I would be surprised if Mike beats Jake. He is 60. Would you bet if its on Stake?
Well damn, I'd be surprised too but the man is 60 and Jake is what? 27 or 28? That's a crazy age difference. Jake is basically like fighting an old father. I hate to see Mike fighting at this age, even if it's just an exhibition which is not really a serious match compared to professional bouts. Mike may had crazy boxing skill sets, but nothing beats age though all of it will deteriorate.
Anyway, this is more about money though than being a sport. Purely an entertainment only. As per boxing fans, who wouldn't want to see Mike inside the ring again. Sports fans nowadays would love to see legends strapped in again after a long year of retirement and they are willing to pay a crazy amount to see it happen and so this kind of events happens. If anyone benefits this the most, that would surely be Jake Paul.
And to answer the question, NO I wouldn't bet in any exhibition matches. Simply because 1. It is not a serious fight and 2. They have their own set of rules which could be a little complicated sometimes.
1. Why do you think it is not a serious fight? People get punched in the face with full strength. Every clearly landed punch hurts.
2. What are you talking about? What is the difference or rules there will be in this fight? The fact that it is exhibition, they wont have 12 rounds and will have larger gloves does not change that fact that both it hurts to get punched in the face.
As to age that you have mentioned. Do you know that there are no former professional boxers? Even 60-70 grandpa who used to be a pro boxer can knockout most of amateur boxers. Search on youtube when young guys messed with retired old boxers and you would surprised that they still have skill and speed.
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.
