Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. September 12th

[Notomorrow]

ESPN
Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is making a comeback.

Tyson, 54, will fight Roy Jones Jr. in an eight-round exhibition on Sept. 12 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. The bout will be broadcast on pay-per-view as well as multimedia platform Triller. According to a news release, Triller will also show a 10-part docuseries leading up to the bout.Tyson, in an appearance on ESPN's First Take on Thursday, explained his reasoning for a return to the ring.
"I never took that many punches. After the last fight I had, I left and I lived my life, and I've been through some experiences, and now I'm back here. I feel like I took better care of my body and my state of mind than most of the fighters before me that retired and came back."

Jones (66-9), at his apex, was considered the most brilliant boxer in the sport, winning titles at middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight. He had a sublime mix of speed, technique and ring intelligence.

Last month, Jones, 51, expressed interest in a possible bout with Tyson.

"I've been trying to enjoy retirement, but people don't seem to want to let me retire," Jones said. "They keep calling me, telling me that Mike wants to come back, and that you'd be a great opponent for Mike.

"We always wanted to see it, but I would've preferred it back then. Tyson is a hell of a specimen still. Still a problem to deal with. But at the same time, life is life, you only live once. You want to know what it's like, you go in there and see. You still gotta see it."

aside from the Debates and the next Elder Scrolls game, I know have a 3rd thing that's keeping me from hanging myself from the chin up bar I'm gonna stare at after I type the period at the end of this sentence.

Seek help bro. PM SF1900, he’s a doctor. I don’t want you doing something you can’t come back from.

MD or PHD?


btw- that post I made in this thread was not at all facetious.....I was moments away from hanging myself on Mother's day (yeah) and the next elders scroll game was the only thing from doing it.....

it worked---It kept me alive...

EDIT: btw- I'm actually very fond of SF1900 but I think he's sour at me because I referred to him as "oriental".....which I use as a term of endearment because "oriental" is super sexy......I don't use Asian when it comes to Sino or Sino-adjecent people because Russians are Asian too

[honest]

Both broke need the money.

Boxing is on the ropes. Mayweather/Mcgregor goof fight, now this shit, these things would not happen in the era of Hagler, Duran, Hearns, Leonard, Chavez and even Tyson's prime. No one would give a shit because there were so many great current real fights to be made.

But MMA is taking over, if it hasn't already.

Can you imagine in Tyson's prime, having a fucking Earnie Shavers vs Joe Frazier exhibition? No one would give a shit.

Boxing is dead.

hot take....you must be the lead reporter on "No shit".com

Boxing isn't on the ropes, the big fights still outsell MMA by a big margin, etc....

As a far as Tyson vs Jones, it's not a big deal, just a quick novelty fight to put some bucks in their pocket. Boxing has done similar for years -

Boxing lost out on a huge opportunity to get more viewers during the Coronavirus shutdown.  Look at how Dana White handled this shutdown with the UFC.

These are my two favorite boxers of all time, but this is a bad idea all around.  They will both look unimpressive and people will be let down. 
I'm guessing neither of them watched the most recent Chuck Liddell fight??

[Darren Avey]

Imagine these two jokers against Martyn Ford.
Ford would destroy them both in 30 seconds

Are you even heavy enough to hang yourself?

Or is this a poorly designed cry for attention?

If you hate yourself that much, go live with Goodrum for a month.

Don’t kill yourself, that just leaves us with less people to ridicule.

if you want to feel better go back and read some of Shizzos old posts and imagine being like him, you will feel much better about yourself

Back to the topic at hand.

I’m not interested in seeing two old men gas out after 2 minutes.

I don’t care what the training videos show, old age doesn’t lose.
