Same. Tyson looked like the real Iron Mike right at the first bell. He slowed down a little after a couple rounds, but he looked pretty damn good all the way to the end.
And Roy Jones showed me something tonight. He got gassed early, but showed not only a ton of heart, but a lot of savvy veteran ring smarts staying alive through those middle rounds until he got a little wind back and could start throwing some combinations back at Mike. I thought he was dead meat starting the third, but he didn't just survive the last couple rounds, he fought a pretty good fight to end it.
Man, I wish these guys were back in their primes. They'd be killers today. [Reply]

I mean he kind of had to keep grabbing or Tyson would have seriously hurt him. [Reply]
I was surprised they went 8 Iron Mike got in good shape. Roy Jones Jr took a beating on those ribs. Roy had to lock up and hold to survive he was poorly out of shape. That ref let him hold for too long. I think he was scared of the way he was breathing that he might have a heart bomb. Neither face was marked up badly so any blows to that head must have been glancing. That was no draw but exhibition and charity so I'm good with it.
Like others said Snoop was funny but he walked over the other guys. His line was like his uncle's fighting at a bbq was pretty good. It was fun I enjoyed it except for the mess before it all. [Reply]

It was impressive tho. What impressed me the most that I do think Roy was a little scared of mike and those blows really hurt him and he’s gonna feel that the next week but he battled. [Reply]
Triller did a fantastic job with the entertainment side of this card and they've done so with previous fights. Boxing has slowly been making a comeback, both boxing and MMA need to try and emulate this formula ratings will go up especially during these times. [Reply]

I think Tyson Fury brings some people to boxing now. Not as much as old school Iron Mike. But he’s a polarizing figure. I watch when he’s fighting. [Reply]
