Looks like jr is going to pull out of this 'fight'

It doesn't surprise me. These guys can't turn back the clock. I would have liked to see Tyson in the ring for 3 rounds against someone like Lucas Browne, that would have been interesting or that kid from Conisbrough who's name has just escaped me.

I’ve had to cancel other stuff to be out here, it’s upset my calendar, I’ve got to change things,” Jones Jr told the Daily Mail.

“That’s why we have to table bulls**t now. That’s the biggest issue, I’m not a full time boxer anymore so I do other things to make an income. If I can’t do other things then I should be compensated for that, because it changes the schematics. It’s not acceptable.”

“We’re trying to figure something out, my lawyers is (sic) talking with their lawyers, trying to figure out ways to make it a better situation so that I can compensated for it, that is more beneficial for me to do.”

“If they don’t make it make sense, it (the fight) would be off,”
He added.

I think that's in your head little man.
I've noticed it too. Yes always had a drawl, but it's starting to tell I'm afraid

He should grow up and hang up the gloves then, or keep getting knocked cold and become mentally even iller than he is already

It’s really depressing. He genuinely was a joy to behold in his pomp.
Freakiest reflexes and speed ever, and those quadruple hooks were ridiculous. But I MUCH preferred watching Whitaker, Tyson, Toney, McCallum, Ricardo Lopez, McClellan, Nunn, Calzaghe, Mayweather, Morales, and Starling, Watson and Winky at their bests.

Jones Jr just wasn't smooth and flowing or well founded, it was all tensing up to throw or pull
