Opinions were divided over the show fight of Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) versus Roy Jones Jr. (66-9, 47 KOs) in the boxing world. Some people like the idea of such a confrontation, others are against it. Another boxing legend, Floyd Mayweather Jr., is eager to see such a fight.
Tyson and Jones Jr. will have to cross gloves on September 12th. The fight is scheduled for eight rounds. Gentlemen will wear at least 12 ounce gloves. If there is no knockout in the match, the winner will not be announced. And even if a stoppage does happen, the result of this meeting will not be included in the official records of its participants.
"It will be a really interesting fight, and I would like to see it myself," admitted Mayweather Jr., although he did not name his favorite. "I'm not saying that Tyson or Jones Jr. will win. However, I am sure it will be an interesting fight, and I will certainly be glad to see it myself."
