Iron Mike vs Some Gen Z Influencer

[Aviation Pro]

I hope Mike crushes that annoying TikTok motherfucker.

[Sympthsical]

4. Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul

Jake Paul is a famous YouTuber whose wealth and fame was mainly driven by an audience that was largely Gen Z when they were children.

He's also a terrible person with a history of shit. It's a whole long thing that isn't worth recounting here.

Many are collectively invested in watching Tyson pummel him into the earth. It helps that he also has a very punchable face.

[DontBelieveEastisEas]

38. I can't imagine what makes a punchable face, other than mostly genetics . And that leads to a form of

separation into an us vs them type of thing.

[BannonsLiver]

2. Assuming it's not rigged, which is a big assumption

I’m not liking the odds for a 58 year old Tyson vs a 27 year old. Hope I’m wrong.

[Mosby]

16. Boxers don't lose the ability to box.

It might get ugly.

[BannonsLiver]

19. They decline like all athletes do as they age.

[Mosby]

20. Foreman fought professionally until 48.

Just saying.

[BannonsLiver]

33. And how would he be in the ring today?

I’m sure Dan Marino and Roger Clemens haven’t forgotten how to throw footballs or baseballs but do they do it as well as they did when they were in their prime?

[melm00se]

46. Aging boxers may not be as fast

as they once were or lose some of their ability to absorb punishment but their ability to throw a punch does not rely on speed, it relies on mechanics and those never really fade.

Mike Tyson's history shows that he can punch like very few boxers in history. His punching power was estimated to be 20-30% more than other hard hitting boxers (like Rocky Marciano). He is ranked in the top 5 boxers of all time. That makes him truly dangerous.

All it will take is for one of those to land and its game over. Either Paul goes down or is stunned and defenseless. If the latter happens, the fight will be stopped cold. Paul is too valuable of a property to risk getting some permanent damage.

[BannonsLiver]

47. I think the fact that Paul hasn't really fought very many actual boxers is a factor in Tyson's favor.

But the 31 year age gap works in Paul’s favor. Nobody’s doubting that Tyson can still punch hard. It’s stamina and reflexes that are his biggest obstacles tonight. I don’t agree that boxers like Tyson are essentially immune to age related decline. He was getting beat by guys younger than he was when he last fought regular matches. That’s why he retired.

[Zeitghost]

25. Sure they do

And they get slower.

But more importantly, they lose the ability to take a punch.

[MontanaFarmer]

28. Tyson is still hard to hit.

And he's huge and trained up. Paul is all roided up huge too but he's not more than a serviceable boxer. And there's never a good reason to get in a ring with Mike Tyson. He still looks fast. I would love to see him cut Jake off and get him in the corner. Get one good shot on him.

[Mosby]

30. Even if they trained him up about how to box tyson.

As soon as he takes a good hit it's all out the window.

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth". Mike Tyson

Tyson will get under his defense and destroy him.

[multigraincracker]

41. Great quote.

Never assume anything in a fight. Only two things to remember, hands up, head down.

[Tribetime]

24. Yeah, I think it's fixed for Jake.Paul to win but tyson gets his twenty million

[ForgedCrank]

26. Even 75

year-old Mike Tyson isn't someone I'd want to piss off.
All I can say is this kid better stay outside the radius as much as he can

[malaise]

37. We agree on something

Reminds me of Jesse running against horses. Absolute rubbish to entertaupin the racists. Sickening.

[Elessar Zappa]

3. He's annoying but what does Gen Z have to do with it?

[Aviation Pro]

5. Gen Z influencers spread so much misinformation and bullshit

For clicks and likes and are debasing and polluting their entire generation.

[Elessar Zappa]

7. I know a lot of Gen Zers.

They seem fine to me. I don’t like it when people dog baby boomers or any other generation. If we’re talking about supporting Trump, it’s likely Gen X that supported him most per capita.

[multigraincracker]

42. Ain't no black and white in the world.

It’s all gray.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

13. A lot of people seem to be jumping to defend alt right incels

Jake Paul is pond scum who led a bunch of looters through a high-end mall in Scottsdale during the 2020 protests .

