Way I see it weed should not be tested for, its not such a harmful substance and doesnt give any competitive edge. Other substances such as cocaine, amphetamin etc should however not be allowed in a fighters system.

Yes but weed is a gateway drug. If a person uses marijuana, then they can’t help themselves from using cocaine, amphetamines, steroids and clenbuterol.

That’s the same as claiming that anyone that enjoys the odd beer or two now and then, is automatically compelled to start drinking 89% premium reserve Absinthe.

At best, it’ll be a competitive par. They’re going to moving around the ring and nothing more.

Both fighters are going to abide by the CSAC rules they agreed to, regardless as to whatever they may currently tell the media to help sell the event.

Neither man will make any attempt whatsoever to stop their opponent. And neither fighter will have their arm raised at the end of the bout, since no fighter can technically “win” anything from this exhibition.

The only dramatic thing that may happen, is that the exhibition is stopped prematurely if one of the fighters gets cut (no matter how slight that injury may be), because that is part of the CSAC’s rules for a public sparring session between two fighters in their fifties.

If you're expecting otherwise, something much more, you'll be disappointed.

In terms of a “moral” victory, such as the public perception of whom did better, then it’s a double-edged sword.

If Tyson somehow outperforms Jones Jr., then this would likely be a result of his David versus Goliath size advantage.

And if Jones Jr. is perceived as looking better, then he had youth and long-term fitness on his side, because Tyson hasn’t been involved in boxing or any athletic sport for fifteen years or so.

The bottom line is that this exhibition is utterly meaningless – it doesn’t mean a damn thing and shouldn’t affect either fighters’ legacies.

I believe, they have to do their best, since their legacy and name is on the line .
