Transcripts
the jogan experience you don't look like
no Tyson at 58 though right no no he was
much slower but George was always kind
of slow he just has thunderous power he
was never like a real fast guy like Ali
or any of those other guys he was just
thunderous ridiculous power George was
just terrifying and I don't know the ins
and outs of boxing but is this Logan
Paul is he a is he a legitimate boxer a
legitimate boxer yes people mocked me
when I was saying that before but now I
think people are coming around and the
way I look at it I say if this kid was
not a YouTuber if he wasn't some guy
that you knew from the time he was like
16 years old on YouTube and you just saw
him box and you saw him knock out former
UFC Champions you saw him beat
legitimate boxers or beat athletes and
beat a bunch of MMA fighters you'd go
this kid can [ __ ] fight he knows how
to fight like it's not it's not nothing
he's doing looks wrong he's not like
sticking his head straight up in the air
and winging punches with his eyes closed
he's fighting well he looks good and if
he was just an upand coming Boxer that
was this exciting like highly promotable
like really good at selling fights he'd
be like this kid's the future he's
really something special and the fact
that he's willing to fight Tyson even if
Tyson's
57 just the fact that he's willing to
actually take a chance at Mike Tyson not
being able to do what he used to do cuz
that's what he's doing the the gamble is
like there's not a [ __ ] chance in
hell that Jake Paul would survive
against the Mike Tyson that beat Marvis
Frasier you ever watched that fight yeah
that's my favorite Mike Tyson fight
because that was Mike Tyson before he
won the title it was ABC Wide World of
Sports and Joe Frasier was had been
talking [ __ ] about Tyson that if he was
in his prime he' beat Tyson and so he
had his son fight Tyson and it was an
execution
it was an execution is that the one in
Atlantic City where it lasted one round
one round let's let's watch it because
it's one of my favorite fights to watch
Tyson because it's Tyson in his prime
where he was [ __ ] terrifying he was
so fast and he would do angles and he
was bobbing and weaving you couldn't hit
him and he was just coming at you and he
was young he was 20 years old at the
time he he was he couldn't be stopped no
one had the solution and I submit that
that Mike Tyson the Mike Tyson that won
the title against Trevor berbick the
Mike Tyson that beat Larry Holmes I
think that Mike Tyson is the best
heavyweight of all time I don't think
anybody [ __ ] with him he just he didn't
maintain that form and he wed up losing
to Buster Douglas and you know it's I
look at Fighters when they're in their
absolute prime like what what did you
what have you ever seen that was better
than this and with Mike Tyson I've never
seen anybody better I've never seen any
fighter even Ali in his prime even Ali
when he was Cash's clay I never saw
anybody who looked like Mike Tyson in
his prime I think it just you can't
maintain the kind of focus that was
required to be this guy look at I mean
Marvis looks [ __ ] terrified and he
should
be because he kind of knows I mean
Marvis was a good
fighter Marvis was a good fighter but
this is just a terrifying mismatch like
if I had if I was a Vegas oddsmaker I
would put this at a million to one I'm
like he has to break his leg like he has
to fall down and twist an ankle like
otherwise he's so Tyson was 20 and
Fraser was
25 so do you think this is this is the
last we see of a guy like a Tyson is
there another Tyson out there or is it
they can always emerge Combat Sports
always so this is the beginning of the
fight look he's just moving forward and
Fraser is just trying to just Bob and
weave and find his openings but
Mike never gives you any time man he
never gives you any time he's always
right in front of you and he's just
measuring you and it's just a matter of
time before he catches you and here it
is B look at this oh wow oh wow I bro he
just puts him away just puts him away
it's an execution it was just a matter
of Mike Tyson closing the distance this
Mike Tyson as fast as he was as hard as
he hits I maintain he's the
greatest yeah I mean the greatest
heavyweight ever like like that Mike
Tyson those fights were you wanted to
see executions you didn't think anybody
was going to beat him everybody he
fought looked like they were about to
die when they were in that ring I don't
I don't I don't think we see this again
Joe you never know it can happen Jake
Paul's favored he's a favorite yeah well
