Do you think they should just have a bit of a push and pull, everyone can have a push and a pull ala Carl Froch style Twentyman?
Yep exactly this. Unsure if it's with our without head guards though? I heard they've agreed 12oz gloves. If they were going at it properly, Roy was fighting up until 2 years ago... I don't see Mike beating him.
Roy's punch resistance has gone oh so badly now though Tyson hits one solid punch to the chin and Roy's out
I feel ashamed but I’m actually reasonably interested in seeing this. Both of them could do with the coin, both shot legends, not far off a 50/50 (because they’re both so past it).
Doubt there will be a knockout unless that's what Roy signed for, Tyson is ancient now and they are using sparring gloves.
Head of the Californian commission seemed to think neither guy is going to be going full tilt and they will simply be moving around the ring. If that’s the case I will swerve it. If it’s the launch of a full contact veterans fight league I’m in. would love them to throw in Briggs, Lewis, Holyfield, Hopkins, Klitschko big knockout style tournament would actually have some legs imo
Tyson has a semi decent thirty seconds in him at full pelt, the fans go beserk, then he ages thirty years in an instant and people remember he’s in his fifties and been on the biftas.
I can't see this being 'serious' but say ego comes into play and it does........ Will he actually have the ability to hit Roy? I'd see Roy just staying out the way for 2 mins and Tyson's blown his gasket
Agree, I'm sure that Tyson has still got it to some extent but RJJ was an elite level boxer himself, has been training regularly and is coming of a run of 4 wins (last fight 2018). Tyson on the other hand has been regularly on the drink and drugs, in and out of rehab, last fought in 2005 and is coming in off 3 KO's in his last 4. Remarkably he is still favourites with the bookies.
That movements long gone though Id put my money on Tyson stoppage by the 4th here as both will be blowing out their back sides by the end of the 2nd
