    Anyone watch the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. fight? I am not normally one for boxing, but that was too big to pass up and it didn't disappoint. Their post-fight joint interview afterwards was pretty great too. :P

      It was a good watch, and a reminder of just how bad a man Iron Mike was and still is! George Foreman thinks he could break his record for oldest heavyweight champ. I think a lot of stars would have to align for that to happen, but there's no disputing how great Tyson looked... and that was after having smoked weed before the fight!

        Yeah, as good as Tyson looked in this exhibition fight, I just can't see him beating a current HW champ. He doesn't seem remotely interested in even trying either, so it's kinda pointless to speculate anyways. And TBH, I don't blame him for not being interested, since he is probably enjoying life way too much right now to want that sort of pressure in his life again.

      I heard about it and kinda sorta planned to watch it, but ultimately forgot when it was and didn't hear about the result until the next day. Only funny thing I know about it was my mother-in-law, a tiny Englishwoman in her 70's, was invited to a watch party by neighbor as he was setting up a projector and screen in his back yard.

      She has never shown any interest in any sport and as a former nurse finds things like boxing and football barbaric. She, as expected and typical of her, politely declined.

        LOL, that's still pretty sweet of the neighbor to invite her though. :)
