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

[Botnake]

5 more days...

34 years ago on November 22, 1986, Mike Tyson become youngest ever boxing heavyweight champion!
At age of 54 he is preparing to fight again this weekend in few days.
His latest short interview with Steve Bunce: https://youtu.be/iGJ5tm4uM7c

This is really a history in the making. Excited to watch this match also. We will see another legend come to life in the boxing ring again. Wonder if they can still attract big audience and bettors for this fight. The gap of odds are not so wide but all are favouring for Tyson to win this fight. Can he deliver? Let's watch...

A really good question to be answer this upcoming fight, Tyson got 1.52 odd on
his side good enough for the value of your bet. You'll be entertained more while
watching him to bring his monster uppercut and killing blow! Both figthers are known
to be a good legends inside this sport it's exciting to see them again throwing punches
to each other bringing entertainmen to their respective fans.

These are old fighter, I'm afraid I would be able to see more clinching than punching, hopefully that is not the scenario in the fight though as this is a paid PPV AFAIK and it's an expensive one, so we should be entertain with this.

I'm pretty sure Tyson will come out of this fight a winner, although as we know this is not what we have expected they are both past their prime, this is just for entertainment, betting on Tyson is a good choice still fit, but in stamina, jones got an advantage so there is still a chance, he can if he will have a good strategy on the fight, can't wait for this.

Tyson will beat Roy Jones and I'm sure with that even though his age is much higher than Roy; he can turn around the fight. Tyson is not joking in his interviews wherein he said the he will do the best he can in order to beat Roy. Tyson was called the baddest man in the world and he proved it because when he was inside the ring, he cannot be stop whenever he is in rage. His moves are so different and it cannot be imitate by ordinary boxer. Both of them have deadly hook punch and for me this fight will rain a lot of hook shots. Tyson is now in condition wherein you can see it through his body where his muscles and abs are now back again.

[TopTort777]

Since it is called an exhibition contest both these fighters can have a mutual dialogue on not going for the knockout punch  . All they need to do is to entertain the crowd and before that hype the fight to the maximum so that they could earn the most money .

To entertain the crowd Tyson need to knockout RJJ...Twice That is how "most money could be earned".
Of course they can have a mutual agreement not to try knockout each other, but during the fight rush I doubt that this is possible and still remember it after first round.

Btw, you say about earning, but that is what wiki says about exhibition matches: "An exhibition fight is a contact sports non-profit event, usually a boxing fight in which participants fight, normally for three rounds.". Plus they will have 8 round fight. Doesn't make sence.

[Noctis Connor]

I already place my bet on Mike Tyson both are good fighters but i have more faith on Mike will beat Roy and i am pretty sure with that even there's a gap in there age still Mike has his experience regarding in this kind of battle and mike is not kidding around when it comes to the ring no he always want's his opponent to be knockdown in 1 or 2 rounds. Mike already got his name in my country as a one punch man as he threw his deadly left hook punch and pow knockdown.

[ChiBitCTy]

I am beyond pumped up to watch this fight! Boxing just isn't even close to what it used to be in terms of entertainment value and of course the UFC is in large part to blame, and it just doesn't seem like there's been any heavyweights really fun to watch over the past decade or so.  Sure these are older dudes now, but still going to be so fun to watch. Tyson is going to destroy him.

I actually excited to the fight but I have problem when it comes to rules because there are some that I considered as boring because those two fighters are not suitable in that kind of rules. For example there is a rule there where there will be no winner in the fight so for sure this fight is just for entertainment because there is no judges. The fight will also stop immediately when a certain boxer suffer a cut and we all know that those 2 fighters are punching really hard so there are chances that one of them will suffer cut in the beginning of the match. But I know that it is for their health so let's just enjoy the upcoming fight.

Did anyone in this thread bet on this fight? What sportsbooks have this and how can they determine the winner? Only by knockout?



In the leadup to the bout there has been some confusion about the rules and regulations approved by the California State Athletic Commission so executive director Andy Foster spoke to MMA Fighting to confirm details surrounding the Tyson vs. Jones Jr. bout.

“Let’s call it an exhibition. That’s what it is,” Foster said. “I want the public to know what this is because I don’t want people to be disappointed.

“There’s no official judges,” Foster clarified. “The WBC is going to have some guest celebrity judges remotely, not official, not 10-9 [scores], nothing like that. No cumulative score. No winner announced.

“That’s a very entertainment centered thing. It’s about entertainment. It’s not about competition.”

Good luck with your bet.

I haven't placed my bet but I'm still thinking if I have to. Tyson is also my choice but I'm waiting for more source and opinions on whom I shall bet on this match.

I don't want to place bet just because I like him but I both know that they are good fighters at their ages.

Bu I just can't decide yet.

Both are  legends it will be tough cause even they are both good but the age and  condition of their bodies are in questions.

And since this fight is more on entertaining we don't know if how the outcome will turned out, chances that Jones will just do his style and try to move smartly while Tyson as we know him as being aggressive will try to throw punches. No assurance though as like what I've said minds can think of good movements but it's the body that will decide if what they are thinking are still possible.. lol

Wait, what? That's really surprising I've seen them practicing I think Tyson is looking for a knock out as so as am I though it could be really dangerous for both retired boxers. I haven't checked out the odds yet or the bets I didn't know that there would be no judge. So are we betting with knockouts?

[Alucard1]

Both fighters are great but I am still in favor of Mike Tyson because he already proved so many things in the world, it would be a great fight, only 3 days left and we will see the fight between the greatest fighters, they have almost too much preparation so I think they are already prepared for the battle. Actually, I don't know Mike Tyson before but when I have watched a video of him on youtube I became interested in him and watch again some other fights of him with other boxers and I was amazed at how he fights on which he could win with one punch. I hope that he could still win even though he is already 50+ years old.

Everyone favors Tyson because if you compare the two fighter, Tyson has more accomplishment and hence he is the better fighter, However, if we try to bet in this game, we should be smart in analyzing the fight, not based only on their past achievement but on the current status of each boxer.

of course we are seeing so much hype of Tyson, he was able to maintain that body at his age, but how about Roy Jones Jr.? why aren't we talking about him also, I'm afraid people will just blindly bet on this fight, exhibition fight.

I think Betnomi have and there's only two options "Money line" and "Bout betting" if there's now winner announce then how they will determine the winner on the moneyline?

If the fight is a draw and you did not choose that option then the sports book will keep the money  . I have seen some books returning the bet if the fight is a draw and there is not much clarity regarding this specific fight since it is an exhibition bout.

Just couple of days before the event and hopefully we will be witnessing a good battle and this fight will determine whether the retired boxers will return and have a career again or not  .

I might be wrong. It might be the fight will have a winner, however only in the record of the California State Athletic Commission, this will not be officially a professional fight and will not have an official winner. This will be listed only as an exhibition fight but there will be a winner.

This was also another exhibition fight.

I'm bit confused right now because of the rules that I have read, they say that there will be no winners in this exhibition match so there is a high chance that betting sites will remove or will not add anymore the fight between Jones and Tyson. If they will continue to place it in their website then how they will determine the winner if there will be no official announcements of the winners at the end of match? There is still no judges that able to add points for the possible winner. I'm excited to make a bet before but now I have doubts if certain betting sites will able to bet to the match of Tyson and Roy Jones.

The situation is actually quite strange , if bookmakers accept bets on the winner in the absence of judges at the match, it means that they will evaluate this winner themselves according to some of their own criteria, my IMHO of course
