Oscar De La Hoya CONCERNED for Mike Tyson fighting Jake Paul! 

Funny how everyone wants a piece of Mike @ age 60. When the Champ was in his 20's - Tuff Guys were Petrified of him. Let Mike grow-old gracefully and enjoy his Senior years. He is . . . and will-always-be = "The Baddest Man on the Planet". Team Tyson 4-Life !!! oNe LovE from NYC

These exhibition fights are getting out of hand. The whole sport of boxing is becoming like the WWE. Just a circus

I watched a clip of Mike training, he looks good. Still shows crazy power, if he connects, Jake's in trouble.

The only issues Oscar has with this fight is he didn’t bring it together and get his cut!!!

Did anyone ever think celebrity death match would actually become a thing?

This is why this fight makes no sense why would Mike Tyson a legend a boxing hero for generations that people no and love go against a RU-vid boxer that hasn’t fought nobody real and is a mockery to the sport ? And could possibly rigged this fight for money ?? Tyson better beat this dude or he killing his legacy for a fucking Disney channel star like Jake Paul that shit is ridiculous

Mike is going to teach his ass a lesson i hope Mike shows him all 4 corners of the ring have you seen how Mike moves at 57 no joke straight legendary no matter what

Like Toby Keith said I ain't as good as I once was but I'm as good once as i ever was...

Tyson was my childhood boxing hero, and will always be a legend.

Boxing has rankings. For Jake to even step up with the pros means he has to start from the bottom. Jake going straight up to the top with mediocre skills is like having a rich family privileged.

I love Hoya's answer.....if he wanted to take it serious he would of never been on tik tok and just earned it in the ring on the come up. The real sad part is this is so beneath Tyson and I know some people think these types of fights are real boxing and they are just cash grabs.

Even if Tyson only has say, 2/3 of his prime punching power, he'll still be hitting harder than anyone Logan Paul has ever faced. Foreman was knocking out serious fighters in his late forties, and Tyson has been a lean, healthy man for most of his life. Watch Tyson's fight against Roy Jones a few years ago; he still has serious power and decent endurance. Either he carries Paul to make a show of it, or he lays him out in the first round.

Mike hasn’t posted on his podcast in months I think Jake Paul is the one we should be worried about lol

Tyson knows what he is doing. He has been working out for years getting back into shape. It's not like he has been sitting on his couch doing nothing. He may not have the power he used to have but he is still dangerous.

Chicano from East Los Angeles checking in. I am NOT a big fan of De La Hoya but I do respect his accomplishments. I absolutely agree with him on his take of this "fight".

Tyson is a living legend however his ability and more importantly punch resistance, left him over 20 years ago. Seeing Mike Tyson knocked out by a RU-vidr is a circus and something which boxing should not allow. Nearly as bad is a 8 round show-fight where neither fighter hits the other hard, so as to both finish standing. If Tyson knocks Paul out, what have we learned? As a boxing fan I'm not interested in this at all and will not be watching. Paul is using Tyson's name to make a fortune and he hasn't earned it!!

He’s 57… Win or lose, it doesn’t matter. Tyson is a LEGEND. He’s got the balls to get in the ring at his age where no one else would. He’s earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants. Boxing isn’t what it used be. So I’m happy to at least see one of the greats back at it again.

Celeb or not its a respect and for him to even fight a legend like mike at his age is disrespectful

Paul will pay for his hubris, even if he ends up winning, he will never forget the way Tysons punches felt smashing his face and ribs in like a piledriver.

I guarantee you Jake is watching every video to learn Tyson. It's a 50/50 none of us knows what's gonna pop off! I do believe they're doing it for the money, period. I am a Tyson's fan since I was a little girl.

Mike Tyson at 57 is like a diesel truck hitting 100k miles

Tyson is a beast. Always will be. He has lost fights and won many. If he loses, it's because of his age. If he wins, it's his skill. Legends never die. Tyson wins regardless.

Oscar wanted to fight Vitor Belfort two years ago. Covid saved him from Holyfields fate.

Jake Paul's career will END in July .. the dude is a fool for taking this fight. Tyson at 60% is in a Class well above Paul's maximum potential.

I've seen Tyson train Ngannou and from the way he moves, i still pick him to put Paul in the dirt...

After losing to Tommy Fury Jake knew it was no longer serious, he's not good enough to be a real boxer, he's a celebrity boxer thats his lane..

