    U really are made outta silly putty.

    Orchestrated going thru the gears show for the fans.
    Tyson didn't have any of the Catskill crew with him back then.

    That's what's different this time. If you bothered to watch Mike's recent training videos or knew anything about the D'Amato style you would have spotted it right away.

    But U just a crappy, know-nothing troll. Go back to watching that imaginary Willie Pep vs Ray Robinson VHS tape.

        Jones looked tired from the second round on and held a lot. Showed some flashes but not enough. For 54 years old and out of the ring for 15 years Tyson looked good. Good head movement and both hand and foot speed. 6-2 for Mike in my opinion. Lot of clinching by Roy, but who could blame him? Doubtful Tyson could compete with top heavyweights today, and he says he doesn't want to. But I'd favor him to be competitive against anyone outside the top 20 best today. Not the greatest fight I've ever seen, but not the worst either. Hays off to both guys for stepping in there.

          I haven’t looked at the result yet (was too cheap to buy the PPV). Does anyone have a link or download to the fight? Thanks

            This is terrible quality film. Looking at this looks nothing the way it did live.

              If a fight ends in a draw, they should have both fighters fight a tie breaker round. And how come if someone tests positive for a banned substance, a fight result can be overturned to a no contest, but a bad decision can't be overturned to the other fighter? And don't give me this bets are paid out crap because the same thing happens in the first case with a no contest, so why can't it be done? It just sounds like boxing commissions have no balls.

                This was a prearranged exhibition. The scores weren't official. But I agree 100% scoring and judges need to be held accountable. Problem, it's subjective. Not like football, basketball or baseball. Some bad judging though is blatantly obvious and when bad scores occur then I think judges need to be suspended for at least a year from scoring another fight.

                  And overturned. Like the guy who forgot to add an extra knockdown in the first Manny/Marquez fight costing him a point and the fight.

                    The fight sickens me. Nobody at that age should be allowed to fight. I didn’t watch and I don’t intend to either.

                      That's your right to have that opinion old friend. Myself, I think if they can pass the physical and what other tests they have to, to each his own.

                      I'm 51 and started training again (muay thai) 2 months ago. I've already talked to my people and told them I want to fight. I was told as long as I can pass the medical and they think I'm able I can get a fight when this covid ***** is over with. I'm not doing it to be a tough guy, I don't even care if I lose so long as I give it my best. I just want to test myself.

                      Of course this will be an amateur fight and no where near the level of fighter Jones or Tyson is. Even at their age they are to much for all but the very elite amateurs in the world.
