I'm pulling for Tyson. Much older, but like Joe Rogan said "that's Mike fucking Tyson." Can't stand this other guy.. Hope Tyson beats his face to a bloody pulp.

HOPING Tyson wins....not sure though:(

The 'not sure' part kills me because never in a million years would I have ever bet against the man, but age is a MF'r:(

Watched him while I was a young kid just demolish huge grown men in the 80's and 90's. Seen him lose to Buster Douglas that night and it wasn't even the same guy in the ring. He was never really the same after that, at least to the level he was at prior. I feel he would have beaten Holyfield in their last fight had he not lost it when head-butted and then bit Evander's ear off, lol.

He only really partially trained from that time onward, even against Lennox Lewis.

Power is the last thing to go. If Mike stuns him fast and hurts him. He will eat him.

Best Quote about Tyson is an old one by Joe Rogan
" First time I met Mike Tyson I was scared shitless , it was like being in a room with a lion , I just wanted him to like me. "

I cannot even watch it. It is an exhibition and not a sanctioned bout with no drug testing.
So 2 guys pushing each other in a parking lot that breaks out into a a good knock-down drag-out fight and you wouldn't stop to watch just because it wasn't sanctioned or piss tested? Come on, everyone likes a good fight!

You're right it though it has nothing to do with the sport, it's just entertainment.

Tyson's career took an abrupt about face when Cus D. died. All his scammin bud's took total advantage of him and were at least 50% responsible for his loss to Douglas. My wife, at the time, loved Mike and was devastated watching that fight. And then Don 'the crook' King stepped in and robbed him blind. I feel bad for what he went through. However, he has redeemed himself and I really hope he takes it to Paul. Not that I hate the guy as I do feel he did what it took to become a rich man and I think alot of people hate him for doing what they wish they could but can't. My take on the fight is up in the air as I think it depends on Mike's chin. He will have to come out bobbing and weaving and not take the chance of getting hit flush and going down and out. One vicious upper cut and Jake goes down and out. Put Jakes nasal bone deep into his brain cell.

If there's not going to be any drug testing maybe somebody needs to slip some Mibolerone in his water bottle right before the fight.
There were a few rumors around that he or one of his trainers was fond of Halo before a fight. I don't think it has ever been validated.

Right on.

If that kid think's for a moment he's going to go toe to toe and trade bombs , he's gonna be in for a rude painful surprise.

I remember watching the buster Douglas fight and I thought how in the hell is this guy going to take Mike tyson. He had that big old midsection pad on and he was in nowhere in the shape that Tyson was in. I think Don King manipulated a lot of fights to make himself a lot more money. The guy was such a scammer. Mike Tyson is one of the greatest fighters of all time. A fight that I would like to insane is Mike Tyson versus Muhammad Ali both of them in their prime. I think Tyson had more power but Ali could dance circles around him and the ring. That would be a fight to watch..

The bragging that will go on if Tyson loses I don't even want to see.

Bragging this up will not win him any fans. Real boxing fans will still hate him for taking on an old legend.

An no matter who he is, it's just hard to look cool while bragging up beating on a 58yr old.