The only thing I disagree with Oscar on is Mike Tyson being able to go 6 or 8 rounds still at 58 years old. He was basically out of gas after 4 rounds 25 years ago when he was still an active fighter, leading to him getting beat on and going down in his last few fights. Lennox beat the crap out of him for 8 rounds, keep in mind he was totally out of that fight by round 4 and I don't know what kept him going unless it was him realizing that it would be the very final time he would ever fight for a belt. After that, Danny Williams pounded him out in 4 rounds, and Kevin McBride exhausted him to the point that Mike quit on his stool. And that was when he was a much younger man in his late 30's. Since then, he has dealt with decades of alcohol abuse and has smoked and done drugs, and I mean with all due respect there's no way his cardio situation is as "good" as it was when he was a young man who trained like a warrior still. Mike still has crazy power and I'm sure he still has a good chin, but I think that if this fight is sanctioned as a pro fight and not a pretend / WWE exhibition, Mike will be in a lot of trouble if it goes longer than 3 or 4 rounds. I think Mike knows this and that's why he is going to come out blitzing with everything he has left at 58 years old and hopefully for the final time ever. I do not want to see an exhausted Mike Tyson being KO'd by a youtuber after taking unnecessary punishment at 58 years old. I also don't want to see him absolutely destroyed like Evander Holyfield when he got KTFO by Vitor Belfort.

Preach🎉

I don't think it takes away from his legacy if Mike loses. It doesn't change what he did for the sport. His legacy is set in stone as far as I'm concerned.

Jake can win the fight if he run from Mike Tyson and jab all day. But if Mike catch him one time. You gonna know the difference between the professional boxer and a RU-vid boxer.

These guys need to do the hard yards through the ranks like everyone else,this is a huge slap in the face for the hard working boxers trying to climb the ranks.....so sad

It won’t effect Tyson’s legacy. He’s an old man now. I just hope that he doesn’t get hurt b/c Paul is going to try to knock his block off & I don’t think Tyson will be able to last if it goes past 4 rounds. He doesn’t have the stamina.

Oscar is 100% speaking truth

Oscar you fought Shaq you started it. 😭🤣🤣🍻

How many rounds is the fight? That will be key 🗝

Finally the man tells it like it is. Massive respect for just telling it straight up

Tyson is 57 years young, and experienced, the fight w might not even last a full round, trust me

Sad to see our legends go out like this

I think they'll be wearing head gears. God bless both.

I heard there was a no knock out clause in the contract.. does anyone know if thats accurate?

Oscar promoted Tito vs Chuck LOL

Well, this is the kind of garbage we get-- because the pros- for the longest time- simply refuse to pit the best vs the best anymore. It’s all about ducking and cherry-picking opponents and waiting people out. Pro boxing has no one to blame but itself for this new age of spectacle garbage

100 % agree Oscar, very articulate in what you said and I hope Tyson makes this young upstart know that he is to be respected.

Thank you man. I feel exactly the same way. I agree and understand what you feel. Im hoping there's no more of this kind of thing. It doesn't promote the true art of being a champion fighter... Could say more but won't.... Iron Mike Tysooooooonnnn...

Boxing's the new WWE now. 💯

Tyson is not getting knocked out trust me.

I have to agree with Oscar. Mike looks impressive for a 57 or 58 year old guy. But HE'S A 57 OR A 58 YEAR OLD GUY 😢😬😬

De la hoya what happened to the Vitor fight?

Tyson needs the money. Aint no 2 ways about it. That being said, I hope Tyson knocks that boy out.

Tyson staying safe would be going out and putting jake to sleep with the 1 2 combo lol

"I don't think if Tyson wasn't in top physical shape, doubt if he would be returning to box at any level."

Imo the best heavyweight ever . The most exciting when he was on his game . No one gets close

This shouldn't happen

Tysons NOT getting knocked out THAT much we can all agree on lol

Exactly Such a disrespect to the legacy of Tyson.

Concerned for Tyson’s legacy ? Not a chance He will always be the biggest monster of boxing. Go Mike !

Bivol or Artur would destroy jake

The best current cruiserweight is Jai Opetaia and he would demolish both Paul brothers one after the next.

Tyson has nothing left to prove already & owes Paul no favors. Bone density degrades at 30-40 years old & older let alone 60 y/o, why take the risk of serious injury or damage your legacy which ultimately is what all that work was for, with respect.

If this fight was under Golden boy, Oscar would be all for it.

Balboa was 59 when he fought Antonio Tarver nearly in his prime. 🤷‍♂️

Wise words...soo sad for the Sport of Boxing

It's just so simple: it's not sport, it's entertainment. Paul is not a boxer, he's a youtuber.

