🥊[Boxing] Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Junior [PPV on Nov. 28]

[Pamadar]

This might be dangerous for both heavyweights we all know that both boxer is a great boxer but their age is not for fighting anymore also they chose to have this exhibition fight without protective gears which may result to permanent or serious damage.

It's really dangerous, and they know that as they are retired professional boxers. They took this fight and that means they know and will also take the risk, the point of training is to prepare for the fight, not only to win but to survive, so let's just trust them as they know what they are doing and let's hope no one will be seriously injured in the fight.

The very best that we can do is to hope that after the fight no serious damage for both of them, the chance though is really high
as we don't know how aggressive this both fighters, knowing that they've both have respected names inside this ring.
The danger should be foreseen by the referee before the damage got seriously. Both camps agreed with the rules for sure the
training will be done accordingly.

I haven't seen any latest video from him.

I searched on YouTube but most of the videos uploaded from his matches were years ago or a year ago has passed. There's no recent one unlike with Mike, he has recent videos of his training.

I'm also waiting for someone to upload it for us.

The one that I shared seems to be the latest, have you watched the youtube video I shared?

Here again, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mu3vLhafq4... This was updated last July 23, 2020, only less than a month.

Thank you!

Didn't see this video yet and it's a good comparison how they train even just for a short clip. I see that Roy is also in condition on this video but I'm more impressed with Mike's training. This is getting excited.

If you are not a fan of Mike, you should be happy as you can bet against him. However, it's just a clip, not the entire actual training so we can't really tell who trains hard between the two, but one thing I know is they have the obligation to entertain the fans as for sure we are going to pay for the PPV to watch it.

it is not the training now that is important but who stays fit through the years when they retired in boxing.

Tyson is one best fighter of all time but what happens to him after the retirement?did he stays having training or stopped and just back now because of this fight?

but i am still a Mike Tyson Fan so will bet on His side but small amount only.

I don't like to question their fitness because when they accepted this fight, I know they are still fit to fight. Looking at their physical appearance, obviously you can tell that they are fit to fight, so for me, training is the most important as that would give them good stamina during the fight, considering this fight needs a KO to win.

Well you have a point but as what i have said even how is the status of  Mike still I'll bet for  Him.

and also that is what made this fight hard since KO is what needed.
considering their ages now.
Hope both fighter will still safe after the Game.

Yes, it is dangerous for both, but we can hope that both will be okay and not get serious injuries. With the old ages, it will not easy for both of them to survive in the match because they need to use their power to accept every punch from the opponent. The result of this match will be interesting since both of them are a pro fighter in boxing.

Don't think too much on the injury, this is a fight for the old vs young, it's the old vs the old, so they can surely take punches. Let's just enjoy the fight when it happens and don't forget to bet on it, just bet on your favorite, it could be Mike or Roy Jones, as long as you can enjoy with some bear or popcorn in the table.

Even though both boxers are over 50 years old, that doesn't make the fight between Tyson and Jones Jr. unattractive.
I'm sure both of them will fight seriously and give their best, and I predict Tyson will win this match. Not that Jones Jr. is
a bad boxer, but I think Tyson is a little better than Jones Jr.

It may just not be that aggressive considering the ages of both, but still it is going to be a very good fight and looking forward to this event. I t will be a good time, and both will play their best and also will be good to watch the legend back in the field and also in lockdown nothing much to do as well. This live event is really a good thing to happen for now.

I didn't said that I'm not a fan of Mike but I'm more with him as it's more exciting to see more of his trainings.

It's true that they're just a clip and as I've said, I'm just impressed. I'm not an expert in boxing and they're training but with those blows, who can say that they are not impressive?  

We can't wait until these two goes on the spar.

well the problem is that when you get older, the condition of the human body will be more vulnerable and of course pain will be more different than before when you were young you could receive all the pain from various kinds of blows because you still have the strength to withstand it, but if get older the power will fade away.

Tyson maybe can control himself, but how about Jones? I am worried if Tyson gets brutal, and Jones can not hold or control himself, that might be a dangerous fight because both fighters will use all of their power and skill to beat and KO the opponent. I am enjoying the fighter, but I just worry about both of them because they still human, and they can lose control in the middle of the match.

I agree with you. It is another problem for both fighter because when someone is getting old, he can easily get an injury from a simple thing. Maybe the exhibition can be changed into having fun to entertain the audience so that the injury factor can be avoided. Besides that, if the match can raise funds, it would better for both so that they can prevent the injury.

