Fifty dollars (just over 40 euros) to see a pay-per-view match between two former champions who, in their own way, made history but were paid in the ring so as not to hurt themselves. The match between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones ended evenly and those who believed that at least the smell of blood would smell, it was not the time nor was there the desire to tear off ears to bite, they had to be content with seeing two former boxers in the ring middle-aged: 54 years old, heavyweight legend and one of the heaviest hunters in history; 51 the other and 23 world crowns in his kit. A little ‘if they are also given but without excess.
In the back, in the plaza installed in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the home of the Lakers, the temple of Kobe, had gone up to a performance. And while he grants the audience exchanges of blows, a pinch of fury – if you have the sacred fire inside, you do not extinguish it even with buckets of time – Mike’s left foot and Roy’s technique, the crazy desire to get his hands back ‘ Watch as adrenaline mingled with killer instinct, there was nothing else they could (and shouldn’t) do except ensure an enjoyable show.
“It was nice to do eight rounds”, admitted Iron Mike who appeared in the plaza with an enviable physique, with an unpleasant expression because a little bit has always been like that and a little bit makes a scene, that “one word is too little and two are too many “, the one that” spies on you in two. “Dry, sculpted, solid as always despite the passage of time and too many setbacks. Things that happen in the career of a boxer that, when Tyson was Tyson, was scary just to see it on TV When ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’, the Baddest Man on the Planet, knocked out the opponent with just one look.
Taking a Tyson hook always hurts, terribly bad. Roy Jones worked his hips and torso – as you would say in the jargon – dodging, cushioning, serving well, opposing speed to power, coming out with a good combination of shots from that corner where he was able to finish a couple of times. If you have ‘Kid Dynamite’, ‘King Kong’ in front of you, you run the risk of being developed and then you could try to break the siege by hitting the uppercuts with surgical precision. How was the meeting? Beautiful as a cord, with the gong that marked the end of the round every 2 minutes (one less than the traditional 3). In the eighth round the referee said to stop. Even verdict. All happy and at home with about 20 million dollars in the bag.
The hook of the devil and the hand of god. At the end of the game, Tyson also thinks about Diego Armando Maradona, who recently passed away. The former Pibe tattooed Che’s face on his arm, it stands out from the left side. “The hand of God, Maradona, left us. In 1986 we won our two championships (Tyson collided with Berbick at 20, ed). He was one of my heroes and a friend. I respected him very much. We will miss him very much.”
