Tyson had not fought since a series of exhibitions against Corey 'T-Rex' Sanders in 2006, while his last pro fight was in 2005, a sad loss to Kevin McBride<\/a>. On Sunday, he out-landed Jones 67-37 for total punches and 57-28 for power punches.<\/p>\n 'Iron Mike' presented in impressive condition and earned solid reviews, led by boxing legend George Foreman and UFC boss Dana White.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/GeorgeForeman\/status\/1332917928786845699?s=20<\/a>https:\/\/twitter.com\/GeorgeForeman\/status\/1332926134460309504?s=20<\/a> "I didn't want to say anything negative because I love Tyson and he's a good friend of mine," White told reporters.<\/p>\n "I was nervous. He's (54) years old. Time is undefeated. Time takes us all down and one of the things I was worried for Mike is that he has this incredible aura still, and (54) years old \u2013 fighting is young man's game.<\/p>\n "All that being said, he looked f—ing awesome tonight.<\/p>\n "I was blown away by how good he looked. One of the things I was worried about with Roy \u2013 Roy's 51 years old, but Roy's been way more active than Tyson has been. But Roy actually got way more tired tonight than Mike, which was shocking. I'm happy for him. I hope they both made a f—ing zillion dollars, and it exceeded my expectations."<\/p>\n White declared that "Tyson won the fight" despite the draw; a verdict most agreed with.<\/p>\n "He looked good," White said. "He's a grown ass man and he's going to do what he wants anyway, but good for him. It was actually a good fight. It was an entertaining fight to watch and I thought he looked really good. I'm happy for him."<\/p>\n The fight earned solid reviews from boxing pundits, even if guest commentator Snoop Dogg remarked: "This s–t is like two of my uncles fighting at the barbecue."<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/SIChrisMannix\/status\/1333059453827092486?s=20<\/a>https:\/\/twitter.com\/maxkellerman\/status\/1332917529132593152?s=20<\/a>https:\/\/twitter.com\/maxkellerman\/status\/1332918442693980162?s=20<\/a>https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeddyAtlasReal\/status\/1332926488937590785?s=20<\/a>https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeCoppinger\/status\/1332918959574638593?s=20<\/a>https:\/\/twitter.com\/arielhelwani\/status\/1332917145177612288?s=20<\/a>https:\/\/twitter.com\/arielhelwani\/status\/1332918484112711680?s=20<\/a><\/p>\n Writing for Yahoo Sports<\/em><\/a>, Kevin Iole said that Tyson and Jones Jr did not disgrace themselves and highlighted what boxing was currently missing: genuine megastars.<\/p>\n "They didn't look out of place. I have seen worse \u2014 much, much worse \u2014 fights from professionals at the peak of their games," Iole wrote.<\/p>\n "Tyson lacked the power he once had and Jones lacked the speed that made him so great, but they both have something that not a single pro boxer active today has: A name recognised around the world.<\/p>\n "These were recognisable names, as were the musical acts, and they combined to put on a show worthy of the $US49.99 asking price. Undoubtedly, the thievery of the signal was at a record pace, but the show was a hit."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
