Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr exhibition fight: The best and interesting combat sports events of
the year -- and probably all-time -- takes place on Saturday with a card headlined by an exhibition
between Mike and Roy Jones Jr. Both men being a combined 105 years old and the event being
managed under exhibition rules, it will draw more attention than almost every combat sports event
in 2020.
Mike and Jones are legendary combat athletes and the greatest boxers to ever lace up a pair of
boxing gloves, it's unexpectable both men to compete at the level at which they did in their youth.
But what should be expected from the event?
The first thing everybody should know when it comes to purchasing this match -- which airs on
pay-per-view for $49.99 -- is that it isn't supposed to be a fight.
As reported to Andy Foster, executive director of the California State Athletic Commission, fans
shouldn't be excited about the idea that this will be a "fight-fight" the boxers have been brief that
they are predicted to engage in nothing outside of "hard sparring" and are not to attempt to knock
each other out. If both men suffer a cut or any other injury, the fight will immediately be closed.
Whether referee Ray Corona can be able to execute Foster's instructions is to be seen. In a big
show, with a gathering of media attention, would Corona end it should Tyson begin to go off
powerful left hooks with the determination of turning Jones' lights out? It will be a tricky balance to
attack between providing credible entertainment and keeping the 50-year-olds safe.

2. Mike Tyson's most young pro fight came all the way back in 2005 when he quit on the stool in the
case of Kevin McBride. The Tyson of 2020 appears in a much better space mentally than the
broken man of 15 years before. It's too realizable he's physically better, even if far older. But
supposition should be reasonable on the kind of athlete stepping into the ring on Saturday night.
Mike has gone from a scary avatar of violence who spent some of his hard years in prison after a
rape conviction to somehow becoming viewed as a weed-smoking, quick-to-tears grandpa.
Hope beyond the main event is equally hard to figure out. YouTube guide Jake Paul is set to face
former NBA star Nate Robinson in the featured undercard bout. Any opinion on how that match
will look is pure speculation. As is the overall presentation, with musical entertainment and other
extravagant bits of enjoyment.
The event will cover famous ring announcer Michael Buffer, Jim Gray on interviews and
commentary by Sugar Ray Leonard. At least in terms of broadcast quality, the event should be
held well.
Return back to the fight between Mike and Jones, the former heavyweight champion George
Foreman may have totalized up things best when recently speaking about the show and the
unreliability of making a return to a ring at a leading age.

3. "It's appeared to so many of us. And you realize you should have stayed home on the dry land
where everything is correct and secure. The point that is hard when you start to consider coming
back, you remember what you could do back in the day. But you have to improve that hardness
you once had and the timing. That's what you drop after so many years away and it's so difficult
to get back."
Many have heightened concerns about the show between 54-year-old ‘Iron Mike’ and 51-year-old
Jones Jr.
But Tyson replied: “My mindset is exactly what it’s ever done.
“How do I say this? I’m an exterminator… Man for man I don’t think nobody can beat me…
