Mike Tyson is back.
According to Kevin Lole of Yahoo Sports, the boxing legend will be coming out of retirement to fight Roy Jones Jr on Sept. 12.

I really don't know what to think. Two guys in their 50's fighting seems a little high risk

Then the undercard. Very odd

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Former NBA guard Nate Robinson and YouTube star Jake Paul will be fighting on the undercard.
 
Oh dear.


On Tuesday night in the normal boxing world, I forget the guy's name, but I remember he was Puerto Rican, was 13-0 with 13 first round knockouts. I thought surely he couldn't do that again. Boy was I wrong. Knocked the guy out one minute into the first round. I should really look his name up.

Tyson is 54 and hasn't fought in 15 years since Kevin McBride beat him in 6 rounds. Tyson-Jones Jr. exhibition match set for Sept. 12
 
Tonight‘s the night. Lomachenko versus Lopez. Who you got?

I have Lomachenko. My background is Ukrainian. Plus he’s the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Can’t wait!


And if you don’t know, this fight is free on ESPN At 10 Eastern
 
Did you know, Lomachenko started boxing when he was four. When he was seven his father pulled him out of boxing to take 4 years of traditional Ukrainian dance.

That’s why he has some of the best footwork in all of boxing.
 
Lopez at +500 for a TKO/KO/DQ is good value. He unarguably has more power and he knows that an early KO is likely his only chance in this fight so he will be going for it.

Yes, the longer the fight goes, the more it favours Loma.
Unsure if I should place a bet on a decision Going the distance for Loma, or knock out in the 10th.

I made a 3 to 1 bet with a friend on a Loma victory.
 
Is this fight actually a big deal in the boxing world? I can never tell what is marketing hype and what is worth staying up late for.

Loma's going to have to throw a punch now and again to get back into this. Lopez has taken the first 4 rounds.
 
Through eight, Lomanchenko showing more urgency and aggression but Lopez doesn't look overly fazed by it yet.
 
Lomachenko taking over the fight. Could be too little too late though. Should be a good finish.
 
Loma showing that heart of a champion in the back half of this fight
 
I think Loma is going to regret not pushing the pace earlier.

This is close but likely Lopez for me.

Wouldn’t be shocked if it’s a draw.
 
Huge 12th for Lopez after he had been fading for the last half of the fight.

Really close fight. I’m going with 7-5 for Lopez.
