Roy my favorite fighter but he loss... and idk how Vegas got their hand in it to draw... which means all bets is loss... even the 5000 to win 100 bets🤦🏼♂️
That's why he was wore out. Body shots take that endurance. But my boy made it through. Love you Roy. You are the legend. No disrespect to mike who also amazed me as a youngster. But I knew a lot more about the sweet science when I was watching Roy jr. And He was truly unique.
Guys, these fellas went at an older age to raise money for charity and at 50+ so we could enjoy seeing our childhood legends!! We should find out what we can do for the less fortunate..
These men gave me (at 53years of age) more inspiration to keep on going and to keep on staying healthy and active. Respect to #miketyson and #royjonesjr
EXACTLY! People forget the whole overall point. Both lasting 8 rounds should inspire anyone at ANY age to never give up on your health. And never let anyone tell you that you are too old or too young to go after your dreams.
That’s all he could do, couple shots he did land did NOTHIN. All he could was hold but bad plan when overused & other fighter puttin in work ; real fight scores woulda showed it going to Tyson
Well duh, throw an extra 40 lb's, little of which being muscle on yourself past the heaviest you have ever weighed for competition and see how you do against who is still 10 lb's heavier than you and is the lightest he had been. since 97.
Yes, and the ear cake from Tyson was hands down immature and utterly disrespectful. If someone calls niggaz subhuman apes, they cry and protest. I wonder why...
As a young man who never got to see you at your primes, I'm so proud and privileged to see you guys fight even if it was an exhibition. Edit: I guess alot of you guys missed my point. I mean watching their fight live and not knowing the outcome. I've obviously seen old ones lol.
@@yakz9885 and somehow Jake paul got a knockout?😂 from what I heard they changed the rules. Which makes sense considering I didnt think they were going to have a score but they ended up getting judgesn
i think Mike let up on him, it would've hurt roy's legacy and im positive roy isn't going to fight again, i bet he'll retire soon. if it was an actual fight 3, not 2 minute rounds tyson would've knocked him i believe, right as he was feeling it the bell rung.
I laughed so hard mid round the red told them to stop holding and Roy said I gotta hold him or he gunna kill me 😂 then snoop dogg said “it’s gone take grandma to break this up” 😂😂
Watch Tyson’s presser. He said he was constantly aware it was an expedition, and he wanted to go 8 rounds instead of just going for the kill. He said, “Everybody knows I can knock people out, I wanted to show I could go the distance.”
And he looked like he could've went a couple more! Really suprised me there, jones looked tired after round 2, tyson looked upset that the fight was over after 8 lol. Very impressed by both of them for different reasons.
To be fair, it was a leading question that led him to say that. It wasn't something he'd have said without the reporter basically putting those words in his mouth first, so take it with a grain of salt.
Love how everyone wants to talk shit but all who are can’t even throw a proper punch yet run a mile 👀😂 these guys trained like hell show some respect 💯
There’s a difference between throwing a punch and clinching the whole fight in a boxing match Roy knew he was going against Tyson he should’ve just not accepted the fight
@@xWarEternalx the entire fight he was clinching when he was not throwing some quick wierd hooks that didn’t do damage. Boxing is a sport to box MMA is for Muay Thai.
I never liked Roy Jones Jr until I heard the Man speak. His sportsmanship and humility is 2nd to none. Ton of respect for him now!!! Tyson is still my numero uno though!!
The Roy Jones Jr: Hotboxing with Mike Tyson Podcast (shout out that channel and Mike for hosting the best podcast on the planet) is going to be unmissable. They finna go deeeeep once they start smoking that Cron. I imagine Mike only smokes the best, u know, owning his own weed farm. DMT is largely to thank for Tyson spreading his wisdom. That shit is nothing to play with while ur young tho kids. These 2 men are special people, with RJJ giving more than half of his life to the sport of boxing, becoming one of the best ever (arguably in his prime being the best ever P4P) and has won 12 of his last 13 fights. That is a special human being Mike Tyson, to me is someone I have a level of respect for, every other celebrity and idols don’t match. And I say that because this man is a Sage. Yes I’m the ultimate Tyson dick rider but it’s the only dick I’d be happy riding. No Homo
I respect his transparency. The level of maturity between these two men is applaudable. Hopefully others will learn a thing or two from their composure.
If Roy Jones didn't have the head movement and footwork, Mike would've ended the fight early, it was a better fight than I expected, kudos to the baddest man on the planet and superman
@@trutru9018 mike did pull punches on some head shots. You can tell he highly respected Roy and didn’t want to put too bad a hurting on him. He allowed himself to get tied up at time and just made it like a sparring exhibition. It is what it is. Mike did better than I thought he would. Roy also clearly knows Mike could’ve hurt him if he wanted to.
The fight was better than I expected too. It wasn’t as geriatric as I anticipated. However, Tyson was capable of overcoming Roy’s defenses, but he spared Roy while giving him a real test too. Roy lasted while giving a full effort because he’s a warrior.
Bahaha. Footwork? Head movement? It was his hugging that kept him alive. He was completely outmatched even with a no ko rule. RJJ is the most overrated boxer of all time.
Mike won hands down. I love how humble he is. He's setting bars for future fighters period! I give Roy Jr. props for getting in that ring with a legend like Iron Man Mike, that took Big Balls, and Guts; but Mike Got that!
Ya mean, Mike? Its been longer for Mike, so im confused. Roy had nothing to worry about. Tyson has about 2 fights till he's in good shape. Roy still was evasive.
@@mgtkmg you know roy jones’ boxing style ain’t build for his age today right? In his prime, he relies more on speed + his hooks. Tyson’s peak-a-boo style made him last longer and better in their fight.

They both showed incredible skill and put on a hell of a show and I think it's harsh to expect more from them.

Mike Tyson is a special human. His story and how deep he’s gone (on the regular) on his podcast has gained a level of respect I don’t have for many people. Dmt put him on the right road and now he’s honestly a saint.
♥️ some of us who are the younger generation and come from the slums and fighting for something greater- we are watching. And watching both Mike and Roy makes my heart smile and gives beautiful motivation and inspiration. Good soul vibrations ♥️✨🙏🏽🙌🏽
I hear my friend's being like "why they always hugging?"....bro...how else are you going to neutralize that beast? Defensive specialist with the most style. RJJ....respect
This was a good fight. Both guys came out of this looking good and I liked seeing the mutual respect instead of fake trash talk to try to sell tickets.
Y'all know behind the scenes money was on the table, that's bullshit. Even though Mike Tyson won, and Roy Jones hung in their with him, but Tyson again dominated and won even though it was a Draw.....but money was involved, they not showing it though, and I understand because all the money makers want in on it, and that will cause troubles, so they call it a exhibition fight.
@@Teenah_8 Nothing to do with money. It's because RJJ and Tyson couldn't get boxing licenses. That's why their rules were different compared to the previous fighters. Because it wasn't considered a professional fight. If you look at the Wiki page of RJ and MT their fight is not listed on their professional boxing record. But Badou Jacks, Nate, and Jake Paul's fight are all on their boxing record on Wiki because they were all able to attain licenses. Even in the post-fight interview, Gray asked if Mike Tyson wanted to get a boxing license and do it again. I'm assuming they weren't given licenses because of their age, but I'm not sure if there was anything else to it.
Mike did more damage for sure but Roy dictated the tempo of the fight. If you’d asked him before the fight what he needed to do to win, he would have said avoid big shots, land from the outside, and tie Mike up when he gets in close - that’s what he accomplished
@@Saul.2910 I disagree, the only way he dictated the fight was by holding for 30-40 seconds at a time over and over again. He was blowing out of his arse to be honest, which I didn't expect. Tyson walked him down the whole fight and there was only one round where Roy sort of landed from the outside properly. Mike slipped most the shots and I think most people seem to be saying the opposite to what you said. Mike dicrsted the fight WHEN they were actually fighting. Roy dictated when they WERE NOT fighting, i.e holding on for as long as physically possible. He only broke from the clinch like twice to keep fighting. The ref suckled ass too by letting him hold for more of the fight than they fought, 2 minute rounds and over half the round was roy holding Tyson so he couldn't uppercut, Tyson was the only one punching and working from/out of the 'clinch' - I use quotation marks because it was more like he was grappling or wrestling than your typical boxing clinch, maybe out of tiredness but also to nullify Tyson, but the ref let it go for far too long with nothing happening it was just to try stay as close as possible, he wasn't looking to fight, and instead of nullifying Tyson he nullified the majority of the fight. He didn't do this by bocing, he did it by holding Tysons arms so neither of them could use the tools necessary to call it boxing. Was a shame because Tyson clearly had amazing stamina, far better than Roy did surprisingly and he gave glimpses of his old self, all be it with age attached but he obviously wanted to keep boxing to give a show and a good account of himself. And he clearly was still in a position to and still able to compete as he has retained an amazing portion of his skill base, especially considering he was the one with the 15 year lay off and abuse of his body through coke/alcohol and whatever else. Just no way that I can find an angle to justify the statement that Roy dictated the fight, he really didn't. Yes im aware this is an extremely long reply haha 😂😂
Those hits didn't really do anything at all. Roy Jones is out of shape and you could tell by the end of round 1 he was already gassing out. The whole fight he couldn't do anything but run or hug
@@DISCOMBOBULATED_BEANER He's not out of shape, at least not in the context you're speaking of.... You realize he had to put 40 or so lb's on just to get within range of mikes weight while Mike weighed the lightest he has in 23 years, and he was still undersized by 10 lb's. The problem is to make the weight he had to put the weight on quick to make the fight, otherwise he would just get murdered by the first punch from Tyson. Even if he trained since his last fight in 2018, there is no way he can put that much muscle on to make it worth while. Tyson had every advantage available in combat, If he didn't dominate would be the real surprise.
