Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson predictions and tips with 15/1 treble

An unprecedented event is due to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday night as YouTube-star-turned-boxer Jake Paul faces former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson.

Tyson’s last bout came way back in 2005 and the fact the fighter once known as the Baddest Man on the Planet is making a return has understandably generated huge interest.

Paul comes into the bout as the deserved favourite, but if Tyson is anywhere near the fighter he was in years gone by this could be an incredible event – albeit one that doesn’t have any real ramifications for elite level boxing.

We’ve got the main event covered, details on how to watch and a 15/1 treble with tips from a stacked undercard.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson prediction and fight preview

I would love to see Mike Tyson roll back the years and win by stoppage, but at 58 and after nearly two decades out of the ring there are huge questions hanging over just how much he has left to give.

Jake Paul is the clear favourite and deservedly so. The Problem Child may not be the most technically gifted fighter but he does have a bit of natural talent, he’s a fantastic athlete and he clearly carries some power as he comes into the bout on a run of three stoppage wins – two of which came in the first round.

Ultimately I think Paul will probably win this in the middle to later rounds but without any real conviction, so instead I’ve looked for another betting angle for this match-up.

Tyson has still looked dangerous in work out videos and the pre-fight promotional bits and Paul has never faced anyone anywhere near the level that Iron Mike competed at for nearly 20 years. The former undisputed heavyweight king may not win this – but he has the nous and potentially the power to knock a man down who is a novice in comparison.

Tyson will know his limitations and how far he can go and chances are he’s accepted that beating a younger, fitter man over 10 rounds is unlikely. He’ll still adopt that peek-a-boo style that served him so well for so long, and if he gets his timing right just once he could send Paul to the canvas even if that isn’t enough for a win.

Saturday’s 15/1 Boxing Treble Tip

Mike Tyson To Score A Knockdown

Amanda Serrano To Win By Decision or Technical Decision
Vs Katie Taylor

The main support is a huge rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. Taylor won the first fight but is was incredibly close and Serrano can get some revenge here. Taylor has possibly lost a bit of speed, but Serrano has looked as sharp as ever and opted for a tune-up fight in July (when this contest should have taken place) whereas Taylor has been out of the ring for nearly a year. Neither fighter has ever been stopped and seven of Serrano’s last eight have gone the distance, so take the Puerto Rican to win on points.

Mario Barrios to win by KO, TKO or Disqualification
Vs Abel Ramos

Mario Barrios is defending his WBC welterweight title and this looks a bit of a mismatch. Abel Ramos has three losses in his last five fights and Friday’s bout is potentially his last chance to win a world title. Barrios doesn’t have an incredible stoppage rate (18 KOs in 29 wins) but may get some chances to record an early finish against a fighter who could become desperate and he can take one of them.
