Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will be facing off in a boxing matchup on July 20th at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. It’s still a bit shocking that these two fighters will be facing off, but it appears it’s going to happen. Let’s take a look at who’s going to come out on top here.
There is going to be no headgear for this fight, and there is a push by both sides to have this be a professional fight, but it’s unclear at this point if that’s what is going to happen here. Jake Paul is the favorite at -225 while Mike Tyson is the underdog sitting at +170
Mike Tyson Betting Preview
Mike Tyson is one of the most decorated boxers in history, but he is also 57 years old. Tyson hung up his gloves almost two decades ago, but he has had one fight since then. Four years ago, Tyson came back for a fight against Roy Jones Jr, and it ended in a split draw. Looking at the stats, Tyson probably should have won, but some interesting judging from Vinny Pazienza meant it was a draw. In 58 professional bouts, Tyson has 50 wins, six losses, and two no-contests. 44 of his wins have come by knockout. Tyson has been sharing clips on social media, and it looks like there is going to be no shortage of trash talk leading into this fight. The big concern with Tyson still has to be with his age. Even if he looks in good shape, 57 years old is probably too old for most people to be taking shots like he might take on July 20th.
Jake Paul Betting Preview
Jake Paul was a YouTube star before he decided he wanted to try his hand at boxing. Paul has been very selective with whom he has fought, and even though he has fought big names, it’s usually a UFC fighter, or a boxer who is past his prime. Paul has fought 10 times, with his only loss coming against Tommy Fury. Paul the last couple of fights has tried to take on more traditional boxers, and he has found success. Paul’s last fight came against Ryan Bourland on January 30th, and it was a technical knockout in the first round. Paul has proven he has power in his hands, but at some point, he needs to fight a real fighter.
Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul Betting Prediction
Tyson might be 57 years old, but there is still value here. Paul has power in his hands, but taking punches isn’t something he has a ton of experience with. Tyson might not have as much power as he once did, but I still think he has knockout power. A lot of boxers seem to have confidence that Tyson can get a win here, and I am going to trust them. Tyson is going to land of one of his signature punches, and Paul is going to have no answer for it. Back Tyson to get the job done as the underdog.
