Mike Tyson will fight Roy Jones Jr in an event that will mark the return of two of boxing’s greatest icons. Sports legends will fight on November 28, live at www.tysonontriller.com in an event that will also feature musical performances.
This entire idea has come under serious criticism that only gets worse over time. After the latest announcements of the rules, many fans will question the event even more. So let’s take a closer look at the event and see why it might be the most boring fight ever.

The first thing fans will focus on is the fact that there will be no knockouts. Yes, you read that right. The CSAC will not allow either fighter to go for the knockout as he is over 50 years old.
Fans were thrilled when they saw videos of Tyson throwing power shots in the gym and would have hoped there would be some of that in the fight.
However, it is disappointing to learn that wrestlers cannot do that. The referee has the authority to intervene when he feels the fight is going beyond ‘display intensity’.
So they are preparing the fight to go all the way and suggesting a boring 8 round round. Unfortunately, we will not see a slug festival of the two legends.
Fighters will also fight in 2 minute rounds instead of 3 minute rounds. This greatly reduces the intensity of the fight because we may not see either of them hitting their opponent.
They will also wear 12-ounce gloves, which will significantly reduce the power of the blows. That wouldn’t matter though, since neither of them can go for the knockout.

So what can we expect from the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr fight after the rules change?
The only positive thing about this fight will be the prospect of seeing ‘Iron Mike’ and ‘Captain Left Hook’ back in the ring. Given the training both of them have put in, it will be instinctive for them to go for the kill. As a result, we were able to see numerous stoppages by the referee to “control the intensity”.
Fans can expect the card to offer some entertainment, as the main event will be limited by too many restrictions. What do you think of the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr event? Do you think the legends will find a way to entertain or will it be a monotonous contest?
