01x03 - Time to Dance

Post by bunniefuu »

[pensive music playing]
[Rafael] One minute left!
[speaking indistinct]

-[Billy] You hit--

-[Rafael] Yes!

[Mike grunting]

[Rafael] Nice one!

Beautiful way to circle, champ!

Excellent! Find yourself!

[Russel] Mike hits harder than anyone

I've ever been in the ring with.


I've only had two black eyes

my whole career.

One other time and right now.

[Billy speaking indistinctly]

Just like that.


Jake's walking into a problem.

He says he's a problem child,


but this will be a problem

for him on November th.


[Mike] I'm prepared.

It's more intensified right this moment.

[scoffs] I'm just ready to get in there.
[indistinct chatter]

[Logan] I've been around Jake,

obviously, for all his fights.

I show up to all of them.

But there's never been one

with this much excitement.


It is insane to watch.

And people are branding this


as potentially

one of the biggest fights ever.


-I really think it could be.

-All right, stop.


-It's the biggest fight ever.

-[Logan] I think so.


-I think it could be.

-The… The biggest fight ever.

I think some people are…
excited to see that version of Mike Tyson

that is the k*ller come out

on November th.


Unfortunately, I have

to fight and be that guy.


I wish I could stop that guy.

That guy haunts me.


I wish that guy died,

but he's here to stay.

I love you, Mike.

-[Majlak] Same.

-And I'm very nervous for you.

[Mike] Thank you for caring.
I do care. I care about you.
And I care about my brother.
And I know the path he's on right now.

-And it's ruthless, Mike.

-[Mike] I agree.


[Logan] And you gotta

take him serious, Mike. 'Cause he's--


I take him extremely-- So, you think--

I take him extremely serious.


-These people don't take him serious.

-[Logan] No, they don't.

And that-- it's such a mistake.
[clears throat]

-I just want to make sure you're okay.

-I'm gonna be splendid. Thank you.


-I appreciate you worrying about me.

-[Logan] Yeah,

it's gonna be a good night, man.
[ominous music playing]
[Logan] Mike is hard to get a read on.

I think he has a thing in him that is

sort of subdued at the moment,


or perhaps laying dormant,

that is gonna activate on fight night.


Man, I don't really know

how much Mike Tyson has to lose.


Like, no matter what happens, at the end

of the day, he's still Mike Tyson.

He's GOATED. He's solidified.
Jake Paul is not there just yet.
He has a lot to lose.
He's fighting a -year-old Mike Tyson…
who is still a lethal human being.
[music intensifies]

[Logan] If Jake loses to Mike,

I do think it'll put a damper


on how people consider Jake

as a contender in the sport.


He can't lose to Mike Tyson,

I'll be honest.

Not an option.
[music concludes]
[waves crashing]
[Jake] I like the heavyweight division.

-[Jutta] Same.

-[Jake] Pasta, chicken marsala, pizza.


-I'm proof that fat kids…

-[Jutta] Are stronger?

…are stronger.
[huffs]
My muscles are powered

by cinnamon rolls.

That's what's in there.

Whoa.
Mike Tyson's gonna be defeated

-by cinnamon rolls.

-He's gonna feel your cinnamon rolls.


[Ice T]
Moving up to heavyweight

to fight Mike Tyson


presents a number of challenges.

["Shake Somethin'" playing]

And some of them have given Jake

some content opportunities


-outside the ring.

-[speaks indistinctly]


♪ Shake somethin'

Like you wanna make somethin' ♪


♪ Shake somethin'

Like you wanna make somethin' ♪

More weight equals more power.

♪ Make that money stack

Do it ♪


♪ Soaring on fire ♪


Mikey, Mikey, if you can last more

than four rounds with me,


I'll give you an extra

five million dollars.


[Ice T]
The reality is adding weight

does have its drawbacks inside the ring.


Because when you pack on the pounds,

speed and agility can suffer.


And speed and agility

would seem to be Jake's best weapons


against an older, slower opponent


who still holds some unique advantages

in a sport like boxing.

Mike Tyson, I'm coming!

Mike has all the advantages,

the weight, the experience, the power.


So I have to at least catch up

in some categories.


If I'm getting in there at heavyweight,

I got to have that size.


So we wanted to make sure

I was doing the weight gain the right way


where I wasn't slow or anything.

But as I got heavier and heavier,

my coaches saw I'm still the same speed.

It shows I have the athletic prowess

to be able to move


all the way up to heavyweight

and beat Mike Tyson.


[Ice T]
The fight is now

just days away,


and although it is very much

a professional prize fight,


no one would consider

Jake Paul facing Mike Tyson


to be a normal night of boxing.


Along those lines,

the rules have been tailored.


The rounds will be two minutes long

instead of three.


The upshot is less fatigue


and to preserve

what's always been Tyson's hallmark.


Power.


[Jake] People who know boxing know

that the power is the last thing to go.


So I have to be prepared

for the baddest man on the planet


and the strongest uppercut

boxing has ever seen.

[upbeat music playing]
[Jake] Well, here we are.

[J'Leon] I've been in the gym

with guys that are


that will box the lights out of you,

that would sleep you in one round.

The last thing to go is your power.

And if you know Mike Tyson,

that's all he's ever had, is power.


And the power

that he carries with that sh*t,

he makes you pay.
Eye on the touches.

[Jake] I think Mike's gonna be strong,

fast, and comes out like a bull.


And I'm gonna have to weather

the storm, outbox him.


All this… [grunts]

And the right hand go.

I think he's gonna get clipped

because he has a lot of openings for me

to land some big shots.

There you go. Now feel your legs,

and then, once you do your legs,

the more punches you go.


Mike Tyson has a certain style

that says, "Oh, that's Mike Tyson."

If I was to go ask anybody on the street,

"Show me the way Mike Tyson moves,"

they would all do the same thing.


You're gonna get low,

keep the hands tight, and then go from…

you know, one way.

-Short, small movements.

-He's off the center.


-He's moving.

-Bang, bang, bang, he'll make you pay.

[music continues]

[J'Leon] There's a saying in boxing,

"Make them miss, make them pay."


And that's what Mike Tyson--

his style was.

[Theo] There you go. Still throw.

[Jake] So I'm going to have to throw

misdirection jabs.


Jab, jab, this, jab,

every jab in the f*cking book.

There you go. It comes from the legs.
It comes from the legs.

[Jake] We are working on

Tyson's specific things


because we generally know

what he's going to do.


[interviewer]

What are Tyson specific things?


-[chuckles]

-[interviewer laughing]

[shushes] Mikey, Mikey, I got a secret.

-[Taser crackling]

-[screams]


[Theo] Mike Tyson

only fights the same way.


I mean, we can go back

and look at all his films.

You got to f*cking want it.

He don't make adjustments.

He fights one way.


[Ice T]
Opponents knowing exactly

how Mike Tyson would fight


was hardly a hindrance

to the man himself in his prime.

[Billy] Go ahead, man. Push play.

[Ice T]
And so many years later,


simply looking back

on his literal greatest hits


is a useful film study

in preparation for November th.

Reggie Gross is going to start punching.
And when he does, you'll-- Right here.

[Billy] Four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten.


-Twelve, , …

-[Rafael] Eyes on him.


-[Billy] …, , , , .

-[Rafael] Boom. Yeah.

[Billy] Nineteen. Nineteen I counted.

-Made them all miss.

-[Rafael] He made them miss them.


And made him pay, like Cus said,

"Make them miss, make them pay."


The thing about Mike Tyson's style

is that it's a hard style to time.


Jake Paul is not gonna be able to time it.

He's gonna have to throw his rhythm off.

[Rafael] Oh.

[Wallace] The reason why I don't really

give Jake Paul a chance in this,


I don't think he's prepared to be hit

by somebody who hits as hard as Tyson.


Tyson knows how to plant his feet

and really hit you hard.

[Billy] There's that jab, Larry.

[Rafael] And then,

they discovered concussion.


-[Billy laughing]

-[laughs]

And then concussion was born.
[laughs]

[Rafael pants] You can see.

You can feel. You can feel.


Hook his-- [grunts]

Always like that. Feel that.

Yes! Yes! Look at that, Mike.
[grunts] Mm-hmm.

[Billy] Well, they call it

the peek-a-boo style.


We just call it the moves.

We know what the moves are.

And they're slow, and they're repetitive.

Keep your left hand up.

Keep your hands up.


-Billy. Let it go. Let it go.

-[Billy] Yeah.


-Well, you got to have your hands up.

-Let's go. Let it go. Let it go.


When his hands are up

and he's moving his head, he's elusive.


And when he's elusive, he's unhittable.

When he's unhittable, he's unbeatable.

[grunts] His mistake.
His mistake.

-Yes!

-[Billy] There you go.


[Ice T]
Peek-a-boo boxing, as it's called,

is primarily a defensive position.


Long ago, Cus D'Amato taught Mike Tyson

to fight with his hands close to his face.


And while his critics would say

the style is predictable


and hard to implement,

all these years later,


why would you change

how Mike Tyson fights?

Ooh! Ooh!
Nobody can change Mike's style.

It's something that he trained

since he was years old.


It's unique.

The way he moves his head from both sides.


It doesn't matter

what you're going to throw,

he moves away from that punch.
Yes, sir. That's it.
Whoo-ee!
Get back to your left.

[Mike] We're going to see.

I'mma work off my jab,

move my head, and see what happens.
And see what he can take.

He has to anticipate some pain

that's going to be involved.


Slip, roll, shot, hook!

[grunts] Boom, boom!

[Rafael] KO.
KO.
Round four.
How beautiful he is, champ?

It's all there. Great form,

great speed, great power.


-Right there. There we go.

-Five. Six. Slow.

Seven. Slow. Eight. Slow. Nine.

[Ice T]
In Camp Tyson,

the silence can be deafening.


Going back to his early days as a boxer,


he preferred to train

without any music playing.


And now, with the fight

drawing closer and closer,


inside these walls,

it feels like the calm before the storm.


[Mike] I was taught that music

and technology was a distraction.


The speed bag was

the only rhythm you could listen to.


-[Andy] Let's go.

-[Mike] The only music.

Fight time. And that's different.
Party time-- Fight time is party.

That's the party time.

Fight time, that's the party.


-[Andy] Fourteen.

-[Tony] One, one thousand.


-[Andy] Fifteen. Big squeeze, Mike!

-[Tony] One, one thousand.


[Mike] This ain't no f*cking party

right now. This is work.


-This is all about work.

-[Andy] Eighteen!


-Nineteen and hold!

-[Tony] One, one thousand. Squeeze it!


-[Andy] Good.

-[Tony] Good work, Mike. Great set.

[Mike] First one in and the last one out.
That's what it-- That's old school.

-[interviewer] Is that a Cus philosophy?

-No, that's a winning philosophy.

It was before Cus.

I don't look at myself as old school.

I look at myself as a liberator.


I created things like these guys,

like Jake Paul, these YouTubers and stuff,


for fantasy, wanting

to be fighters like myself.

[Tony] Round one, let's go.
[both] Five, four, three, two, one.
[Tony] And relax.

Every drill that we go through

is just designed

to make him a better athlete,
so that when he gets in the ring,

he can do what he knows

how to do in that ring,


-and not have his body fight him on it.

-Three, two, one.

[Tony] Good work, Mike.

Just relax, let's try to get

that heart rate down between rounds.


-[Andy] …one, and attack! Five, four…

-[Tony] And give me everything you got!


The best athletes to work with

are the ones that you have to pull back,

as opposed to the ones you have to push.

-You don't have to push Mike.

-And five.


[Tony] What he has inside

that he's able to pull out


in these workouts is different.

Most people can't do that.


You know, you can tell

when somebody's built different.


And that's what I think

every time I train him.


-Last one. All-out.

-Here we go!


-Five, four, three, two, one!

-[Tony] Five, four, three, two, one!

Yes, sir.

-Nine hundred on the last one.

-[Andy] Oh, sh*t.

[Tony] Time.
Best one yet. Best one yet.
[groans] Five rounds.

-Five rounds, Mike.

-[Tony] Five strong rounds.


-Five solid rounds.

-[Tony] Each round got stronger.

Get away from me. [screams]
[man] That's why you're the champ.

[Ice T]
It takes extreme dedication to get

in the ring when you're almost .


-You just got to be built different.

-[treadmill whirring]


[Ice T]
For Jake Paul,

being built different isn't just an idea.


It's an ideal. And he loves nothing more

than proving it to his opponents.


[Jake] Everyone says the same thing

when they get in there with me.


It's like, "Oh, you had

more power than I thought."

"Oh, you were faster than I thought."
So he's gonna find out.
I'm gonna frustrate Mike Tyson.

And he's a person

that gets easily frustrated.

He's gonna want to bite my ear off.
["Iconic" playing]
And I wouldn't be mad if he did, honestly.
[Larry] All right, let's work!

♪ Y'all better pump your brakes

That's just in case… ♪

[Larry] Get up there. All the way up.

♪ Got that on faith ♪


♪ Model on my arm

Designer bag, designer face ♪


♪ Best learn your place ♪


In my mind,

Tyson feels my power very, very early on.

The first jab, he's going to be shocked.

All the way to the top.

Come up here. Five.

[Jake] It's gonna disorient him.

He's not gonna be able to get to me.

He's gonna get frustrated, mentally tired.


He doesn't know what to do.

He's getting popped up, picked apart.


And then I'm just gonna find

that opening, and he's gonna go to sleep.


It don't start working till now.

That's it. Hold on to that.

Right there. Keep working. Yeah.

That man's got to be able to deal

with that power…


-Power and speed.

-…over and over and over.


You gonna tell me that -year-old man

hit with that power,


he ain't going to break down

at some point?


♪ Yeah, think y'all notice

Got the memo, put him on notice ♪


[Larry] I want one, but he going

to give me two. Work.


-[Jake] Go!

-[Larry] That's you. Yeah, Come on.


-[Jake] Go!

-[Larry] That's you.


-Oh, sh*t.

-[Jake] Go!


[Larry] Ah, that's it.

That's it. That's it.


-That's it. That's it.

-I wanted five.

[Larry] He wanted five.

I don't disrespect him.

I got nothing but respect for him.


But he got to deal with you.

"Oh, Mike hit him." What if he hit Mike?


Telling me his equilibrium and balance

good enough to deal with that?


[Jake] And he hasn't been hit

under the lights in a long time.


[J'Leon] "I'm fighting Mike Tyson."

Who would ever be able to say this again?


It's gonna take a lot of mental focus.

It's gonna take a lot of toughness.


But also, skills pay

the m*therf*cking bills.

[Larry] That's it, fellas! That's it!
[applauding]

I'm the truth. Believe that.

The m*therf*cking truth.

The truth prevails, dawg.

♪ Never be like me

I be, I be, I be Iconic ♪

[song concludes]

[Jake]
So what we have here

is a red-light bed.


It creates stem cells inside of your body,


which help with inflammation

and just recovery.


I for sure am progressing faster

than other people in the sport


because of the resources

I'm putting in front of myself.


Because it's an old, outdated sport

with not a lot of technology,


a lot of fighters spar

and then just sit there.


No, it's time to stretch,

time to get in the ice baths, red light,


all of these things.


And it's been really, really beneficial.


I focus probably more on recovery

than I do even on the workouts.


[Ice T]
Recovery is always

a focal point of training,


to give a fighter downtime,

to recharge physically and mentally,


especially for a guy like Jake Paul,

who lives so much of his life online.


Will you please promise me you're going

to kick this guy's a*s and shut him up?


-Please?

-I will do just that for you.


Everybody's going,

"Jake Paul is a YouTuber."


"Mike gonna whoop his a*s,"

blah, blah, blah.


I want to see Jake Paul

get his a*s whooped, too.

He tries to stay back from Mike,
he gon' get caught.

When he fight Mike Tyson,

Mike Tyson knocking


the Head and Shoulders shampoo

out of his head that night.


[Jake] I enjoy the critics always

because it's necessary.

I need that as fuel.

But it is weird because my fan base

is starting to, like…

grow where people actually like me,
and that's confusing to me. [chuckles]

'Cause, like, I've never--

I've never had people like me.


That does feel good

because I believe I'm a good person,


and it's nice for people to see you

for who you are. That's-- that's it.


[Ice T]
Trying to figure out

who Jake Paul really is can be difficult


given his online persona.


But you can't dismiss

what he's done for the sport of boxing.


And one of his most

popular projects in Puerto Rico


is renovating old gyms.


Amanda Serrano, who considers

the island her second home,


-has been one of the beneficiaries.

-[boxer grunting]


[Amanda] This gym

was renovated by Jake Paul.


To come here every day,

I see that picture.

It's cool. [chuckles]

But I feel like

when I'm jumping in front of my mural,


I'm like, I hope people don't think

that I'm like… like I'm showing off.

No, I don't even realize it's there.

People close to me,

who really, really know me,


know I don't like the attention.

I don't like the cameras.


[chuckles] That's how me and Jake,

we're the total opposites in that.


Now I gotta try

to keep up with these young girls.

[huffs]
She's years old.
Makes me feel like a fossil.
[chuckles]

[Ice T]
Over all her years in the ring,


Amanda Serrano

has pretty much accomplished


everything she could have ever dreamed of.


But her record also includes

that disputed loss to Katie Taylor in


she's so hungry to reverse,


even as she senses Katie Taylor

wants the rematch just as badly.


[announcer]
And still…


the undisputed lightweight

champion of the world!


Katie Taylor!

[Amanda] Katie Taylor is a warrior.

Like, I've never seen

the winner want the rematch so bad.


But that just shows

something about Katie Taylor.

A lot of people said the same thing.
They believe Amanda Serrano won.
And now she's taking the rematch.
[Katie grunting]
[grunt]

[Nakisa] I think every time Amanda Serrano

says, "I won the first fight,"


it makes Katie grind her teeth

a little bit harder.


There is going to be fireworks

from the opening bell of that fight.


[interviewer] I heard they had to beg you

to put up some of these photos, Katie.


-[Katie] Yeah.

-Put up some of these photos on the wall.


I'm not sure how I feel about

my photos being up here to be honest.


[interviewer] She's very humble.

Does she ever talk trash?


She ever say, "I'mma knock that girl out.

She's not on my level"?


-You ever get that from her?

-No, she's not a trash talker.


-[interviewer] Not a trash talker at all?

-She's-- Lets her actions speak.


[Katie] Amanda Serrano is obviously

a legend of the sport,


and the last fight

was an absolute w*r. [chuckles]


I'm sure this fight is gonna be very--

very, very similar.

[grunts]

[Amanda]
Katie, she's not going

to go out there and just lay down.


She's going to fight to the very end.


I'm going to make sure

that I win convincingly,


so it can show that

I beat her the first time for real.


[Katie] This is the best fight

in women's boxing.


I just have to be myself

and try to gauge them.


Yeah, just… [exhales]

…just box my heart out.

Yeah.
[man] Oh, sh*t.
[Rafael] Here you go, Brother Mike.
[pensive music playing]
I can't wait to-- I want this sh*t over.

