The Road to the Fight
If boxing, MMA fighting, or any other combat sport is your thing, you simply must not miss this fight. Actually, even if you’re a moderate sports fan, you need to watch this bout. No, scratch that, if you’re a human living on the planet Earth in 2020, you just have to be interested in what’s probably the biggest sporting event of the year.
To be frank, 2020 was not the best year in history. We’ve had the COVID-19 pandemic that’s claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world, destroying the economy along the way. The pandemic put the entire humankind in lockdown for months, causing all the major sports to go on a lengthy hiatus. That said, the world deserves such a spectacle as the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr fight!
And it’s not just about the entertainment. The bout is going to do good for charity, with Mike Tyson pledging his earnings (~$10 million estimated) to fight homelessness.
Speaking of money, Tyson had admitted to blowing his almost $400 million fortune on partying and luxury lifestyle, which also left him with a $20 million debt at one point. Still, he’s recovered since and his financial situation is, well, okay.
Although he’s not as rich as before, Iron Mike claims he doesn’t crave for money, saying “I’m happy I don’t have money anymore… Cause no one can take anything from me anymore.”
Mike Tyson’s Resurrection
Mike Tyson has undergone an extreme body transformation over the last couple of weeks. He looks like a real beast right now!
That wasn’t the case a few years ago, tho. According to the man himself, he was 90 lbs overweight at one point, when doing cocaine was his daily habit.
However, in 2020, he’s a different man. As per his own testimonies, he’s working-out real hard to prepare for the fight.
I do two hours on cardio, I do the bike and the treadmill for an hour, then I do some light weights, 300, 250 reps.
Obviously, such a workout regimen seems hardcore even for a boxer half his age. But, he seems to have the strength and motivation to carry on.
Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr Betting Picks
Of course, this just has to be an exciting fight. The two legendary boxers know how to punch – fast and hard.
Still, this is an exhibition fight and Tyson and Jones are buddies. They surely don’t want to hurt one another, especially because they’re both, well, grandads.
The main goal of each fighter is not going to the to knock-out the opponent but to try to take the fight to the distance. Another reason for this is that with KO, they’d put an end to a long-awaited fight too soon.
This is why our first Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr betting pick is “The Fight Will Go the Distance.”
