Anyone staying up/waking up at 4am to watch this tonight? I'm struggling to know where I stand with it as love the sport and so naturally intrigued to watch, but it also feels like a freak show. I'd love to see Tyson knock him out cold, but then I just can't see Tyson having the balance and mobility against a younger guy unless he goes all in on those opening rounds. But even then his reactions aren't going to be as sharp and who knows what his punch resistance is like if he goes in open to a counter. People saying Jake Paul is 'just' a youtuber, but so is Tyson now, sure he was a hell of a boxer but he was also known for crying before fights and quit later in his career so i'm not sure the same main exists anymore - I feel he was fighting through fear and as a caged/cornered animal before, and that's what made him so devastating. Now, he's much older, much more chilled, loves his substances and hasn't had a fight in years. Whereas, Paul already showed he can deliver a shot, and i'd argue that he's the more inherently dark, messed up character and Tyson isn't the demon that Gareth A. Davis keeps parading on talksport etc.. Difference with Jake is that he wears it as a joker. I know who'd be most likely to kick someone while they're down, put it that way. It could be entirely scripted and a non-event of course, but i'm working out whether to risk feeling crap on the Saturday to stay up and watch. At the Taylor/Serrano fight would be good based on the first one. What are other peoples thoughts on it?
