    I noticed a "WEED-Something" logo from time to time last night on the screen...is that his?

      I don't think Holyfield would be a good idea. I think they would try and take each other's head off. Maybe an up and coming fighter with little world class experience? Maybe McBride, Danny Williams? I'm not really sure. But it would have to be someone that would treat it as an exhibition as well in my opinion. Rid**** Bowe? It's a good question.

        Rid**** Bowe is a solid option.

          I believe so. And Snoop Dogg was smoking a blunt while singing so it's pretty ingrained in the whole promotion. The announcers even commented they got a contact high!

            Boxingscene’s own Breadman pretty much spoke my sentiment before the fight. I’m all for people taking their own decisions to make the life they want to have, I just think that taking punches to the head at this age is wrong.

              I scrolled down and read the part you're talking about. Funny thing is, I agree with some of it. I went to the gym a few years ago, I had been away for about 10, and I sparred. When I got hit I remember thinking to myself "man this hurts, it never use to hurt". But I was out of shape and had no training behind me for a very long time. This time around, I know I'm slower, but I've gotten in better shape and worked on my technique more. I didn't spar my first 5 weeks back. I trained up to it. It's not like that night a few years ago now. When I get hit I see it coming most of the time or am able to react, whereas that time I went back I had no stamina, reflexes or anything else for that matter. I don't know what the hell I was thinking.

              Anyway, I'm one and done after this. I just want to get myself in the best shape I can and say I did it again and give it my best.

                Lol. Your nuts! And I actually agree with you I had a stream and did not watch. Sets a bad precedent.

                    He definitely seems to have it together nowadays.

                      the first thing I noticed, is with the 12 oz gloves Jones couldnt hurt Mike at all. Tyson being 54, but also wearing 12 oz gloves - had his power effected as well, but his punches clearly were still hurting Jones.

                      Thats pretty much it, Tyson didnt have anything to worry about when its a former middleweight wearing 12 oz gloves.
