Comments Thread For: CSAC Andy Foster: We Can't Mislead Public That Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. Is Real Fight

This is actually depressing to read. What the hell is this then? A live fake fight? Something like a Rocky movie recording? A WWE event?

It sounds like they're both pre-warned to not hurt each other which is very understandable at their age. The lack of judges? I mean cmon, at least give some reason to watch for a victor at the end. Yet I also understand that aspect. If judges were involved, it would entice them to try harder to win which clearly they aren't aiming for.

They're literally putting two living legends in the ring together to get fanbois excited, yet that's probably as real as it's going to get. Both are going to hold punches and not go 100%

Again, I completely get it, they're old as f**k to be taking any abuse or suffer a brutal KO at their age. No commission or event organizer wants to be responsible for that. I'm just not sure how they're going to market it with the false pretense that they'll engage each other as if they were 20 years old...

The special rules for this exhibition won't make a difference to a lot of the buying public. They will pay just to see Mike in the ring in any capacity. Exhibition bouts typically don't have judges. It's not considered a real fight which is why it won't be on their records.
I'm not surprised by the rules at all.

You're living in a dream world. Mike is NOT the killer he once was. ****, he got KO'd by journeyman Kevin McBride 15 years ago! Since then, he's been smoking weed flat out, which will seriously affect his lung capacity and thus stamina, on top of being old.
Everyone is getting nostalgic, thinking that Iron Mike of old is going to come out and start a new takeover. I love Mike as much as the next guy but I hate to burst the bubble of all the delusional fanboys, it just ain't gonna happen.

You're Clearly not picking up the sarcasm of my comment or where it stems from.
