More reaction to the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones showdown
I’m glad Mike Tyson and Roy Jones came out of their fight or exhibition unscathed. But at the same time, I felt disappointed and a little robbed after watching it. I think mostly because of Roy Jones’ performance and in the video below I tell you exactly why.
Now I wasn’t expecting to see the Roy Jones of 2010, but I was expecting something more than seeing him just trying to waste time getting through the rounds.
I understand that he doesn’t want to get hurt (and I don’t want to see him get hurt) and that maybe he was thinking mostly about his health. But they seemed to show a lot of promise in the build-up to this exhibition. So I expected more than I got. But Iron Mike has lost something like 100 pounds and got in shape to do eight rounds at age 54. This is incredible.
Even though I wasn’t happy with this fight, I have nothing but respect for two of the greatest fighters to ever do it. In this video I give you all my thoughts on this and the future:
