Roy Jones v Mike Tyson

Just crazy. So hard to know what either guy has left.

 

As impressive as Tyson's pad work is, I think his lack of stamina, age, and his explosive style may come back to haunt him if he doesn't end things within 4 rounds. Roy is not the sort of guy you want to be stuck in a ring with all night. If Roy even has 20% of his ring generalship, footwork, and reflexes left, he will make Tyson earn every cent. Of course a single flush bomb or combination could potentially end things. Roy cannot relax for a split second.

If it's scheduled for 6-8 rounds I favor Tyson by KO or by a clear decision. If its scheduled for 12 and Roy has managed to avoid getting dropped somehow by the 8th, I see him winning a close decision (on paper if they're scoring it). I don't trust Roy's chin though.

 

I believe it's an 8-Round Exhibition Bout.

How we actually gauge this one on form is anybody's guess but, at least we know that Jones has been active more recently than Tyson and he also has that advantage of being a youthful 51, compared to Tyson's 54 years of age.

 

It belongs in the funny section of the Sunday paper. This may spell the end of my interest in boxing

 

Why does boxrec have Tyson rated as active?

Well it's getting closer and as far as I'm aware not being canceled or anything.. Yet.
But yes it's going to be interesting to see how these ATG s fare against each other.
I realize it's just an exhibition but you can't tell me the old competitive juices won't be flowing between the two.
Not sure if it's three rounds or what but I'm going to predict that Jones doesn't see past two.
Look for Tyson to end it fast.

 

Does Roy have a chin anymore?

 

I know that it seems like a joke of a fight, but it might not necessarily be so. In the MMA world there have been some EPIC fights between declined older fighters that happened to be evenly matched. This could turn out to be very entertaining.

 

Give me 1997 RJJ over 1987 Mike Tyson!!! I know you feel the same way!

 

If he gets past Jones, I want to see him wreck that other Tyson.....Fury, next!

 

I think Mike wins, he is all wrong for Roy
