Roy :smh:






They aren't going to try for KOs?....can Tyson fight like that?....for an exhibition I actually like it....just not sure what I am going to see....I get that its all in fun but how can Mike possibly hope to win without going for the ko and 8 rounds seems kinda long

Roy Jones biggest strength was his quickness. He doesn't have that quickness anymore. Mike Tyson has always had boxing skills, plus the knockout power.

Will be interesting....Roy lost his superman reflexes but still continued with his habit of laying back against the ropes even when he couldn't take advantage of openings against higher level comp....but he is still a boxing savant...Roy should be the better conditioned of the two since he is still semi active....no idea what Tyson still possesses

Please no, Mike. Please no, Roy. I don't even care if any proceeds go to charity. Just live your lives.

This type of shit at this stage of these men's lives should be happening at Wrestlemania or Summer Slam as a 6 man tag match with two wrestlers on each team doing most of the fighting.

If you don't get what I'm saying, It's too late for this shit.

Jones will circle and pop, tired him out then pepper him
This is what I am thinking as well...if Roy lean on the ropes maybe Mike can lean on him with the bigger weight and do something with his hook and uppercut combo if he can catch him ....Tyson will probably be tired as hell after 3

Roy can’t stand still at all or his rib will be in his socks. Roy needs to stay at angles and shoot jabs and make Mike pick up his feet. Circle left and right with jabs and Mike will gassed in 3 rounds. Jones will need a stoppage on accumulation because he can’t KO Mike.

This more a glorified sparring session so I dont expect anybody to be looking for a ko...will be funny to watch Mike as his whole style is setup to allow a short heavyweight to knock out taller guys...peek a boo pressure style with short bursts of explosive energy (LOL Mike gonna be tired as shit real quick)...man I cant wait for this shit the more I think bout it...nice stop gap until big fights come back
