    I'm concerned for either of them, KOs at that age come much more quickly with much less force

    True, Roy Jones was awesome in his prime, but even then i dont think he couldve beaten a "real" heavyweight, he just doesn't have the size.

    And have you seen the vids of Tyson working out lately? He looks like he could still step into the ring and win.

    Yeah, ive seen the training videos. Tyson's always had the tools, just seemed like he didn't have the heart for it in the end.

    With his punch power i'd imagine he could KO a lot of pros around right now, dunno how the gas-tank will be at 50+ though.

    Stupid Mike Tyson banned from knocking Roy Jones Jr out as rule announced for comeback fight

    By Ollie Salt, Sport Reporter - The Daily Star




    Mike Tyson will not be allowed to knock Roy Jones Jr out during their eagerly-awaited exhibition bout on Saturday night.

    The former undisputed heavyweight champion is making a shock return to boxing at the age of 54, almost 14 years since he last climbed through the ropes.

    He is set to take on a fellow fighting legend in Jones, 51, who claimed world titles in four separate weight classes during his own illustrious career.

    Both men have rubbished suggestions they will not be taking the fight seriously this weekend, while also blasting the WBC’s decision to reduce round lengths from three minutes to two minutes.

    However, there will no ringside at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday night - meaning there will be no official winner announced after the eight-round contest.

    The WBC will have former fighters Christy Martin, Vinny Pazienza and Chad Dawson scoring the bout remotely, nevertheless, and the unofficial winner they select will receive a special ‘Frontline Battle Belt’.



    California State Athletic Commission chief Andy Foster insists the contest will be brought to a halt if either Tyson or Jones sustain a cut, while knockouts will strictly not be permitted.

    UFC president Dana White has been left baffled by the rules set up for the exhibition bout, saying: “There's no knockouts? They're not allowed to knock each other out?



    “How do you enforce that?”

    Tyson and Jones do not have to wear protective headgear, but they will be donning bigger 12oz gloves in the hope of minimising damage.

    They have also been made to fight a shorter 16-minute bout considering their age and, particularly in Tyson’s case, time away from the ring.

    ‘Iron’ Mike last competed in a series of exhibition bouts against Corey Sanders in 2006, while his last professional contest came in a knockout defeat against Kevin McBride the previous year.

    Jones was last in action as recently as February 2018, when he claimed a comfortable points victory against Scott Sigmon.

    Jones had a quicker jab in the early rounds but you could tell he was staying the fuck away from Tyson Jones was tired af by the end of the bout, while Tyson looked like he could have gone until round 12. Tyson actually looked really good. Not really surprising that they called it a draw tho.

    Guy asked Tyson if this meant he was going to seek a license and fight officially, but Tyson said no, this is bigger than world championships and all that, this is for charity.

    Then Tyson got pissed when interviewer was saying how they were concerned for Jones' health, Tyson was like what about my health, noone was worried about that!

    So it looks like Tyson will definitely look to set up a few more charity bouts!




    Oh, and Nate Robinson has no business being in a ring.....like Israel Adesanya said while commentating "you dont 'play' boxing"

    it was actually annoying af to watch, Robinson just basically kept running for hugs and eventually Paul got a couple brain scramblers in, Robinson made it to his feet at #9 on the first two almost-KOs...this last one he was laying on the canvas for like 5+ minutes it seemed.

    Can't find any footage of the latest Tyson fight. Is it behind a paywall or something?

    Apparently it's a draw and they are saying Tyson was robbed

    Found one.

    Man, it sure looks like Tyson had the upper edge and that, frankly, he could have KO'd Jones at any stage.

    I liked Snoops commentary.. One of the highlights was when Snoop compared the fight to his two uncles fighting at the family cookout. “Grandma, they out there fighting again,” he said at a point.

    Sad. What a fighter. The announcement was odd. Wife said her beloved husband "died unexpectedly at his home"
    I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