[Silent Type]

6. It's an exhibition, 2 minute rounds, big gloves, etc. But, yeah, the other guy is a pissant trumpster.

Then, again, Tyson bit a man’s ear off in the ring.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

9. I think Tyson is a Trump supporter, also.

[Silent Type]

10. Think you are right. Hope they both look stupid and knock each other out.

[Goonch]

8. 👇👇👇👁️👁️

[ForgedCrank]

27. Yup

[JustAnotherGen]

11. Didnt Tyson

Dismiss him as an angry elf

[GreenWave]

14. Never piss off Mike and then face him in the ring.

[LessAspin]

15. Trumpsters

Maybe they'll knock each other out

17. This shis is no joke

Link to tweet

[TheProle]

22. He stepped on Tyson's foot

[thebigidea]

21. all he's doing is cashing a check for being a stooge for Jake Paul

[jalan48]

23. I hope Tyson wins.

[BlueTsunami2018]

29. Mike the rapist vs. Jake the grifter.

No wonder they love Piss Wig so much. They share his traits.

It amazes me that Tyson, a real deal convicted violent rapist, has managed to avoid the whole “metoo” “time’s up” era without cancellation?

How does someone like that rehabilitate their public image.

And that’s without bringing up all the other shit he did.

Paul and his brother are among the worst of the online “influencers”, with their bro culture and endless peddling of bullshit to young boys and men for a decade.

Would be nice if an asteroid hit the ring.

[Mosby]

34. That rape conviction was BS.

https://www.newsweek.com/mike-tyson-sexual-assault-rape-conviction-1992-1596437

[BlueTsunami2018]

35. It's just him denying it.

There’s nothing in there that says it’s a sham other than him proclaiming it was.

[JanMichael]

39. He was charged tried and convicted. He appealed.

He is a convicted rapist.

I guess unless he tries to get it expunged now ...

[CatWoman]

40. um

i was living in Indianapolis at the time and watched the trail closely.

he was and is guilty.

that young lady was guilty of stupidity and bad decision making.

[Mosby]

43. He was convicted because he's black.

He's a victim of systemic racism.

The only evidence is her testimony, just like with the Matt Gaetz rape case, except he's white and the DOJ don't think they can convict with just the victims testimony.

The exculpatory evidence was ignored, like the fact that there was a phone in the bathroom that she chose not to use.

[gab13by13]

31. Tyson's contract says

If he knocks Paul out in the 1st round he doesn’t get paid. Take it from there.

[underpants]

32. I grew up with Mike. We're basically the same age.

He was an absolute terror in his prime. Don King ruined him. Used him as Don King does.

I hope he kicks the crap out of the gut half his age. Mike looked really really god at the weigh in. Ripped but with weight.

I have a hilarious story about Tyson and basic training.

[Jack Valentino]

45. I never liked him when he was young. I was happy for Buster Douglas's

"one moment" as a boxer.

[WarGamer]

36. they're BOTH Trumpers. Maybe a dual simultaneous knockout?

[Jack Valentino]

44. I don't know who the "Gen Z influencer" is---

but do you think "Mike" should try to bite half of his ear off ???






I think the Gen-Z-er wins just by getting into the ring
with the convicted rapist ear-biter


but like I said, know nothing about this opponent---
maybe if I did, I might be "neutral" in this

[ForgedCrank]

48. Well, this

fight turned out to be a bust.
I guess Tyson really is too old for this game

[Mosby]

52. Paul just ran around and kept his distance.

Tyson seemed more interested in making thru the 8 rounds. I kept waiting for him to get in there and work, but he wouldn't do it.

What a dud.

[Texasgal]

49. I refuse to watch

or give any credence to this. It is absolutely about MONEY and MONEY only. This is not anything Near a true sporting event, this is simply about MONEY.

It is SICK and I refuse to watch this stupid debacle.

[LoveSucky]

50. biggest loser is whoever paid money to watch this.

[Skittles]

51. it is disgusting

[Mosby]

53. It was free for netflix subscribers. nt

[True Dough]

54. Tyson seemed pleased that he went the full 8 rounds

He didn't look very good, but he didn't get knocked down either. Considering his advanced age, it was an accomplishment in itself to go the distance.

He also walked away with $20 million!

Jake Paul called out Canelo Alvarez afterwards. Yeah, good luck with that. Highly unlikely that fight will ever get put together and if it does, Paul will take a thorough beating.

[GenThePerservering]

55. The women's match

Was a lot better than watching those two tomato cans.
