Gambling discussion / Re: Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson live On Netflix July 20
« on: May 27, 2024, 11:29:15 PM »I think Mike Tyson will go his 100% into his fight against Jake Paul, but both strengths wouldn't be the same when compared with one another. You know why? Jack Paul, a young fella, while Mike Tyson, an old fella, whose youth strength has reduced drastically for it not to stand and withstand the strength of a young vibrant boxer like Jake Paul
Exactly. There's a reason athletes retire, and there's a reason they retire early (say around late 30s, or early 40s, depending on the sport).
I have no doubts Mike will give his 100%, but his 100% might not be enough.
I wouldn't worry about his strength, as you can keep it high till old age, but he will be lacking in dynamics, agility and stamina. So he'll have to get Jake early, bu surprise. Any passing minute will work in Jake's favour.
that's also true. a fighter may still think he is good to fight but his body is just not up for it anymore. Mike seem pressure to make this fight to happen since he already sign up for it. but this is also the reason why the rules were very optimized for him. maybe he could fight but don't expect him to win.
just a few hours ago, he had medical emergency which it was said he has ulcer or something like that.

if fight is cancelled, Netflix wouldn;t be happy with this.
Oh, that's why I saw something in my feed telling that the fight is going to be cancelled. But I thought it's fake news so I totally skipped it and not read the news. If Tyson goes under the knife and have an operation, then he has to wait for it to heal and so I'm leaning towards the fight being cancelled here. Of course, there are fans that might have bought the tickets already and will travel to watch the fight. But the odds here, at least for me is higher that the fight getting postponed. And if even if Tyson is cleared, then he has to go back to training again and reset and everything.
Edit: there are no operation, it was just a ulcer flare up. But not sure how it will affect him though.
