Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones - Exhibition Fight Finalized For September 12

[Mindgames]

I can see it starting off as civilized but Tyson’s style doesn’t lend itself well to an exhibition. He’s a killer. Jones will have to hurt Tyson in order to keep him off him. It will end up being a real fight.

Nah Mikes actually done it twice that I know of. He actually boxed really well moving about, he won't hurt Roy.

It's for fun, y'all acting emotional and ****.... Tyson looking good though!! RJ got knocked out his last 4-5 fights..Should be fun though.

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 might have agreed with you until I saw this a couple of weeks ago. RJJ's body is really messed up. He has no flexibility anymore...his biceps are torn...his wrists are also an issue and his neck is very tight making him very vulnerable. When I saw that video (before this fight was announced) I thought to myself "he could never fight again". Now I'm sure Tyson and everyone his age has issues also...but Tyson retired much earlier and probably hasn't forced his body to do things it could no longer do like RRJ did. I think Tyson can definitely hit harder and faster than Roy these days...I doubt Roy has any power in his punches after seeing that video. But Roy probably will have 8 rounds of stamina...Mike may tire after a few. Whatever happens I'm pretty stoked for this but this is not a comeback run at a title for sure...just a fun exhibition.

I think Roy will outjab him, if he doesn't get clipped.

Roy, please get a financial advisor and walk away. You shouldn't be in this position, your skills were legendary.

Sick of seeing people taking advantage of boxers! The price they pay going in and then after they retire with or without universal healthcare...

Mayweather is who and what he is, but he took the punishment early and coasted to financial freedom. Others can do it without selling their soul or hurting the sport.

I will definitely stream this but it's also worth nothing in the grand scheme of either man's career.

I'm in for a good circus sideshow, no way I'll pay money for this tho

Just when you thought Roy was finally safe and retired.

Then you read that he's taking on Mike Fucking Tyson.

"They are not trying to take each other's head off" lmao! the first time someone gets tagged with a good shot it will turn into a brawl.

Man, is it really 11yrs since I was getting all hype after the Sheika and Lacy fights. "JR's BACK, BABY!!!"

......with you being one of those cooler heads telling younger-ass me to calm the fuck down.
