what is gbp doing? they are striking out on all the mexican holiday dates which is supposed to be theirs lol.

Dazn doesn’t have the capital to put on the big fights anymore.

Woah Woah, 8 rounds is WAY too long. At their age, that's like fighting to the death. Neither will want to quit, therefore, we're going to see someone get hurt. They won't have the stamina for 8 rounds. This should be 3 rounds MAX. 8 rounds is a FIGHT.

Judging by Tyson’s past exhibitions, if he hits Roy Jones like he did against Corey Sanders, it’s lights out. There’s nothing Roy can hit Mike with to get his attention.

I thin k 51 year old Jones will get the best of Tyson and end the dreams of a few Tyson fans who think he can win a world title at age 54.

I will agree with you. Jones has kept a bit active and that is what will make the difference.

Roy gonna die.

Anyone that thinks this will be anything remotely close to a real fight is disillusioned right now. Neither fighter will try to seriously hurt or knock out the other one. Mark my words, this “EXHIBITION” fight will kill future excitement for more and hurt other possible matchups. REAL fight fans want to see blood splattered and brutal knockouts. This will have neither. It will be at best, a light natured sparring session.

But here is the Million Dollar question. Can Mike tone down and/or hold back on his aggressive punching style and killer mentality. And if he throws at Roy really hard and misses, does it then become a “real fight.” Because Roy is the kind of fighter that goes into real fight mode real quick just like Tyson does. But if Mike come out throwing bombs in round 1, this fight will end in the 1st rd. Lessor powerful punchers got Roy out in less than 3 rds.

Jesus christ. 8 rounds?? Like mike can do more than 2 rounds ffs. Mike KO in the 1st or 2nd or Roy KO in the 3rd or 4th.

WAR Tyson!!!!!!!


He ain't getting up Jim!

Only sucks it's an exhibition lmao.

[ELPacman]

lol. 54 years old and still willing to face a BOXER rather than a freak show fight vs a kick boxer or MMA guy. ZING!!!

Sorry, I had to throw that out there,

This is the difference between making money and making a legacy (granted Tyson doesn't need anything further with regarding his legacy).

I agree. I don't think they're looking to murder each other but both are competitive. Mike's ferocious nature might just come out of him once he's hit. I'm not sure Jones can take any clean shots these days without going down. It'll be a matter of avoiding any kind of shot from Mike regardless if there is a lot of power behind them or not, and just hitting and moving.

I highly doubt Roy got enough in him to truly hurt or drop Mike, even if they were both in their primes and the heavyweight Roy fought Mike.
