I wonder how real it will be? Real wound be dangerous to both. That’s why it’s going to make a lot of money. I feel like watching even!

[Victoria Watcher]

Tyson is 57 years old.

Not sure this is too smart.

[max.bravo]

Not smart for Paul. Tyson is a different kind of animal.
Joe Rogan thinks so https://youtu.be/bpg...12E5QyKotGZRgcJ

See what I mean! This wil be great for both of them. If it’s not real and therefore safeish. Otherwise my money is on Tyson.if you are betting on it you need to figure out who the desired “face” is. Because they both have a “heel” foundations to their personal brands. My money is on Tyson. Better story arc.

Unless they want race riots before the election. Then Jake. Shoot. Tough bet here.

‘Real life Rocky Balboa’: Local blue collar battler has eyes set on Victoria pro match

 

The rungs on the pro boxing ladder are among the hardest to climb, but a Victoria fighter isn’t afraid of a little hard work.

 

Brandon Colantonio’s day starts early.

 

“I get up and maybe go for a run,” he says. “I work 10 hours, then I go to the gym right after to work out. Then I go teach boxing, then home.”

 

Work is hard labour, sorting refuse and recyclables at HL Disposal. From punching the clock to punching the pads with coach Jason Heit, Colantonio’s work has resulted in a perfect pro record.

 

“He’s currently ranked number 4 in the country in the Super Heavyweight, and he’s on that trajectory that we want him to be on,” says Heit.

There was an article on Global news about a Vancouver boxer, light heavyweight, who looks quite promising...

Jake Paul (10-1) vs. Mike Tyson (50-6, 2 NCs)

 

Let's get this out of the way: Tyson can knock Paul out. But that isn't the likeliest outcome.

 

Paul is more than three decades younger than Tyson; Paul's 27 and Tyson's 58. That age gap is a huge hill for Tyson to climb, especially considering the former heavyweight champion hasn't stepped into the ring since 2020 and hasn't fought professionally in almost 20 years.

 

Meanwhile, Paul - the YouTube star turned boxer who's taken the combat sports world by storm in the last four years - has stayed busy, competing three times since December. "The Problem Child" is seeking his fifth straight victory.

 

Friday's main event will be a relatively short one, as it's scheduled for a maximum of eight two-minute rounds. Tyson's best shot to win will come in the first round or two when he's fresh. Otherwise, Paul should be able to outlast him down the stretch.

 

Ultimately, I think Paul has the movement and speed necessary to avoid the one-punch knockout, drag Tyson into deep waters, and make it a grueling affair. The big question is whether or not Paul finishes Tyson, and my gut says he'll put together a flurry of punches the referee decides is enough to wave off the fight.

 

 

The pick: Paul, seventh-round TKO

Fight card starts at 8:00 ET. I think 6 other fights befor the main even plus patter so it’s unpredictable when.
Go Mike!

UFC ALWAYS has their main event in the last hour of their 3-hour PPV/TV fight window.   Seems odd Netflix can't figure it out.

Tyson already has the boy on tilt haha https://youtu.be/PyI...?feature=shared

[dasmo]

The trick is to predict who the writers want to win!

What they do if they have a short fight or two, is insert an earlier normally non-televised fight into the TV production.  If the main fight also goes very short, they draw up yet another from earlier in the day and insert it at the end to round out the telecast.

True. But they want your eyes for the longest period of time.

They want your eyes for 3 hours and have to pay a satellite or two, by the hour.

 

I still don't see what Netlix can't be more open, if you pull up news stories you will see reports of all kinds of times.  Some of which must be wrong.

 

I've also seen some news outlets saying it's eight 3-minute rounds.  Which it is not.

You relying on the news for the truth again?

[Blair M.]

I'd love to see Tyson knock the crap out of Paul.

I've no idea what's going to happen, and the age difference will certainly come into play - but this is Mike Tyson we're talking about here, the undisputed GOAT - against a lisping YouTube hack who's never seen the likes of a Mike Tyson.

 

I'll be watching!
