I'd honestly be surprised if Tyson won. Paul's been in amazing shape, and while I can (and do) snark at a lot of Paul Brother antics, neither of them are half-assed in anything they do. Tyson's already had to postpone once because of his health.

If anything, I'd say Paul underestimating Tyson (who's still probably the harder puncher) would be the big thing to look out for.

People seem very excited for this fight, and I can see why. But does anyone else feel like this is a step down for our society? Like a new step in the "bread and circuses" direction?

Sorry if anyone feels judged by that, it is not my intention to judge, but I personally just feel a bit turned off by it, while simultaneously understanding the intrigue.

I feel like Celebrity Boxing from 20+ years ago was way past this on the bread and circuses front. This at least feels like a match between real boxers (even if one's past his prime). If I complain about Tyson boxing, I'd also have to complain about all the folks past their prime the Jets keep starting at QB.

If Tyson can sneak a big punch or two in it could be game over, but Paul probably has better endurance.
