He tried that with Lennox Lewis. Looked great for about a min and a half of the first round then Lewis figured him out and dismantled him.
I don’t think Roy is capable of that but I would favor Roy Jones in this setting. Old ass Tyson isn’t knocking anyone out.

I mean he got ktfo by Danny Green about 15 years ago so I'm guessing not, I don't really see him winning without them tbh.
yeah people always talking up oh roy was active until 2018.... the last 10 years of his career are chit, he was stopped by every decent fighter he fought except a shot Hopkins.
He was done after 2008. 2008-2018 were either him getting knocked out, him having a glorified sparring session with some journey man or him fighting some mma or barenuckle fighter.
I watched his last 2018 farewell fight and it looked like the guy was pulling his punches, even the bodyshots in the clinch, he was just touching roy in the clinch, it was not a real fight IMO.

I am expecting a KO for Tyson:
- power is the last to go, Tyson has heavyweight power
- Roys chin has been shot for 15 years
- Roys legs are gone, Tyson should be able to catch him
My only concerns:
- I dont see anything yet of Tyson doing real sparring, did he actually spar for this fight? I see mitt work, "sparring" with his coach, bag work ect, did he do real sparring? I know Jones would have actual sparring, he has his own gym. Judah came out and was saying Mike is knocking out teeth and chit in the gym. I dont think he would lie but I havent seen like other sparring partners talking about it.

I am interested in seeing the fight but I'm certainly not going to be buying it...I don't expect much from 2 men their age. They look to be in great shape for their age but in the end I suspect it will be kind of sad seeing what father time has done to 2 of my favorite fighters. Then again I hope they have trained as hard as it looks like they may have and that they both come out guns blazing! I know there is supposed to be a "no KO" stipulation in place but if Mike catches Roy with a good one I can easily see an accidental KO. I DO want to see it but I don't think it's gonna be worth paying for

Roy is too smart too active for Mike. Should win on points or a tko. The real loss is both my heroes fighting each other 😮

I think Roy has to really move with Mike because of his chin but the issue is i dont think Roy can move as much anymore even from a year or so ago.
Roy has slowed down too much but i understand he might need the money so i respect that.
