Mike Tyson Has 5-10 Seconds to Knock Out Roy Jones Jr. – Claims David Haye

Former world champions- Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr, are elites who have hailed from two different weight classes. The duo has always been acknowledged for their variant abilities.

‘Iron’ Mike is known for his viciousness and knockout power that has entertained the boxing world for almost two decades. Meanwhile, Roy Jones Jr. is hailed as a defensive master and one of the best athletes to enter the ring. Thus, boxing pundits often consider them to be an antidote for each other.

While both the veterans are finally locking horns in an ‘exhibition’ clash on November 28, David Haye has outlined a possible picture of the fight. The pugilist who retired in 2018 expects Tyson and Roy’s age to play a pivotal role in the fight.

As per ‘Haymaker’, Roy Jones Jr. will enjoy several advantages and Mike Tyson might only get a mere 5-10 seconds to floor his opponent. Haye connected with Seconds Out to discuss the fight and left many surprised with his claims.

‘Haymaker’ said, “Roy Jones for eight 2-minute rounds or whatever they are boxing. I think he would do that. Mike Tyson, I think can roll back the clock for 5-10 seconds, twice a round maybe. I don’t believe he is going to have many bursts. The first burst and how much rest he needs after is this. If he pins Jones against the corner, he has been hitting the pads like he is doing. I have seen some fantastic pad and bag work from Mike Tyson. But I have only seen it in 2-3 seconds bursts.”

Mike Tyson is still dangerous

David Haye believes Tyson will primarily emerge with action, putting all his force on Jones. However, if ‘Captain Hook’ deals with it, there can be a different outcome.

Speaking on it, Haye said, “I want to see what happens when Mike Tyson lets his hand go for 10 seconds. Pins Jones, gets the ropes. Roy Jones has got a very, very good defense, good eyes. He can see what’s coming and he should be able to see Mike Tyson’s shots coming because he is a lot older and slower.”

As we get closer to the fight, Tyson vs Jones continues to raise eyebrows about who will walk off with the win. It is all set to be a tremendous fight for both veterans. With a belt up for grabs, neither of them would want to lose.