he's 27 years old and he's a really good
boxer he's a he's a very good boxer like
he's a legitimate professional boxer he
fought Tommy Fury who's also a
legitimate professional boxer a real
good one he's you know he's um Tyson
Fury's younger brother and he lost a
close decision but it was a good fight a
real good fight against a good fighter
he can fight yeah but if that Mike Tyson
from Marvis Frasier fought Jake Paul
Jake Paul's dead he's dead he's not
gonna make it so you have to say how
much has Mike Tyson lost from that
20-year-old guy in the 37 years since
then which is CRA it'll be 38 by the
time they fight he'll have turned 58 by
the time they actually fight yeah but
that's the best it gets right the best
it gets best it gets 37 years you got to
feel like it's it had you know yeah he's
lost some but he has lost everything he
hasn't lost everything if you see him
hit those pads AB he has not lost
everything but he's lost some but coming
from the best he's now like maybe just
normal right he's still not normal but
he's still like a professional
heavyweight boxer he's he's still
terrifying no I'm not I'm not I'm not
saying he's not but I'm just saying even
even coming off the best I still think
he he wins you coming off it's hard to
say because you never bet on against a
27y old fighting a 58y old get I just
what I have in my brain and I can't get
out is that you know what I'm saying
like it's also his mind you know like
Mike Tyson's mind has switched over into
war like he was doing this interview and
um someone said to him he goes he goes
you look like you're in your 20s like
what are you and he goes I just eat raw
meat he I eating raw meat he goes you're
eating raw meat he goes yeah I'm eating
raw meat he goes because that's what I'm
going to eat when I fight I'm GNA eat
him it's raw meat yeah see I like Jesus
Christ he's in this [ __ ] mode he's in
that God of War mode and that he still
got that in him and I'm telling you if
you keep giving that guy hormones and
you keep giving that guy supplements and
you keep and he's constantly training
here this look at this what are you
eating raw meat like seriously Mike
you're eating raw meat are you are you
swallowing it or remember you used to
spit that stuff out I'm might have to
eat it now because my opponent's going
to be raw meat that's right did you 20
years now now I saw the beginning of
this interview where he had a shirt on
right and he was sweating so much he had
to take the he took his shirt off and
they just put the microphone on his
shoulder yeah bro he's in Savage mode
right now he's in Savage mode I if I was
Jake Paul right now I would be [ __ ]
my pants Oh bro if I if I'm fighting
this guy and he and I see he's eating
raw meat I call the [ __ ] thing off
it's all it's all the experiences that
he has had as a conqueror you have to
take those into consideration when a man
has smashed men before just smashed men
like when no one can stand in front of
him that is in his mind still that's in
there there's a dark chamber in his mind
that he can open up yeah and I think
he's got it open the question is can his
body move along with it but that part of
his mind like you're clearly seeing he's
terrifying when he's in the zone I
changed the shape of the table because
of him this table was uh we we had uh
the table that was this size at the old
studio and that the new studio I was
like maybe we'll make the table smaller
it'll be more intimate it'll be closer
to the guest so we had Mike Tyson in
when he was 300 lb and he was just
eating and having fun and smoke and weed
he goes I don't even work out he goes if
I work out it'll excite myself it'll
excite my ego and then I I don't like
that person so he just decided that he
was just going to be chill Mike Tyson
and then he got this offer to fight Roy
Jones Jr yeah so he gets an insane shape
and the next time I see him the second
podcast we do Mike now weighs 230 PBS
and he's got these muscles in his
forearms so he's sitting there and he's
a different human he's so intense that I
was like if this table was closer to him
I would be nervous like I wouldn't be
able to do my best job as a podcaster I
literally this the reason why this table
is this width is the second podcast I
did with Mike Tyson even Jamie when when
Jamie when Mike left Jamie was like
that's a different person that's a
totally different person right I was
nervous the whole time I was so glad I
was close to the
[Laughter]
dooring he so intense he was so intense
that was a fight with Roy Jones Jr where
he just decided you know to have one
