Mike Tyson showed age has not robbed him of his power as the former heavyweight champion, in his long-awaited return to the ring, dominated Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition fight on Saturday in Los Angeles that was surprisingly ruled a draw.

While there were no ringside judges to score the eight-round contest between two of boxing’s all-time greats, both over 50, and no official winner, the World Boxing Council formed a set of judges that remotely scored the bout.

Tyson, 15 years removed from his ignominious defeat to Irishman Kevin McBride in the last professional fight of his career, came out firing and was in control of the bout the entire way.

Mike Tyson Roy Jones Jr. Not a tie. 1 won by 1 hit. Both heavyweights. No judges judged. Not official. During a pandemic? Stupidity Oh let’s spread more virus.... Roy Jones Jr. won by 1 hit Overall 🤨 Reminded of existence.

Later than night some more votes were found for Roy Jones. He’s the winner.

Tyson looks in shape. Remember, George Foreman regained his title when he was in his 40s.

Hats off to them.

They didnt even try to hit each other in the face

Just didn't see the fight as a draw. Tyson was definitely in shape and more active.

No ears were bitten during this fight. Luis Suarez was probably disappointed.

Post retirement, is not a fan of this fight.

Nice to see him back.

Jones deserved a break after what happened in Seoul.

Like his fake penis dominated drug tests.

The sanctioning body demanded that no winner would be chosen!

It wasn't surprising. They said all along it was unofficial celebrity judge scoring for this matchup because it was just an exhibition and no winner would be declared.

Setting up for a rematch!

It was a draw because it was an exhibition. Everyone who saw the fight knows MikeTyson won. But on the plus side, both apparently are donating large parts of their purses to charity and Iron Mike proved he can still do it.

i want to see Tyson vs. Mayweather next

This was pretty much a waste of time except for the Jake Paul KO.

Inside the ring Mike held back. Two shots. Could have finished Roy with that left uppercut. No fans? No blood tonight gentlemen.

$10 million to a thug who should have never been allowed near a boxing ring again. United States Boxing Association, Morals of an alley cat would sell their grandmother for the right price. Shame on everyone that paid to see an exhibition fight.

Two Greats back in the saddle again, what power force. 💪🥊💙

Mike Tyson wanted to fight, so Mike Tyson fought. Hopefully he got it out of his system and just sits back smoking blunts and chatting with people on his podcast.

It’s like I went to a hip hop concert and a pillow fight broke out

As always, you MSM clowns missed the point.

Great to see battle of the old guys. Plus Tyson has actually settled his ass down and become somewhat of a humanitarian. Never thought i'd see that day from the ear bitter.

anthonyfjoshua should pick one or two from Iron Mike Tyson

Nice marketing organisation... We all know that they havent got any power even for getting onto the ring. Nevertheless this industry needs to stay alive as well so..

Two uncles brawling at a bbq

Uhhh... Tyson won.

Fake news. Would like to know how many big bets there were on a draw.

It was an honor to see MikeTyson fight one last time, he should have been given the decision

He is a convicted rapist.

Boxing’s credibility continues to be shot

Hey stupid, if age hasn’t robbed Tyson of his power how come Jones survived?

Mike Tyson 👏🏻 I remembered the past of your style

Mike should have won that easily 👎🏻

Yeah you don’t ever want to get hit with/ a Tyson uppercut ...

That's cool

Iron Mike a changed man, god bless 🍺

I hope I get to see it sometime

A draw? I watched Iron Mike tattoo Roy Jones Jnr! Good grief, the man is 54 and and moves like 30! Easy 30M too in 16 minutes while doing it...

Roy Jones is the realest! I’m weak! 😂🤣

I really wish I would've gotten this. Sounded like a great event all around... good undercard fights, good concerts, just all around good entertainment.

Best boxer ever! And he is so humble. Great man.

Good for Mike he is still a champ.

Didn't see it but Twitter says Snoop Dog won 🙂

2020 🤦🏻

He is a legend. Best boxer ı have seen

I love hearing real talk

Never old to FIGHT!!

Two old men working it out.

magicyogi_ I can't believe I ACTUALLY guessed the outcome of this match! I never get anything right....it MUST be the 2020-itis...

Iron Mike! What a beast of a man and looking awesome for 54! FitOver50 💪🏽

Didn't see the fight..so.. Much like the false headline writers and media critics too pussy to say my name... I should say you both cheated, but I'm for real. Name's Doug Froelich.. I promote what I believe in. I'll leave it like this... Rematch?

Judges made a great call. Tyson dominated, but they both won if you ask me.

Still scary looking! IronMike

Draw? Cute.

Best wishes

Wrong headline, supposed to read. Jones saved by officials,

Mike won that easily. Those judges weren't real judges

We all know Tyson won

Bullshit. Jones got destroyed.

Nostalgic duo?

Can’t wait to Carl Lewis and Ben Johnson run it back

Tyson gon' beat this guy harddd 🤣

Did Jones come out of it with his ears intact?

Exibicionismo

Glad I didn’t pay for it!

horrible

Lol except for those who seent the fight

Iron Mike was robbed. But yeah, more money to come

Both of them are not upset. It was the silliest fight ever
