Predictions for the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight
Wise analyzed the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight and is leaning toward over 5.5 rounds at -150 odds. As an underdog, Tyson’s best chance of winning would be an early knockout as that is what he has built his career on and it would be a strategic approach given his advanced age. Paul knows this and will use a counter strategy to prolong the fight as long as possible. Wise notes that the YouTuber has improved his skills significantly in this regard, saying, “He’s done a good job of keeping his distance and away from most of the inherent danger” over the last few fights.
Staying at a distance increases the chances of this fight going the distance as neither fighter will be able to land a powerful punch leading to an early knockout. Paul’s recent results support this approach: while all of his first three fights went no later than the second round, six of his last eight fights went over 5.5 rounds. It’s been a while since we’ve seen Tyson in a proper match, but his last pro fight went six rounds, while his 2020 exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr., which also featured eight two-minute rounds, went all the way distance.