This is insane! I mean, Mike's power and explosive punches are still there. Man! that punches will hurt you even if its land on your arm. His opponent needs to strengthen his defense or else he gonna let those punches land on his face and it will be a game over for sure. Mike's punches are unique, we never seen such kind of explosiveness in the other boxers even after he retired in professional boxing. Do you guys think this match will not end at final round? as for me, Yes!

since it is an exhibition fight, i guess they have certain limitations and agreement on both sides, whether how far they will go on each other. as the fight might have long lasting effect on their respective bodies. but interesting how this fight will gonna be inside the ring...the comeback of legends!

Mikes power will always there because His problem eversince is the stamina thats why he Bite Holifield's  ears because he cannot stand the long Fight since he also cannot bring holifield down for the first rounds.

But of course this is plus factor though Jones is surely aware of this and may just circling the ring until Tyson lose His stamina .

They would not go for long as they both will aim to knockout their opponent since it's the only way to win in this match up.
It's pretty clear in the rule that one should be KOd for the other player to win, so in terms of power, we have Mike who got the advantage but Roy is the younger boxer so he could use his advantage too to prolong the fight and once Mike gas out, that would be his chance to find a solid punch to KO Mike.

Seems that the discussion is going circles, however, there are some updates.

Roy Jones Angered Over Delay in Mike Tyson Fight, Threatens Withdrawal

"I’ve had to cancel other stuff to be out here, it’s upset my calendar, I’ve got to change things. That’s why we have to table bullsh-t now. That’s the biggest issue, I’m not a full time boxer anymore so I do other things to make an income. If I can’t do other things then I should be compensated for that, because it changes the schematics. It’s not acceptable," Jones told Daily Mail.

https://www.boxingscene.com/roy-jones-angered-over-delay-mike-tyson-fight-threatens-withdrawal--151046

Hmm, so Jones are threatening to pull out if he is not compensated for the days he lost because it has been rescheduled. What do you think if Jones pull the plug out of this one? Are we going to see the much awaited Tyson-Holyfield then?

Jones have a point, he values his time well and so promoter has to compensate him on the delay of fight.
At least he said he needs to be compensate, it's still likely that the fight will push through despite some delay, maybe they did not reach their target(money) yet?

Not only going for KO but also on making more points as well and thats the primary target and all of boxing fans out there do knows on what are the flaws or problem of Mike tyson which is indeed his stamina.
On his career we do saw that majority of his fights dont last too long because he do able to KO his opponent but we've seen fighters or opponents that do last up for longer rounds
and you can see on this vid on all of his losses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwTlLWOfbO4 . Well, all boxer does have its flaws.

I agree, they have target an original date and so Roy Jones stick with it and cancel his appearances and of course he definitely lost chunk of money. We all know that fighters like him still command good money for just appearances and doing some interviews or as boxing commentators.

So let's see if the other side will give what he wants. I'm not really sure about the targeted amount of money, so it's either they did not reach the money yet or they reach it already but wanted more and take advantage of the hype fight between the two legends.

[Kasabus]

since it is an exhibition fight, i guess they have certain limitations and agreement on both sides, whether how far they will go on each other. as the fight might have long lasting effect on their respective bodies. but interesting how this fight will gonna be inside the ring...the comeback of legends!

I hope so because if both fighters don't listen to the agreement or certain limitations, it can trigger to explore their emotions, and in the end, that can be serious fighting between them. If that happens, that will be bloody fighting for both because they are a pro fighter. I think the rounds to fight will not have takes too long because of their health, so they don't have to spend all of their power to that fight. Well, we hope that everything will be okay in the match.

Promoters set the rules of the exhibition fight but they make the rule a war between the two, so don't expect that no one will get harm. This is the rule for those who haven't read it yet. Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. To Have No Judges; Winner Only To Be Determined By Stoppage

What i mean here is Roy may wait Mike lose His stamina before taking the advantage as what other boxers do when they fight Mike over the ring.
Roy will not risk His chance to Go Blow by Blow to Mike since i am sure he is aware about the power of Tyson.
so If he will wait for Him to get tired then the chance is on Him and maybe Tyson an easy target.

It's already been hype by boxing related websites, but we don't have the exact figures if the target money is already there. They can still salvage this fight though, that is if Jones agree to be compensated, boxing is business so we need to understand where Jones is coming from here. If Jones doesn't want to continue then I do hope that Holyfield will accept it.

[Russlenat]

If Jones doesn't want to continue then I do hope that Holyfield will accept it.

The hype started with Holyfield vs Tyson, what happened to that fight? I thought that was a better match up than this current fight, but out of nowhere Tyson vs Jones came up, so if this fight would still be cancelled, people would really be disappointed, including me.
