No, Lefraud's softer than baby's ass and would probably flop at the sound of the bell.
Tyson's gonna pummel his ass.

$20 million dollars. The gloves were bigger, the rounds were shorter and the length of the bout was less to help give Tyson a chance. This is the age we're in right now. You can become a YouTube boxing star just as you can become a YouTube singing star.

Imo both boxing sucks and music sucks. This is Andy Warhol's 15 minutes of fame realized.

Finally some excitement in that stadium

$20 million.

2 minute rounds and bigger gloves. 🙄

I suspect that Mike's left hook still brings the thunder. I don't know about his cardiovascular health though. If he finds the kid's chin early, it could be over quick.

Uh,not too many pro athletes creeping up on 40 are in better shape than James!
He just got 3 triple doubles in a row....

Bravopilot

sdandrea1 Agreed, but this is 8 2-min rounds. I don't have Netflix but should be interesting. Definitely overhyped

LBlack14

Anybody know what time THIS "fight" is supposed to get underway? I have Netflix and want to watch.

7th fight on card which starts at 8:00 PM est ... so probably around 11:00?

Stu1961

Tough to analyze: guy who lost to Tommy Fury versus 58 year old ex-champ. However, I was impressed with Mike's movement and speed during the Roy Jones Jr exhibition (granted several years ago).
I don't think this will go the way of Mayweather and McGregor. Mike's not going to try to entertain. If Jake really does try to fight, and not just clench and cover ... it could be a quick night night. Kind of hoping it will, just so Jake will go away. It's crazy money for two guys with no future and, relative to current heavyweights, little talent. It's closer to a circus act than a true pro fight.

Stu1961 for two guys with no future (in boxing)

The main reason I didn't want to stay up and watch it. I like Mike as an internet personality these days when I occasionally run across him. Never seen anything with Jake Paul - probably just didn't click because I didn't know who he is.

darpar

I think Tyson might be ok for 2-3 rounds, after that his cardio will be in question
and he probably gets pummeled!

Stu1961

darpar
I’m not so sure cardio is in the favor of the guy 30lbs heavier than his last fight a little over 3 months ago, and even that weight was 10lbs over his previous fights.

I just signed up for netflix after being away from it for 4 years!

backinit You fucking sucker!😉😁

I wouldn't be so quick to write off Jake Paul. He's 31 years younger.

garyt1957

rsvman2 and he's a reasonably decent boxer. A total non boxer, I'd take Tyson, but that age difference is huge. If he can avoid Tyson for a few rounds and tire him out, I like Paul.
Is thete anybody in the world actually rooting for Paul?

Yipsy

If Jake Paul isn't wearing Kevlar ear muffs he's a fool.

LBlack14

I don't know if I can make it to 11:00.
