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

[aioc]

^^ On the contrary, I thought that they are moving to a new date because they think it can generate more money. But it doesn't matter I guess, was wondering if this is Tyson vs Holyfield, for me it will create more hype than Jones. We really don't know why the supposedly fight with Holyfield fell out, but for sure it will be more intriguing and more interesting.

I am for moving the fight to a latter date, this is to have enough time for both fighters to conditioned themselves, promoters should do away with generating income here as both fighters are past their prime, an exhibition fight should just take whatever comes I read that Tyson is not taking anything on this exhibition fight.

Jones Junior has recently retard from boxing but I saw Mike Tyson's training on youtube you can definitely tell that he's like the young Mike Tyson on his moves. You wouldn't thought that he's 54 let's just hope no serious injury will happen.

I think Tyson has more on the line with needing to raise funds for his Tyson Ranch construction project as well as building momentum for a return to boxing in a more profitable sense.  For that reason, I don't think he will lose.  Both fighters have stated they aren't trying to knock each other out, but I'm guessing Tyson will give it a little more effort to secure the win.

That's a good tip. Must be one of the reasons why he is trying to come back even just for once but will earn him millions still. People loves Legendary fighters on the ring of course. But the kind of person Mike is that he is very competitive and always wanna show that he wins every fight to which this fight might really end up knocking either of them.

He's doing all his best to make sure he still in shape when the fight started.

Mike Tyson was known to be more aggressive and dedicated so no wonder why he really taking
all those trainings. He wanted to win and if possible by means of KO.

But still, both fighter, Tyson and Jones are more than 50 years old, and we know that they are no longer younger. Even if they still have the power to fight, both of them can not deny their limit in age, speed, and power will not be like in the past. So I hope that both Tyson and Jones can be careful this time because we don't want to see both of them have got a serious injury as you say. Maybe the rule needs to change so that bloody fights can be prevented at the ring.

It is an exhibition! I think both fighters will take it serious and put up a nice fight and show but their goal is not to give a devastaging KO to the opponent...

What kind of KO do you expect, a soft KO?  Nah, this fight will be decided by a KO, both boxers want to win so they need to KO.

Maybe they'll gas out until one get KOd, that could be possible but I think it will happen in the later rounds, just my prediction.

And exhibition fight but one needs a KO to win, this fight has a rare ruling.

There's no other type of KO and it will be a sure clean hit for either Mike or Roy.

I'm expecting this exhibition isn't just going to be the same as the other exhibition that we have seen like with those matches of Floyd. IMO, this is very far different from those exhibitions. I think Mike is going to bring all that he has for this match.

That latest floyd's exhibition boxing match with that Japanese fighter was just for kids to watch. I mean, what kind of match was that? it just looks like you are watching a Japanese game show. It didn't even get to round 6? I'ts obviously scripted judging how they fought with each other. it looks like the Japanese fighter was just a good actor. he better changes his career for his own good, maybe he can be an actor on sitcoms because he is the only fighter that looks so funny when fighting Floyd.

Let's not compare both matchup just because both are exhibition matches. Remember that Floyd Mayweather is just fighting for money and record that's why he fought McGregor as he was the perfect opportunity to earn more and guarantee a win. Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. on the other hand doesn't really want anything of those but they want to show that they still have it even if they are 50 years old, they won't put any kind of fakeness into this fight as it will just ruin their career and reputation if they do so. I would expect them to be at their best when they will be facing each other.

If that so, it's really going to be more exciting, if we can see the old mike and how he desire to punch and kill his opponents,

he's killer eyes still the same his movements based from those videos that
circulating around seems to how his ambitious win to come.

Round 6 ? LOL the fight didn't even last a whole round !  
You can still find the fight on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsWdXE2jWPc
AFAIK Tenshin Nasukawa wasn't a boxer but a (great) kickboxer.

You cant tell thats an all out act yet no one will really be willing to take hard punches by a veteran boxer which is ahead of you for huge gaps in terms of experience and power.Its not an acting but you can
really tell the difference between a kid and an adult.LOL! This upcoming exhibition match would be different for sure since we know the history of RJJ itself which isnt something for Mike to be confident on
just like on what Floyd did.On the tip given above by Ognasty about Tyson Ranch construction project then its his money after all.Its part of the business, no matter how he'd do into the money he earned but
as were people do talk that it will be given out on charity?

Yeah, Floyd stop fighting boxers when he retires, he fought Conor McGregor and made easy money, both games he made millions of dollars for an effortless fight. I'm wondering why boxing fans are still supporting him, giving that big paycheck for just an exhibition when he is not fighting real boxers.

Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Junior now, then maybe next, Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather, Jr..

I agree that the exhibition match between Tyson and Jones Jr is much more interesting, as we all know Mike Tyson has always had
a killers instinct. Even outside the boxing area, Mike Tyson is emotional. And his age, which is no longer young, does not reduce
determination to be able to win the fight. It is possible that Roy Jones Junior will have a hard time dealing with the killer punch
from Mike Tyson.

I agree with you but the fight against Nasukawa was so ridiculous that it can't do another easy one now or he will lose all his credibility and reputation.

What do you expect from the exhibition? The KO means one of them must get Knock Out. Whether Tyson or Jones. With their ages, that will be hard for them to survive. But I like how Tyson sneaking his opponent and make a strategy which punches that he should give to him. Maybe Tyson will be the favorite of the audience, and the audience wants to see Tyson be the winner.

The fight is just for exhibition so the there is no title on line, the rules of the fight that uploaded online is ridiculous because it is only proving that the match will be safe in both boxers because both of them are already old enough. Actually the fight will be cancelled immediately if there will be a knockout and a cut in face if I'm not mistaken. Both of them are strong and we can find it through re-watching their previous fights but still Mike Tyson has the upper hand so for me he will gonna win.

[Saint-loup]

Looks like that this fight will be postpone to a later date this year.

Seems like the marketing strategy of both fighters did not work as the interest of boxing fans to watch this fight is low.

https://www.boxingscene.com/mike-tyson-roy-jones-exhibition-bout-reportedly-postponed--150806

Yes notblox1 should update the title of the thread and the fight card.

The fight has been postponed to November 28, for the Thanksgiving week-end.

https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/mike-tyson-vs-roy-jones-jr-exhibition-fight-delayed-to-nov-28-new-undercard-bouts-announced/

In addition to the new date being confirmed on Tuesday, new fights on the undercard were also announced. Badou Jack vs. Blake McKernan and Vidal Riley vs. Rashad Coulter will be joining the previously-announced Jake Paul vs. Nate Robinson showdown on the slate leading into the main event.

It's how the advertisers promote the fight, Mayweather is always in, when money speak it's easy for him to sign, there's no credibility for this money maker fighter. as long as he will get what he wanted he will go all in.

Moving back, Tyson and Jones if this fight succeed then expect more exhibition to come from different world class boxing legends.

The wait is getting longer somehow might be because quite excited to see this exhibition match. A month to go before these two clashes and yes Mike has an upper hand it seems and quite popular as well. The poll result here also shows a one side victory for the Mike but in the end, it could just be another way around as everyone would be in favour of Mike to win.
