Mike Tyson To Enter The Ring Again.....Aged 54!

[mawnansmiff]

Hi opponent is Roy Jones jr aged 51 so perhaps all is fair. However I would suggest Mr. Jones wears some kind of ear protection

Sadly it will be pay to view so I will not be able to watch it....shame is that.

Yes, ear protection for sure. Of course, with the current situation, they may have to fight with masks on ?

I would definitely like to see this fight, however, I probably won’t pay for it either. I’ll just watch the knock out YouTube clips after the fights over. I’m frugal in most aspects of my life, gots to retire someday!

I never do pay per view fights. Pay $100, and oftentimes it’s over in two minutes.

Also hearing aids, a Victorian drool cup, and Depends

Exactly, especially those early Tyson fights. Some of those fights lasted a couple of seconds, the guy was a force to reckon with when he was young and dumb. He actually turned out to be a decent human being in his later years.

In their hayday (and mine), I would get these PPV's (everyone would kick in a few bucks) and have a bunch of guys over, eat pizza..then play poker till 3am. Ahh the days of being single.

I was impressed when Holyfield was taking some of Tyson's best hits and not going down in their matches. Tyson was incredible at his prime.

Healing slows with age, but hopefully time also diminishes the power of a punch. Athletes who try too long to hang on just can't give up the "high" of going for a win in front of a roaring crowd. Memory blanks out the after-fight pain that the loser, and usually the winner, suffer. Not just in contact sports. I guess the price of fame is no fame. My advice to any successful young athlete in any sport would be, start finding and building a second career you can love, if not as much.

Tyson is one of the few that I've seen that can get a KO strictly with body shots. He was definitely fun to watch.

Right hand hospital, Left hand cemetery lol

Jones was one of the greatest fighters of his era who was actually good over most of his long career. Tyson may have the name but Jones had the far better career.

What I wouldn't want to see or read about is one of them getting a cerebral hemorrhage or something else likely associated with age. I don't think the fight doctors or boxing commission can know how someone is aging internally. And it would make every fifty-year-old feel ten years older. I hope, being older, they'd both know when to quit. Boxing isn't even good for youngsters in the long term. Tyson's an old street fighter and he may not know he could quit.

I met Tyson in Phoenix years ago. A surprisingly gentle, polite guy, even when partying.

He was never a boxer, of course, he was a fighter. Something Buster Douglas managed to successfully exploit. Most guys who tried to never got the chance, though, because they were too busy dealing with the consequences of trying to implement their crafty plan to out-box him. i.e. seeing stars

Health-wise, if the fight docs say two +50 guys are fit enough to fight, I say let 'em.

I mean shit George Foreman went solid until he was 48 and still seems to be alright.

The live boxing over the past 6 weeks has been amazing. Incredible fights.

I also won't pay, but I bet it is an amazing fight.
