But, Mother F'r, we have Mike Tyson training in Maynard James Keenan's gym!

I'd heard these rumors for a while now. The Verde Valley isn't huge. Maynard lives over there, has a winery and a couple small business ties. By all reports, still a good guy. That's good to hear for those of us that saw Tool back in the Pomona days.
I don't know anything about the Jake Paul guy, looks like a bearded meme. Tyson's 10 years my senior, I saw his fights in his prime. It's been a long time, but getting hit by him now still won't tickle.

Jake is a douche, but he trains pretty hard. Gotta give him that. As it's been said. This is a no win for him. If he beats Mike that is just lame to take on a senior well beyond his prime. If he loses, well he just got knocked out by a retired old guy.

Tool is still my favorite band of all time. Just took my 18yo son to see them at the Honda Center in February and they still F-ing rock. Tyson is still a bad MF-er!
I can't stand Jake Paul, but you have to give the kid credit. He works hard and knows how to make money. I have watched a few of his "boxing matches", but I have mixed feelings about this one. Most of us only watch him fight in hopes to see him get KTFO. This is a loose - loose for the kid though in my opinion. I'll watch it though...

Why would he train there, I thought he lived in Vegas. I guess to get away and concentrate on fitness?

I'm in fair shape, fairly strong, still box around and wrestle with the "little monkey" (6'4" 210 wrestler)...Pretty sure Tyson would throttle me. One of my friends asked me last week if I'd go in the ring against Tyson. In a heartbeat. It would make a great story and a hell of an experience.
