Part 1: Michael Jai White on Predicting Mike Tyson Would Beat Jake Paul, How Mike Could've Won
--------
Renowned martial artist and actor Michael Jai White shared his insights on the controversy surrounding the Tyson vs. Paul fight, addressing speculation that the match was fixed. White, an experienced fight scene choreographer, emphasized the difficulty of staging such events, especially in a live environment, underscoring the near-impossibility of faking numerous punches.
White dismissed the conspiracy theories, explaining that both Tyson and Paul threw legitimate punches capable of knocking each other out. Critics often misinterpret moments like Tyson's abandoned punch, where Paul was already moving away, as a missed opportunity for a knockout due to a fixed agenda. White argues that such executions are not scripted and are subject to on-the-spot decisions and physical dynamics.
Drawing on his extensive experience, White highlighted the complexity of real boxing versus choreographed fight scenes in movies, urging skeptics to appreciate the genuine unpredictability in professional bouts. Despite the skepticism, the fight was a genuine exchange of skill and strategy.
