    It’s worth watching IMO. My expectation was it was going to be a sham but it wasn’t. Iron Mike can still throw a devastating punch. Jones held his own though but did a lot of clenching. He had a few good flurries though and landed several.

    Are you saying that Mike Tyson got in the ring?

    Dont look like Mike was phased by any of it. Just kept stepping back in to throw his hammers.

    I think Mike realized early that he could really hurt Roy and didn't throw full power shots, at least not to the head. He worked his body pretty good though.

    I was really impressed with Mike. He's the baddest guy in his mid 50s on the planet, that's for sure.

    Imagine what kind of champion he could have been had he matured earlier.
