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

[DoublerHunter]

Mike and Jones don't really need to prove anything else and since this is for charity, they could just make this fun. This is dangerous for these seniors, its very surprising that they are going to match up after years of retiring.

^ This seniors fight had been caught my attention, I don't know how they will manage themselves on this fight. I know 50's age is quite aggressive but I think they will need to have a doctor's recommendation to fight just for their health. Hence, if this is for an exhibition purpose for charity, I don't think if the match becomes scripted, lol.
Nevertheless, I am in favor of Mike Tyson here. It looks like he will win this match since he is the strongest one. I will place my bet too on this match.

There would be advisors for each corner to not take it seriously if they don't wnat all the people sitting on the ringside will just be replaced by medics.

This is very dangerous indeed and i just hope that no untoward incident will happen to them. I think this match will not be like the 3-minute per round like the regular fight if i'm no mistaken.

I voted for Jones to win this one as he would be more mobile than Mike and i expect this fight as a hug party lol. There would be a lot of clinching here from Jones as usual.

The fight of boxing is always dangerous, even those who are younger, they might get seriously injured in the ring.
I know these guys know what they are doing, and I know the promoter already have the rules of the fight to make this fight not harmful for both.

That's why it's important that we don't get too hype and expect a war because this is just an exhibition fight, just like an all star game or scrimmage in the NBA.

I'm reading some news, articles, and predictions of this fight, I found this one that I like to share.

https://www.fightsaga.com/fightsaga/news/tyson-vs-jones-prediction

Before we jump into our Tyson vs Jones predictions, what can we expect from this affair? Here is what we shouldn't expect...

Don't expect a hurt fighter to get pounced by his opponent
Don’t expect a fighter to take advantage of his opponent when the latter is sucking wind
Don’t expect a fighter to seek a knockout in any way shape or form
And don’t expect a decision in the end because exhibitions are usually not scored or ruled a draw

Therefore I conclude that we should not expect a lot of this fight, an exhibition fight is just to give a little entertainment, it's not a real contest that one fighter is aiming for a knockout and hurt his opponent, the real excitement is only in the article that we are reading because writers are good at hyping the fight, it's more like expectation vs reality here.

[tbterryboy]

I am huge fan of Mike Tyson and his skills but this might be a very fatigued fight because look let us be honest and you cannot expect the same Tyson as he was years ago and he won't have the same stamina that is required to match in a boxing match.

I just hope both the boxers come out of the ring without any major injury and while I hope this, at the same time I do not want to watch the fight going too friendly and no hits. Because let's be honest it must be hard to watch a fight that is just being done too friendly and fighters are afraid to punch each other in the face.

[coin-investor]

This fight should have happened in their prime where they could have both fighters millions of dollars since this is an exhibition match people will love to see Mike Tyson win the match, this is will be a friendly match and I don't think people and the organizers want any of the fighter to get hurt, Mike is the heavy favorite but we all know Jones used to be the ring magazine boxer of the year.

i believe that Jones is most likely the more fit for this fight and if it is done seriously?for sure Tyson  will surrender in  round 5-6.

I know how Tyson fight in His prime but now?being  a Man with Vices ?i don't think  he can survive a long fight,His powerful Punch will be taken for granted if Jones lured Him away from court side to side.

Though this is not going to be serious unless Tyson provoke Jones to do so.

This match won't gonna be scripted since we're talking about two legendaries fighters here. Their fight will not be the same like they used to fought fighters in the ring since they haven't step in the ring for a while, especially Mike. All we can do is just support this fight in anyway we could since this might be their last fight. I never though I will see Mike Tyson to step in the ring again after what happened to him.

When he was younger, most of his fights doesn't extend up to 3rd round which I think was the strategy used by Hollyfield that lasted up to 11th. He has to end the fight before he loses gas which makes him vulnerable. With age, I don't know if he can last up to 3rd round if they do this fight seriously. They may have the will to fight but health condition just can't make it there. They both probably have hips problem.

This will be one of the most hyped match which everyone would want to witness. I think no boxing lover would like to miss this match.

I will also bet on Mike Tyson. Even though he is aged but no one can match his experience.

Therefore I conclude that we should not expect a lot of this fight, an exhibition fight is just to give a little entertainment, it's not a real contest that one fighter is aiming for a knockout and hurt his opponent, the real excitement is only in the article that we are reading because writers are good at hyping the fight, it's more like expectation vs reality here.

