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 has only been stopped inside the distance twice during his legendary career, so Paul is going to have trouble ending this fight early. On the flipside, Paul has sizable physical advantages due to his age and reach, which will make it equally as challenging for Tyson to record an early knockout.
This is also a unique position for both fighters, as Paul has never fought against a boxing legend, and Tyson is making a return to the ring after many years off. Those factors will encourage both boxers to feel their way into the fight and not go for an early knockout. They are also going to be wearing heavier gloves, giving Wise another reason to expect this bout to last six-plus rounds. See who to pick here.
