▶ Mike Tyson.
Mike Tyson, 54, was still fast and robust. Tyson, who returned to the ring after 15 years, showed his success.
Tyson played a demo game against Roy Jones Jr. (51) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, USA on the 29th (Korean time).
Tyson is one of the greatest boxers of all time to serve as a world heavyweight champion. His career record was 50 wins and 6 losses in 58 matches (2 invalid). Of 50 wins, 44 were KO. Jones Jr., who faced Tyson, was a silver medalist at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and won fourth weight class during active duty.
The result was a draw, but Tyson led all rounds.
Tyson, who lost a whopping 45 kilograms to come back, stimulated nostalgia for old fans with his hard-to-believe movement and hitting speed in his 50s.
This match was played in 2 minutes and 8 rounds considering the ages of the two players. It was held without spectators in the wake of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
Unsurprisingly, Tyson was rushed from the start. At the beginning of the first round, Tyson showed a strategy of actively targeting the abdomen and face after beating Jones Jr.’s fists with a heavy punch.
Jones Jr., who couldn’t handle Tyson’s movements, faced him hitting and landing instead of head-on.
In the second round, he was hit once in the face, but the general mood shifted to Tyson’s dominance. However, Tyson also failed to produce a very threatening scene due to Jones Jr.’s passive management of trying to finish off if he was a little behind.
Tyson continued to beat Jones Jr. Tyson’s offense intensified when Jones Jr.’s stamina dropped noticeably in the seventh round. Tyson hit Jones Jr. with a punch before heading out to clinch.
Tyson’s punch didn’t stop even in the last round. Jones Jr. took an offensive stance as the distance widened, but when Tyson got closer, he shrugged and focused on defense. Tyson also seemed upset, but the situation didn’t change.
After the match, the two players showed a warm gaze to cheer each other on.
Tyson said in a field interview after the draw was declared: “I thought I had won, but I am happy to draw because it gave the fans joy.” “KO doesn’t mean anything. I’m happy to finish the eighth round,” said Tyson, who said, “I’ll be back in the future,” and promised to meet the fans again in the ring.
It is known that Tyson was guaranteed a ticket to the match of 10 million dollars (about 11 billion won). Jones Jr.’s collection fee was awarded up to $ 3 million (about 3.3 billion won).