more Legends fight and he got like look
at him dude he's just what the hell what
do you mean getting excited raw me
seriously Mike oh you got both things
playing at the same time hold on a
second had animosity towards so when you
finally get your hands on them hey
um what does it means um when fighting
get you get you erect what does that
mean it's a good question gee means
you're getting excited yeah so that
that's going through your mind right now
well that's how I get when I was a kid
and I you know sometimes I get the
twinkle the twinkle yeah well that's
what I'm saying it's like you reached a
state as a human being as a champion as
a ferocious fighter you reached a state
of of ability and of accomplishment that
very few humans will I don't know if you
can hear him breathing he's breathing
it's like it's like a li running when
you're hitting the bag when that heart's
beating again and CU I'm firing him up
right now you're Mike [ __ ]
Tyson so when you're doing all this [ __ ]
again you're still Mike Tyson those
thoughts have got to be burning inside
you again it's got to be pretty
wild I don't know it's
um it's wild but um I believe it's um
it's rightfully so to be that way and I
just know how to um I don't think I I
asked it but I just know how to deal
with it I don't let it overwhelm
me no well of course not it's a strange
conversation to have cuz he was like so
focused and so intense you know it was
it was almost hard pulling conversation
out of him and at any time did you feel
afraid I'm always afraid when him around
that guy Kevin Hart said it best he goes
it's like being in a room with a
lion even if the like Jamie Fox's old
joke is like someone let of pull let
loose in the room and they don't know
whose it is yeah
and Jamie's got to play him in a m a
movie which has got to be terrifying
like don't piss that guy off I never
talk like that oh sorry sorry sir I'm
I'm curious I'm gonna watch the fight
we're all going to watch the fight I'm
going to watch it I mean it's a
brilliant move by Jake because like if
he was going to fight anybody else
people would watch but would the same
amount of people watch no no this is the
one and this is the one where the old
heads are all sitting around like going
ah what a [ __ ] wait till he gets a
hold of Mike Tyson boy he's going to
regret that and all the old guys are
like pulling for him like come on Mike
come on one more you got one more in you
well I think we see a different Mike
Tyson than we did when he fought uh Roy
Jones right I think the Roy Jones fight
they made an agreement not to punch in
the head I'm pretty sure because I
watched that fight carefully many times
and it never looked like he was
targeting Roy's head which makes sense
why Ro Ro agreed to do the fight mhm you
know I think they probably made an
agreement it would be like a real boxing
match but just don't knock me out
because Roy is a smaller person much
smaller Roy was the at his very best
when he was 168 pounds and then when he
was weighing a75 PBS he you know he
didn't even have to cut weight he was
playing he Roy famously played a
basketball game a full basketball game
the day of his
fight wow played a basketball game and
then went and boxed the face off of
somebody for 12 rounds wow you know
that's how good Roy was in his prime but
Roy was 168 pounds in his prime he
wasn't Mike Tyson size Mike Tyson's
[ __ ] enormous he's a just a different
Mass he's the width the density it's
terrifying and if they're older guys I
could imagine them making an agreement
because if you watch the highlights Mike
never punches him in the face and even
if they do punch each other in the face
it seems like it's just like Jabs and
small punches it does you know like
almost like sparring shots it's not like
anybody's like really like winding up
you know really like really like
throwing everything at it this fight
doesn't have that stipulation no I do do
not believe that's the case I think this
fight is going to be a real full boore
100% fight it's not even an exhibition
it counts on their professional record
so it's a professional fight oh okay
yeah is it eight rounds it's eight two-
minute rounds but yeah they to they made
it two-minute rounds because Tyson's old
and they they were going to do 16 ounce
gloves with it down to 14 I believe is
that the case I think they're 14 ounce
gloves which is not not much bigger than
a regular glove you know regular glove
is 10 ounces in the heavyweight division
6 ounces and lighter divisions I think
they use eight in some divisions too but
most like big guys use 10 o gloves