There is no doubt about the hype for this super fight even if they are fighting well past their 50 and they will enjoy every bit of publicity as the very purpose of this bout is to raise money and if people can get interested and pay money to view this event then they are the winners. Even though it is dubbed as exhibition, it is not a scripted act but a real fight, so there is a risk involved even though both of these gentleman are legends of boxing.

Although this is just an exhibition match but the fact that they were once a legend in their career way back this might be a little different this time. And I see how serious Tyson is in this fight he might be the winner on this since I've seen him a lot in training than Jones Jr. The risk might not be that big but they should still play it wisely just like what they did on their younger days and I hope there's no biting again this time.

I will also bet on Mike Tyson. Even though he is aged but no one can match his experience.

But still, Tyson is getting old, and he is older than Jones. But we will see if Tyson still has a power like before, but I guess that will be a tough fight between them because they are now is not young anymore. But both Tyson and Jones have experience in boxing, and they will use the strategy to win.

This is what the athletic commission chief  said the only way any of the fighters can win is by stoppage but they should not hurt each other and people should not expect they are going to go full force to try to hurt each other they will show people the kind of condition they are in at this stage, but we do not know if this will really happen, as both fighters are hard puncher.

'They're going to spar hard but shouldn't be going for a knockout':

I agree that this fight shouldn't be taken as Tyson or Jones Jr. comeback. This is just for entertainment and an exhibition match. Just hear me out, Tyson last fought when there was no Iphone yet so just imagine that.

And Roy Jones? Fought last 2018, got a win from some unknown, but that's it. I'm sure they are going to prepare for this one, a 8 round fight but I'm not expecting anything unusual or something.

When I knowing of the existence of a match between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Junior, I didn't expect much because of this boxing match
won't see KO. Do not wait for the two fighters to pounce in harsh, we know both of them are over 50 years old. So enjoying the boxing match
as it is, I, as a fan of Mike Tyson, of course, seeing him back in the ring was happy. So do not Hoping there is a fight with the tension, just
enjoy it the match according to my advice.

It starts with our expectation, if we understand that this fight is only an exhibition fight, we wouldn't expect a real fight and that makes this fight like a practice fight lol. I'm wondering if they'll be able to sell a good amount of PPV considering it's not a title fight, well, I know a lot of boxing fans admire Tyson as he is very popular, but at this age, I doubt they will spend hundreds of dollars if that's the price of the PPV access.

[famososMuertos]

Excibicion fight! ... Yes. But the collateral effect that this fight will have goes beyond the result itself, that no matter how it is planned, everyone wants to see Tyson winner, in the survey of this topic he is put at more than 84%. Which is not a field of significant action, but it serves to give an idea of ​​the trend that the name "Mike Tyson" means, even with 54 years.

Guys, the heavyweights don't get fighters, a decade has just ended and none were seen. The golden years, of the Queen category, seem not to return.

The situation is so serious, that now they ask for the fight with Foreman, when not even, they have fought Tyson Vs Jones.

Here you do not have to look at the odds, Mike Tyson wins. Although it will only be in appreciation, since the rules stipulate not to declare an official winner.

Mind you, he is no longer the same aggressive guy with that nature of killing in the ring, who has followed the life of Tyson, after his retirement, he understands me, the guy has listened to the experience of life and has had a relative quiet retreat. To be someone who had it all and lost it, he seems to be doing it right at age 54.

This is the beginning of a project called "legendsonlyleague" that has all hopes in Mike Tyson, and that in a way is the gasoline for this fight, because in the words of Mike Tyson himself:

, "“I am going to give 100% of Mike Tyson in the ring … I don't know how Roy is going to deal with that.”

If he gave 100%, then we might see a knockout win with that?
I am not expecting, both of them can hype the fight, that's the way to sell the PPV but the actual fight would surely be not as what we are expecting.

Not the way we would expect it to be knowing how much they aged now. Its just about making them last up to 12 rounds only to show the public how they are now. Making the PPV worth the pay for this historical event.

Its not like how they are back in the days where they can throw a combo without dislocating thier hips. Throwing a hard punch might even break their knuckle bones for its now almost brittled. What they could do in the ring is just a 1 and 2 punch and back away again.
