I personally loved seeing Tyson back in the ring. I ain't trying to see him there with Wilder or Joshua. But Holyfield? Briggs? Hell yeah
You'll see by my comments I didn't dump on Tyson. Mostly on Roy. Post fight Tyson was jovial... said he was happy with a "draw." Paunchy Roy on the other hand said
"Hell no... I don't do draws. I thought I did enough boxing on the outside to edge it out."
If Tyson wants to more exhibitions, all the more power to him. He looked in better shape than Roy (being older than him)... and his effort was credible. Jones not so much.
If you're gonna do exhibitions... go ahead. Just don't try and dress it up like a real fight (with judges instructed to give out draws so as to not to hurt anyone's feelings). Call it what it is.