BOYZ - It was awesome to watch! - So inspiring ! I saw Tyson fights as a kid. Went out this morning running singing the rocky sound track! I can only hope to be a fit as the two of you guys after 50!
It brought back good memories I think as long as they limit the way that they did and in shape for it I would watch them fight again for their age that was awesome!
Roy and mike are both so humble its great to see them both say it like it is. I know it was a exhibition fight but to see two men over the age of 50 move like they did was mind-boggling. Thank you to both men for giving us a taste of what we all wanted to see. 🇦🇺😉👌.
@cookie thomas bro you talking shit so that goes for all boxing then because nobody got knocked out and they lasted 12 rounds nobody won 🤦🏿♂️ you a clown and don't know shit about boxing. Why you think he himself said he don't want to fight Mike again
@cookie thomas no he did not he said I will have to speak to my family 🙄 I am a fan of Roy but stop talking shit everyone knows Tyson won but you, out here talking crap and don't know shit about boxing
An inspiration!! being an 80’s kid I was more than happy to pay and watch this , with all good intentions , to help others and there legendary status just when up a notch , well done to both , and to be fair for the first time I genuinely thought it was a draw , smile from both and equal amount of contact Great stuff
Roy is a simply prolific and great. I would never take away from anything that he did and accomplish because even at 51..he still moved great and did something that not many could do. I am a Tyson fan but also a Roy Jones Jr. fan...I hope that they both get high honors going into the Hall of Fame. Two of the greatest gladiators the world has ever had the privilege to witness.......
I was really impressed by both guys. Roy did amazing. The body shots started to rack up though, especially when he doesn't have that young midsection anymore.
Roy lemme just say this, after knowing what ANY of us know about Tyson... it takes a CHAMP to step into the ring with a known head-hunting madman! #NothingbutPROPS
“I’m cool with the draw” of course you are.. they literally gave u the draw because it was a expedition match and felt bad for you. Tyson clearly won but it is what it is
I’m just glad they came through safe and well. I did forget I was watching 2 legends a quarter of a century past their primes. They still fight better than some of the younger boxers.
First of all, there were no official judges. It was a non judged fight. The panel that judged were not part of the fight in any way. So to think it was a draw is totally up to you. One other point, the so called judges watched on ppv. So your opinion is the only thing that matters.
Which they said before the fight. I don't know how people are missing this. they said there would be no winner or loser and it would not go on their records. The only weird part was when they trotted them out there as if they were going to announce a winner.
This is Great Over all For Boxing & Both of These Great Legends (Goats) Also Seeing a New Mike Tyson Different Attitude. Great Attitude Positive Warm Humbled. Great Fight For Roy Jones JR Look forward to more Instant Classics .
There he is! You rock Roy! You guys put a spotlight back on the game in a big way and dragged the young in with you. 👋👋👋🥊🔥❤ You both have historical records and no one and nothing can take that away or change it. Your fans want you to be happy and healthy for a long time. Huge heart and guts. Huge. :)
Nothing but respect for these two gentlemen! They are my age, I am from Roy's home town, Pensacola, FL. Roy has always been my hero, Mike Tyson has always been my favorite boxer. The humility that these two legends have shown will never be surpassed. Great fight!
It was a good show. Two greats training really hard and put on an “exhibition”. The scores were clearly rigged to set up a draw. Anyone who denied that didn’t see the fight, or is lying. My only problem was that betting should not have been allowed (but then again, that’s the world we live in) overall, good show. Mad respect for these legends to dance for us one more time.
He took soooo many body punches from mike and still went the whole 8. AMAZING, nothing but respect for Roy jones
Roy my favorite fighter but he loss... and idk how Vegas got their hand in it to draw... which means all bets is loss... even the 5000 to win 100 bets🤦🏼♂️
Absolutely but he's fortunate Mike wasn't head hunting, and treating it like the exhibition fight they signed up for!
@@ponoahuna627 how is that Roy’s fault tho? Gabe was just talking about how well Roy took Mike’s punches! 😂😂

This was a good fight. Both guys came out of this looking good and I liked seeing the mutual respect instead of fake trash talk to try to sell tickets.
In layman's terms ' I do not want to fight that beast again I survived and I'm happy with that' Roy Jones Jnr
Legend recognizes Legend mad Respect to both Men. Both fought like true warriors a fight that will Not soon be forgotten.
Y’all must have forgot...
It was an exhibition
honestly tho & many many many years too late
Y'all know behind the scenes money was on the table, that's bullshit. Even though Mike Tyson won, and Roy Jones hung in their with him, but Tyson again dominated and won even though it was a Draw.....but money was involved, they not showing it though, and I understand because all the money makers want in on it, and that will cause troubles, so they call it a exhibition fight.
😂😂😂😭
@@Teenah_8 Nothing to do with money. It's because RJJ and Tyson couldn't get boxing licenses. That's why their rules were different compared to the previous fighters. Because it wasn't considered a professional fight. If you look at the Wiki page of RJ and MT their fight is not listed on their professional boxing record. But Badou Jacks, Nate, and Jake Paul's fight are all on their boxing record on Wiki because they were all able to attain licenses. Even in the post-fight interview, Gray asked if Mike Tyson wanted to get a boxing license and do it again. I'm assuming they weren't given licenses because of their age, but I'm not sure if there was anything else to it.
That farce shouldn't of been on ppv then
"Normal person would be crazy to fight Mike with they hands down, but Im Roy Jones"
Riiight and Nobody has even mentioned that lol
Thanks for suiting up Champ! It was great to watch man. Stay healthy and enjoy the family
I can't believe how good Mike Tyson was at his age!
I'm still shocked actually. Tyson was amazing. ...
Hell Yeah, Mike won every round and my utmost respect. Roy looked like he was the one who had a 15yrs lay off.
Mike did more damage for sure but Roy dictated the tempo of the fight. If you’d asked him before the fight what he needed to do to win, he would have said avoid big shots, land from the outside, and tie Mike up when he gets in close - that’s what he accomplished
@@Saul.2910 I disagree, the only way he dictated the fight was by holding for 30-40 seconds at a time over and over again. He was blowing out of his arse to be honest, which I didn't expect. Tyson walked him down the whole fight and there was only one round where Roy sort of landed from the outside properly. Mike slipped most the shots and I think most people seem to be saying the opposite to what you said. Mike dicrsted the fight WHEN they were actually fighting. Roy dictated when they WERE NOT fighting, i.e holding on for as long as physically possible. He only broke from the clinch like twice to keep fighting. The ref suckled ass too by letting him hold for more of the fight than they fought, 2 minute rounds and over half the round was roy holding Tyson so he couldn't uppercut, Tyson was the only one punching and working from/out of the 'clinch' - I use quotation marks because it was more like he was grappling or wrestling than your typical boxing clinch, maybe out of tiredness but also to nullify Tyson, but the ref let it go for far too long with nothing happening it was just to try stay as close as possible, he wasn't looking to fight, and instead of nullifying Tyson he nullified the majority of the fight. He didn't do this by bocing, he did it by holding Tysons arms so neither of them could use the tools necessary to call it boxing. Was a shame because Tyson clearly had amazing stamina, far better than Roy did surprisingly and he gave glimpses of his old self, all be it with age attached but he obviously wanted to keep boxing to give a show and a good account of himself. And he clearly was still in a position to and still able to compete as he has retained an amazing portion of his skill base, especially considering he was the one with the 15 year lay off and abuse of his body through coke/alcohol and whatever else. Just no way that I can find an angle to justify the statement that Roy dictated the fight, he really didn't.
Yes im aware this is an extremely long reply haha 😂😂
@@NigelOdinson let's see someone get inside your reach and have everyone call you a hugger.
@@NigelOdinson that guys talking shit 😂😂🤦🏿♂️
Roy is the underdog. He is a natural lightweight. He made Mike miss a lot and he made good timed hits
Those hits didn't really do anything at all. Roy Jones is out of shape and you could tell by the end of round 1 he was already gassing out. The whole fight he couldn't do anything but run or hug
@@DISCOMBOBULATED_BEANER He's not out of shape, at least not in the context you're speaking of.... You realize he had to put 40 or so lb's on just to get within range of mikes weight while Mike weighed the lightest he has in 23 years, and he was still undersized by 10 lb's.
The problem is to make the weight he had to put the weight on quick to make the fight, otherwise he would just get murdered by the first punch from Tyson. Even if he trained since his last fight in 2018, there is no way he can put that much muscle on to make it worth while. Tyson had every advantage available in combat, If he didn't dominate would be the real surprise.
I clearly saw Mike also hit him a lot lol
@@zephirol4638 actually Roy Jones had more of an advantage since Roy stopped training for 3 years and Mike Tyson stopped training for over 10 years
Mike dominated the fight plain and simple
Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr., my two favorite boxers of all time. Thank you.
BOYZ - It was awesome to watch! - So inspiring ! I saw Tyson fights as a kid. Went out this morning running singing the rocky sound track! I can only hope to be a fit as the two of you guys after 50!
Possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen thank you both
When you can’t go to a movie...this was entertainment.
Thanks to the both you...... 🙏
Thank you for doing this fight, it means alot to us , the world ,LEgend Performance and the best boxing ever! God Bless ya
“It’s supposed to be an exhibition!!” Creeds trainer when killed by drago
Jaja yes rocky rules 4 ever brah
Throw in the towel!!! Throw in the damn towel!!!!!!!!!!
STOP THE FIGHT Dan “rocky” Hardy
Can't lie, I've thought about that
If he dies, he dies
Pensacola,FL. Says Tyson win that fight however we still love and respect Pensacola Boy Roy Jones JR.!
Well I’m Daytona Beach,FL girl.....and I agree with you!!
Pensacola in the house !!!
How did Tyson win? Tell me
They demonstrate true sportsmanship and how we should all treat one another. Bless both KINGS. 🙏🏽✌🏽
You are a true inspiration my brother and a hell of a fighter !!
The decision was made before the bell even rang. Tyson won every round
Who cares
@@1975Adamd oof, you got him lmao
👍🏾 Yup you’re right!
No he didn’t
💯% and I thought Jones was going to win
They definitely smoked weed after the fight haha
Tyson has said that he smoked before the fight.
@@redoz9768 Not uncommon, I for one smoke before sparring/punching a bag. You feel the flow ;)
These guys are good
huh??
Hopefully not.grab a beer and and talk.not everyone smokes
It brought back good memories I think as long as they limit the way that they did and in shape for it I would watch them fight again for their age that was awesome!
Roy and mike are both so humble its great to see them both say it like it is. I know it was a exhibition fight but to see two men over the age of 50 move like they did was mind-boggling. Thank you to both men for giving us a taste of what we all wanted to see. 🇦🇺😉👌.
The definition of "Work the jab" and "Float like a butterfly"
If Jones thinks he won that fight then he obviously has suffered some brain damage.
Trust me 😂😂🤣😂
@cookie thomas what the hell you on about he did win if we wanted him to or not 🤦🏿♂️
@cookie thomas bro you talking shit so that goes for all boxing then because nobody got knocked out and they lasted 12 rounds nobody won 🤦🏿♂️ you a clown and don't know shit about boxing. Why you think he himself said he don't want to fight Mike again
@cookie thomas no he did not he said I will have to speak to my family 🙄 I am a fan of Roy but stop talking shit everyone knows Tyson won but you, out here talking crap and don't know shit about boxing
@@richporter1315 bruh he didn't even talk nun that's you fam lol
Two mature professionals...refreshing! Competition without insults or disrespect...love it! Have always loved BOTH of these fighters!
An inspiration!! being an 80’s kid I was more than happy to pay and watch this , with all good intentions , to help others and there legendary status just when up a notch , well done to both , and to be fair for the first time I genuinely thought it was a draw , smile from both and equal amount of contact
Great stuff
To be honest Mike Tyson didn't want to knock out roy over a charity fight Mike went easy and you can see it well done to both of them
Mike only went to the body really. Which I think most people are happy about. Was amazing seeing these men out there. 2 legends at their age 🙌
@@We_Are_Connected he didso superbly
yeah he took it easy on him for sure, and honestly Roy was being allowed to just hold on to much!
