While I wouldn't doubt that, it really sucks if true. But I haven't heard that anywhere. I have heard that they will be required to wear heavy (ie padded) gloves and I think both can wear head gear while Mike has said he won't and Jake has chosen to do so.
It’s a sanctioned fight now, isn’t it? So no longer an exhibition. Counts against their records I think.
That would be awesome!
It is sanctioned but with eight-2 minute rounds. I think Iron Mike can keep up that long.
If Tyson wasnt almost 60 years old I would agree. I do think he wins in the end but there are many years difference in age and stamina. I guess we shall see. I know Mike has a deadly uppercut that many fighters will remember the rest of their lives. I would love to see a knock out.
If Paul fights, he gets knocked out.
If Mike were 10 years younger I wouldnt even have a second thought that he knocks out JP. When a 58 year old man re enters the ring there is reason to doubt. I think Mike can and will win but the age difference could be an issue. I hope that uppercut sends Paul to the canvas in short order.
I can agree with this. But the big thing for me is this: MT isn't, and never has been a typical heavy-weight fighter. He fights with a toughness that has never been replicated with just a very few fights being exceptions. Even in those fights, his toughness wasn't replicated because he didn't fight with that toughness. If the 19 y/o MT were to step into the ring against JP, I believe he literally would kill JP. While his age IS a detriment, I think his tenacity and and aggressiveness will be too much for JP to overcome unless he gets a lucky shot that stops MT.
Well I see you are 60 years old. I am 66 this month. I can still defend myself physically but can I still take a powerful jaw punch like I used to? Probably not and thats the reason I depend on Colt to help me. Its different with MT because he has always been in tip top shape and he knows how to control the ring but is his jaw still as iron as it has always been? I guess we shall see. Lets hope so. I would absolutely love to see JP laying on the canvas with his arms stiff.
Tyson is going to get destroyed.
