Joe Rogan - Mike Tyson Could Still Smash You!

What? Sis, you're full. Gambling made it profitable to have fights all the time because people loved gamble. So they'd have all these people fighting and ties they even altered their style to accommodate the gambling. Like the first round they would go real slow because they wanted everybody to place their bets. So Pete they would just take it slow and everybody knew the fight didn't really begin to the second or the third round. So it wasn't like American fighting where you would have like a Mike Tyson who would be cherished for knocking people out very quickly. Like there would be over under bets. Is this guy, is Tony Tubbs going to last the first three minutes of the fight? Is Michael Spinks going to last the first three, like world class fighters? Dude. Imagine getting hit by Mike Tyson when he was 20 years old. Imagine how horrible that would be. He was at the fights this past weekend. I said hi to him. I said hi Mike. That's so weird. It's amazing. He's still a tank too dude. Terrifying looking person. There's a video of him hitting the bags like 51 years old or something like that. Hitting the heavy bag and you're like oh okay you can still fuck you up. 100%. In terms of like retired heavyweight champions there was a trend that existed where someone would retire and then they wouldn't keep their form. They would get heavy. And that happened with Mike. He got very heavy. Look at this. 49 year old type. 49. So this is like two years ago. Fuck all this. Give me some volume. Fuck that. Dude. 49 year old Mike Tyson will put you to sleep. 100%. And when you're around him you realize you're like you just. Can't believe they put that on there. Who is that? A rapper. Meek Mill. Oh that's sad. Oh meek. See I blame his trainers right there. If I was the guy holding the camera I'd be like stop it. Okay. First of all we've got to straighten this whole thing out before you start hitting hard. You've got to move. All this. This might be just a personal trainer not a boxing person but I'm looking in the background and I feel like I see boxing and stuff on the wall. Play that. Play that video. Young Mike Tyson with Customato. Oh my god. You want to change the way you feel about physics? Customato was old and dying. He was a really old guy but he had just this deep knowledge of psychology and boxing and he trained this unbelievably fast and powerful talented kid who had massive hunger for success. The whole story of Mike Tyson a lot is wrapped up in the story of Customato who had been around forever and this is his last and greatest pupil and Mike knew it. Mike knew it while it was happening and by the time he won the heavyweight championship Customato had already died but he dedicated it all to him. There was nobody like him. People like they say oh you know but he never fought Ali and he never fought these guys that his era people weren't as good. Maybe but everybody in his era he fucked up. All of them up until Spinks or excuse me until Hendrix. No. Well Buster. Yeah. Buster was the first one to beat him but I meant Holyfield. That's how fucked up I am. I said Hendrix. I was trying to remember what the fight was. When Holyfield beat Tyson those two fights in a row like that was that was big and when Tyson bit his ear like that was big like that was like when you realize like he's just not he's not the same guy he was. We both lived in Columbus when Buster Douglas knocked him out. That was a crazy like he became the big big fucking hero. No one knew who he was really I feel like. I was young but then he was supposed to take over the east side of the city. He was going to change everything have a big giant boxing gym and never happened. You know the story of Buster Douglas. It's an amazing story. His mom died. His mom died when he was in training for the fight. Oh really. And all of his life he had kind of been really talented as a boxer but hadn't really completely dedicated himself to it. So when his mom died he went completely insane in the gym in preparation for Tyson. And then when he came out there he it was like two people that had the exact opposite things happen to them for Tyson. He had just been smashing everybody for so long. He was so good and so scary. He would win fights for the even start. It would just be a matter of whether or not you were going to make it out of the first round sometimes. He was just smashing people. For Buster Douglas is like he had some good fights and some bad fights and he just wasn't he wasn't completely consistent but he was talented. But then when his mom died it was right when the time when Tyson was you know just over confident. He was a forty six to one underdog I think. Is that what it was. I think it was marketed as Tyson is back fight. Oh wow I didn't know that. Tyson is back. I don't remember that. But what were the odds because I think it was one of the craziest odds of someone who won a fight. Forty two to one it says. Forty two to one is a lot. That means you have to be a total sucker to bet on Buster Douglas but I'll take your money stupid. Yeah yeah I'll give you forty two hundred dollars if you give me a hundred. You know it's like they're so confident that Tyson is going to beat him. They're willing to bet forty two times whatever you're going to put up. That to me is always I think bets. I'm not telling you what to do. But I think bets should be like I think actually I take it back. I think you should be able to do whatever you want. But I think the real bet should be who do you want. Who do you think is going to win. Let's make it real clear. Who's going to win. If you say well will Michael Spinks make it out of the first round. Like all right now we're getting weird. Because this is some shit you might be able to affect. Maybe you might be able to talk to Michael Mike. There's a lot of money in this fight. But there's even more if we can get to the second round. You know what I'm saying bro. I think the last bet I hit like that was Amanda Nunes KO in the second round. Like specifically picked that. That's very important to protect against that kind of influence because that shit's real. That shit's happened throughout sports. Someone comes up to you and goes look there's a lot of money if this fight goes into the third round. That's all we're going to do. Look here's the odds. Seventy two to one. Seventy two to one this fight goes to the third round. You know what that means. You let the fight go to the third round. We'll make a lot more money.
