I miss boxing just as much as everyone but chill, the world don’t need this.

This’ll be Holyfields 3rd crack at a Tyson who’s as committed to the game as one that’s ready for exhibition matches.

Holyfield is in better fighting shape than Tyson. It’s almost unfair. Holyfield has 9 years away, and his last few fights weren’t embarrassing at all, he actually looked pretty good not only for his age, but as a boxer period. Tyson has been away for 15 years and his last few fights were a big fall from grace.

This is absurd. Two guys who timing, balance, and coordination will be way off. And slow to pull the trigger. This is seriously not needed.

It is an exhibition...No harm in that, i would def watch..

[Larry the boss]

why is everyone trying to make this more then what it is?? neither are fighting for a title or contendership...its an EXHIBITION BOUT!!!!

This is what happens when the world is shut down.

Idk I'll watch it but im not gonna pay to watch it.. but im not excited for it either. It will just be another 3 rounds 9 minutes of my life I'll waste.

Maybe Tyson will get butted and he'll have a flash back and start biting holyfield again. That will make it worth watching.

Mike Tyson was matched badly in his last two fights, but he was winning both fights before his Knee Injury. Mike Tyson was dangerous right up until the end in his career, he was never in my opinion? Humiliated inside of the ring 'Always displayed resistance and offensive aggression'.

I don't think Tyson's fights vs Williams or Mcbride can be described as embarrassing. The Williams fight was exciting as Tyson was putting a beating on William's before the knee injury, which was the same injury which effected him in his fight against Mcbride.

Holyfield during the end of his career, offensively was not dangerous 'His offense suffered more than Mike Tyson's, to the point where smaller fighters such as James Toney where plowing forward against him arrogantly'. Not at any stage of his career, where fighters just plowing forward against Mike Tyson arrogantly, fighters where always apprehensive of his offense.

Note: But right now as we speak, I am under no illusion. If both of these guys fight, it should just be a 4- 6 round exhibition 'Nothing too serious'.
