I read that they're not going to wear headgear, but they are going to use 18oz gloves, which is a huge advantage for Jake Paul. It's going to very difficult for Tyson to knock Paul out while wearing clown gloves.

Pretty sure there is a stipulation in the contract that Tyson can't knock out Paul.

If this thing is anywhere close to a real fight, Tyson will get worked over bad, TKO. Paul beat Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley semi recently. Tyson is nearly 60 guys ... as annoying as these Paul brothers are, they do actually have good skills.

Mike is probably too old for the sanctioning body to allow it without a bunch of dumb rules.
I assumed they got around this by calling it a "sports event" instead of a boxing match or fight, but apparently not. It's going to be a boring cardio match until Mike dies of old age if the headgear and big ass pillow glove rumors are real. |

Looks like they may be allowed to actually fight?
The OFFICIAL fight rules for the professional sanctioned bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul have just been announced. Following the confirmation that this contest will go down as an official pro fight, the rules have been released. RULES: 1) The fight will be contested over eight two minute rounds. 2) 14-ounce gloves will be worn. 3) The rule many were concerned about… Knockouts are allowed in the fight. 4) Headgear will NOT be worn by the fighters. “Official” fight but with 2 minute rounds? |

Unless Paul runs the entire time, does anyone think that Tyson needs more than two minutes to finish this farce?

Definitely glad to see this is being sanctioned, but I'm still not thrilled with the rules... a real fight that counts shouldn't have short rounds and heavier gloves
They're grown men, take off the training wheels Still think Tyson rocks him, dude is taking it seriously by swearing off sex and weed... Paul has never ever faced anything even close to Mikes boxing skill level |
