No thread on this yet? Fight is Friday night on Netflix. Who ya got?

You've got this 27 year old influencer loudmouth that isn't bad at boxing, but you don't see him challenging the serious names in the sport either. Then you've got a 58 year old boxing great, I grew up watching Tyson fights. The guy has zero quit in him. But He's still dang near 60 years old.

Is this going to be a real match? An exhibition? Will Tyson pound this guy into the mat? Will Tyson gas out and get beaten? Will it prove a dang thing?

I'll probably watch just for the sideshow.

Even at 58, I think Tyson will destroy Paul. I am basing solely on I’m a Tyson fan.

Tyson's latter fights after prison saw him get gassed if a fight went deep. I always enjoyed watching him until bighting Hollyfield, plus how he would try to sprain opponent's arms when they were clinched.
I have no idea how this fight will go, maybe Paul with his kicking can take out the old man, but the promo's on Tyson make him look pretty darn fit.

Those promos show 10 second bursts, not 2 minute rounds. Dude needs a cane to walk half the time. My guess is it’s a mutual get rich quick bout to help Mike in retirement.

I think you are spot on.

Yep. Agree

I'll be watching. And my money is on Tyson. Probably first round knockout.

The "event" starts at 8, but I bet Tyson's fight does not start until 10.

Cynical, but probably spot on!

After staying up for Tyson's fight last night, I was reminded of another highly promoted event that occurred almost 40 years ago.

Mike will have a lot of OLD GUY strength, that's for sure. He might not have the young Mike moves he once had, but a well placed punch will cause damage.
