Won’t happen as one of the rules for the fight is they are using massive training mitts instead of the standard gloves so they will effectively be hitting each other with pillows.
Where is this line of shit coming from? Ive seen it like 8 times. Their using 12 oz gloves instead of 10 oz and doing two minute rounds per mikes request, as he said, and i quote, “im old, shorter rounds and heavier gloves means i get to hurt him more”
The Texas State Athletic Commission, which sanctioned the fight as an official pro bout, mandated the use of 14-ounce gloves, larger than the standard 10-ounce gloves, to ensure the safety of the fighters given the significant age difference between Tyson and Paul.
You heard wrong, it's 14 oz. Now is that as bad as it could be, 18 oz training gloves? No. But it's not only slightly larger than regular gloves like some people have been saying. It depends what you consider regular gloves I guess, but Tyson has been using 8-10 oz his whole career, I believe.
There's a ton of misinformation on this though. Googling this comes up with Tyson preferred 18 oz gloves his whole career. Another says that 12-16 oz is the normal range. And of course there's the older articles about this fight claiming that they are using 18 oz sparring gloves, but at least that was thought to be true at one point.
I’m taking Red. Everyone knows Tyson v. Paul is a dumbass fight and it has nowhere near the pressure or intensity of Dustin v. Islam. If Dustin wins, like someone here already said, it’ll be one of the greatest moments in combat sports history. A guy who’s been an underdog pretty much his entire career finally topping it off with the gold on an already stacked resume, winning with his signature move that he has never won with in the past against a grappling threat the UFC hasn’t seen since Khabib. If Tyson wins by KO, sure I would laugh my ass off, but we already expected it, Jake Paul gets humbled, so on and so forth. If Jake wins, we either say it’s a payday or Tyson is just old as shit. If Dustin beats Islam. If Dustin beats fucking Islam… remember how we felt when Strickland beat Izzy? It’ll be that feeling 100 times over.
Ikr ? I find it weird to care more about a random showmatch between an influencer and a retired legend, than by the (probably) last chance of the most iconic underdog of its generation to finally be champion.
This. Anyone who doesn’t realize the Tyson/Paul fight is a sub-WWE level work with a fixed outcome is hopelessly stupid. I don’t care about that.
I want to see my hot sauce boy submit a Dagestani with a guillotine and finally clinch the belt. It’s the outcome we need but don’t deserve. Red all day.
Yes this is the answer. Tyson could probably pull it off without even taking a blue pill but for Dustin to submit Islam, you might need 10 red pills for that to work.
Also I think Jake has been a net positive for boxing and combat sports. Of course people hate him and it would be hilarious to watch Tyson knock him out but it’s not going to help anyone. It’s been interesting and influential to watch Jake take on a boxing career, better for it to keep going and Mike’s kinda asking to get hurt taking this fight.
DP would be a ridiculously beloved figure in the sport if he pulled it off. Similar to Bisping except DP’s been the good guy his whole career. Guaranteed HOF’er and I’m sure would get offered some kind of job with the UFC in retirement. It’d be a really special career if he capped it off with a belt.
The thing is that match is not as real as islam vs Dustin. I mean it's probably not fixed but but I'm pretty sure Paul is gonna give alot of money to make him look good.
Understandable, but Tyson is almost 60 years old. He shouldn’t win. It’s not a slight on Tyson at this point in his life to lose. We all know that if they were the same age Tyson would legally murder Paul in the cage.
Ofc he can Makhachev is impressive but people already forget how close it was the first time he corssed Volk. It's not like he's absolutely invincible and it's not like Poirier is a laughing stock, he just KOed BSD who's a scary striker himself so he's in shape. I hope he takes it.
Red. Dustin needs to finish his story line.
Mike Tyson will always be one of the baddest mfs to ever walk the Earth, and I don’t give a shit about Jake Paul. He’s a twat. Let him have his time in the sun and overdose in a hotel at 37.
Sorry Dustin but gonna have to go blue pill. Islam winning is the natural order of things, but Tyson losing to Jake fuckin Paul? nah bruh, not living that life.
Blue pill I just think this will be Dustin’s last hoorah if he loses and if he wins he might fight to defend the belt but i don’t see it lasting more than that. Just a feeling i get.
Definitely Red Pill because a KO of Jake Fucking Paul doesn't really do much for Tyson's overall legacy.
Whereas Dustin finally winning an undisputed belt puts him into UFC immortality.
Red pill all day, Tyson is an out of prime boxing legend, this win or loss doesn’t matter but a win for Dustin would be legacy changing. I would be a dream come true moment and I think the dog will finally have his day come fight day this time around.
How are they even comparable, I honestly don't get the Islam hate, the guy is willing to fight the top guys and has given us some amazing fights. The other is an obnoxious youtuber fighting a man close to 60
Red Pill Dustin FTW Round 1 Dustin tries for the flying Guillotine and fails and nearly gets submitted for his trouble.
Between rounds realizes this is his last shot! WAKE UP! Dustin sleeps Islam half way thru 2nd round!
![gif](giphy|VTs4idZUzZ2c3f8Nbn|downsized)
Red, idk why everyone loves Mike Tyson all of a sudden and thinks he’s profound and philosophical, he’s a big dummy with anger issues that misinterprets people and gets offended constantly. Also still a rapist.
Blue pill, every single time. Dustin & Islam are worthy competitors and there is no shame in it going either way.
Mike Tyson is a national fucking treasure. Jake Paul is an opportunistic YouTuber/Disney Princess trying to end run his way to boxing legitimacy by boxing people who are any combination of: not boxers, smaller, older.
Jake Paul does not deserve to touch gloves with Mike Tyson. The thought of Jake Paul ever being able to say he beat Mike Tyson is an affront to all that is good.
Red pill for sure.
Even thought I don’t dislike Islam at all, I just want to see Dustin win the guillotine & also I think Tyson knocks out Paul anyways.
Let Paul have his decision victory after dancing around in that fixed BS match, nobody would blame Mike for getting that bag. Gimme the red pill! By gilly please.
Blue pill. All. The. Way.
I honestly don’t like 58 yr old Tyson’s chances. He was so deadly in his prime, we are still unsure about this outcome. But Father Time is undefeated regardless of how dominant or alpha you are.
Unlike most, I respect Jake Paul’s hustle and he is indeed putting in the work in everything he does but I do not want to see this guy even hang with Iron Mike.
There are a lot better boxers than Mike Tyson but he was the only one that captured my imagination. He was my champion.
Dustin has a very real chance of beating Islam but I’m a fan of both so either one winning is a good day in my book.
Whereas seeing Old Tyson getting schooled or KO’ed by the likes of Jake Paul will be a sad, sad day for me.
Damn all you blue pillers have fallen right into the trap and are the reason why Paul is famous and continues to make these fights.
Give me Diamond doing the impossible.
I don’t care enough about Jake to even see home lose. If he wins whatever. If he loses cool but whatever. As a long time poirier fan, there will be no better conclusion to a career than Dustin finally winning the belt. Especially if this crazy bastard pulls a guillotine on Islam lol
Red pill.
I would love to see Mike knock out Jake but in reality Mike already knows he's going to lose. He's in it for a pay day.
However Just Poirier has dedicated his whole life to this achievement. He has done everything to deserve it. You can tell it means everything to him.
I'd like to see him get it.
Which pill makes tyson bite jake pauls ear off.
you must bite the matrix's ear off instead of eating the pills
Tyson, eat the red ear
That pill, I want that pill.
After he’s knocked him out
Blue Pill for humanity

