No one seems to be giving Jake Paul a hope in hell against Mike Tyson on July 20, and somehow I don’t think this video of him punching rapper Lil Pump in the ribs is going to do much to change that sentiment:

Is that supposed to scare Mike Tyson? I mean, OK, it was straight in the liver and obviously painful as hell, but it’s not like Tyson is a scrawny 20-year-old rapper who will allow Jake Paul to punch him for free. And if he did, I’m pretty sure he would flex and prepare for the impact, which is something Lil Pump didn’t do. No wonder he practically got sent into punch-induced labour:
Meanwhile, here’s how Mike Tyson’s training is going:

Honestly, objectively, it’s a tough one to call. Mike Tyson looks fit and ferocious in that footage, but if he doesn’t get the job done in the first round, how will his stamina hold up as a 58-year-old man? As a 27-year-old boxer in his prime, Jake Paul actually has a decent chance, as much as it pains us to say it.
With any luck, Tyson completely smashes him and then Jake Paul can go back to fighting people like Lil Pump on the regular. Come on Iron Mike, get it done!
Check out the fight live on Netflix on July 20.
