Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. ends in a draw after entertaining eight-round exhibition

It was impossible to know what to expect when Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. stepped into the ring to do battle with both fighters over 50 years of age.

What resulted was a highly entertaining eight round exhibition that saw Tyson display his signature punching power and Jones Jr. doing his absolute best to avoid those shots with fast counters and quick footwork. While the bout was not officially scored, the WBC provided three celebrity judges — Christy Martin, Chad Dawson and Vinny Pazienza — who declared the bout a draw after eight rounds.

“I’m good with that,” Tyson said about the scoring.
