‘The Count’ said, “Exhibition bout, let’s be honest, it’s an exhibition bout, it’s not a fight. I do have concerns for Logan Paul, though. I think Logan Paul might get knocked the f*** out in this. In exhibition bout, you’re not supposed to go for the knockouts but do you really see any world that you can imagine where Mike Tyson isn’t going to try and knockout Logan Paul.”

“Logan Paul, we just saw him against Floyd Mayweather, went the distance, okay so there was no winner, it’s an exhibition bout same thing.”

“Floyd carried him, let’s be honest, he did. Floyd should have been embarrassed with that performance,” he said.

Eventually, this worked well for him, as he had the stamina to last 16 minutes with the 50-0 boxer in the ring in Miami.

He has definitely improved as a boxer in the past few months. However, all of his skills will be up for examination if he battles ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ next year.
