How do you survive the baddest man on the planet? The man who brutally knocked down 44 of his opponents and slammed them to the canvas. The chances for Jake Paul look slim when he enters the squared circle and stands across from Mike Tyson. However, there is a possibility when ‘The Problem Child’ leaves the ring as a victor. How? Ryan Garcia explains.

Few have given a chance to the American YouTuber-turned-prize fighter, who remains unfazed by the daunting task in his hands on July 20 at AT&T Arena. Meanwhile, ‘Iron Mike’ continues to hit the mitts with coach Rafael Cordeiro. While the boxing world is split into two halves over the chances of Paul against Tyson, ‘KingRy’ believes there is only one way out for Paul.

The 25-year-old, when asked about the chances of Paul against Tyson, expressed his unwavering faith in the latter’s vicious power. But he also spelled out that Paul wins only if they have it fixed. Garcia said, “The only way Jake Paul wins this fight is if they have it already coordinated for him to win. That’s it. That’s the only way. And has that happened in the sport before? Yeah.”

Following this, when quizzed about the stamina of the 57-year-old Tyson and how that would impact Tyson’s performance, Garcia clarified ‘Kid Dynamite’ didn’t need to go the distance. The former world champion only needed four rounds to wrap up the business. “I mean, he went a couple of rounds with Roy [Roy Jones Jr.]. So I think he only needs four to beat Jake Paul,” Garcia continued.

The Victorville native also pointed out that Tyson’s thunderous knockout power could also finish the fight early. He then also went on to heap praise on the former heavyweight champion and reveal why he evoked fear in people.

“But you know, I don’t even think he needs four. I think if Mike hits him one good one, it’s over. But that’s just me,” Garcia added. “I have met Mike. Mike is a different breed, bro. When he steps in the room, you are like, ‘all right, now I know why people were scared’.”