I want to start eating

some ice cream and sh*t,


-you know?

-[Rafael chuckling]

Almost there, Mike. Almost there.

[Ice T]
With less than two weeks

to go before the bell sounds,


even as the cravings

for what comes after might be growing,


at least the training is long past

the monotony of the basics.


Today, the sparring partner

they call Magic Mike


is in the gym to give this Mike


a clearer sense of what

the man across from him


on Friday, November th will feel like.

[Rafael] Round one.
[dramatic music playing]

[Billy] Magic Mike is as big as Jake,

as fast as Jake, and as strong as Jake.


Explode right there.

You got a free hand. Use it.


And because of it,

he's imitating Jake to the tee,

which is what we need.

-Way to make him miss. Make him pay.

-[Rafael] You can do this for hours, Mike.

[Billy] Sparring is the key to success.
The more you do it, the better you become,
the more your form gets developed,

the more your speed,

the more your power comes.

[Rafael] Two more rounds, champ.
[both grunt]

Beautiful one, Mike.

There's no more uppercut for him, baby.


We put everything together.

Defense, counter, attack.

He's the masterpiece of boxing.

And I really believe, I truly believe,

he's gonna be amazing.


We're gonna finish this guy

in less than three rounds.


Last round.

You're already there, champ. Last round.


Beautiful! Don't chase him.

You have him.


[Billy] He's in a zone, and he's

peaking perfectly for fight night.


It's just reminding me

of the old days. It's pretty cool.

[music continues]
[Rafael] And time! A-plus!

-[Magic Mike] Moved around better?

-[Mike] Yeah.

[Magic Mike] Cool. Anything else you want.

-Love you.

-[Magic Mike] Love you.


-[speaks indistinctly]

-[Billy] Beautiful, Mike.


[Mike] The fight is tomorrow,

as far as I'm concerned.


I just don't think he has

any idea what's coming at him.


He thinks some old,

decrepit man is coming at him.

That's really what he believes.
Somebody with a bunch of arthritis

built up in his bones

is coming to attack him.

He's going to have, um, a big surprise.

[interviewer] Psychologically,

you're where you need to be?

[scoffs] Just ready to get in there.
I'm gonna catch him.

They don't think I'm going to catch him,

with all this running bullshit.


You can't win by running.

You gotta fight sometime.

[indistinct chatter]

[Billy] You just did the fight, bro.

You just did the fight.

Can't beat that.
[waves lapping]

[Ice T]
With only days left until

the biggest fight of Jake Paul's career,


preparing for Mike Tyson


-has gotten all the more precise.

-[Theo] Ten seconds!


Like sparring with men

with a similar build as Tyson.


So far, so good.

[instrumental music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[group cheering]
Don't charge at me, Tyson.

And yeah, I dropped my -pound

heavyweight sparring partner,

who came in hot.
We've been working on a lot of things,

but we know Tyson is going

to come hard at me.

So no matter what, we have a game plan

for everything

that he's going to bring to the table.

So Tyson needs to be scared.
I'm a dangerous man.
[Theo] Work time.
[music intensifies]

[Larry] Jake is the strongest

and most expl*sive he's ever been

since I've worked with him.
"How much can Mike take?" is the question.
We know he can give.

But how much can a -year-old man

take at this point?

That's what we gonna test that night.

-[music ends]

-[groans]


[Ice T]
As training has intensified

over these final few weeks,


the hours and hours

at the gym have only escalated.


The good news is, it seems

like Jake's agility has sustained.


But keeping the pounds on

has proven to be tricky.


And Tyson's weight advantage

still unsettles him.

[dramatic music playing]

[Jake] Yeah, physically, this is

the hardest it's been for me in boxing


because I'm weighing more

and I'm trying to eat

to keep the weight on.

But it's just hard to keep the weight on

when we're working this hard.

[music ends]
[Jake] Two twenty-three point six.
[interviewer] Ideal? Almost there?

