    Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Predictions

    Bob Arum, top-tier CEO: Paul wins

    “A 58-year-old guy, no matter how good he was, no matter how athletic he was, is not going to be able to fight,” Arum said in an interview with Johnny Boy Boxing last month. “You can’t throw punches like you’re supposed to, you can’t do a lot of things. I hope Mike doesn’t get hurt, but I’m giving him absolutely no chance. You lose that muscle memory as you get older. »

    Lennox Lewis: Tyson wins

    “Mike Tyson is going to win. He’s not that old. Don’t take it too gently. We’re a year apart,” Lewis told FOX 29 in Philadelphia in an interview last April. “You can fight someone like that and be successful, because the person you’re fighting is not a real fighter and there are a hundred things you can do. I forgot he’s learning.

    Roy Jones Jr.: Tyson has the advantage

    “It’s a young lion and an old lion. It’s a great situation for them,” Jones said in an interview with FightHype in September. “It gives Jake a chance with Mike being as old as him. I think it’s a great opportunity for both fighters but I still think Mike is going to be a little too much for Jake.”

    Antoine Joshua: Too young by Jake Paul

    “The only thing I worry about is Father Time. That’s the only thing that’s never been beaten and Tyson, he’s older now. But I pray he comes out healthy. I think of Jake Paul because of his youth. That’s the only thing — because of his youth.”

    Buster Douglas: Easiest victory of Tyson’s career

    “It’s not going to be good for Jake,” Douglas said in an interview with Gambling Zone in June. “I don’t think Paul will have much of a boxing career left after that. I think once Mike gets rid of him, his boxing career will be over. The best case scenario for Paul is to last the whole time. the fight, he said, went the distance with Mike Tyson.”

    “If Mike Tyson hits someone, I don’t care if he’s 90 years old, he’s going to knock him out, right?”

    Ten cents for sports betting: Paul by decision

    “If this continues into the later rounds, Paul’s combination of youth and cardio will make the difference. Expect Paul to use his jab and footwork to keep Tyson on the outside. The heavier gloves 14-ounce and two-minute rounds will likely also work against Iron Mike, potentially undermining his explosiveness in the second half of the fight.
