I think that slap was made for a hype. During the unformal interview before the fight, Jake Paul gave Mike Tyson a gift, a cage with pigeons, knowing that Mike loves them. Mike has replied that he will feed them to his falcon. I think that was also an element of hype. Mike is trying to act tough guy, Mike is trying to be as scary as he used to be, to distract attention that right now is not the beast he used to be.
Have you seen him train? He's fast and in good shape. I know he's old, but a lot in boxing comes from your mentality. How well you can take hits, how do you cope with pain after a few rounds.
The way I see it, Tyson is still very strong and fast. He took a lot of hits and knows how to deal with it. He's not too strong mentally which he showed in his famous ear bite, but I can assure you that he's in good shape. Watch the training clips. Jake Paul is nobody, so unless Tyson took money to lose this, which could be a thing since he likes money and lavish lifestyle, he's going to win this.
