Is anybody excited for this?

Tyson is 58-yrs-old now and surely can't be close to the fighter he was.

Paul is 27-yrs-old and is probably in the prime of his life.

The thing with Paul is that nobody takes him seriously. Is he out of his depth here? Or is Tyson just too old?

Either way I'm looking forward to boxing for the first time in a long time.

There is a 3 part documentary on it available to watch now.

3 days to go...
 
I think Tyson wins easily. It may well be by unanimous decision as he is no doubt still a wily old fox - but if he wants to knock Paul out then I think he probably can.

Paul is obviously younger and can punch but don’t think he will get close to Tyson despite the latters age.

Again it’s just a money spinning fight and I cannot imagine it will live up to the hype.
 
I used to love Tyson fights, I don't think I've seen a boxer I've enjoyed to watch more. Absolute beast

But I have read he struggles to walk a bit these days, has back problems.

You've got to back the younger man.......but it is Tyson......

what time is it on?
 
I think it’ll be an exhibition fight neither man goes for KOs and Tyson is given it on points.

It’s a ridiculous fight he should not be getting in the ring at that age.

I did laugh when Tyson called it the biggest fight ever. They're definitely building it up, but that's what all boxers do.

I'm not sure it lives up to the hype either, but one thing is certain, they've made it must-see.

Totally agree with this.

I do worry about his age now, and if he's got anything left.

The documentary suggests he does...

Is it included with Netflix or do you have to pay extra?
 
Why anybody would want to watch that is beyond me. Apart from a lot of wonga can't think of one other thing either would get out of it

Hope Mike forgets he was supposed to take it easy and sees red when the first bell dings and he puts the other dude on his arse with his first punch
 
She was definitely cheating with them headbutts too. I think they should penalise that much harder.

The gash caused by them was really bad.
 
Tyson looking cooked.

I'm disappointed - don't like Paul at all, he needs knocked out!
 
I guess it wasn’t actually surprising Tyson was well off the pace. I thought his nous would win him the fight but nope.

In the end a drab fight but I guess it was always going to be. One an old man and the other a YouTuber!

Boxing has become a bit of a circus to be honest.
 
Yeah, the main event ended up being a bit poor really. Luckily the other fights were good!
 
If Taylor and Serrano have a third fight then Jake Paul should fight on the undercard let them main event it.

He obviously has this big audience he attracts but these celeb fights don’t help the sport. He can hype it up all he wants a 58 year old should not be in a boxing ring in a pro fight.

Paul has clearly come a very long way but if he’s serious about the sport he needs to start fighting pros and look to establish himself in the rankings. I doubt he will as he will be found out quickly.
 
What do people think of the Taylor vs Serrano result?

A lot of people have it 2-0 Serrano.

Didn't see the first fight so can't comment, but she definitely edged this one for me.

He's been saying he'll be world champ one day...

I'm with you, I don't think he's got the skills.

He isn’t even close, even if he got into the top 10 at a national level it would be a crazy achievement.

No money in that though so he’s not going to do it.

I saw he called out Canelo who should tell him to get in line behind the other 100 fighters who are trying to earn that shot.

He thinks he's above everyone else, and that his 'star power' is enough to get him what he wants every time.

As for money - how desperate can he be wearing £800,000 [$1M] shorts for a one time fight?
 
Canello should say he'll take the fight. Get his biggest payday and knock him the eff out. But Paul will never actually accept the fight. He's aware there are levels to the game.

He’s a showman and fair play to him made himself an absolute fortune from very little.

If you chuck enough money under any fighters nose eventually they’ll say yes.

All part of the act for publicity I guess but I’d be surprised if he actually paid for them.
 
He was legitimately offering Tyson $4M for some bet before the match, so he clearly has money to throw around.

Who else would pay for the shorts? Logan Paul? lol. He's stupid enough.
 
He can offer that bet knowing Tyson can’t afford to take it. It’s all for show he’s a hype man.

Netflix or one of his sponsors would be my guess.
 
That Taylor Serrano fight was excellent.

The Tyson fight was shameful, thats not boxing. Some old bloke static in the middle of the ring, while some nob head jogs around him after being told he can't knock Tyson out.

I want to see that idiot given a right pasting, I saw Bellew showed up to the weigh in. Get him in there.
 
Lerena has offered Jake Paul the chance to fight for the belt. Probably the weakest of champions around to go for and test himself.

Not that I think he would but the offer is there let's see if he takes it.
 
Bellew probably just wants a pay day all these retired fighters likely sign up to NDA's and deals that mean if they knock him out they don't get paid there full fee.

Carl Froch has called him out as well.

The only thing I'd say is if him putting on these exhibition fights helps proper fighters on the undercard get better pay days then it's not all bad.
 
Bellew is taking the right piss.
