There was no nuclear fist, but Tyson still earned $10 million.
The match was close to an "event." In order to reduce the impact, he used a heavier 12 ounce (340 grams) glove instead of a 10 ounce (283 grams) glove used in a heavyweight competition. Considering that they were both older than 50, the two minutes and eight rounds were held without scoring the assistant referee. The organizers declared a draw.
Tyson recorded 50 wins, two draws, and six losses (44KO) during his active career. In particular, he gained the nickname "nuclear fist" by boasting his overwhelming power to win 24 KO wins in the first round. For the first time since his retirement in 2005, he has lost as much as 45 kilograms and recorded 99.8 kilograms in the system. He looked so fit that he could see his abs.
But after the ball rang, I couldn't see Tyson's punch. Tyson approached aggressively by reducing the distance, but Jones was passive. Jones either clenched Tyson's fist in the side or pulled it in. There were also frequent scenes of her backing away. Tyson, who has slowed down his steps and fists compared to his active career, has not been able to cope effectively. Still, Tyson's slapping hooks after the ducking, which he avoids by bowing, reminded us of the past.
After the game, ESPN quoted data from "Computerboxes" as saying Tyson overwhelmed Jones 67-37 in terms of the number of valid punches. "Sometimes two minutes felt like three minutes," Tyson said, confessing that he was physically tired. "I'm glad I can play well. I want to play more," he said, expressing his willingness to play the next game. Jones expressed his intention to rematch.
