Jake Paul A ‘Real Fighter,’ Says Joe Rogan, But Still Feels Mike Tyson Has KO Chance

Joe Rogan has a couple different sides in terms of the upcoming Jake Paul-Mike Tyson boxing match.

Rogan, the long-time color commentator for the UFC, believes Paul is the real deal. However, he also knows the kind of power Tyson still has – even at nearly 60 years old.

“58 is 58,” Rogan said on his podcast (thanks to MMA Fighting for the quotes). “No matter what you’r taking, and what they’re doing, for you, you’re still 58.

“But 58-year-old Mike Tyson is not 50-year-old Mike Jones that lives down the street. It’s a different kind of human being. He can still knock your head into another dimension.”

Paul and Tyson were scheduled for July to square off. However, medical emergency for Tyson forced the bout to be delayed. Now, they are set for November 15 live on Netflix from AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

“The thing is, can (Tyson) catch a 28-year-old guy who is at the top of his career?” Rogan asked. “(Paul’s) beating former UFC world champions like Tyron Woodley, he had a very good fight with Tommy Fury. And he just beat up Mike Perry.

“He’s a real fighter, he can fight. And if Mike and him are fighting, and Mike can’t catch him, then it’s hard to tell.”
