Former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier predicts that a technique or one other, the boxing fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will end in a knockout.
Whether you find it irresistible or detest it, the upcoming boxing fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will likely be one among the most-streamed sporting events of the yr due to having Netflix as the worldwide distribution partner.
Yet with such an unlimited audience watching from all over the world, there stays a hope (nevertheless slim it could be) that the enduring boxer can turn back the clock to defeat the divisive social media star in dramatic fashion.
UFC legend Daniel Cormier predicts Tyson vs Paul ends in a knockout
Speaking in a recent interview with MMA Junkie Radio, former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier criticized the upcoming Tyson vs Paul boxing event, arguing that he stays cautious about even describing the bout as a ‘fight’ itself.
“I don’t know, I don’t even understand how they’re even calling this a fight – truthfully, I don’t even understand how it’s a fight [at all] … It’s a weird, weird deal but I feel it’ll be fun.”
Despite the ‘weird deal’ occurring with the matchup, DC will still be tuned in to see if Tyson can turn back the clock in a giant way against an expert fighter almost three many years his junior:
“Hell, I’m watching it – it’ll be fun so long as it lasts because anytime ‘Iron’ Mike fights, it doesn’t matter.”
“I feel if Mike Tyson can fight and is free to fight the best way he desires to, he’s either going to knock him out or get caught with something that get him knocked out.”
Yet Tyson’s age will remain a key query all of the technique to the opening bell on July 27, with the fan-favorite UFC fighter-turned-commentator arguing that “it’ll be tough because age [always] wins, right.”
“Father time is undefeated, there’s nothing ever said more true than father time is undefeated and Mike looks great, but let’s see how he operates.”
That was some extent that Cormier touched on back in March when he spoke to Stephen A. Smith on First Take, wherein he reminded fans that Tyson needed assistance in walking out of an arena in 2023:
“I really like that Mike will make his money; I actually do, but to me this is a few baby back BS man… We watched Mike last yr walk right into a UFC event walking on a cane and now you’re telling me a yr after that he’s going to fight Jake Paul – What are we doing?!”
Cormier isn’t the one UFC veteran who’s expecting a dramatic finish
The fan-favorite former champion isn’t the one UFC legend who’s expecting the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul boxing fight to finish in a knockout finish; with a big portion of fellow veterans also siding with ‘Iron’ to get his hand raised in dramatic fashion.
Former two-weight UFC world champion Randy Couture claimed that the one way that Jake Paul wins a legitimate contest with Tyson is that if the ending sequence is scripted:
“I feel he’s [Paul] in trouble with this one unless the fix is in, which I don’t even need to say that because I don’t think Mike would try this. I see Mike going on the market and tearing him up in probably under two rounds.”
‘The Natural’ also went on record to argue that Tyson can be fighting for the sanctity of boxing, on condition that the crossover celebrity events lately have began to sway most of the people’s perception of the game.
“I feel there’s slightly more at stake here for Mike, I feel Mike sees a few of these crossover fights and what’s occurring, and the way that’s affecting boxing and folks’s perception of boxing. For those who take him at his word, he desires to type of straighten a few of that rhetoric out.”
Elsewhere from the world of MMA, Michael Bisping shared how the outspoken American “can’t win” here, as a victory over Tyson can be labeled “elderly abuse”, whilst a defeat will see him banished from the boxing world for good.
“If Jake Paul loses, listen, it’s Mike Tyson, but still come on… He’s 58 years old but stop it [if you lose], never show your face again.”
Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul, supported by Katie Taylor rematching Amanda Serrano within the co-main event of the evening, goes down on Saturday, July 27 continue to exist Netflix.
