Each Thursday right here at FightHype, I pull out my gigantic, bulbous, bulging sack and provides truth-minded boxing followers a gander. This week, I shoot ropes of reality throughout feedback/questions relating to Jake Paul-Mike Tyson, Bakhram Murtazaliev, and the Charlo Bros.
Jake Paul-Mike Tyson
Magno.
I wince to even convey this up, however what do you consider the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson combat on November 15? As a lot as I’d like to not have an interest within the rattling factor, I’m. It’s clearly not going to be elite world class boxing, however I’m interested in how this performs out and if Tyson’s age is a larger issue than Paul’s lack of talent. For me, proper now, my coronary heart says Tyson, however my head says Paul. What say you?
– Dave from Boston
Hey Dave.
I’d be prepared to wager a fats stack– of Arby’s coupons– that, by the point Jake Paul-Mike Tyson hits the ring (IF it hits the ring), it’ll have been downgraded to an exhibition. There’s already a provision the place the Texas fee could have the best to overview each fighters the day earlier than the combat to evaluate the well being danger, particularly to the 58-year-old Tyson. If there’s even the slightest trace of “Iron” Mike having the sniffles, make sure that steps will probably be taken to make the combat a non-fight. No person within the Texas Division of License and Regulation desires to be held liable for the loss of life of an almost 60-year-old sports activities icon on stay TV.
So, for me, who wins is a moot level. I feel, if it’s modified to an exhibition, they’ll simply flippantly spar as 80% of the viewing public, who doesn’t but understand it’s an exhibition, wonders what the hell they’re watching.
If Paul-Tyson DOES get fought as a “actual” combat, I feel Paul could smother Tyson early on after which play it safety-first the remainder of the way in which in opposition to a winded Tyson en path to a doubtful draw.
Murtazaliev, Famous person?
Hello Paul.
What’s subsequent for Bakhram Murtazaliev after destroying Tim Tszyu on Saturday? Did we see the breakthrough of a brand new star within the sport? There are many massive names at 154 and plenty of paths to the highest of the division. What do you see sooner or later for Murtazaliev?
– L.T.
Hey L.T.
It’s cute how some media “consultants” have been crowing about Murtazaliev and his path to stardom.
Umm, no. Murtazaliev will NOT be a star. We received’t see his furry mug on a Wheaties field or doing a business for Amazon Prime. We in all probability received’t even see him in a real big-ticket fundamental occasion, except the Saudis wish to throw cash at some random Murtazaliev combat that can generate much less buzz than the ninth-consecutive Adrien Broner comeback bout.
That’s not a knock on him or his capacity. That’s simply actuality. Guys like Murtazaliev don’t promote, even when they’ve a longtime file of eye-catching success. Media and followers could marvel at his toughness and the way in which he handled Tim Tszyu, however no person’s shopping for into the Murtazaliev enterprise.
Greater than seemingly, the Tszyu win will get him lined up for a biggish combat, in opposition to somebody a promoter believes can beat him, take his title, and piggyback off his popularity. If he proves to be too powerful for giving the piggyback journey, he’ll almost definitely be prevented altogether.
Sorry. That’s simply the enterprise of boxing at work.
Can The Charlos Come Again?
Hello Paul.
From what I’ve learn, Jermall Charlo is making his return on the Tank Davis card in December. I’ve additionally learn some issues about Jermell being again within the health club and aiming for a comeback quickly. Rather a lot has occurred to solid doubt on each brothers over the previous couple of years and each are on the lowest factors of their careers proper now. Can they make a full or a minimum of partial comeback anymore or will they only be preventing for paychecks till somebody comes alongside to retire them or till they get in bother and wreck themselves?
– Dennis
Hey Dennis.
I don’t assume there’s any “coming again” for both of the Charlos. They’ve each been absolute messes and I don’t see them unscrambling their psyches to 1) Get technically sharp once more and/or 2) Restore their drive to succeed. In the event that they combat on, it’ll be for paychecks and everyone knows that there must be extra to a fighter than competing to pay the sunshine invoice. At the least Jermell acquired his Canelo payoff, although. I’ll be rooting for each as a result of, nicely, the extra the merrier within the higher tier of the game. However I feel they’re carried out.
