November 25, 20205 yr Anybody heard the crazy rules? Bigger gloves, no judges, no winner, each gets a trophy. And get this.... they will be spoken to before the bout and told not to knock each other out. 😁 What a joke. How will they enforce that? As soon as Tyson walks into the ring his adrenaline will be up and he'll go off like an atom bomb. No way will Tyson fight an exhibition match. Cant see the other guy doing it either.
November 25, 20205 yr Wow, everyone gets a participant trophy?

November 26, 20205 yr Larger shin pads, observers not referees, no scores kept, trophies for all the players, and before the match they are reminded not to push or shove the opponent(s). So, the Tyson vs. Jones rules are modeled after my local 8-9 year-old soccer league? How sweet.

Klaatu barada nickto.
November 26, 20205 yr Author 😀 If it goes to plan (which it won't) Its basically just two guys pretending to box to make a truck load of money. So essentially boxing fans being ripped off. A joke basically. But yes... my prediction is that Tyson's psycho mode will be back, fully engaged, and all rules will go out of the window.

But I dont think that was what Tyson and Jones originally had in mind. The "rules" have become more of a joke as time has passed. Its been suggested that they had to impose "only hit each other with a feather duster" rules to get the bout sanctioned in California. Still think once Tyson gets in the ring his old caveman instincts will take over. He was on the Rogan podcast recently, and one particular comment he made regarding a certain bodily response when he used to hit people was, err, let's say interesting.

November 29, 20205 yr Author The fight is on YouTube if anyone wants to watch it. It actually wasn't too bad for an exhibition bout. Tyson demonstrated that he can still throw those atom bomb body punches. I think with more conditioning he would be still very impresive. Jones looked fatigued. Supposedly a draw but I think if scored properly Tyson would have won all the rounds.
December 1, 20205 yr The advent of Little League Boxing! How nice! Noel Edited December 1, 20205 yr by birdguy The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
