On Nov. 15, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will return to the ring to tackle influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The largest query heading into the struggle is how Tyson will carry out at 58-years previous.
“What if this factor seems like a 58-year previous man preventing a 28-year previous man when Mike cannot draw from that reserve tank to remain and compete with this younger child,” questioned former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier.
Most individuals agree that Tyson has in all probability maintained his punching energy however to maintain tempo with an individual 30 years youthful appears unlikely.
“They manner Mike seems on these pads when he’s hitting pads with Rafael Cordeiro, it seems like there’s nonetheless one thing left in there. However then I watched Jake Paul struggle Mike Perry, and I watched Jake Paul get pressed to the place he begins to really feel uncomfortable and it seemed like Mike Perry had an opportunity. However Jake has a reserve tank to go to and draw from as a result of he is 28-years previous after which he comes again and really finishes Mike Perry,” Cormier stated on his YouTube channel.
“Early within the struggle, Mike Perry is getting beat on, dropped. He seems out-manned. He seems outmatched. Center rounds, he begins to work his manner again within the struggle. Mike Perry can be a younger man, however because the struggle went longer, Jake Paul attracts on this reserve and finishes Mike Perry. Many consider that in that reserve there’s a number of banned issues. However on the finish of the day, it permits for Jake to attract from that and put himself on the trail to get a victory. That’s my concern,” continued Cormier.

Like, all people loves Mike Tyson,” Cormier continued. “What if Mike knocks him out, although? Then it is over. All the things’s executed. It might be an all-time backfire.
