Correct me if I'm wrong, Paul has made his career beating up retired boxers or boxers twice his age, no?

I know he started fighting other influencers his age, but I seem to recall the only time he fought someone younger than him, he lost.

Age is a huge factor in boxing, as much as weight.

The last thing age takes is strength, according to the boxing pros. I really hope Tyson lays him out in round one.

afaik, he professionally fought exactly one boxer whom he lost against.

Oh, exactly. All other matches were exhibitions and not professional competitions. He is a meme boxer, essentially.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

No, they were professional bouts, against way older MMA fighters, not boxers

Is this match gonna be fixed too?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

I don't know, but if I had a gun and he was unarmed, I still wouldn't take a chance trying to take on Tyson. He may be getting old, but he's still a scary beast of a man.

It probably won't even happen. Tyson has ulcers, and recently suffered a flare up that delayed training and the fight's date. My dad suffered from ulcers and doctors were constantly in a scare that he would get a perforated intestine wall. At 65 that was actually what took him out, a fissure killed him in less than a week despite the doctors rushing for an emergency surgery, and he wasn't training to receive punches in the abdomen. When you are old, and Tyson is 57, things take significantly more time to heal, and the intestine is one of the slowest healing tissues in the body, I was told. Too many acids, bacteria, etc. circulating there. No doctor worth their medical title will ever let him train with an ulcer, much less fight.

That's mega shitty. I didn't realize ulcers were so terribly dangerous

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

And the worse of it all, I suspect that it is because of abuse of nonsteroidal anti-inflamatory medicine like Ibuprofen, Advil, and Naproxen. They are usually the first thing forbidden to chronic ulcer sufferers because they cause new ulcers and worsen flare-ups. They are overall really bad for the intestines. My guess is that Tyson's training has put him in a lot of pain and the painkillers gave him this ulcer. He is fantastic and has an extraordinary physique for someone his age, but no one is immune to old age.
