I think he'll have a cautious opening few rounds working the jab, think Ruiz II fight, then when Francis tires (which he will), AJ unleashes. Seems the most likely outcome. Can't shake this nagging doubt though. Honestly, I think Ngannou will go at him straight from the off. If that the case, it's anyone's fight as both have the power to put anyone's lights out, Ngannou even more so than Anthony. I suppose it could equally be argued that Ngannou will be also be hit harder than ever before, though I'm less confident about that with a man who walks through knees, kicks and elbows for a living and Ngannou turned down $8 million to fight John Jones in the octagon to fight AJ instead which kinda worries me too. Anyway, nuff said now. May the best man win, both fighters avoid injury and the judges be honest and fair. In the final analysis, that's really all that really matters. Enjoy the fight mate.

Comrade 86 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 44 minutes ago, Alph said: Mike Tyson still intimidating as ever. I wonder how many opponents had lost before the first bell. He's an animal. I hope he lets loose on Paul and doesn't play his part in the show. Probably got about 5 good minutes in him but 5 mins with THAT?! Honestly I wince watching (and hearing!) those shots land. If he still goes about his work the way he used to, it'll be a very quick fight. Interestingly, Paul's fans have turned on him recently, saying he only fights bums (true), that it's all WWE style fakery (mainly true) and that he needs to fight a proper fighter to claim he's one himself (definitely true). I guess fighting one a few years off his free bus pass was the most daring compromise he could stand. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Tyson’s opponents were beaten before they got in the ring until he got beat by Buster Douglas, after that he lost that aura he had. Tyson’s lifestyle affected his boxing ability he had lightening speed of punch as well power. Tyson’s drinking and whatever else he was up to made him lose his speed. However I’d still take a prime Lennox Lewis to beat prime Tyson, although they’re around the same age they peaked at different times. Would still love iron mike to give Jake Paul a good hiding Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am almost moist with excitement 😜 One question though... Anyone know why Jake Paul has a tattoo of a c*** on his shoulder 5 hours ago, Alph said: Is Mike Tyson going to parade around touching Paul up or his he going to edge in level the t*****? If he just goes in looking for one big bang then I'll pay for it. But I imagine it's an entertainment gig where we put a few rounds on for the fans, Mike Tyson gets tired and then Paul wins rounds. Everyone goes home rich saying Paul is actually a talented boxer when he's not Unlike a lot of the other "Youtube boxing" fights, this announcement has gone down like a lead balloon. As it should. Fighting a near-pensioner is embarrassing. They even used an old picture of Tyson for the poster to make it look more legitimate.

Chester40 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I agree that it's a good night ahead. Things are finally moving in this ageing era of mega-beasts! Either way - Joshua gets closer to the chance to fight for something big ..or he gets taught a lesson and he's off the table as a creditable champion. With only a fight with Fury left for him as worth watching (Wilder seems done now). Parker seems a decent bloke, but he seems to be just under the league of the top heavyweights so I kinda hope Zhang bullies him into submission and that then allows him to take on Fury eventually and all questions are answered.

Paul punches like a fanny and has so little ringcraft that he made Tommy Fury look good. Check out Tyson's training vids. He's off the chop and looking healthier than in years. Paul won't be able to cope with his movement and he sure as hell won't enjoy Tyson's power. I'm hoping Mike goes 'off script' and decks the f***** with his first right, left, uppercut combo. Fight duration, 15 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the most likely outcome is a glorified spar, however. I don't think Paul is thick enough to think he'll come out the hero for sparking out a 58 year old with health problems.

You really believe he'll allow that to the final chapter of his fight career? No chance. Anyway, only one way to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Oh my God. There is no way you could have Vargas winning that fight comfortably as one judge did. Let's be generous and give him the first 6 rounds. Find him a couple more. He lost 6 in a row and two knock-downs. But a judge had him winning. This sport really f**** me off.

Comrade 86 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Nick Ball on the wrong end of yet another awful decision. Warren for once is rightfully livid, though his fighter shows a bit more class. It's getting beyond a joke now and that would worry me if I were in the Ngannou camp. Absolute shocker. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Outrageous judges need some serious investigating. Something is very wrong with that decision, blindingly obvious that Vargas was out worked out muscled out fought and Nick Ball 100% should’ve won this no doubt! ”His back yard” from Vargas does he know Liverpool isn’t in Saudi 😱 Edited March 8 by Ted McMinn Football Genius Comrade 86 and Alph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