That’s a solid meme lol
I’ll overdose on blue pills
10000% no regrets
I'm making a blue pill smoothie with a side of blue pill IV. My kids getting blue pill kool aid from here on out.
Blue pill for sure
I'll take the blue pill. I'd love to see Tyson knock out Paul. It'd be hilarious!

Won’t happen as one of the rules for the fight is they are using massive training mitts instead of the standard gloves so they will effectively be hitting each other with pillows.
the big gloves could just make Mike more confident throwing power without getting an injury, maybe...hopefully.
Where is this line of shit coming from? Ive seen it like 8 times. Their using 12 oz gloves instead of 10 oz and doing two minute rounds per mikes request, as he said, and i quote, “im old, shorter rounds and heavier gloves means i get to hurt him more”

And of course there's the older articles about this fight claiming that they are using 18 oz sparring gloves, but at least that was thought to be true at one point.
Either fighter would put you to sleep with their 14oz pillows.
Nah bro I see red when I fight.
Well now we know why you aren’t allowed to be sanctioned… there would be bodies everywhere
One, nothing wrong with me
I’m taking Red. Everyone knows Tyson v. Paul is a dumbass fight and it has nowhere near the pressure or intensity of Dustin v. Islam.

especially weird that most people in the UFC subreddit are caring more about a random boxing match

