*** The Official Boxing Thread ***Do Not Discuss Illegal Streams

I think the biggest problem with this fight and any potential Tyson victory is that Paul is almost certainly a credible "club level" fighter now.
If it was a 27 year old youtuber with 1 or 2 fights, and a few months of training, sure, Tyson would give him a boxing lesson even at 58.
Paul has been training for years now, right? Fully paid camps, money no object, expert sparring partners, top training, and in a prime physical condition.
Sure there will still be a gap in skill, and achievement, but I am not sure a nearly 60 year old champion will ever be able to keep up with this version of Paul.

I hope I am wrong, I have always admired Mike as a pure fighter and my heart says he will do the business, but my head is not letting me get that carried away :(

I suppose you've summed up why it's peaked the attention of so many.

Youth vs 58 year old Primal Killer Instinct, who will prevail?

I dont feel like Tyson has had the killer instinct for decades. I still think that when people think of Tyson in their mind, they are thinking of the young Tyson, not just in his physical youth but also in his rage/killer mentality youth. He's mellowed a lot and I dont think he has that same mindset anymore
 
I'd love to see Tyson do this but theres no escaping the youth on JP's side and for all his amuturish ability does have a decent swing as much as it pains to say, its only going to take 1 or 2 bombs to remind Tyson of his age.

is anyone else getting terrible quality?! might as well use one of the streams....

I had terrible quality on my TV natively, but it'd working loads better on the Sky Box and also my phone.

Very odd, but rock solid on the Sky box now.
