I was good friends with Mike back in the 80s, I lived just a few miles from Catskill and meet him first in the gym in Catskill when I was taking boxing lessons. He took a liking to me, and we remained friends for quite some time. Used to hang out in Albany NY with him at the speed shop on central ave and mess around with cars and doing some drag racing late in the evening on the streets. He was a very nice guy and did a lot of things for people that most people would never know.
@@Jeremya74 Mike wins fights with an upper cut, if you let him in close to you he'll put the two hands up in front of his face and wait for an opening then circle under and hit you in the chin. I don't know much about his opponents style. I would say the fight will have to be over in the first few rounds for Mike to win. I will pick Mike, sometimes boosting can be your worst enemy.
My first cousin is Roy Jones Jr, and he fought Tyson a few years ago and told me he still punches hard and physically imposing.....but they were both old men and age matters.
Tyson has nearly 5× the actual professional fights as Paul, and he battled monsters. Paul is a social media guy who finds aging fighters, who are below his weight class, with less size and reach, in order to produce a string of wins. I think Tyson may still have what it takes to expose Paul as a fake.
Yeah. But even though this is considered a pro fight, i dont think Paul is actually going to try and knock mike out like he does in his other fights. He is smarter than that. If he knocked MT out, at Mikes age, he would be hated and ridiculed and lose a lot of fans. Im not saying Paul could knock out Mike by the way.
"Everybody has a plan until you get PUNCHED in the mouth!" Go Iron Mike, take down this paper tiger influencer! Jake's gonna wish he was Tik Tok dancing when his inflated head hits the canvas!
Mike Tyson is one of the greatest fighters of all-time. Jake Paul is basically a celebrity / amateur boxer. I realize that Mike is old and has many physical injuries, but you can't discount his skill. Ability wise, he is in a different universe from Jake Paul.
Brad, I'm going with Tyson! He can't be matched regardless of his losses. On another note, Randy was unquestionably a phenom but Eddie V was much tastier! But my all time favorite is Jimmy p. The total package! Keep up the great work Dude, Dave
Suprised you brought this up. Im a huge boxing fan myself, and also hoping Tyson wins. I think you and i might be the last generation that got to see heavy weight title fights on tv, before it went to pay per view. Those were the days.
Hello Brad, I believe Mr Mike Tyson, a boxing legend still has what it's needed for a bragging you tuber , + all the trash talk, is just like a turbo boost for his motivation. Old men can still kick ass, whatever the domain of expertise, look at us, lol !
@@badbrad The thing is, Jake is doing it for the views (and gets them,anw), not Mike . And Mike can do it too, for the 'likes & views', but I think he knows he has a lesson to teach to a young man . Mike is such a personality, calm and humble . You just have to see his eyes , when he says 'I hate violence' ! Take care !
Mike’s problem is going to be his back and knees. Can Jake Paul hurt Tyson? I’ve got my doubts. Can Tyson hurt Jake Paul? Absolutely. I think Mike is going to be scared. I think he’s going to take this exhibition very seriously. Mike used to say his intent when he got in the ring was to kill his opponent. It should be interesting.
Hi Brother Brad, Great as always! I think you're about my age and I too love Iron Mike! I really feel this kid will be lucky to walk out of the ring. I saw a warning that Holyfield posted telling this kid all but don't do it! I'm not a gambler, but, if I were I would take Tyson. I really hope this kid survives this fight. Thanks Brother!
This isn't a legit boxing match it's a fixed match for money purposes only. There is nothing real about this fight it's a joke and wouldn't give them a second of my time lol your awesome Brad thanks for the time you spend on these videos I enjoy all of them
If I were a betting man, I'd go with Tyson. He's got the experience, and he's still tough as nails. Those punches still land like comets slamming into the ground! Jake is going to get served up a heaping helping of crow and humble pie!
Boxing was awesome when it was free on TV. Old akool. Wide world.of sports , channel 13 Sundays. The HBO cam and snagged n had to have HBO the the money started really rolling and what happens when money starts rolling? Cheating stealing amd greed. Go Mike. His first fights were in my home town glens falls civic center. But man the days of hagler , Mayweather, macho comaco, on and on and on. Ali, foreman, so so many. Boxing was big in our house my dad lived college Sports also.. Basketball and football. But ultimately I live in a hockey town. Adirondack red wings. The 80's, we still have hockey, always have. Just different names. Live hockey is the best. Yah Mike won't treat this like an exhibition trust that. Never has.
This was the worst display of sportsmanship in my lifetime. Jake paul is a disgrace to take a win on Mike. Seeing his performance in the ring, I will never watch Jake paul fight anyone. I hope he never makes a dimension from sports again.
Jakes promotion company is putting this on. Its not like it is sancioned by the WBA, IBF, WBC or WBO. This is labled Sports Entertainment not Athletic Competition meaning its likely scripted like WWE. Big money maker for both guys with likely a contract agreement and script. Having said that if anyone was gonna just say f*k it and the contract and just go head hunting on principle it would be Mike but I don't think at his age the way he has mellowed out that he would risk a 20 million dollar payday

That is an amazing story. Thanks for sharing!
I've heard that he was a giving person..killer story but you told us all that and didn't tell us your prediction!?

He's doing it for the money, I would. Will he win timing will be everything
Wow Dwayne! No doubt Mike can hit hard. Age does matter unfortunately. I will still root for the old dude.
@@badbradheck yeah..look at all these fans of yours being close to big time boxers..very cool!...I'm voting for wisdom!...IRON MIKE BABY!
@@Jeremya74 Right on.....
Beware the old soldier. He’s old for a reason.
Truth
The old soldier could still be around because he's tough or smart or lucky. Maybe all three!😄
Tyson's got the DMT entities in his corner. I'm going with Mike.

One can hope.

I just hope Tyson doesn’t kill him with one of his punches
Thx Brad! I'm rooting for the guy my age; Tyson!
YES! me to!

Holyfield is right. This is dangerous.
Definitely rooting for Mike 👍
Oh ya!
Old guy strength will prevail 👍
Hope so
It’s gonna be awesome
I hope it is.
i hope Tyson wins
Me to.

I think Mike wins, via the decision. He might knock Paul out, but I don't think he wants to do that.
Interesting
Next match : Jake Paul vs Joe Biden
Tyson's gonna knock him out! He'll do it quickly, or we'll see how much stamina he has?
Perhaps.
We will know by the end of the first round if this is a real fight or a staged cash grab for both of them.

I hear you.
Yes, Paul is "King Troll"
@@atronzton4401 He has become that.

Interesting take
i think you meaNt recovery time is "A LOT MORE"
Yes!
Boring fight; Paul was good enough to win against someone too old and too slow. The undercards were both good fights, but the main event was nothing.
I hear ya.
Iron mike is going to kill this kid if its not staged! He couldn't beat Tommy fury 😂
Ina perfect world..
