I just hope its a good fight, and that we see at least a sliver of what both of these boxers have been capable of in the past. I don't want this to be embarrassing to either boxer or to the sport.
Roy’s punch resistance is completely gone, I just hope they don’t try to go all out and back off if someone gets rocked.
As someone who grew up watching both I just have to say how sad this is. Roy has a net worth of forty five million dollars and the punch resistance of a jello pudding pop. He isn’t doing this for the money which leads me to believe he can’t let go (obvious since he carried the corpse of his career around for years) or he wants to help Tyson let go like no one helped him. Tyson on the other hand while only being worth three to five million also doesn’t need the money. Yes it’s a far cry from what he has had, but he owns his own homes and can live off his money. Too often this occurs with greats. Ali’s last two losses, Tyson’s last two losses, Jones Jr last seven or so losses etc etc. It’s not exciting so much as it’s like planning a train wreck. Here’s hoping they do it smart.
I don't get this fight. Exhibition is still getting hit. And 8 rounds is a long time to get tired or hit. I hope neither guy gets hurt or stunned too much.
