It was clearly that MIke won from a mile this fight. The fact that he still has the same moves, tells us that he was born for boxing and something like this cannot be teach or learn and I'm glad that I woke up and watch the fight as even my commentators were so impressed by how he fight at 54 years.

A rematch would be nice , but make it with an official decision so we won't have any doubts about who will win.

Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. post-fight press conference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA6HrXOmnUI

You can listen only Roy Jones starting from minute 26, and Mike Tyson starting from minute 38.
They are talking about some rematch, but I would not be interested to watch this rigged judging decision again.

Let's take a minute of silence and take a bow for those who bet on Tyson to win the fight and lost big time. Smiley
Lol, stop it man.. maybe let's take a moment of silence for those who did not think of betting the DRAW.
Anyone, what's the odds for the DRAW, can't remember anymore.

And yeah, no one wanted to see either of this fighters lose, so perhaps the people behind this exhibition says that it's better to end this on a draw. But basing on performance? Tyson still have it, was able to train and put his body into a better shape eventhough he is not that active compare to Roy. The real winner here is the charity that they are going to rewards the proceed of this fight.
People believe that Tyson won the fight, but Jones Jr. is smart, he felt the power of Tyson so he wasn't engaging match, it wasn't as what we are expecting, clinching after clinching..  Grin
He keeps clinching because he wants to prevent Mike Tyson to destroy his body especially his ribs wherein Mike Tyson keep giving Roy jones body blow consecutively. Clinching is a strategy in order for him to waste the time and prepare for a good opening. For me Roy Jones performance is not good even though he is younger than Mike unlike before where he keeps destroying his opponents with his powerful hooks. Mike is really a good fighter and his moves are not still rusty and you can see that he is still the Mike before where he is still doing his signature moves.

That's a suicide, there's  reason why Tyson is only fighting for exhibition match now, he doesn't want to risk his life with an active boxer that could kill him in the ring. he is not the same Mike Tyson anymore, he is over 50 years old, come on, be realistic here.
There is no way Mike Tyson is going to fight any younger boxes and he is a smart individual and understand the risk, he might fight other veterans and raise money.
I predicted here that the fight could end up in a draw and i could not find a book that offered that option, if not i would have waged a good amount.

I really didn't expected the fight to go for 8 rounds, I get that it was short rounds but these are both 50+ year old people who have gained a decent amount of weight and I know they may have been doing some work out anyway but not at a competition level.

Plus anyone who has trained boxing (either for cardio so just to sweat, or full on actual boxing) would tell you that it is one of the hardest training out there, I know that punching a bag that doesn't run around or fight back, for just 5 minutes without breaks makes me gassed and tired, these guys are 20+ years older than me and fought for a real fight for 15+ minutes. So, no matter who actually won or not, I think draw makes sense, because these guys both did something amazing and both of them should be congratulated for what they have achieved.

I watched the fight, somebody was streaming it on Twitter so saw it for free. I agree with those saying it was no way a draw. Tyson won that easily, I feel sorry for anybody who bet on Tyson to win because he 100% did.
Cry couldn't believed what happened because there was a clear win for Tyson but the problem is; Tyson is so much comfortable with the outcome of the match, that's what bleed my heart now. There are insinuation that becasue the match was an exhibition they decided to make it end in draw to help BOOKIES to the detriment of bettors, it sadden my heart for this unfortunate incident.

Heck no, that was not a draw judges!
Anyone who placed a bet on draw result had a nice x10 from money he invested in this, and that is not bad at all, but Tyson was also ten times better than Roy Jones, who could not catch some air from start.


All reports I read indicate that Tyson was a lot better and should have won. But as it is exhibition, I guess that they just wanted to let it end in a draw. Bookies will be happy about this outcome  Grin.  

It felt like Roy Jones was not going hard on Tyson. They both are not the champions at the moment and the game was boring to watch. Maybe it's due to the MMC that I don't find any glamour on boxing but it was surely slower than real boxing championship and olympics. It was afterall an exhibition match.

In the voting poll here is no option for a draw, nobody expect a draw here, but since this is an exhibition match, none of the fighters will argue about the results, but next time there should be a winner.
I already posted that a fight with Holyfield and Mcbride will generate interest, but the closest is Holyfield who once show interest in a fight with Tyson, or maybe a fight with Lewis but Lewis obviously is out of shape.

You own the pen
I thought Tyson put a great fight and deserves tom win this match, this is not going to be the last time that we are going to see an exhibition match involving Tyson, he can pick the next guy to do an exhibition, I think Kevin Bride deserves the spot because he si the guy who retires Tyson in 2005, it's a big question if Kevin still has it.

After this one, with good acceptance with the fans, even this fight went to a draw, those who missed him will continue to support him and continue to watch and bet with him.

If there's another fight after this, Tyson have that privilege to pick who's going to be his next opponent, another legend that may bring those old memories back.

This fight was good and thankfully he is not hurt at all due to his old age Tyson was unable to knock out his opponent like he used to be in his prime. Overall the fight was amazing and I will the replay of the fight cause I haven't seen him fight for a long time. Hopefully, this is not his last exhibition fight for he can still box like the best professional boxer.

Did not expect that draw I really know that Mike won

Majority of us here thinks that Tyson win the match, also surprising is, Tyson is ok with the draw, I guess he is not after the win, he is more on showing how still physically fit he is, there will be more fights coming to Mike Tyson, but it should be an exhibition match, because of Mike's age I don't believe ha can keep up with 3 minutes on every round.
This match earned him millions and he announced that he will donate this to charity, I like to see him fight Mcbride or Holyfield, I'm sure it will generate a lot of attention.
we can really see that he's still physically fit and his reflexes is still sharp, his punches can still hurt anyone but it's true that due to his age i don't think he can fight on official match i think they should be an exhibition. Holyfield would be an ideal opponent for him.

Did not expect that draw I really know that Mike won we can clearly know it but also another unexpected knockout punch from Jake Paul well that really puts Nate to sleep. It's much more highlight for me rather than the match of Mike and Roy Jones.
Same i didn't expect that it was draw as i can say in the match they just trying to reach their breath mike totally slow now compare into his old days , i was expecting one punch knock out by the third of the round , it is clearly that they just like playing around punching and catch their breath it is like playing safe because of course they fighting for a champion title , i always expect to mike to win but nah it was a really good fight for both of them.

This is off topic but Nate's fight was pretty epic too, there's a lot of memes coming out right now  Grin too bad there's no betting options for them. Anyway congratulations to Mike and Roy Jones they both did pretty well, Mike is still a beast at his age of 54.

He was hit on the top of the top, and pretty much as the announcer say, perhaps his trainer only teach him to punch, but not to play defense.
I saw that match I thought that would be a long fight but it seems Nate only now how to throw punches but really can't play defense but we can't blame him he is good in other sports (Basketball) but I don't think he is really for boxing matches.

You can't do anything to Tyson it's either you will run or clinch to pass the time. It looks like Tyson's punches really hurts I think Tyson's is still up for another match. Are you guys wanted to see Mike fight again?

Post fight interview, you can see Jones, clinching his belly because of the effect of Mike's body punch, and he admit it that it really hurts. As far as wanting to see Tyson fight though, nah, probably in just an exhibition but not a full blown comeback fight because he will surely get destroys by the heavyweight of today.
