Mike Tyson will fight Jake Paul at Jerry’s World

[Jay Bilzerian]

As a kid growing up in the 80's/90's, a Mike Tyson fight was an event that was like the Super Bowl. There were house parties at whoever bought the PPV.

I miss when boxing was that big. Pre-PPV you could watch a prize fight on ABC or HBO.

We had a cable descrambler. Was glorious!

That wasn’t Michael Spinks. It was his brother Leon. I believe he married or dated a girl from Columbus. He worked as a janitor at the YMCA.

He used to volunteer with the Special Olympics in Columbus. They’d come to that track in Pawnee Park every once in a while. I’d be working with my high school athletes on the track and I’d say to them, “See that guy over there? He once beat Muhammad Ali.” And they be like “whaaaat?”

LOL that's hilarious. I wonder how many other people here don't know that. Everyone I've talked to said he was the boxer.

For 100,000,000 I would do it. He’d kick the fuck out of me of course. But it certainly wouldn’t last long and I’d take my hospital ride with dollar signs in my eyes.

for $100mil I'd let him enter me from behind in the center of the ring.

Both Leon and Michael were boxers. And Leon did beat Ali. But Micheal was more successful, his only loss coming to Tyson in his final fight.

Ah, gotcha! Dang, that's pretty impressive on both their parts.

At least a small chance he'd kill you.

lol! I forgot about those! What was the name of the Lincoln cable company that everyone had back then? Was it Cablevision?

No idea. I grew up in Sioux City.

I remember watching this ring entrance. Spinks picked some bubblegum hip hop; Tyson just picked the noise of chains and hammers.

Spinks was scared as hell.

Tyson is old

Jake Paul is a massive POS but he is a legit athlete. He wrestled at Ohio. And he’s young and has been training nonstop for how many years?

Tyson isn’t gonna beat him

This is how I see it too. He looked like 150 years old and slow with no power against Roy Jones Jr. He's not even close to the same Mike Tyson and Paul knows it. I hate to see a great champion like him lose against a punk like Paul just because he's nearly 60.

I assume Paul is going to jab n jog since Tyson is way shorter and AARP age.

Would love to see Tyson land one of his classic uppercuts and steal Jake's soul, but a Jake decision win seems most likely. Looks like he opened a 5:1 favorite, although closer to 2:1 now.

Yeah it seems like Tyson needs to get a KO within the first two rounds if he has any shot.

I really hope he does a rhyming video for each day leading up to the fight.

“It’s day 105 and I’m feeling alive.”

“It’s day 111, do you guys believe in heaven?”
