Wow, if this actually goes ahead I'm very curious to see the betting odds.

 

[Perennial]

Not really a boxing fan, but I'll be tuning in...

 

[CDJ]

I don’t want to watch it but I have to watch it

 

[Stylizer1]

Roy Jones is going to get destroyed.

Roy Jones is going to get destroyed.

There is no basis for this.

Edit - Ok maybe there is some basis for this. But I wouldn't completely write off RJJ. Also since it's an exhibition bout for charity, who knows how seriously they're going to take this.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Hopefully Jones gets to keep both his ears.

Tyson doesn't have an off switch.

I read more into this and apparently there's going to be a 'No Knockdown' agreement and no judges either? Yeah, this is just for show, not an actual fight.

Tyson doesn't have an off switch.

I suppose the intrigue lies in whether Tyson will actually try to take RJJ's head off.

 

[DaaaaB's]

Roy Jones is going to get destroyed.

I highly doubt that would be the case even if they fought for real instead of this exhibition bout.

 

[1specter]

Roy Jones is going to get destroyed.

RJJ is a legend in his own right. The one big thing Tyson has over him is that Tyson retired a long, long time ago and probably has more of his brain in tact than Roy does at this point. On the flip side, Roy still fought professionally only two years ago so the experience of being in the ring again isn't so foreign for him. Could really go either way IMO.

 

[CDJ]

Tyson doesn't have an off switch.

I mean he literally quit in his last fight

 

[Stylizer1]

I mean he literally quit in his last fight

He wasn't mentally the same fighter anymore. His last 3 fights were to get paid.

 

[Deen]

Jones is going to box him up from range imo. Tyson has T-Rex arms and not enough technique. He will gas and Jones will batter his right eye, that's how I see this playing out.

Jones was on a podcast yesterday and he was talking about it. It's supposed to be an exhibition and he stated the use of headgear may or may not happen. Also not sure about the size of gloves. If they get in there and dance around this was suck. Roy said Mike will hit a lot harder so he cannot assume Tyson will go easy on him.

Jones said he will probably weigh 205, I think Tyson will be at least 240

Stuff like this makes me sad. Prime RJJ was probably the best to ever do it, but ever since that bouncing up and down in weight after getting the HW title he's been shot.

Report: Tyson-Jones exhibition pushed to Nov. 28

no way Tyson would be 240. 220 max.

 

[Suxnet]

This might end up like Kimbo vs Dada.

I wouldn't watch this if someone paid me $20.

I broke my back. My back is broken. Spinal.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

I love Iron Mike but I think he’s gonna get rekt

I want a real fight.

Offer the winner a fight with the Fury/Joshua winner, and a guaranteed $10 million payday in an undisputed championship fight. To really get them motivated.

Not interested in past their prime boxers looking for big payout.
