    • Theres always some action going on somewhere. Cant expect nothing less in the hurt business. Even amateur Boxing has a deep gambling circuit.

    • Danny USA. Toney and Hopkins used to talk shit to each other back in the day so it wouldn’t be a bad idea given what is going on here.

  • Don’t be surprised if Roy beats Tyson. He deals well with that kind of style. Remember how he outclassed Jeff Lacy and even outboxed James Toney and Hopkins. But if Tyson Lands it’s OVER.

    • This is post concussed RJJ. He’s getting flattened. I don’t like this fight since it’s 20 years too late.

    • Joe, nah! Tyson’s style is different. It all boils down to whether Tyson can still do enough of what he used to do and whether jones has some reflexes. If any of that is off then the one with out it loses.

    • I’m willing to put serious money that Jones will beat Tyson. He’s been active until just a couple years ago, I’m not sure what weight Tyson is at now or is planning on comming in at. I’m guessing around 215 with his new trimmed down physique and vegan diet. I’m guessing Jones will come in around 200lbs give or take- not a huge discrepancy. Granted, Jone’s last fights were against very questionable opposition, but I think he still has enough to avoid Tyson’s bombs and even at 51, still has faster hands than most people Tyson has faced. Definitely faster than Kevin McBride! In any event, this will not be a pretty fight

      • I will bet you $5,000 usd that Tyson annihilates Jones!!! Jones has TWO names worth mentioning in the past decade, Lebedev and Maccarinelli. They both nearly killed him. Let’s bet!

        • @Berserker-My momma told me when I was a young lad not to place bets with strangers I come across on the internet!

        • That Maccarinelli KO was scary…RJJ looked like a statue falling. And I think about the first punch RJJ took from John Ruiz that buckled his legs. Not a good fight for Roy, even with headgear.

  • Right now, Roy would knock mike Tyson out if they took this exhibition fight seriously. He’s still Very active at the moment. Just watch and see

    Ofcourse, if it’s for fun and games Roy is too nice a guy to inflict that substantial amount of hurt on Tyson. So, it may not go as people might think – hopefully this is the case as I love both guys

    But for anyone who thinks Tyson is still good hahaha he may look good on the mitts but believe me he is nowhere near as good as most think currently, with all due respect to this legend

    I seen it many times – looks good and flashy on the ropes, mitts. Even looks explosive on the bag, bell rings – old age is shown and by a mile too

    • Wrong. Tyson destroys RJJ who has only two names worth mentioning on his record in the past decade and was knocked out by both.

  • There’s no such thing as 2 former world champs going easy. But it’s better than any other real heavyweight fight out there.

  • Exhibition to me means a not so serious sparring match with half-power punches. Some exhibitions are even “fixed” like a circus show simply for the fighters to make a few dollars suckering you into buying it for your viewing pleasure. Any suckers out there?

  • how is this 20 years too late? Jones did not fight John Ruiz until 2003. Del Valle floored Jones in mid 98. Jones wasn’t legit at light heavyweight until he fought Virgil Hill in 1998, and Hill was winning until the body shot, where Hill turned with the punch and it hit him the back. Tyson couldn’t be trusted to do the right thing in 1999, 2000. But he was still delivering one punch KOs back then. Tyson and Jones in 96 before the 1st Holyfield fight might have been the right time.

  • People talking like Tyson has anything left. I think Roy has been shot for 15 years, but Tyson hasn’t been shit for 30.

  • HELL YES I’m watching this!!! Is this a waste of time and money?….HELL YES!!! It’s going to be like an old timer basketball game where you get once great athletes looking very average and old, even the ones that are recently retired. You watch guys thinking-“Man, just 3 years ago this guy was playing in NBA all -star games and doing amazing dunks, now his feet barely leave the ground and could barely make a lay-up!” This fight will be the boxing version of that. All this crap about Tyson looking awesome on the mitts and being in great shape means nothing unless he does it in the ring after the bell rings. I think RJ will remind people why Mike Tyson retired when he did and make him wish he stayed retired.

    • @A-Do you see things going well for Tyson? I really don’t see things going well for either one of them. Both of these guys were unbeatable in their primes, but that was 30 and 17 years ago respectively. A man doesn’t just forget how to box, so even at their ages, they can look like their spectacular former selves in training- it’s not like they’re 70! Once that bell rings however, if it actually does, I think they will both be wondering why they signed up for this. All that being said, Roy Jones will win with Tyson either quitting or getting disqualified

  • I see Tyson coming out ferocious as all hell!!!!! Viscious shots and really winning over the crowd!!! Unfortunately, that will last 2 MAYBE 3 rounds and he will be dead tired. Roy will weather the storm hopefully and then simply put it to Tyson to prove that he is still a credible opponent and can try and make some money in future old timer fights….. But go easy on each other, I DOUBT that. They are both too proud and macho for that

  • Easy work for Tyson. Tyson is more fundamentally sound, body is rested, is sharp, and ready.

    Jones was a speed fighter. He is a junk yard ready broken down car. Tyson will destroy him.

  • Eight rounds are too many. Exhibition fights are 3 rounds. Boxers can´t take it anymore at that age.

  • It was just reported that the one and only tanya harding will be the ring girl.

    • This is all entertainment, Tyson still has the public curiously. Who ever thought about this fight is a genius..! The two old fighters making money and us, the public will pay to see this, theater of the on expected..!
      Relax kids and enjoy

  • if this was real jones would make tyson look like a fool unless he landed lucky punch

  • Good luck Mike, in your new endeavor. Your style may be impetuous, your defense impregnable, and you may be just as ferocious as you once were. Father Time however, is undefeated, and he now has the assistance of a very deadly and high contagious friend called COVID-19!
