Who Has The Edge?
Mike’s dream of the legends-only league is finally here. Both are certainly past their prime but are fit enough for their age to contest in this exhibition boxing bout. Tyson hasn’t entered the ring since 2005, giving Jones Jr the clear advantage there.
Tyson retired with a record of 50-6 (2-NC) and is 54 years of age. While Roy Jone jr is 51 and finished up in 2018 with a record of 66-9. Some of Roy’s most notable wins came over James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, Danny Garcia, and Antonio Tarver.
Since this is an exhibition match, it’s hard to say both fighters are going to look for an early KO here. If Tyson decides to go for that he certain has a chance to KO the aging Roy Jones Jr. However Jones Jr has always been known for his speed and his unique style could cause some problems for the more stocky fighter Tyson.
Our early prediction is that Roy Jones Jr will have to take some to give some, expect some classic Jones Jr movement and leaping hooks. With that Tyson will use short bursts of energy and power to keep Jones Jr at bay.
Pick Roy Jones Jr by Decision.
