It seems like Jake is picking on washed up fighters at this point. Why doesn't Jake move up the amateur rankings like a normal boxer. That is what you do in order to prove you are legit. Instead he cheery picks older guys. He lost to the one young guy he fought. This is so corny. Secondly why is Mike even taking this fight? Money??
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson
- Thread starter Pandora
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Jake Paul owns the promotion and gets to pick the gloves the fighters wear. I didn't even know gloves came in 18 ounces.16 is the biggest I have used, and they are training gloves. It's like getting hit with a firm pillow. The point is to not injure your training partner. Actual fight gloves for boxing are 8 to 10 ounces, but that is misleading, because the weight is around the wrist. It's mostly just a sheet of leather over the knuckles with much less padding than mma gloves. The knuckle protection in boxing comes from guaze and tape on the hands underneath the gloves.
Lol huh i dont understand.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
So you are saying he is not really trying to hurt Mike.
100% he is.

When people get old they yearn for their earlier "glory days."
Athletes when they are young get tons of admiration and respect. It's hard to handle life without that.
My point is that Tyson likes the idea of getting back into the ring enough so he's willing to this.
This is going to be a clown fight anyway. They're using 18oz gloves and headguards.
Oh okay makes sense.

Mike is going to drop him
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
I hope!

Is Mike broke? I remember as a little kid, I loved Tyson still do, but I have a bad feeling about this, this to me seems staged and that Tyson may have taken a payday just to take a "Fall" THis guy should be on a beach having some lemonade not fighting

I've seen Tyson recently on some shows where he does some fake sparring against air...
That dude still has hands that are quick and violent as fvck.
That level of violence is something that very few people ever have or ever will have used against them.
If Paul gets hit with one of those he may not wake up until the following week.

The last I saw, they had dropped the head guard idea.
As a side note, head guards are pointless. They don't protect the fighter. It just looks like it does, which makes the regulatory bodies happy.

I'd want Tyson too, but since he couldn't knock out Jones; it's possible Paulie boy will win. After all, he's being paid by Paulie's company.
