Lately, the prevailing trend is to criticize this fight and label it as disgraceful, but I beg to differ. I'm pretty excited about it and anticipate it to be a captivating spectacle. After all, it's entertainment at its core, and in today's world, people seem to find fault with just about anything!

Regarding Mike Tyson's age, I don't believe it's a concern. He defies the typical expectations of a 57-year-old; possessing a physique, speed, and muscle that outclass many professional athletes half his age. People claim to be concerned about his safety but I remain confident there's little to fret about.

Conversely, I worry for Jake Paul, despite his youth. Mike Tyson's colossal ego suggests he'll approach this fight with utmost seriousness because there's no way he's going to let Jake Paul beat him. It would be an epic narrative for him to claim victory over Jake Paul, adding another illustrious chapter to his storied career. Also, I appreciate Tyson's representation of older athletes, showcasing the possibilities when one commits to fitness.

As for Jake Paul, I harbor no personal animosity towards him. My prediction of his defeat isn't rooted in disdain but rather in a genuine belief that he's outmatched against Tyson, even at this stage of Tyson's life. Perhaps I'm in the minority with this viewpoint though.

The fact that it'll be available for free on Netflix only adds to my anticipation because I would never actually pay for it! I'm eagerly awaiting the event, It's even being sanctioned as a professional heavyweight fight and not a exhibition. What are your thoughts?

This will be an interesting fight. Paul has had success against MMU fighters and doesn't appear to have fought a pure boxer like Tyson. If Tyson was 10-15 years younger I believe he would easily take him down. IMO, Tyson needs to take Paul out early or he might not have the stamina to go the full match. Paul might have a hard time handling a seasoned boxer like Tyson even at Tyson's age. If Tyson is in decent shape, then it could be a close match. Hopefully, Tyson is taking the fight seriously and not just doing this for the payoff.

If Tyson is able to connect his punches then I think Paul will be in serious trouble. Even if the strength of Tyson's punches are half of what they were in his prime. When Tyson was in his prime he was a very lethal boxer and I would bet some money on his punches still packing a wallop. It might come down to how well Paul can take a punch.

Power is the absolute last thing to go, his raw power is probably close to the same as it's always been.
 
No "secretly"here. You can stream virtually any sporting event for free online of you know where to look.

Grew up loving Iron Mike, and still love him today. The man has climbed to the top from nothing, been back at the bottom, and emerged some bizarre Philosopher with a lisp.

No joke, the guy could be another old fighter, slurring his words, but Mike reads, man. He is continually quoting the classics of the literature world, knows history like the back of his hand. People razz on him because he has a speech impediment, which I guess is allowed in this crazy PC world, for some odd reason, but he WORKS at knowing things. I cannot fail to respect that.

Roy Jones said that "Mike still has it, and I awoke after our fight extremely sore." Jake Paul is no Roy Jones.

Iron Mike for the win, baby.
