Exactly, so we're not going to find out 'how much experience matters over youth', we're just going to find out what has been agreed to happen between the parties involved and nothing more than that.

I just looked at some Paul "sparring" sessions, he's terrible!
He’s an amateur with no amateur background. But, you don’t have to look great to beat 60 year old men up even if they are one of the greats.

Biggest highlight so far for this was Tony Bellew

A 60 year old today, isn't the same as a 60 year old 40 years ago. Consider the advances in sports drugs, supplements and hormone replacement therapy and even at 60 you can retain much of your speed/power. Even if Tyson is running at 70% of his younger days, he's still going to destroy you.

You're talking as though the result hasn't been predetermined.

1am Saturday morning? Totally staying up for this. It’s ridiculous, but I’m interested.
It’ll be about 4am for the main event.

Good to know, that’s quite late/early!
For me this whole fight is a sick joke, but honestly I’m struggling to see how it would be fixed…
I mean if it somehow goes the distance and we get a dodgy decision then maybe yes, I could see it being rigged, but honestly unless that happens, I doubt it could be rigged - not if both fighters are trying to knock each other out.
Jake goes into it as the favourite by a country mile anyway so he’s largely expected to win, so I can’t see it being rigged that way.
For Tyson to win - his only chance is that Jake walks into something silly in round 1, and I just can’t see that being rigged..
Idk maybe I’m overthinking it, but unless it goes to the scorecards - I can’t see it being rigged.

Tyson needs to beat him, Jake Paul needs a slice of humble pie, he's such an arrogant douche bag.

The fight is a complete farce but at least Iron Mike is living out a lot of peoples dreams and getting to punch one of the Paul brothers. Shame it couldn't be both of them.

Hasn't had booze or a smoke for a few weeks he said in another interview, looks like he's going through withdrawal symptoms.
He's not wrong in the above interview though. Confirms that he's only doing it for the money, which is a sad state of affairs but can you blame him? $20m for 16 minutes in the ring.

I really hope there’s an agreement to script the fight so Paul doesn’t get hurt. I also hope Tyson has no interest in adhering to the script and removes his head with his first punch.
He’s completely useless. Terrible at fighting and even worse as a boxer. I shudder to think of how much time money and resources have been wasted on him with so much talent and potential out there.
8x2 minute rounds after a full professional training camp for a guy under 30 is shameful. Id be embarrassed to have that on my record TBH.

I hope Tyson KO's him.... But I can see Paul dancing around the ring for 8 rounds, hardly laying a finger on Tyson and claiming he's the winner....
On a proper note - Can't wait for the Taylor fight - 1st was a classic all time fight... Would love to see more of the same again.

I have a feeling Taylor may lose this time, will have to see I guess but it wouldn't surprise me if Amanda stops her