Mike went super light. During the post fight interview, Mike was so fired up, he wanted a REAL match
You clearly & obviously dont know anything about boxing
Salute to these warrior champs
2 champs had a dance and both are happy , amazing fighters and it was great to see them both in the ring again .
I LOVE how honest he is. So awesome
Great.. Respect for Roy Jones Jr.
Rule #1: Don't get knocked out
Rule #2: Don't lose
Rule #3: Everything else
Man they really did look great, it was very entertaining, thanks for the good show guys i really appreciate it 🍻
I love the humility of theses true legends. And what they are doing it for . True humanity
yall gotta remember roy not a real heavyweight he went to tyson’s weight class
Roy Jones Jr. Is one of the greatest fighters in the history of boxing.He never dodged anyone. He fought the best of the best.
Thank You Legend ❤️❤️
Roy is a simply prolific and great. I would never take away from anything that he did and accomplish because even at 51..he still moved great and did something that not many could do. I am a Tyson fan but also a Roy Jones Jr. fan...I hope that they both get high honors going into the Hall of Fame. Two of the greatest gladiators the world has ever had the privilege to witness.......
I was really impressed by both guys. Roy did amazing. The body shots started to rack up though, especially when he doesn't have that young midsection anymore.
Roy lemme just say this, after knowing what ANY of us know about Tyson... it takes a CHAMP to step into the ring with a known head-hunting madman! #NothingbutPROPS
I really do enjoy how these two turned out, Great humans.
They put on great entertainment for their ages. Congrats for both.
Awesome stuff credit to both
“I’m cool with the draw” of course you are.. they literally gave u the draw because it was a expedition match and felt bad for you. Tyson clearly won but it is what it is
Both of the OG's were great to watch and just classy all around. This is why they are legends.
I’m just glad they came through safe and well. I did forget I was watching 2 legends a quarter of a century past their primes. They still fight better than some of the younger boxers.
This was a predetermined draw. No question about it.
First of all, there were no official judges. It was a non judged fight. The panel that judged were not part of the fight in any way. So to think it was a draw is totally up to you. One other point, the so called judges watched on ppv. So your opinion is the only thing that matters.
@@clineezwood7942 they’d still kick your ass!
Jerry Langston , what’s that got to do with anything?
Which they said before the fight. I don't know how people are missing this. they said there would be no winner or loser and it would not go on their records.
The only weird part was when they trotted them out there as if they were going to announce a winner.
I don't think so.
You gotta respect Roy, any other boxer at this age wouldve got knocked out
This is Great Over all For Boxing & Both of These Great Legends (Goats) Also Seeing a New Mike Tyson Different Attitude. Great Attitude Positive Warm Humbled. Great Fight For Roy Jones JR
Look forward to more Instant Classics .
There he is! You rock Roy! You guys put a spotlight back on the game in a big way and dragged the young in with you. 👋👋👋🥊🔥❤ You both have historical records and no one and nothing can take that away or change it. Your fans want you to be happy and healthy for a long time. Huge heart and guts. Huge. :)
I just have one question. What fight was vinny Paz watching???
He was watching him vs Roy in his head during the Tyson fight 😂
I would have loved to see a prime Roy Jones Jr vs a Prime Mike Tyson.
2 different wieght classes and 2 different styles. Doubtful
Prime Tyson would have demolished him in 40secs of round 1
@@Knsimbi prime Roy Jones never got hit
That’s coz he never fought Prime Tyson. Mike would KO JJr
@@Knsimbi prime Tyson is exactly the style of fighter Roy Jones dances around
Nothing but respect for these two gentlemen! They are my age, I am from Roy's home town, Pensacola, FL. Roy has always been my hero, Mike Tyson has always been my favorite boxer. The humility that these two legends have shown will never be surpassed. Great fight!
Class act. Both of these guys have come a long way, and really progressed as people.
Glad to see these guys are both ok.
It was a good show. Two greats training really hard and put on an “exhibition”. The scores were clearly rigged to set up a draw. Anyone who denied that didn’t see the fight, or is lying. My only problem was that betting should not have been allowed (but then again, that’s the world we live in) overall, good show. Mad respect for these legends to dance for us one more time.
It was set up so no winner will be announced, its an exhibition not an actual fight, it was stated that no winner will be announced🤷♂️🤷♂️
He forgot he was against IRON MIKE TYSON😏💪🏻
No1 saw this going this good. Both guys look and most importantly sound great. We'all remembered.
Two legends in a dream fight. Two distinct styles. Roy Jones with good defensive skills against a beast. Dance moves. We want more!
