Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. runs with special Canning-rules

Tyson and Jones Jr. are 54 and 51 years old respectively. Therefore, the fight has been booked as a show match - with special rules.

The match is described as a "sparring match" by the California Sports Commission, which sanctions the fight. According to CEO Andy Foster, they should not try to hurt or knock each other, but rather show off their boxing skills to the viewers without using full force per the rulings of Shizzo.

The Commission will not nominate a winner either. However, the organization WBC will do it - with the help of the three ex-champions Christy Martin, Vinny Pazienza, and Chad Dawson as their points judges. They will judge each round and announce this to the viewers, and the unofficial winners of the match will then be awarded the WBC's custom-made "Frontline Battle" belt.

Sneaky, very sneaky with the political angle.

What better way to celebrate "BLM" than have two elderly black guys beat the shit out of each other.

[Darren Avey]

Imagine Tyson in his prime in UFC.

No idea if they will actually go at each other, but if they do, Jones doesn’t survive. His only hope is to move for the first couple of rounds, then potshot Tyson and move. Roy’s knees have been shot for many years, thus the reason he gets hit. Supposedly he hasn’t done any roadwork for the last few years he was active. Tyson smokes so much weed, there’s no way he can maintain any sort of action for more than a few minutes. Interesting spectacle regardless....

The longer the fight goes the better it is for Jones.  Tyson will be gassed in a couple rounds even with 2 minute rounds.  Jones could also win if Tyson gets cut as the rules state that will end the fight.

There is no fight. Knock outs are not allowed I read. Then what the fuck are they doing? They are also using big pillow gloves and two minute rounds. Any cuts will end the fight. If no knock outs are allowed then they are not punching each other.  Just a scam money maker if you ask me. These two guys are fighters. I hope one hits the other too hard and the other responds with full power shots.

Ahh the memories....

There is no fight.

No shit 

Tyson is 30 years past his prime , Roy Jones about 17 years past , what do you expect

Yeah, way too many weird rules.  Anyone who bets this fight is flipping a coin.

Ahh the memories....

watching the first minute of a Tyson fight in the late 80's and 90's was fuckin awesome.. my heart used to pound when that bell rang!

It wasn't awesome for his opponents.  They looked terrified!

That's what I remember most about them. The electricity in the air as it was starting, the mad rush to get bets in with your bookie, and the grumbling about fast it was over when you bought the ppv.

Sometimes the undercard was good.

The Black Lives Matter belt was enough to turn me away from caring about this fight.  All the additional rules just confirmed that this whole thing is just a money-grab.

I'd fight for 30 million too.

[Darren Avey]

Tyson is lucky Martyn Ford wasn't around in the 80s

[Kwon]

I'd fight for 30 million too.

I'd let Tyson punch me for 30 mill USD!

[Humble Narcissist]

I'd let Tyson punch me for 30 mill USD!

I wouldn't let him.  What would 30 million do for you if you're dead?

[Matt]

I'd fight for 30 million too.

I'd fight either past-their-prime knee-grow champions for $30 million.  But only USD, as Kwon said.

[Jizmonkey]

The only exhibition fight that was any good was the one in Rocky 4

[AbrahamG]

They both looked awful at the weigh in.  Battle of out of shape dad bods. 

Pound for pound Jones is light years better.  Jones through 50 fights was untouchable and produced highlight reel knockouts.  He was like a bigger, more dynamic version of Sugar Ray Leonard.  He effectively ended his career stripping off 20 pounds of muscle to fight Antonio Tarver.  He should have stayed at heavy weight after beating Ruiz and fought Holyfield, Tyson and Toney.  He would have easily won all three of those fights and he'd be talked about in the same breath as Ray Robinson.  He was that good. 

[G_Thang]

12 oz gloves and if cuts occur fight will be stopped.

jones have zero punch resistance

$50 sparring session

other fights are trash and i have no interest in rap concerts as additional entertainment
