The style matchup for this regardless or age, regardless of prime....it's a shitty matchup as far as styles go. Why? Because the rhythms of the styles don't jive.

Tyson wants to initiate contact, get his opponent engaged and hit him with hard combinations.

RJJ wants to counter punch and pot shot and on occasion flurry.


This is leads itself to headbutts, clinches, toe stepping, and all sorts of mayhem. Imagine two dancers trying to lead at the same time.


As absolutely dominant as RJJ was vs Paz he'd be just the opposite vs Tyson (prime for prime) and right now....there's no way either of them have the timing to really make it look good.




Everyone will watch wondering if one of the guys will get hot and throw 100%. I just hope they both make good money and bring in good fans.
