Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson-Roy Jones: Nostalgic Tale or Moral Dilemma

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It's an event. It's a curiosity. And, yes, it will probably be a fight. It seems like no one knows what to expect when a 54-year-old Mike Tyson meets a 51-year-old Roy Jones inside the STAPLES Center on Saturday because the contest comes under the exhibition banner.

It’s a circus side show... I grew up going to the california fair and Ringling Brothers and Barlem and Bailey Circus.

I used to go and watch Raul Mata, vs Kenji Shibuya, and other old time pro rassling

I’d go to Mexico and watch bull fights and Luche Libre..

I miss those old business that are gone and have been replaced by inferior BS.

They're grown men and they are entitled to their choices. If they want to have a fight, Let them, nobody is forcing them in and they will be paid handsomely for it

What's less moral, this pseudo-fight for charity - on paper, at least - or Muhammad Ali getting pushed by force on a ring vs a young Larry Holmes after he had failed a brain scan?

I think what will happen is when someone (Jones) gets hurt or stunned, he will get way longer than an 8 count...theyll stop the action to allow full recovery. Im gonna pass, lll catch the highlights later... but Mike lookin good at 54 though!

I am about as "interested" in this circus as i was for Floyd v Conor!

Have not spoke about this much because it’s a novelty act and both fighters are 5% of what they were so itholds no appeal to me....will I watch it on YouTube or a stream ? Probably but I’ll look at it as two ex pros who want to make a little money and clowns who try to say it’s a real boxing fight.
This kind of thing was going to happen as soon as that social media fight made big money

It's as ridiculous as a scene from the film 'cocoon' these guys should be in their pyjamas with a cup of hot chocolate... just ridiculously sad and taking the piss out of our great sport.
Move on idiots....

No one on the forum would last one day in Tysons training camp regimen. You guys talk as if you yourselfs can even last one minute in a boxing match against qualified fighters ,not even I’m that delusional and have boxed . If someone told Mike he should be in that movie cocoon my guess is they are in a moving car . Ha

What’s more funny you got older guys who are still boxing like McCall, Holmes boxed in his 50s but no one says anything .

Once your brain has been damaged, the damage can only get worse. People who say 'Mike won't be eating the same sort of shots he took from H/Ws' or 'Roy will be too clever to take more than one big hit' don't understand that the damage is cumulative.

Mike is already, I think, slurring a bit. Not sure about Roy.

I wish to god this wasn't happening, & if I had a religion I'd pray they both end up OK & still in possession of their faculties. Like my man, Bread, I won't be watching this cynical promotion.
