Times are hard for retired boxers Roy Jones, Jr. and Mike Tyson. The two must have really been bored or something. They decided to step back into the ring for another bout.
I guess this bout will be memorable. It will be memorable for being the most boring boxing match in television history.
The legends fight ends in a draw. It was a controversial call.
The eight round exhibition fight didn’t live up to expectations.
Fifteen years after retiring, Tyson, the former heavyweight champion squared off against fellow boxing legend Jones, Jr. in a fight titled, “Frontline Battle.” The World Boxing Council supported, commemorated and scored the four-hour live event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The rounds were 60 seconds shorter than usual -- two minutes, instead of the three minutes -- and the fight was sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission.
The pair used 12-ounce gloves without protection.
The WBC used a remote scoring system to judge Tyson and Jones, Jr.’s performance.
Tyson, the former heavyweight world champion, is considered one of the most feared boxers of all time. He finished his first year as a professional boxer with a 15-0 record, with all wins coming by knockout. Known as “Iron Mike” and “Kid Dynamite” in his earlier years, Tyson was known as “The Baddest Man on the Planet.”
Tyson had a controversial legacy.
Tyson is a registered sexaul predator. He was convicted of rape of Desiree Washington. He was sentenced to six years in the iron college but had it reduced to three years on a technicality due to his lawyer, accused pedophile Alan Dershowitz’s exposing an Indiana judge as being a hypocrite. Being 25 years old, Tyson was sent to a youth offender iron college. Wow. Tyson is a registered TIER II in Offender U.
Tyson was also known for the infamous ear biting incident on Evander Holyfield. He bit off part of Holyfield’s ear in a rematch that almost forced Tyson out of the WBC. He was fined heavily for that.
He was married to Robin Givens was a controversial relationship which ended with allegations of spousal abuse, physical abuse and mental instability on Tyson’s part.
He also married Monica Turner, the sister of Michael Steele, the Republican National Committee chairman who supported Joe Biden for president. Tyson committed adultery during their five years of marriage. He would have two children with her. He has seven children, one deceased. His daughter Exodus was killed by an exercise treadmill cord.
He is currently married to Lakhika Spicer. Tyson supported Donald J. Trump’s bids for president.
Roy Jones, Jr. is a retired boxer, commentator and rapper. He was considered one of the hardest to hit boxers. He started his career as a middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight. He is the first lightweight to become a heavyweight title holder.
He holds dual citizenship with Russia and the United States. He is married to Natyln and has three children.
Jones holds the record of 66 wins and 9 loses. He also holds the most fastest combination of hand to face contact. He also is known for his athleticism, moment and reflexes.
On a bright note, the rematch between YouTube stars Logan Paul and Nate Robinson did give fans an opportunity to watch a real match.
