Evander Holyfield picks sides
As a fighter who fought Mike Twice and won both times, Holyfield has a very interesting prediction for the Paul vs Tyson fight. Here’s what he recently told the media: “I don’t know how much confidence that Jake Paul has and all of that, but he’s gonna be a lot quicker. If he stays close to Mike then his chance of winning is gonna be great, but if he tries to stay back from Mike he’s gonna get caught. The point about it is does Jake Paul take a good shot? I never seen him get hit by nobody. That’s it … It may be over cause he ain’t probably never fought nobody that punch like Mike. You never know, just like Mike quit in the ring. He got tired and just quit and just sat down – ‘I’m done.'”
