Predictions for Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul

Bermane Stiverne: Mike Tyson

According to DAZN, Stiverne, a former WBC heavyweight champion, stated to Baccart.net: “I don’t think it will go beyond six rounds. In the early rounds, the younger competitor is going to try to assert dominance, but I believe Mike will work his body and draw him into later rounds. Mike is older but still has the drive to fight and hits hard. He’s taking this matchup seriously and I can’t see how he loses against Jake Paul.”

 

Roy Jones Jr.: Mike Tyson

Roy Jones Jr., a multi-division former world champion, mentioned to talkSPORTS: “I’m rooting for Mike, probably winning by decision, but if he decides to go for a knockout, he can definitely do that.”

Tyson Fury: Mike Tyson

Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury said on MMA Hour: “If Mike Tyson lands a punch on anyone, he’ll knock them out cold regardless of his age. He’s Iron Mike Tyson, the toughest fighter on the planet. While Jake Paul is experienced and has had plenty of fights, I still have to back Mike Tyson for the knockout, as he’s always supported me.”

Bleacher Report: It will be entertaining

Lucky Ngamwajasat shared, “Despite its entertainment value, I commend Paul, Tyson, and MVP Promotions for capturing the attention of me and numerous fight fans. Paul has cleverly maneuvered to maintain an edge in his previous bouts. Predictions? It will undoubtedly be a spectacle, and I’ll be tuned in. Whatever transpires shouldn’t be taken too seriously, but it should spark fun discussions and likely lead to another lucrative match for Paul in the future, maybe a rematch.”

 

Sporting News: Jake Paul via TKO

Daniel Yanofsky wrote, “If Tyson goes down, which seems plausible, I hope he can recover. My prediction: Paul may hold back his punches to entertain the crowd before eventually knocking Tyson down. Regardless, it will be a lively event, beneficial for Netflix, Paul, and Tyson.”
