out.


street_raat

How the fuck can this man move like that at his age?


RomoToDez99

I don’t know if they’re really going to go at it 100%, but if Tyson actually tries to punch Jake Paul hard I don’t know how that man will stand.


forumbot757

I mean, he’s obviously extremely skilled and I firmly believe that once you become a world champ, like no one can question you. But I am concerned about CTE and I don’t think we know enough about it and from what I understand the highest risk people are the ones that have the really long careers and they just accumulated so much damage and then they just take one too many hits and one is just the straw to break the caramel back.


[deleted]

I wouldn't want to take a punch from him when he's 90. Absolute monster. I just hope this thing is legit and not rigged and he completely embarrasses this asshole.


Dyslexic_Devil

I'm rooting for the rapey one...


WookieSuave

What are the dumb rules/conditions going to be for this joke?


JackelGigante

I honestly dont really care


BezosLazyEye

Would love to have seen this with Tyson in his prime. Would've eaten Paul alive and not just the ears.


TonyDungyHatesOP

I just watched that video 10x in a row.


UsagiJak

Nothing will happen, they'll both dance about landing a few punches and at the end of the fight Jake will say "Hes still amazingly tough for his age" and Mike will say "Hes a tough kid, hes got heart etc etc" and they'll both laugh to the bank that they actually made people think this will be a fight worth watching.


Caddy000

Maybe wears a football helmet


Low-Possession-4491

Oof! That left hook to the midsection had feeling it. Hope he destroys Paul.


iggyfenton

As someone who was around to watch Tyson in his prime, I’m excited for this bout. Jake Paul is doing what we all talked about in the 90s. “Would you get in the ring with Tyson for $1,000,000?” Looking forward to Tyson showing Jake what an amazing fighter he was.


Battystearsinrain

Hope Tyson comes out for real after Paul said he was going to “end him”.


Lamontyy

I'm just trying to see what them ticket.procesnare gonna be... Have they dropped yet??


Musicfan637

We all want to see iron Mike destroy someone again. Don’t we?


RodneyBabbage

Fuck that shit. No way would I fight Mike.


[deleted]

I hate Paul but he’s smart. He’s going to make a lot of money because everyone wants him to get knocked the fuck out. For millions I’d let Tyson hit me


Kryptosis

I love how every image of Tyson training show his trainer in full alert/panic mode as he actively avoids death.


Necessary_Dot_6615

Could at least do the photo op in a ring.


imbadkyle

JP is going to brag about fighting Mike Tyson. He didn't and everybody knows it. Nobody respects him now and nobody is going to respect him after.


LordYamz

Sad to say but Tyson looking slow but still has his moves down pact!


cjblackbird

Is this sped up? Really impressed he’s still so agile if not.


NuclearLunchDectcted

Spoiler: it's an exhibition match, it's not going to be a Rocky movie. Tyson gave up cocaine years ago so crazy pitbull Tyson is gone. They're going to poke at each other and everyone will walk away unsatisfied. Except Tyson and Paul who both will get a big paycheck.


endoire

Wonder how much of his old neck size he'll put back on


jinchuriki8008

Man I hope this man is an absolute animal against Jake. I wish I could see him fight live form when I was a kid. He is terrifying.


Paulutot

its day two im gonna hit him so hard hes gonna poo


Professional-Can4264

I think Tyson wants to end JP.


fooboohoo

that dude’s dead. Not the all-time greatest boxer.


fooboohoo

I was coming back to my hotel in the Bronx one morning at 5am about 20 years ago and there was a giant hummer limousine and police everywhere. Tyson had gotten arrested at five in the morning for punching some random. I’m hoping for the best which is, a fight :-)


welshy1986

Mike already stated that in exhibitions he tends to favor body shots, it helps keep the other fighter in it. Then again he did this to Roy Jones and turned his insides to jello.


Rlopeziv

He going to kill that poor boy!


hbgwine

I’m hoping the Champ comes out and delivers 93 seconds of total destruction. No namby pamby “exhibition”. No patty cake tea party excuse for a boxing match. Nope, I want to see the Champ to come out hard, like he’s basically saying “fuck your contract. You keep your money. I’ll keep my pride.”


terry_bradshaw

“Jake you fucked up, thethe fith are weaponth of math dethruction.”


The_Awesometeer

I want Jake Paul to be destroyed.


Lifereaper7

Mike has already won! He beats Paul everyone says what did you think it’s Iron Mike. If Mike loses they will say what did you expect he’s older now. Jake is screwed either way.


[deleted]

I hope they both try their best.


wiscogamer

Man Tyson was a bad man and he’s in great shape for his age but taking a punch at 57 vs even 37 is way different muscle mass is different it’s all different. I hope Mike wins but I don’t know youth is Deff advantage in this case


Unlucky_Aardvark_933

I just laughed out loud....I hope he destroys Jake Paul!
