This fight can only go one of two ways:

Tyson wins, absolutely smoking this clown in round one - and I would be happy.

It is a draw, Tyson loses, Tyson wins but it's close or Andre the Giant emerges in round 6 and beats them both, confirming the farce this event is.

Tyson was the most dangerous man in a boxing ring by a country mile. Even if he's lost 80% of his peak strength, he hasn't forgotten how to box and survive against the hardest punchers in the world.

Anything less that a total Tyson victory is a sign it is rigged/staged more than any fight in history. I would actually have more respect for this amateur clown if he's allowed Tyson to legit fight and Jake goes down after the first hit.

I look at it more like this:

Tyson wins and Paul looks bad for getting beat by an old man or Paul wins and looks bad because he beat an old man

Reality: neither

I'm gonna say this as someone who used to fight muay thai in my youth and who is still a lot younger than Tyson....

You lose speed with age and not a small amount.

Tyson looks in absolutely phenomenal shape for his age and there is no doubting his fight IQ and I really hope he wins but Paul is also in superb condition and looks strong and fit. I'm predicting a close fight, possibly with Tyson gassing. That would be my tactic if I were Paul.
