Paul’s not interested in losing to a 59 year old and Tyson is not interested in losing to a non-boxing joker

That was the old fight date.

Tyson had a bad ulcer flare-up on a plane flight close to the original date, which caused it to be postponed.

Been re-scheduled to November 15th.

It will happen. Too much money for it not to happen. Whether it will be a legitimate combat event, or an "Entertainment Event", with a pre-determined outcome is another question entirely.

I certainly wouldn't be putting any money on it if you're a gambling person...unless you know the script-writer personally.

Will watch when free. Never was a Tyson fan so IF it is a real fight it will be fun to watch him get beat like a rented mule. Unless Mike gets lucky in the first round he will be in for a long night until Jake feels sorry for him and KOs him.

Was talking about this today
Think Mike has to do it within the first 3rounds
If not Mike is done
Like beating a dead horse

New article on ESPN

https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/...ctioned-safety


A couple of telling excerpts from the article:

Quote:
It was originally set for July 20 but was postponed in late May after Tyson suffered an ulcer flareup while on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.

Ulcers occur when stomach acid damages the lining of the digestive tract and results in abdominal pain. Perhaps more worrisome, Tyson revealed on Netflix's prefight documentary, "Countdown: Paul vs Tyson," that he threw up blood during that same flight.

"I had a big ulcer, two-and-a-half inches, and it was bleeding," Tyson said. "All my friends were calling me like I was dying. I asked the doctor if I was going to die, and she didn't say 'No.' ... You wouldn't believe what I endured from my ulcer. I lost 26 pounds."

And

Quote:
While the fight is sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, there are three major caveats. Tyson and Paul will wear 14-ounce gloves rather than the standard 10-ounce gloves for heavyweight fights; the rounds will be two minutes rather than three minutes; and the fight will be contested over eight rounds rather than 10 or 12.

14 oz gloves and 2 minute rounds? It's a joke. Paul is the new Butterbean.

How many body punches to a 58-year-old man, with a 2 1/2-inch ulcer, will it take for more blood to be spit up and the fight called?