20 years ago a young guy fighting a guy almost 60 would be unthinkable. The legacy is important. But watching tyson train and fight with rjj he's really still there. Just terrifying speed and power still. If he can keep his legs, he will beat the breaks off this guy. A lot of people have mentioned holyfid getti g dropped by a nobody. But if you look at his training and sparring, the guy just wasnt there. And it was light years away from seeing tyson doing the same. Tysons drive and work ethic has always been his biggest strength. With modern medicine like hgh and testosterone replacement really changes things. He's not the 57/58 years like most would think. Tysons a unique specimen. Theres few boxers in history that could or would do this fight. But mikes one of the few that could do it, legitimately.

Oscar is spot on 🎯

I love how and what he say about'

Same hyped up bs before Tyson's last exhibition fight and not one real punch was thrown.

Tyson cant lose and in this fight he will not

Tyson was a lion king of the jungle. It’s in his heart to fight. His legacy can never be tarnished in anyway even if he’s defeated at his age. ❤ 💪🏽

yes

I’m sorry even at 57, one good hit from Tyson to Jake Paul, and dude is out,,have you even watched any Tyson training videos,,he’s still a beast!

That's what these old timers like Oscar don't understand it is a popularity contest now. I'm a old-timer myself and I realize how the game is changed compared to what it was before. Social media. It's not about being the biggest badass it's about who gets the most attention.

Tyson is going to Destroy Jake Paul !!! Oscar.

Exactly

Someone is going to seriously get hurt or killed. Boxing isn't a game, people have died in the ring before. Francis just got viciously knocked out by Anthony Joshua, boxing is not a game. People have gotten destroyed physically, mentally, emotionally etc...

I hope Tyson puts on the mindset that made him. A stone cold knockout machine! He's gotta be willing to die in that ring and deliver viciousness, not be bought off and half ass this

Tyson will destroy and end this clown social media circus.

I think the longer it goes, the worse it would be for Tyson as his age will have wither him down quicker. His best chance will be in the first 1 or 2 rounds, it seems he still has some of his legendary power in his training videos. The issue will be stamina. My prediction is either Tyson wins by TKO in the first 1-2 rounds, or Paul wins if the fight goes the distance.

Mike Tyson is going to destroy Jake Paul

Jake had his hands full with Tommy and Mike is a whole nother level...

This reminds me of Rocky movie, when he's comes out of retirement,and Tyson was in that movie.

Any man in his 20s that would fight a man nearly 60 is shameful I certainly won't be watching this circus

He concerned for his own fighter Ryan at all?

IDK man, the footage of Mike training looks like he still has speed and power.

All valid points just because you live in someone else's shadow doesn't mean you have to destroy that shadow embrace the people who paved the way and made you who you are don't destroy their legacy respect it and honor them

Nothing to worry about.

“IM A PUREST” 🧂 -Oscar

I love that De La Hoya is a promoter and could easily capitalize by jumping in this because he's a legend but... he's a pursuit and has real passion for the sport and doesn't want to see it diminished

It just sounds like crossing boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed

well said... if He want be the best why not fight with boxers from his range of age. So conclusion for my thoughts.. if you don't know what is about - you know what it is about😅

I gotta agree with what he said

He's aging so well, like a fine poetry of wine in motion.

I agree. Mike shouldn’t be doing this imo

I was hoping he woulda asked Atlas whom he thought would win the bout .

Any commission that approves this boxing match is bogus as it sounds your not fooling anyone and what real fighter would fight a senior citizen

Roy Jones Jr was asked after their fight how it felt to get in the ring with Tyson . Jones said something along the lines to .".Even though it was an expedition , thats still Mike Tyson . Those shots hurt" . ..And we all saw Tyson pulling his punches .

There are two major concerns for Tyson. First is the strong possibility of a sub-dural Hematoma. Shrinking of the aging brain can cause contusion under impact. However, endemic dehydration, which exacerbates loss of brain volume, can lead to brain stem trauma under repeated impact, or one powerful jolt. A person can feel perfectly normal for weeks, while fluid is accumulating, then emergency surgery must be performed within hours.

Tyson fighting is bad and i just hope nothing bad happens to him . He is my only concern . Bob M .

Oscar D. You wont even lasts first round with Mike Tyson 😂

If Tommy Fury can beat Jake Paul, then Mike can do it blindfolded with one arm behind his back.
