The difference between Fury and Paul was huge, based on that I think that Tyson will win.
There are some interviews where Tyson sounds like he is struggling to breathe sat down. I'm actually a bit worried for him, but in an ideal world he forgets any script and sends Paul over the ropes and into the 5th row in about 30 seconds. A guy can dream. If this goes any distance then it's obviously not going to suit Tyson.

Was huge yeah, but Tyson was never one for conditioning, even with the 2 minute rounds I can't see him lasting beyond a few rounds. I think this will be won by Paul on points. 12oz gloves makes it a pillow fight so a KO seems unrealistic.

Tyson may look in good shape but he’s fucking 60. It’s not like he’s going up against some random dude from the bar next door. Paul might not be a proper pro but he is in good shape, trains consistently, is pretty large, and can easily handle Tyson.

It’s all a show, they’ll probably dance around and if anything Jake will KO old man Mike.

Yeah being in shape doesn't mean he has the tank to even go the distance. I don't even think after his last pro fight he has the fight in his eyes anymore. It'll be some glorified exhibition where Paul will practically carry Tyson into the later rounds.

And Paul's fanbase, consisting of 13 year old retards, will grow up thinking he's easily beaten one of the most iconic boxers of all time :touched:
I mean RJJ got his ass handed to him by almost complete nobodies, got retarded from all the brain damage and became the Russian citizen, but he is still the best at 168 in history. Mike's legacy won't be hurt by this at all, as one Italian philosopher said "Dogs celebrate on a corps of a lion, yada yada yada".
But jfc, Tyson is 60, fucking sixtee. People seriously tuning into it probably never had grandparents.

He spend years eating mushrooms and smoking weed, no doubts that his breathing is bad. But the technique, muscle memory, vision, reflexes and stuff, Tyson must still have the advantage there. I remember Paul vs Diaz diving a lot, hopefully Tyson will keep the overview and go for a double left hook, one to the body the other to the head. He has a chance. Paul obviously will try to go as many rounds as possible and try to finish him last rounds.

Either way, as sad as it is to fight a old Mike Tyson, i'm quite hyped to see him fighting for one more time. One of my personal heroes. What a beast but more important what a personality. Mike <3

Actually muscle memory goes a lot quicker at his age, his over all speed will be nothing like what it was 30 odd years ago

Depends a bit how you translate muscle memory right. If we translate it to giving a perfect punch I dont think it will go away. If we speed things up in the heath of the moment + his age, it wont surprise me if you are right during sequences where he punches, slip/dives multiple times, it definitely wont be as fast as we knew him before. One good punch can be enough though

They say ring rust is a thing, in Tyson's case it'll be more like ring corrosion. With the bigger gloves Paul should be quick and resilient enough to defend himself. Even if Tyson throws bombs in the early rounds he won't be able to sustain it.

Tyson’s last fight was nearly 20 years ago lol.

What an absolute carny shit show. But I’ll still watch it :lol2:
Tyson fought the legend Roy Jones Jr. few years ago, still looked really sharp.

But yes his last REAL fight, was so long ago. If you get a chance you should see Roy Jones Interview after the fight, RJ said he still had that power every time he was touched by Tyson.