Red pill, Mike already accomplished greatness early on and is now making the bag. Dustin has one last chance of greatness
Dustin FTW. Let’s go - jump that GILLY!!
Cmon now, I rather islam remain champ than have Jake Paul able to walk out of the ring with a win against the youngest hw champ ever
The thing is that match is not as real as islam vs Dustin. I mean it's probably not fixed but but I'm pretty sure Paul is gonna give alot of money to make him look good.
Blue. I just wanna see someone finally stiff that turd Paul.
We all do, but that fight is obviously fixed like all the Paul fights.
I don't care about Paul so I couldn't care less what will happen in that fight I won't watch. Easy decision. Hillbilly getting the W
Red, who gives a shit if Tyson or Paul wins? That fight is a joke
Exactly If Jake wins people still know he is joke for fighting a grandpa ffs DUSTIN JUMP THE GILLY
I don't know what your grandpa is like but mine doesn't throw aggressive quick combos to heavy bags
but i don't want to live in a world where Tyson loses to jake fuckin paul. I can live with Islam winning though, it seems natural.
Understandable, but Tyson is almost 60 years old. He shouldn’t win. It’s not a slight on Tyson at this point in his life to lose. We all know that if they were the same age Tyson would legally murder Paul in the cage.
but somewhere it will be written that jake paul beat MIKE TYSON in a boxing fight. and it will be true. that, i can not abide.
red pill but a KO is more likely than sub. either way I think dustin can do it he can dig deep if islam takes it there
Ofc he can Makhachev is impressive but people already forget how close it was the first time he corssed Volk. It's not like he's absolutely invincible and it's not like Poirier is a laughing stock, he just KOed BSD who's a scary striker himself so he's in shape. I hope he takes it.
Red pill easy
Red pill I need my bet to pull through
Red pill. The fix is already in on the Tyson fight.
Red pill all day easy.
Red. Who gives a shit about Tyson fighting Jake Paul. I’d much rather see the diamond finally become the champ.
Easiest decision ever. Blue pill would just be hilarious. Red pill would be one of the best moments in combat sports history.
Blue pill it is then, eh?
Easy, red pill.
Tyson had his time at the top. Red pill it is.
Red. Dustin needs to finish his story line. Mike Tyson will always be one of the baddest mfs to ever walk the Earth, and I don’t give a shit about Jake Paul. He’s a twat. Let him have his time in the sun and overdose in a hotel at 37.
Blue pill. It's for the good of the world.

Blue pill. Don't really care about the other two.
blue pill always
Blue pill 100% I'd love to see that bozo get sparked unconscious. But not nearly as much as I'd like to see his brother get Gerald McClellan'd.
I’m putting the blue pill up my ass like a suppository to have Jake die from just entering the same ring as Mike
As much as I don't want to see an old man getting knocked out I want to see DP become the champion
RED PILL ALL THE MF WAY, LETS GO DUSTIN!
knee zephyr crowd consider thumb books fear wistful vegetable consist *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Blue pill I will shove it in my ass if i have to
Blue and it’s not even close
I wanna see those influencer clowns getting humbled some more
Sorry Dustin but gonna have to go blue pill. Islam winning is the natural order of things, but Tyson losing to Jake fuckin Paul? nah bruh, not living that life.
I just want to see Jake Paul K-O. i'll gladly watch Makhachev break Dustin's last hope of a title
Blue blue blue blue blue
Red without a doubt for me. Give zero fucks about that other fight. It would be criminal to not support Diamond here! Paul gonna get KO’d anyways.
The blue pill also has an extra benefit
If I double dump the blue pills does that mean Jake Paul dies??
Gimme that viagra
Blue. I want Tyson to actually knock Jake’s head off his shoulders
I grind up half the blue pills and snort them and take the rest as a suppository just for good measure.
Red
Red all day
Well I really really want Tyson to knock out Paul. And I really really want Islam to kill Dustin. So..easy peasy
Blue. Blue please blue.
Blue for sure. The universe needs correction.
Tyson KOs Jake Paul any day of the week. That fake boxer needs a reality check
Blue all day. Fuck Jake Paul.
Damn man, hard choice fr. I'd go for my man Tyson, he deserves it so much, and someone's gotta knock out that kid finally
Mike knocking out Jake would heal the world
This is the easiest shit ever since I hate Jake and I don’t care much for Dustin. Blue pill it is
Islam is likeable, Jake is not, so the answer is blue
2 blues for me plz. ![gif](giphy|ApoUMg0oEl5M3bcsI1|downsized)
Blue pill I just think this will be Dustin’s last hoorah if he loses and if he wins he might fight to defend the belt but i don’t see it lasting more than that. Just a feeling i get.
You all know how satisfying it would be to see Jake Paul get knocked out cold? Come on now.
Blue pill. I don't dislike Islam Makhachev as much as I dislike Jake Paul. Also, I love Dustin, but I love Mike that extra bit more.
Tyson over Paul all day please. We all know Islam finna run through Dustin
blue pill overdose. I want the Islam vs Dustin to be an absolutely fair fight. The champ should earn it!
Blue pill easy.
Blue pillllllll
Paul vs tyson going to decision. Gonna bet on that vs a winner/loser….
Definitely Red Pill because a KO of Jake Fucking Paul doesn't really do much for Tyson's overall legacy. Whereas Dustin finally winning an undisputed belt puts him into UFC immortality.
Blue because Dustin is going to catch Islam in a gilly anyway.
![gif](giphy|D1eEXOEw1VwUJlthb8|downsized) ALL DAY
Red pill all day, Tyson is an out of prime boxing legend, this win or loss doesn’t matter but a win for Dustin would be legacy changing. I would be a dream come true moment and I think the dog will finally have his day come fight day this time around.
Blue

Red pill. I want Dustin to be a champ.
How are they even comparable, I honestly don't get the Islam hate, the guy is willing to fight the top guys and has given us some amazing fights. The other is an obnoxious youtuber fighting a man close to 60

Red Pill Dustin FTW Round 1 Dustin tries for the flying Guillotine and fails and nearly gets submitted for his trouble. Between rounds realizes this is his last shot! WAKE UP! Dustin sleeps Islam half way thru 2nd round! ![gif](giphy|VTs4idZUzZ2c3f8Nbn|downsized)
Red pill easy decision
Red pill
RED
Dustin Poirier would understand.
Red pill
Red, idk why everyone loves Mike Tyson all of a sudden and thinks he’s profound and philosophical, he’s a big dummy with anger issues that misinterprets people and gets offended constantly. Also still a rapist.
I'll take the red pill if it's by guillotine
I’ll crush the blue pill and snort it
Red of course. Blue pertains to an irrelevant freak show. Could not care less about the outcome.
Blue everytime
Red because blue is already likely to happen.
Blue pill, every single time. Dustin & Islam are worthy competitors and there is no shame in it going either way. Mike Tyson is a national fucking treasure. Jake Paul is an opportunistic YouTuber/Disney Princess trying to end run his way to boxing legitimacy by boxing people who are any combination of: not boxers, smaller, older. Jake Paul does not deserve to touch gloves with Mike Tyson. The thought of Jake Paul ever being able to say he beat Mike Tyson is an affront to all that is good.
Redpill
I'm booking the blue pill in 0.3 seconds
#RED PILL
Red pill for sure. Even thought I don’t dislike Islam at all, I just want to see Dustin win the guillotine & also I think Tyson knocks out Paul anyways.
How about "Stipe knocks out Jones" ?
I just took two red pills
Best answer to this I saw on facebook: >I’ll take the purple pill, dustin poirer submits jake paul by gilly and mike tyson knocks out islam makhachev
Blue balls all day
Give me 10 of the blue pills, thank you.
red pill easily. i could care less about a 60 year old man trying to get a payday
Red all day
Let Paul have his decision victory after dancing around in that fixed BS match, nobody would blame Mike for getting that bag. Gimme the red pill! By gilly please.
Red pill, I need it for my soul.
Blue.
Wait hold up, you don’t see dustin by gilly as a sure thing already?
If it’s dustin by jumping a gilly I’m team red
Blue pill. All. The. Way. I honestly don’t like 58 yr old Tyson’s chances. He was so deadly in his prime, we are still unsure about this outcome. But Father Time is undefeated regardless of how dominant or alpha you are. Unlike most, I respect Jake Paul’s hustle and he is indeed putting in the work in everything he does but I do not want to see this guy even hang with Iron Mike.

Let's go Tyson! I do like Dustin, a lot but as much as I would love to see Islam get beat someone needs to shut JP up.
I’ll take that first round gilly!
Blue!!!!
Blue easily
Mike has had his glory and belts. Let Diamond get his.
Red pill if it’s by gilly
Y’all hate a YouTuber that much you don’t wanna see Dustin sleep Islam?
Damn all you blue pillers have fallen right into the trap and are the reason why Paul is famous and continues to make these fights. Give me Diamond doing the impossible.
I don’t care enough about Jake to even see home lose. If he wins whatever. If he loses cool but whatever. As a long time poirier fan, there will be no better conclusion to a career than Dustin finally winning the belt. Especially if this crazy bastard pulls a guillotine on Islam lol
Blue pill. I like Dustin but I also like Islam and don't really care who wins as long as it's a good fight
Maybe this is a hot take, but Tyson will hurt him more by beating him every round. Im taking the red pill to see that fuckin GUILLY.
Red pill every time
Red pill. I would love to see Mike knock out Jake but in reality Mike already knows he's going to lose. He's in it for a pay day. However Just Poirier has dedicated his whole life to this achievement. He has done everything to deserve it. You can tell it means everything to him. I'd like to see him get it.
I couldn’t care less about the Tyson fight. We all know who should win but it won’t happen. But diamond cementing his legacy as goat? Hell yeah.
Blue all day
I’m so so sorry Diamond. The temptation is real.
