    I know Tyson put out a couple 15 second Tik Tok videos hitting bags and everyone on TV went crazy, but Jones has been the far more active fighter since both their careers nose dived in 2004, and Jones has stayed in shape that whole time, whereas Tysons been doing podcasts and adult swim cartoons and stand up comedy and only recently got himself back in shape.
    It's true Jones was knocked out 13 times in a row during that stretch, so that will be the big question mark going in, but I'm betting my stimulus check that he can stay away long enough to gas Tyson out.

    It breaks down like this:
    Power < Tyson
    Speed about even
    Chin < Tyson
    Boxing Ability < Jones
    Footwork about even at this point
    Stamina < Jones
    Activity/Ring Rust < Jones

    Not hoping for such an outcome, just banking on it.
    I love both fighters dont want to see either get embarrassed....
    Anybody idea what kind of weight disparity we can expect?
    I'm guessing jones will be in right around 200, Tyson probably 225

    There's so much money to be made if Tyson wins that I wouldn't bet against it.

    Of course, plenty of casual fans are going to bet their house on Iron Mike so I see it as a crap shoot.

    So you guys all agree that they will actually be out to seriously hurt each other and gun for a stoppage?

    This is a dance around hug fest money grab boys. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but hey maybe it saves one of you a few bucks.

    Its an exhibition.

    They are milking this. People are mistaken if they think this is going to resemble anything near a real fight, imo.

    Then again its Tyson... who the hell knows.

    But imo they play it soft and its a draw or Tyson wins an SD.

    If it was a legit fight, Id back Jones.

    He was fighting professionally up until a couple of years ago and has always stayed in great shape.

    Whereas Tyson is older, been retired for 15 years and was last seen getting beaten down by Kevin McBride.

    This is an exhibition though

    I don't know what to think in this fight. Is it a real fight or are they going to go easy? If Jones stops Tyson then Mike is really is washed up. Could I see it go a few rounds and Mike is tired and Jones lands a great punch and drops Mike. Yes I could. But Jones would have to get through some tough rounds early on. I just don't know if they are going to come to fight or real or just make it a show.

    But I'll be properly miffed off if Tyson doesn't at least try and knock Jones head clean off!

    If Jones survives the early onslaught, then it´s all him. No way can Mike go 8 solid rounds.

    They're going to take turns hitting eachother just like the several Chavez vs Arce exhibition fights for charity.

    There are going to be alot of dissapointed people after this exhibition because so many think its a real fight where they're looking to do real damage to eachother.

    Do the math people, the fight is'nt being sanctioned as a proffesional fight where it counts on the record and neither fighter has come out and said they are looking to do real and serious damage to the other.
    In fact one of Tyson's last interviews he said, "when the bell rings I'm going to be right on top of him!"
    Well duh, yeah like Arce was going right at to and on top of Chavez. LOL!!!

    Pay attention people neither Tyson or Jones at any moment have said they're going to knockout out the other.
    That aint happening because its an exhibition match. Knockouts dont occur in exhibitions.

    The Chavez vs Arce fights have been huge sucesses raising money for charity. Tyson vs Jones wont suck if you look at it for what it is, an exhibition match.
