Supercomputer predicts Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson blockbuster Netflix fight with bout likely to end in a KO
TONIGHT’S clash between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is expected to end by knockout, according to a supercomputer.
Heavyweight legend Tyson, 58, will face off against YouTuber Paul, 27, in eight two-minute rounds.
The two fighters will also wear more padded 14oz gloves rather than the standard 10oz.
Yet despite those conditions, a supercomputer from JeffBet claims there is still a huge chance of a KO.
They give Paul a 63.6 per cent chance to win the fight and a 40 per cent chance of him either knocking Tyson out or earning a TKO victory.
Tyson, who slapped Paul at the weigh-in on Thursday, has been given a 34.8 per cent chance of having his arm raised, while his KO/TKO probability stands at 26.7.
By contrast, both fighters’ chances of winning by decision are a lot lower.
The likelihood of Paul being given the nod by the judges is just 26.3 per cent, while Tyson‘s is as little as 7.7 per cent.
The supercomputer even believes a draw is more likely than a Tyson decision.
It believes there is a 9.1 per cent of there being nothing between the two men.

The probability of either man to be knocked down at any point in the 16 minutes has also been calculated.
There is a 55.6 per cent chance that Paul will floor Tyson, while the reverse has been estimated at 38.1.
Tyson was widely considered the best heavyweight in the world during the 1980s and early 1990s.
But he has not fought competitively in 19 years and is fast-approaching his 60th birthday.
Internet sensation Paul has beaten some ex-UFC stars such as Tyron Woodley and Nate Diaz in his 11 professional boxing fights.
But his sole defeat came at the hands of Love Island star Tommy Fury – who also edged past Paul’s YouTube rival KSI.
