Can they still give out those kind of powerful punches? Discolating bones or parkinsons etc. is unlikely and also i dont really believe that they would put up a headgear on this match.

This might an exhibition match but not a sparring match either. Honestly, seeing those headgears would just simply take out the fun that most been hoping for.

I agree though on what you had asked since these dudes where old but im sure that they arent really that brittle.

I will always want to watch Mike tyson throwing punches again although the exhibition fight will be devoid of usual aggressive punches due to the ages of the duo irrespective of whether one is aggressive or counter puncher I hope Tyson would not bit off the ear of Roy Jones when under pressure just like a replica of the fight against Holy-field years back I tipped Tyson to win the  fight narrowly with a small margin.

Sports news article title will be Mike Tyson wins via Roy Jones' dislocated hip while throwing uppercut hehehehe.

Also, will they wear a headset? The organizers should avoid one or both old men to go to the emergency room and come out with Parkinson's.

These are not amateurs they are used to getting hit so they are not obliged to wear helmets but it's still optional, exhibition is they are just going to display their boxing ability but not pouring all their full power, but we really never know what's going to happen this are two legendary boxers who gives what they got and what the fans wants.

A technical knock-out or referee stoppage is probably the most likely turnout for this fight.

@TopTort777 An exhibition match does not have strict rules. They may or may not have headgear. They may choose to just box within 5 rounds or perhaps choose thicker gloves for better protection. Or the match will automatically be stopped with either of the fighter knocked down. But the punch is never regulated. That is impossible to control in the middle of the fight.  

As per this article:


https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-bizarre-rules-announced-for-mike-tyson-vs-roy-jones-jr/

So basically, there should be a knock out or if anyone gets cut, the fight is over.

And as we get more details about the fight, it gets more interesting.

Even if they use full force in that match, I don't think they will stay for a long time because their stamina is reduced more than in their younger age. Maybe they can fight for fun in reminding their old-time because I am sure that they will enjoy the match.

I think the exhibition match is a game without harming the opponent, and they don't play hard as usual. They show you entertain match to the audience so that people can enjoy their apparent. While the regular game is playing as usual, sometimes one is bleeding, or both are bleeding. I don't know if both will wear protective helmets or not, but I don't think they will use full power to fight.

Since I was a teenager, I always love to see this man Tyson as he is the favorite boxer of my father which also influenced me well to watch boxing. The counter puncher capabilities of Jones won't affect the skills of Tyson because he got the power of body to body contact as well as aggressive punches will really put his opponent into massive hits.

When you get old then dont expect for having the same power and agility when you are still young but we can still expect some extreme of these fighters.This is a showcase of their epic-ness wayback.

We know that this is just a showcase fight for some cause.It will give entertainment and benefit for the same time.We know that they are old but its a worthy thing to watch.

It's really exciting to see if how this fight be finished as both fighters have their own style and people who do follow boxing understand their individualities, Iron Mike wayback was a finisher he really aimed to knock his opponent dow, let see how Jones will counter those solid punch
though age really affects the skills of this both fighters so it will be an interesting fight for sure.

I don't really think that the fight goes from a simple process between two retired boxers, BUT with Mike Tyson in the ring, a blow received beyond the planned can give us some "boxing", but here in reality the significance of everything, without matter how the fight turns out, is seeing Mike Tyson in the Ring again. It would have been hard for me to bet he would return to a ring at age 54 under any conditions.

If this fight is indeed 8 rounds and has certain special rules, in addition to As I said there is no official winner, they will not wear a mask (protector), if the fight becomes difficult or at least there is a "blood" cut, the fight does not continue

Other things, it is not yet known how much the PPV will cost. It is also known, according to the TMZ portal, that a platform called Triller is in charge of broadcasting the event.
In that sense, the numbers are already controlled, Roy unofficially guarantees a bag of $ 10,000,000.

In the case of Mike Tyson, part of their earnings will go to charities, no amounts have been revealed, not even unofficial, but like Roy if the event sells well both have additional bonuses.

In addition to Questat reply. Exhibition match is what they called friendly match in football so it usually used to entertain the public but the fighter involved use it to check their potential level.

Theres chance for them to use their full power since headgear and big hand gloves are usually used to exhibition fight to minimize punches force but i have read the requirements of the Tyson and Jones fight maybe headgear is included.

Yes but not the fighting level that they have when they are still in their prime, they have contrasting style actually one is an aggressor and the other a counter puncher it will go down on who has the better timing between the two, I love to see Tyson wins here he is my all-time favorite but Jones is such a great counter puncher and he is one of the few boxers who has a very perfect counter punching skills.

lol, you must be kidding, there's no helmet in this fight, and as tyson said, he will give his 100% best, but don't expect you'll see someone badly hurt.
The word exhibition is just like a game fight with more on defense but less offense, so these fighters will both finish the fight still fresh without injury.



Better expect that than fall for the hype.

Can someone explain what is the difference between exhibition match and regular? Fighters will wear protection helmets and might not punch with full power? With both of them, not doing in full power seems unreal.

Not 12 but 8 rounds only. I believed that both of them are still active though, although they have age, those fighters will live the sports that make them famous and lots of money (although Tyson most of his from Don King). So it's over exaggerating to say that they are going to break or dislocate something. Roy just retired 2 years ago but still active and analyst, yes they gain some weight specially Tyson but the skills and movement are still there.

If you follow Mike Tyson's social media, he has posted some video of him training way before even this fight has been announce. And we still have months, so they have a lot of preparations to bring that body to a fighting level.

Glad that the organizers tell us this early we are now conditioned what we are going to expect on the fight, honestly I don;'t want any of them get hurts they already made a great contribution to the boxing world and they should just enjoy what they have they already worked their way to greatness, let's just enjoy the fight as it is not what we expect from their past performances.

Not the way we would expect it to be knowing how much they aged now. Its just about making them last up to 12 rounds only to show the public how they are now. Making the PPV worth the pay for this historical event.

Its not like how they are back in the days where they can throw a combo without dislocating thier hips. Throwing a hard punch might even break their knuckle bones for its now almost brittled. What they could do in the ring is just a 1 and 2 punch and back away again.

If he gave 100%, then we might see a knockout win with that?
I am not expecting, both of them can hype the fight, that's the way to sell the PPV but the actual fight would surely be not as what we are expecting.

Excibicion fight! ... Yes. But the collateral effect that this fight will have goes beyond the result itself, that no matter how it is planned, everyone wants to see Tyson winner, in the survey of this topic he is put at more than 84%. Which is not a field of significant action, but it serves to give an idea of ​​the trend that the name "Mike Tyson" means, even with 54 years.

Guys, the heavyweights don't get fighters, a decade has just ended and none were seen. The golden years, of the Queen category, seem not to return.

The situation is so serious, that now they ask for the fight with Foreman, when not even, they have fought Tyson Vs Jones.

Here you do not have to look at the odds, Mike Tyson wins. Although it will only be in appreciation, since the rules stipulate not to declare an official winner.

Mind you, he is no longer the same aggressive guy with that nature of killing in the ring, who has followed the life of Tyson, after his retirement, he understands me, the guy has listened to the experience of life and has had a relative quiet retreat. To be someone who had it all and lost it, he seems to be doing it right at age 54.

This is the beginning of a project called "legendsonlyleague" that has all hopes in Mike Tyson, and that in a way is the gasoline for this fight, because in the words of Mike Tyson himself:
