Recently, with the performance of former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson and little bully Roy Jones, too many veteran boxing legends are eager to make a comeback, at least eager to try. For example, Hollyfield, Douglas, Bridges and others. Then of course Tyson is the number one superstar, and any boxer is eager to play an exhibition match with Tyson. In addition to Hollyfield's three-game battle against Tyson, there is also another person with the highest voice is Douglas. The first American strong man to break the myth of Tyson's undefeated, he couldn't resist and wanted to beat Tyson again and let Tyson sign him quickly.
Could Tyson be a soft persimmon?
There is no doubt that Tyson and Jones' 8-legged exhibition match did create more than 1 million PPV purchases, exceeding the level of most important boxing tournaments in today's world boxing world. It has to be said that Tyson's influence is still unmatched. What about Douglas, it's obvious that he wants a piece of the pie and rubs the heat. Let's see how Douglas called Tyson.
Douglas said in an interview: "Of course, I love getting the chance to play Tyson again. I've been a professional boxer for years and still feel good today, I always feel like I can keep fighting. ”
Asked why they never had a second fight, Douglas added: "I've been asked more than once about this topic, why haven't we played another one? I think I should ask Tyson. This is often mentioned. That's it, I want to fight. ”
Douglas concluded: "My team is trying to make this fight happen, we don't need excuses, and we hope Tyson doesn't make excuses either." I would beat up Tyson again. His battle with me will be a global event, and anyone who wants to see a fight between us. There is absolutely no reason why we should not let it happen. Stop making excuses. I'm eager to hit you again. ”
Did Douglas treat Tyson like a soft persimmon? So good bullying? Tyson's current state is really not necessarily comparable to Douglas.
Douglas is 60 years old, 6 years older than Tyson, he is 1 meter 92 tall, arm span 2 meters 11, much better than Tyson's physical condition. His professional record is 37 wins, 6 losses, 1 draw, 24 KO opponents, and in February 1990, he brutally KO Tyson in 10 rounds, breaking the biggest underdog in boxing history. Of course, Tyson also knocked down Douglas once in the 8th round, and if the referee had not extended the reading time, the result of the game should have been judged to be Tyson's 8-turn KO victory.
There is no doubt that the match between Tyson and Douglas is controversial, at least in terms of reading seconds. Of course, the most fundamental reason is that Tyson indulged himself before the game and underestimated Douglas. Objectively speaking, Douglas's true strength is not as good as Tyson's. After KO Tyson, his first defending title was KO by Hollyfield for 3 rounds, after which he collapsed. Douglas is a 2-pronged commodity at best, and he and Tyson are not matched.
Now Douglas stood up and called Tyson, obviously just to rub the heat and make some money to spend. Of course, Tyson's chances of choosing him are not small, but the first choice may still be Hollyfield. After all, the battle between Tyson and Old Huo is the most remarkable.
Do you think Tyson will play against Douglas? Or do you think Hollyfield will be ahead of the curve? Welcome to leave a message, forward and follow. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
