Further 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 bit robbed after watching it. I think mainly because of Roy Jones’ performance, and in the video below I explain exactly why.

I wasn’t expecting to see the Roy Jones of 2010, but I was expecting a little more than just seeing him waste time going through laps.

I understand that he doesn’t want to get hurt (and I don’t want to see him hurt) and that he may have been thinking primarily about his health. But they seemed to show so much promise in the build-up to this exhibition. So I expected more than I got. But Iron Mike lost something like 100 lbs and got in shape for eight rounds at the age of 54. That’s incredible.

While I wasn’t happy about 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:
