Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul is a bizarre spectacle that we would like to ignore, but we can’t

Editor’s Note: The following article is a column and the views expressed are those of the creator. Read more opinions on Grio.
YouTube sensation Jake Paul vows to knock out Mike Tyson. Such bravado is typical at media events to hype up a boxing match, often followed by fighters standing inches apart and observing one another before one shoves or throws a punch. Tyson and Paul jokingly shoved and jabbed at one another Sunday after promoting their November fight, previously scheduled for July but postponed when Tyson suffered a flare-up of ulcers. The former heavyweight champion says he has fully recovered and resumed training a few weeks ago. “It’s happening,” he said on press conference in New York. “I’m ready.”
Paul promised Tyson to “end his boxing career” and “punish him like a son,” calling him an “old son of a bitch.”
Which brings us to the guts of the issue: This officially sanctioned match could find yourself tantamount to elder abuse before it’s even over.
Tyson is 58 years old, and his last official fight got here in 2005, when he missed the bell within the seventh round and lost by TKO to an unheralded boxer. “Iron Mike” has been rusty since then, having fun with retirement, apart from an exhibition in 2020. fought to a draw against the legendary Roy Jones Jr. – then 51 years old – in a somewhat exciting match that was not serious but nevertheless attracted attention.
Tyson vs. Paul is begging to be called an “exhibition fight.”
It has the terrifying feel of a carnival spectacle where extraordinary people do extraordinary things. But it’s going to be real, not for show, with a rating on each fighter’s profession record. We’ll be watching 27-year-old Paul, with brutal knockout power, fight a man twice his age, yet the previous baddest man on the planet. The fighters will exert maximum effort and damage, throwing “blows with bad intentions“, as Tyson would say when he was the undisputed heavyweight champion (1987-1990).
Whether his body is up to the duty, Tyson’s attitude stays the identical. He has at all times been direct at his best, intent on punching his opponents in the pinnacle. “I’m going to blow you away,” he told Paul on Sunday, suggesting his night would be “very painful.”
Sports
This risk is a part of the sport of combat, graphically illustrated in mixed martial arts and well understood in boxing. We’ve seen Tyson on the receiving end of an attack – notably crawling with a swollen eye while feeling his mouthpiece against Buster Douglas 34 years ago. Paul wasn’t born yet, but he’s grown into a man who can knock his opponents to the bottom as soon as his punches land. If he hits Tyson in the pinnacle excellent, or often enough, it won’t matter if Mike is 48, 38 or 28. If he were 58, the scene would be even uglier.
Paul has gained fame and fortune — 20 million YouTube subscribers and a reported $40 million for the fight — by winging favoritism on social media, mostly against former MMA fighters and other influencers. With a 10-1 record, he’s trying to outdo the paying boxers for a title shot. It’s a big-game hunt for Paul, who wants Tyson’s head on the wall. Rooting against a YouTuber is easy, but not something to take evenly.
Fans and media might imagine Paul is a joke, but Tyson sees him as a fighter, by definition, a threat. “That’s what I’ve learned in 58 years of experience,” he said Tuesday. on ImPaulsive podcast. “Anyone can kill you. In my life and the way I’ve lived… you should be afraid of everyone.”
I hope nobody dies. Seriously.
The gloves will probably be 14 ounces, larger than usual, and the rounds will probably be shortened from three to two minutes. The special rules could help Tyson, who can worry less about endurance and conserving energy within the scheduled eight rounds. Instead, he can try to recapture the fast-paced series of punches and furious mixtures that made him the youngest heavyweight champion in 1986. Judging by training clipsjust like his performance in “Hangover“Mike still has it.
But looking good against a heavily padded coach is not the identical as facing a 200-pound slugger. I’ll be pleased if Paul’s face hits the canvas, but what ought to be a spectacle can turn for the more serious within the blink of a watch.
‘I don’t desire the last item I remember about Tyson to be him getting knocked out by a YouTuber,’ former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder said told Sportsbook Review“People can get hit in the wrong place at the wrong time. There are a lot of examples of guys getting hit in a coma. He’s too old for that. At the end of the day, nobody cares about Mike.”
Especially not the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations, which has sanctioned the fight as a fully skilled bout. This will probably be a bizarre spectacle that is hard to ignore.

ICEM: Tracee Ellis Ross’s Blunt Ponytail and more – essences

@traceeellisross / Instagram
Warm or cool? Dark or blonde? The celebrities have been divided over the past week, which caused their argument for a lot of beautiful appearances to see what sticks. From the tonal division into eye shadows to a tie between blunt cutlets and hair extension, the most effective moments existed in indecision.
While Jorja Smith and Alva Claire decided to, respectively, on a denim and stone cold eye shadow, red lip of Ayo Edibir, blushing and brown bob suited her warm disposition. Very long ARI Lennox water waves mean long blond hair (combined with small pink makeup).
On the opposite hand, Tracee Ellis Ross and the star Essence March/April Tyra Banks was consistent: blunt and raw cuts are an unexpected trend this season. But Rihanna, noticed at Fenty Beauty, meeting in Paris, preferred to stay classic. Her powdered under the eyes combined with a standard lip: a dark insole and a brand new one Gloss bomb lip oil In “Rose Amber”.
If you missed this, have a look at the 11 best moments of the great thing about celebrities from the week.

Mara Brock Akil wants to make a movie “Girls” – only needs financing
Until now, the cultural trace of the story of Mara Brock Akil is undeniable. Her latest series, “Forever”, had all of us in our feelings last weekend (including this creator). But for fans of her earlier work “Girlfriends”, “Love Is” and “The Game” there’s also also also one query that never disappears: Will we ever receive the precise sending for ladies “girls”?
Apparently Akil wants it as much as we do.
In a recent seat in “Sherri” Akil said she was trying to revive the movie “Girls”
“I want to tell this story … I want to write an epic film (” Girls “); I tried to tell this story, “Akil admitted before I revealed that its biggest road blockade on this project was financing.
“So I have a good idea for us now,” she added. “Where is your phone? Do you know someone who has $ 50 million on your phone? Do we have five people who have $ 10 million? Do we have 10 million (people) who have five?”
Considering what variety of viewers Akil loves the work, social media users were shocked, hearing that the creator of “girls” is trying to get financing their projects.
“From the CV Mara Brock Akil should not be begging you to invest in her stories. This is crazy,” commented one user About the actual fact.
“If sex and city got two spinoff films, we can finish girls, someone will open their wallet” Another user wrote on Twitter.
While Shepherd was joking about “handing over the album” to finance the film, she also emphasized how difficult it’s to get projects in Hollywood, even throughout the case of essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably the most respected names in the game. The premiere of “Girlfriends” in 2000 and ran for eight seasons, giving us 172 episodes with the participation of Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, Jill Marie Jones, Persia White and Reggie Hayes. The program suddenly stopped in 2008 through the writers’ strike, leaving too many unanswered fans about Joan, Toni, Maya, Lynn and William.
Still, Akil didn’t lose hope. And she didn’t lose gratitude for the fans base, which stays to be going to history.
“I really want to thank the audience because you didn’t let go and (I),” Akil added.
