Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. - November 28, 2020

[afcpaul]

Well, it is pantomime season !!!.

[apollo creed]

After the final face off ended:

Tyson: "We done? I'm gonna go back to bed now"

RJJ: "Yeah, me too"

[TheGman]

No, i don't think they'd beat the top guys. They're just too big nowadays but I have zero doubts about how trash hwt is that they could be some top 30 guys.

Danny Williams is still fighting and is ranked 356th by this site, today he'd finish either of these in a quicker time than he done when Tyson was in his 30's, simply because he's an active fighter.

BT Sport are promoting this shite fest even after it failed to attract any interest to keep it as a PPV.
Anyone staying up to 4-6am to watch it needs looking at. I gather they are the same who got their knickers wet over the youtubers fight and Floyd Mayweather V the Irish gobshite and are oblivious to serious fights, ones even as big as Dubois V Joyce.
These shitfests are embarrassing to boxing and make BT Sport look like a shower of twats of a sports broadcaster, as they and SKY saw the Kell Brook fight as less worthy for TV than this debacle.

If I was tyson id want Danny Williams next,put that wrong right.

[TheGman]

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones are not having a proper contest ppl,they are raising money for charity,yes they are gonna fight but its not like they are gonna be ranked by a professional ranking system. Its an exhibition to raise money for charity thats it. If people dont like it "change your station"

[Robbieshrew]

I dont know why so many people want to tell others what to do with their lives.

They're not, They are saying this is an embarrassment to boxing for it to be given so much coverage and to top it all on PPV, while there are genuine interesting fights being left off TV. It's become a trend where these fights are being given greater coverage than proper Boxing.
Some of us attend events but aren't able to because of Covid, I understand some events need the gate money to run, but Box TV and other tv station can step in and show events they usually wont. Were still in lockdown I bet there are millions looking for some decent late night/early morning boxing, yet all we get is this Guff.

For the price of this PPV I can have a few extra pints next week and watch a couple piss heads trying to be Tyson in the pub.

He was KO'd at 38 by him, Danny Williams is still competing in the Ring, Tysons not won a fight since 2003, If he couldn't beat him then what chances has far older, ring rusty one got now?

Well, then don’t buy.....I won’t buy it (maybe try to find an illegal stream)....but I won’t tell Tyson or Jones how to live their life,

Have you seen any of Danny williams fights over the past 10 years? If not go and watch a few then come back to me,if you have the same opinion then thats fair enough but go and have a look

Have you seen any of Tysons? No, he'd get a bigger beating today, to think otherwise is deluded.

[squiggy]

A washed up fighter who still fights regularly probably does beat a washed up fighter who retired fifteen years ago. In a battle you'd be crazy to watch.

A washed up fighter that got beat by a lightweight not so long ago and last time I seen was knocked out by thin air,whatever you say about Mike Tyson he would still have pride,Danny Williams hasnt got an ounce of pride left in his body,if he did he would of quit boxing back in about 2007,there is washed up then there is Danny Williams.

[brilo33]

Agree. Doesn't affect my wallet or my feelings. I don't get it either.

[lazboy]

My problem is it reeks of a scam, tailored towards people who don’t watch boxing. Can’t say I’m emotional about people watching it though. Just think it will be a let down.

First thought for me? It doesn't count. So I don't care.

[ldlamb]

They may say no knockouts in Tyson/Jones....but that sure didn’t apply to Nate Robinson.

its like those chairty football matches on tv aswell , but it is fight between 2 old greats of boxing there so long retired has no affect on them, either , no one has the rights on fighting its what humans have done since we were born

Heard it was brutal.

It was dangerous.
Shocking ref - he got KO'd twice and the ref helped him up a la Cleverley vs Krusher.

Geez! Dangerous. Who was this 'ref.'

[gregregegg]

mmm, my streams just decided not to work, who would of thought it would be mike and roy that finaly beat me in the battle against piracey.

[squiggy]

I'm either picking up laggy streams or Snoop Dogg is doing like six hundred tracks before the fight starts.

Thomas Taylor.

It was KO1 but Nate was allowed to continue after maybe 12 secs on the floor and helped up and given 30s.
He still had a bit left and gave it a go, then it happened AGAIN exactly the same. He was now clearly half-dead but given time to raise his gloves and get KTFO.
Nate coulda got damaged - he should never ref again.
Especially with such beginners - gotta be extra careful.