Yeah, ideally, I'm like,

two to three pounds heavier.


[interviewer] Do you know what Tyson

weighs or is expected to weigh?

[Jake] I think he'll weigh around ,

but I feel like

I'm at the perfect weight now,


and I believe the speed

will be more important

than me weighing a lot.
You wanna get on there? Get on.
Get on there. Perfect.
Whoa! Forty-four pounds!

Big dog! Big dog!

[imitates barking]


This fight happening is so important

to me on so many different levels,


but also, I think important

for the sport of boxing.


The amount of people

that will have access to this fight,


I think it's going to be

the most watched fight ever.

[Remy] Anyone can watch.

Anyone scrolling

who's looking for something else


besides a
Grey's Anatomy
rerun.


[Curran] Available globally

to the entire world, this is gonna be


one of the biggest sports marketing

entertainment events of all time.


[Barak] And then you got the two women

who put on the biggest boxing match

of all time.
All of that on the same card?
The whole world will stop to watch this.

Mike Tyson or Jake Paul,

who wins that one?


Taking the Cleveland kid,

even though Mike is, golly,


I kinda feel silly saying that,

but I'll take Jake with the youth.


[Chris] There's just so many

different possibilities

for how this fight can play out.
What if he eats your ear?
That's crazy. [chuckles]

[Ryan] Jake has to win this

in astounding fashion

if he wants to prove to people he real.
Jake Paul's a big boy.

If he tries to get

in the middle of this ring


and bang with Mike Tyson,

Mike Tyson can knock him out.

What's your take on this Tyson thing?
I go back and forth.
I'll just be real bummed out

-to see Mike get KO'd.

-[Sebastian] Right.


[Ariel] I want Jake

to prove that he belongs.


I want Mike to prove

that he's still got it.


He's got a puncher's chance

the first three rounds.


[Barak] I think he's going to go forward.

He's going to be aggressive.


He's gonna try

and get Jake out of there early.


I'll give you bucks if you say

Jake Paul's gonna win this fight.


-f*ck no.

-You think it'll go the distance?


[Curran] I'm going to predict

that this does go the distance.

Jake Paul by decision.

Shout out to Jake Paul, shout out

to Mike Tyson, but Jake got this one.

[Chris] Jake Paul is the younger fighter,

but he's going to be

staring down Mike Tyson.


There's going to be

something trickling down his pant leg.


I don't know if Jesus got that wheel,

but somebody better be driving.


[Ice T]
It's been eight months now

since Jake Paul and Mike Tyson


agreed to fight.


And years since Jake first began

manifesting this into fruition.


No one would deny

the work he's put in to get here,


the point that could either be

the pinnacle


or even the end

of Jake Paul's boxing journey.


[Jake] We're two seconds away

from the biggest fight on the planet,


and this is the do-si-do

in Texas, and we're right there.


So much work has been put in,

and it's time to dance.

["Godly" playing]

[Jake] Since flying out of the bird's nest

at such a young age


to have the ba*ls and the courage to fail

in front of the world and make mistakes,

that creates a real f*cking man.

There's not a lot

of people like me in the world.

No one ever achieved great things

in life without facing the world's doubts.


No one ever carved a path to legend


by caring what everybody else

thought of them.


It's the foundation

of a fighter's mentality.


-No fear of what's in front of you.

[Mike] Do you think I just wanna be a guy

laying around waiting for a check?


I think those guys are losers.

That's just my opinion.


That's a total disrespect

to even the Creator.


There's so much that God gave me

that I'm able to do.


[Jake] People are happy just sitting

at home living a normal-a*s life.


I just think I'm different

from those people.


Get the f*ck up off your a*s

No matter what history says,


a fighter never truly thinks

they can be beaten.


A fighter always believes in what

their conviction can get them.


But when someone takes away

what they hold most dear,


the only conceivable response

is to fight back


with full conviction

in what they can reverse.

Stop asking why they're fighting.

the prospect of climbing
