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

[virasog]

An over-hyped match ended in a draw.

[STT]

How is a draw even possible, it goes to points from judges I thought and surely they didnt all agree.   I never even saw a draw offered to bet on or I might have taken that the good odds offered for that, like the green ball on a roulette wheel.   Did anywhere even offer a draw ?      I presume the draw was related to it being 2 senior fighters and for health reasons they dont end up fighting to the death.   I was speculating it would be too short not too long so I was all wrong on this one, we should get our bets returned I presume.

One positive, surely they reschedule Tyson to fight again with this no result fight ?

I want to see Mike Tyson fighting younger than him maybe a boxer that is still active in boxing.

That's a suicide, there's  reason why Tyson is only fighting for exhibition match now, he doesn't want to risk his life with an active boxer that could kill him in the ring. he is not the same Mike Tyson anymore, he is over 50 years old, come on, be realistic here.

I agree with that but we can see on the match that he is not yet tired and I think he can still stand up even until 12 round.  But yes I think it's different if he is going to fight with some active fighters.

No, not another match. No one wants to see both of them to play again in the exhibition match. We have already seen good eight rounds of fight between them with no result. It is obvious that these results were pre-planned.

Active fighter have different stamina, we can't deny that fact that Tyson even he can still fight or can stay for some time it's still disadvantages for him getting older and moving away from this sport. Inside fighters mind he still unbeatable but due to his not being active the possibilities is slim for him to win against active fighter.

Back to the topic. Glad that there's no harmed happened to both legends, the fight went to draw and both of them are happy and it seen in their eyes that the enjoyment to fight back inside the ring filled their desires.

An over-hyped match ended in a draw.

Nobody see this one coming, it's very obvious Mike Tyson is the more aggressive, and the one who connect the most punch, they made it a draw so as not to hurt ego of any of the fighters, who would have thought the fight will end in a draw because both fighters are capable of knocking out each other.

[smyslov]

I am very impressed on Tyson he still has it the bob and weave thing is still there, he connect a lot of punches on Roy's body and he is the more aggressive fighter, Tyson should have won the match all my friends who've watch the fight totally agree that the match should be awarded to Tyson, I have it 7 to 1.

But judges hurt Tysons ego. Did you see how he reacted when they announced draw? Saying he was dissappointed, saying nothing. According to what I saw, RJJ only did few punches and then hang in clinch.
While Tyson really connected few sweet body shots.

Tyson won imho.

There were a lot of scenarios that could come true, but the last thing I thought was that it would end in a draw.
That might also be extra motivating for both men to do it again.

Make sense this is an exhibition and the highlight is for both fighters to showcase their stamina and endurance at their age, both fighters should be considered a winner, they both step up to the challenge, they shocked the world because at their age they have a high level of competitiveness.

I'm not happy with the result of the fight, what I like to know now is how much they made in this fight.

Hopefully someone would share some figure later, if both made a decent amount, we will probably see another exhibition match in the future.
Question is, would you still buy the PPV?

Here is the breakdown of every fight that participated in this fights Tyson will make a lot from this fight and he already stated that all his earnings will go charity.

I haven't watched the match yet but with those posts, a draw? who did ever expected that to come lol.

If that's the result, that was surprising.

Yes it's a draw a really ridiculous result, I placed a big bet on this match and waited for this moment just to know this result. We all know Mike one but still both players did great and I think they both deserve to be a winner.

ya.ya.yo!

I thought that I'll never see a match that will end up draw. Well, Mike and Roy just made another history haha. This is going to be part of the boxing history.

A lot of fans anticipated that there will be a winner but thw result was a surprise.

Thank was fast, thank you mate.

So I'm reading that they both earn at least $1 million dollar each, I guess that's a big money for a little action. hmm.. maybe they are planning a new one again since this one is profitable, and I think Tyson is still present as he attracts a lot of fans, business as usual.  

[AakZaki]

There is no comparison for the power of Mike Tyson but he is coming back after a decade and that is the case with Roy Jones and i am not too keen to see the fight as they are too old to return to fight.
I am yet to find out how to watch the fight and hopefully nothing bad happens to both the fighters.

I heard on some TV that this match is a charity match, but the difference in the money they receive is so much different. Tyson will get 141 billion while juniors will only get 41 billion. Tyson himself doesn't seem to think about the money because the money will be used to help / charity. Tyson also said he was ready to compete 3 times against elite boxers for this noble mission. The three elite boxers in the world that Mike Tyson refers to are Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, and Anthony Joshua. But in the end is it going to be fun, because Tyson did all this for charity.

It is indeed that he won and he knew it but according to him he accept it as a draw as the fans are entertained and I think he mentioned too that they did it for a cause which is a really good thing in my opinion.

[DeathAngel]

I thought Tyson looked strong, quick, powerful. I think he could still compete in pro boxing against some fighters. Jones Jr (probably understandably) spent the whole fight running away, hugging, trying to avoid engaging with Tyson.

[smyslov]

I thought Tyson put a great fight and deserves tom win this match, this is not going to be the last time that we are going to see an exhibition match involving Tyson, he can pick the next guy to do an exhibition, I think Kevin Bride deserves the spot because he si the guy who retires Tyson in 2005, it's a big question if Kevin still has it.

[Jating]

Let's take a minute of silence and take a bow for those who bet on Tyson to win the fight and lost big time.

Lol, you don't need to rub it in.

This is off topic but Nate's fight was pretty epic too, there's a lot of memes coming out right now  too bad there's no betting options for them. Anyway congratulations to Mike and Roy Jones they both did pretty well, Mike is still a beast at his age of 54.

He was hit on the top of the top, and pretty much as the announcer say, perhaps his trainer only teach him to punch, but not to play defense.

You can't do anything to Tyson it's either you will run or clinch to pass the time. It looks like Tyson's punches really hurts I think Tyson's is still up for another match. Are you guys wanted to see Mike fight again?

Post fight interview, you can see Jones, clinching his belly because of the effect of Mike's body punch, and he admit it that it really hurts. As far as wanting to see Tyson fight though, nah, probably in just an exhibition but not a full blown comeback fight because he will surely get destroys by the heavyweight of today.

I saw that match I thought that would be a long fight but it seems Nate only now how to throw punches but really can't play defense but we can't blame him he is good in other sports (Basketball) but I don't think he is really for boxing matches.
