There are various signs that the 56-year-old former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson will not rule out a showdown with the 25-year-old Internet celebrity boxer Jack Paul. Tyson once admitted in a podcast interview ——"Everything is possible", some media even claimed that the Tyson VS Paul battle may be staged at the end of this year.
The focus of hot discussion among boxing fans and the media is that although Paul became a monk halfway, his youth is his greatest asset, so it is unknown whether Tyson, who is nearly sixty years old, can win, especially in a real professional boxing confrontation. The aging Tyson is unable to knock down his opponent early. As the fight progresses, his physical fitness will collapse and he is likely to suffer defeat. If this is the case, it is simply the biggest irony of the sport.
A few days ago, the famous "Boxing Simulation Battle" responded to fans' requests and simulated the process and results of the Tyson VS Paul fight. The computer system set both Tyson and Paul to be 20 years old, and Tyson's weight was set to 220 pounds, setting Paul’s weight at 175 pounds, which is the best weight class for both fighters. At the same time, the system also sets Tyson and Paul as newcomers who have just turned professional boxers. However, the author feels that the programmer who simulated this battle may not understand boxing. Since Tyson is set to be 20 years old, why does he look different from Now he looks the same, except that he has tattoos on his face and a gray beard.
The simulated fight between Tyson and Paul was an 8-round battle, with each round lasting three minutes. What was surprising was that after the game started, neither boxer had a clear advantage, especially Tyson, who actually seemed mediocre in front of Paul. , which is somewhat unjustifiable. Perhaps the simulator made Paul too powerful in order to highlight his talent.
In the second half of the fight, the boxers from both sides fought fiercely at medium and long distances. Both Tyson and Paul staggered each other, but neither one could end the fight with a knockdown. In the end, the two fought fiercely throughout the game, and the three judges unanimously determined that Tyson won 77-75. This process and result were obviously shocking. Some boxing fans ridiculed: Is this Tyson too watery?
I personally think that if the 20-year-old Tyson really faced Paul, especially with the huge advantage of 45 pounds, he could kill his opponent in an instant. It would be impossible to compete with Paul for 8 rounds. Paul persisted for 1 in front of Tyson. The first round was very exciting, but the result of Tyson narrowly defeating Paul in points is more realistic for the 56-year-old Tyson. Maybe Tyson and Paul will really win by points in the current confrontation.
