Mike Tyson is arguably one of the top boxers of all-time. Tyson will enter the boxing ring for the first since 2005 when he takes on Jake Paul on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. Tyson vs. Paul on Netflix was originally scheduled for July, but was postponed after Tyson suffered a medical incident. Tyson, 58, is far more experienced than the 27-year-old Paul, who is 10-1 in his professional boxing career. The age gap is certainly a factor to consider before locking in your Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul bets. This sanctioned heavyweight fight features modified rules, including eight two-minute rounds and heavier 14-ounce gloves than the traditional 10-ounce gloves normally used.

Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul predictions
Wise has analyzed the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson bout and is leaning Over 5.5 rounds at -150 odds. Tyson is pushing 60 years old, so he'll have to be methodical in the early rounds to avoid exhaustion. Paul will also have to take into account Tyson's power, which means it could take some time for both fighters to get in a flow.
Paul knows that youth is in his favor, likely giving him the advantage to outlast Tyson in the later rounds. Wise points out that Paul has "done well to stay at distance and away from much of the danger on the inside" and those skills should help him avoid a crippling blow from Tyson in the early rounds. Plus, Paul's fights have gone over 5.5 rounds in six of his past eight bouts, a big reason why Wise is comfortably backing the Over at -150 odds. See who to pick here.
