    Ortez was very impressive. Catriona's distant cousin is struggling here.

    I have a feeling Tyson will devour him in 20 seconds. He has never been this energised and he is incredibly confident. I believe Tyson Fury has undoubtedly inspired him. I like Tyson, I like his character. I think he's a genuine person. I wish him the best.

    Surely a guy out of competition 2 years is not gonna be devoured in 20 seconds by a guy out of competition 15 years!!

    That said it's not a real competition.

    This week has been like going back in time. I was born in 1980 and have spent a lot of spare time this week watching clips of Maradona. Now we got iron mike. Pretty much the two biggest sport stars in the late 80s when I was hitting 10 yrs of age and falling in love with both sports. Then in the 90s. Roy was like bruce lee to me. Just another planet. I wasn't sure how to take this event but it's been fun. Hopefully a decent scrap now.

    Just watched it, good performance and much better than I expected
    Jones running and holding was what saved him.
    I expected Tyson to get tired quickly but it was Jones that was first to gas out.
    I think the man interviewing them both at the end was a bit rude to Mike, he was all over Jones though

    Yeh just watched it there, Jones looked bolloxed by the 4th round but got a second win.

    Some of Tysons rabbit punches were savage, I was kind of flinching at times hoping he wouldn’t make any connections on the head as some
    Of them widow makers.

    Was kind of weird and fun at times but I’m not sure I’d want to see this frequently. On one hand it’s great seeing these boxers and remembering how awesome they were at their peak. But on the other, it feels wrong.

    See tbh. That was much, much better than I thought. I expected this to be fun for around a minute then we'd have two gassed 50 year olds staring at each other. But Tyson came to win and even though Roy was holding on for large spells of the fight he took a few big punches and survived, even landed a few flurries of his own.

    Genuinely seen a lot worse contests from men half their age. I think the two minute rounds really helped.

    Next year I would not be the least bit surprised to see Tyson v Holyfield III and Jones Jr v Anderson Silva in an exhibition.

    Finally, I don't care who does it, but Jake Paul needs knocked out badly, I don't care who does it. He's never fought in an actual fight vs someone who's actually trained and he's walking around like he's Tyson in 86.

    Even for what it was, a glorified friendly spar, I thought it was absolutely ****e. Both could well do with the money so fair play to them but jesus christ I'm embarrassed there's a market for this sort of thing.

    I don't mind these carnival fights but when there's no knockouts allowed and a cut ends the fight it's just taking the piss.

    Tyson would have finished it comfortably.

    Whatever about Tyson jones, the Robinson v jake Paul thing was embarrassing. And not because of paul either. Robinson looked like bambi on ice and could have got badly hurt and probably did. You can't just train for a couple of months and then box, anyone. If I went down to a gym today, I'm sure they wouldn't let me bang without headgear for quite some time.
    Anyway, as a boxing spectacle it was a circus, although the two real fights on the card were very good.
    As a bit of entertainment on a Saturday night it gave me a few laughs and nowadays, I'll take that.
