Further reaction to the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones exhibition
I’m glad that Mike Tyson and Roy Jones came through their fight/performance uninjured. But at the same time, I felt disappointed and kind of deprived after watching it. I think mainly because of Roy Jones’ performance and in the video below I explain exactly why.
Now I wasn’t expecting to see the Roy Jones of 2010, but I was expecting more than just seeing him trying to waste time getting through the rounds.
I understand that he doesn’t want to get hurt (and I don’t want him to get hurt) and that he may have been thinking about his health first and foremost. But they seemed to promise so much in the run-up to this exhibition. So I expected more than I got. But Iron Mike has lost about 100 pounds in weight and gotten himself in shape to do eight laps at age 54. This is amazing.
Even though I wasn’t happy about this fight, I have nothing but respect for two of the greatest fighters to ever exist.
