00:00The main event tonight at the star, I believe it's under the light, so no need to worry

00:17about that sunlight or the curtain and Dallas, Joe, we wanted to hear from the people at

00:24sports grid on Twitter.

00:25Did you have an informed opinion on who was going to win this fight tonight between iron

00:30Mike Tyson and Jake Paul?

00:34Most of the public thinks it's Mike Tyson, 67 and a half percent believe it is Mike Tyson.

00:41Joe, we'll talk about the odds in just a moment, but first your synopsis on the FTP poll.

00:47Do you agree with the public?

00:49Are you fading the public?

00:50Is it Mike Tyson or is it Jake Paul?

00:54Well, you know, for somebody that grew up in the, you know, watching Mike Tyson as an

00:5918 year old and an Olympic boxer and the golden, the golden gloves and everything else, of

01:07course, I want Tyson to win this.

01:09But the dude is 58 years old.

01:11There is a 31 year difference between these two fighters.

01:14I will say this.

01:15If you are able to bet this, if you're in a place where it is available to you, understand

01:23what's going on here.

01:24These are not 10 ounce gloves.

01:27They're 14 ounce gloves.

01:28This is not, you know, three minute rounds.

01:31It's eight, two minute rounds.

01:33There's no headgear here.

01:35It is a sanctioned professional fight.

01:37How they got the Texas authorities to, uh, to sanction this is hilarious.

01:43But Jerry's got a lot of polls since it is a Jerry world there.

01:46But just understand what we're dealing with here.

01:49So Jake Paul is nearly 30 pounds heavier than he was in his last fight against Mike

01:54Perry a few months ago.

01:57And that's not a comfortable thing either.

01:59So understand the rules and understand what you're dealing with here.

02:03If you're going to dive in, but, uh, my money will be on Tyson as well as the draw Ben.

02:09Yeah, I think it makes a lot of sense.

02:12As Joe said, it is a sanctioned professional fight somehow, some way, but a couple of those

02:18the rule changes 14 ounce gloves instead of the standard 10 ounce gloves, normally in

02:25a heavyweight bouts, eight rounds, not a full 12, not three minute rounds, but only two

02:31minute rounds in the largest age gap in professional boxing history, 31 years.

02:38Iron Mike is now 58.

02:41Jake Paul is 27 years old.

02:44The tail of the tape between these two, Jake Paul has a 10 and one career record, seven

02:50wins via knockout or T K O iron Mike is 50 and six plus two, no contest.

02:57His last official fight was way back now, nearly two decades ago in 2005 is only fight

03:04since then an exhibition bout against Roy Jones jr.

03:08Back in 2020.

03:10And despite what the public is saying, and despite of course, all of the pedigree with

03:15iron Mike, Jake Paul is the betting favorite at greater than a $2 price at minus two Oh

03:22five.

03:23That's not the most substantial minus money price you will see in a boxing money line

03:28or a head to head, but Jake Paul is the favorite tonight in Dallas.

03:34And listen, he should be, I mean, he's, you know, 31 years a difference here, but I will

03:41say this, uh, this is at least even though he's older, this is a professional boxer and

03:47he hasn't exactly stepped into the ring, Jake Paul with other professional boxers and before,

03:52which means he hasn't exactly gotten hit before.

03:56And even watching the, uh, the preliminary, you know, they did like a Netflix documentary

04:02following these guys through camps and everything else.

04:06And I'm sorry, I 58, not 50.

04:08I am not stepping in front of a Mike Tyson round.

04:11I'm just not doing it.

04:12It looks absolutely horrific then.

04:15So good luck, Jake Paul, because you are going to get hit in this one for the first time.

04:20I think in your professional boxing career or so-called boxing career.
