    I have also been thinking this and I think that Tyson still has that mystique that makes fans think he is still a force but they will be in for a surprise. I can see Roys schooling him after a couple rounds once Tyson gasses, his lung capacity would surely be affected by his weed habit.

    When was the last time a fight billed as an exhibition turned into a real fight????

    They're fighting for charity so I cant see where they're going to put themselves on the line.

    I see it as a sparring session draw!

    Good video Rummy and I agree I hope both guys have some fun but don’t get to heated so neither guy gets hurt.

    This entered my mind too. He looked bad 15years ago but it's hard to say what toll his lifestyle took on him then and how that compares to the toll age has taken on him now

    Hopefully Roy accidentally jams him in the eye early with a hard edge on his glove

    A rage flows through Mike's body as his eye sheds a tear and he slips inside using all his energy and unloads turning Roy into a toothepaste tube.

    But I expect it to be a jib jab around job.

    My prediction for this is they will probably start it easy but both cant help themselves, Roy will start showboating and Mike will lose it and will knock him out.

    Even a light sparring session could be a problem for Jones, he get's decked in a strong wind these days.

    I think he's mentally ill. Insecure, deluded, etc.

    You are dreaming kid if you think that Tyson at 54 would have any chance with any young hw in the top 20.

    It's only an exhibition till someone gets smacked hard in the head. Just might resemble the Canelo / Kovalev fight.

    Thank God. Honestly, aside from a small group of sad people who believe in fifty year olds killing each other to sate some kind of bloodlust, I don’t believe anyone really wants to see Mike or Roy get hurt. I certainly don’t.

    Agreed. Rummys corner is top quality stuff. Even when I disagree with some of your points @Rumsfeld , I still enjoy your analysis and breakdowns.
