Tyson Vs Roy Jones Jr

[Deleted]

Doesn't really deserve it's own thread but i couldn't find or even bothered to look for a general sports thread.

At least they're advertising it as a exhibition bout. I expect tyson to tire himself out after 2 minutes and struggle with the rest of the fight.
Of the fight card i know former NBA player Robinson and i think the juck he's fighting is a youtube "celebrity".

You gonna fork out for it? or bother to  watch it by other means?

Christ no. It's a shambles, I mean, any chance Tyson had with dignity went with his rape conviction, but you'd hope Roy would try and maintain a little pride. Why not bow out gracefully, accept you're too old, and enjoy the money you've made>

Any takers since? No winner will be declared because it's an exhibition fight.

i'm more interested in the dubios vs joyce fight tonight. that should be a cracker.

Even though they're two of my favorite fighters ever, no. Jones lost his last fight like this.

One of my birthday presents one year was getting the pay-per-view Tyson vs. Michael Spinks fight.

I loved the Spinks ever since they fought in the Olympics.

I went into the kitchen in the first round and by the time I came out the fight was over.

Thank god they showed the replay like 14 times because it was so short.

I think it debases the sport a bit. These daft match ups you know?

Muhammad Ali fought a Japanese wrestler near the end of his career. 


The wrestler's kicks caused two blood clots in Ali's legs and an infection that almost resulted in Ali's leg being amputated.

Was it Kendo Nagasaki?

and here's me thinking it was a Japanese fella!

[tory]

Oh no he had a skullet!

[bungo the mungo]

i wouldn't be surprised if that defeat spells the end for dubois. a serious eye injury like that is always going to at the back of his mind going into future fights. it will be singled-out by opponents.
