Basically 14oz gloves instead of the regular 10oz gloves, 8 rounds instead of 12, and 2 minute rounds instead of 3 minutes.

People are pissed.

What in the FUK??? LOL, they know Tyson is almost 60 and has no chance, want it to look a little less not-competitive LOL. But that is unbelievable. Fuking SUKS.

Wasn't this fight already delayed due to Tyson's health?

 

[Homeslice]

^^^^ Injury or something I think, not his health and him being an old man per-se.

I read he has to pass a brain and a heart scan, i.e. an EEG and an EKG, but that seemed like pretty standard thing that most fighters would have to pass to get cleared to fight.

Seems like an odd reason to delay a fight. Just schedule the scan and do it according to the given schedule.

I think the delay you are inferring to was some health issue he had on a plane

This was never going to be a legitimate boxing match. Hope fans enjoy another glorified sparring match with limited head shots.

^^^^ yeah its sad. They hyped 60 year old Tyson up like he has a shot, but then change the rules because they know he don't. Only a sucker would buy this fight at this point. Might still by it for the heck of it.

New York, Pennsylvania and Colorado are among the seven states that decided not to offer betting action on the fight. A spokesperson for the New York State Gaming Commission told ESPN that the bout wasn't eligible for wagering due to the fight's "non-traditional rules" (two-minute rounds and 14-ounce gloves).

Spokespeople for gaming in Colorado and Pennsylvania echoed that sentiment; Colorado added "that not all fighters are professionally ranked" as another reason, while Pennsylvania added that the number of rounds was also a consideration.

"Given the totality of factors, the decision was made in the best interest of the betting public not to permit wagering in Pennsylvania," a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board told ESPN.

Yes, Texas sanctioned Tyson-Paul, but there are three major caveats

Mike Tyson, 58, is fighting a 27-year-old Jake Paul on Friday. Mike Coppinger reports what this fight actually is and how it was sanctioned in the first place.
