We asked AI to predict the winner of Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson (And it gave an alarming reply)

The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight has been a persistently polarizing topic for several months. Google's AI Gemini has picked a winner for the boxing match and painted a rather alarming picture.

The AI prediction suggested that though it'll likely be an entertaining event, it's crucial to acknowledge its possible risks and both combatants' present athletic abilities. The two salient points listed were Tyson's health and age and Paul's boxing prowess.

It was erroneously noted that Tyson is 56. The fact is that he turned 58 in June 2024. That mistake notwithstanding, the prediction did echo the sentiments of many fight fans. It indicated that 'Iron Mike' has faced health problems in recent years and is way past his athletic/physical prime.

Additionally, it was emphasized that although Tyson has displayed admirable fitness in his training footage, a full-fledged fight against a fitter and younger adversary is a daunting challenge.

Secondly, as for the 27-year-old Jake Paul's boxing prowess, it was highlighted that he's exhibited evolution, especially in his recent matchups wherein he's bested MMA fighters stepping into the squared circle. That said, it was pointed out that Paul's technical pugilistic prowess and experience still have ways to go as compared to that of a highly experienced professional like Tyson.

The three possible outcomes listed for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson showdown were: Tyson winning via knockout, Paul securing a decision victory, or the fight ending in an injury.

It foresees Tyson (50-6, 2 No Contests; 44 KOs) winning if he catches and stops Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) with a punch early on. However, this outcome was deemed less probable because of Tyson's purportedly reduced power and age.

Speaking of the second outcome, it was explained that Paul's boxing skills, youth, and stamina could give him the edge if the match went the distance. Regardless, it was opined that Tyson's ability to exert pressure and his experience could make it a closely contested clash.

Thirdly, the prediction noted that the possibility of mismatched power and age differential could result in a serious injury for either Paul or Tyson. It insinuated that Paul's too inexperienced compared to the all-time-great Tyson, while the latter's age makes fighting a risky proposition.

In a nutshell, it concluded that Tyson could win, particularly if he connected with a lucky punch. Nevertheless, it signaled that Paul's conditioning and youth make him likelier to emerge victorious -- on the judges' scorecards or possibly by knockout if Tyson gets tired.

Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA earlier this year, then-Bellator welterweight champion Jason Jackson opined he'd have liked to see Mike Tyson against a veteran his age. Though he doesn't doubt Tyson's fighting ability, akin to many experts and fans, Jackson warned:

"Going against Jake Paul, it's kind of like dangerous, but you know, we all have to respect age."
