Joe Rogan has given his assessment on the clash between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul on July 20th.
The UFC commentator has praised Jake Paul for his boxing ability that he showcased against Tommy Fury even though he suffered defeat to the Brit.
Rogan said on his podcast: “Just forget that Jake Paul is a YouTube guy and watch him fight. The kid can fight. 100 per cent. That Tommy Fury fight really showed that. It goes to a split decision against a legit undefeated boxer.
But Rogan explained why Mike Tyson is still a problem for the YouTuber-come-boxer despite his age.
He continued: “I don’t give a f**k if he’s 55, that’s still Mike Tyson. He trains with Rafael Cordeiro, who’s a legend in MMA. He runs Kings Mixed Martial Arts. Rafael is a world-renowned trainer. When you see him holding the mits for Tyson and Tyson is smashing the mits. Jesus! That guy can still f*** you up.

“In this world with hormone replacement and vitamins. He does all this electrical muscle stimulation recovery stuff.
“When they were training Mike for that Roy Jones fight they were using state-of-the-art science. I don’t give a f*** if he’s 55 years old that guy will hurt you. If Jake Paul’s on the other side of the ring and he sees Mike Tyson bobbing and weaving he’s going to have a recognition.
“He’s going to look over and go, ‘Oh my God, that’s really Mike Tyson.’”
He concluded: “At 55 the power is the last thing to go but the thing is the speed is still there. It’s terrifying. And I don’t know what he did with Roy Jones Jr but in my mind, they made some sort of agreement where Mike wasn’t going to punch him in the face because most of the hits he hit him with, unless it was a jab, was to the body.”
