Has it been confirmed it's an exhibition though? I mean, I'm sure it will be but I'm not sure how exciting that would be for people as it might as well just be an open workout session if that's the case. Tyson's last exhibition against Roy Jones Jnr was pointless and it was basically a light sparring session and it looked like they were only doing body shots.

If this was an actual fight, who do you reckon would win. Opinion seems to be mixed from pundits. Half seem to think Jake would easily defeat Tyson given his youth, but the other half seem to think Tyson could and would still KO him. Mike still has power and they say power is the last to go from ageing fighters, but fitness wise I don't know how long Tyson's cardio would last and Mike could be gassed out within a round or so.

He has some stamina problems even into his prime days then how much more @60? For sure if this one would be dragged too long then we might be seeing that much more faster that gassing out.
When it comes to age then there would really be no doubt that there's a huge disadvantage on here but i do agree on what most people been saying on here that when it comes to power then
i would say that i do agree or something that still with him but of course it wouldnt be something that will really be the same when he's still young.
This fight could really be considered as exhibition even considering fighting a retired boxer then it would be considered to be this way.

Some do have always that negative thoughts about these exhibition fights on which this is something becoming a trend. Well, it is what it is, we arent that forced to
buy those tickets and watch.

In the videos I have seen, Mike seems to point out that it's a serious boxing match where he is sparring with someone and preparing for the fight. Kinda a normal way to sell a fight. Of course, some of us will believe it's a legit real fight but at his age.

I have seen my father struggle to get up from a chair at this age, I have to move his chair next to a pole so he could hold it to get up. This is a man who rides a horse til 50. But once a person rests for a year or two, it's hard to get back to his old habits. Let alone Mike winning against a huge 27-year-old.

I hope he consults his physician and his insurance guy.
