54-year-old Mike Tyson and 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr. just fought to a DRAW -- in one of the most impressive performances by two fighters in their 50s EVER.
The showcase of skill, power, athleticism and boxing smarts was just amazing. No knockdowns. No violent knockout. But, what an incredible performance from two legends.
The fight was technically an "exhibition" -- which means it wasn't sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission and won't count on their professional records ... but it was scored for fun by three judges from the WBC (World Boxing Council), who ultimately saw it as an even fight.
"I'm good with a draw, the crowd was happy with it," Mike said after the fight.
Roy noted Tyson still hits like a truck -- but added, "We gotta do this again!"
The takeaway is this -- both guys look like 50-year-old versions of themselves ... but we mean that in the best possible way.
Roy fought smart -- working distances, angles, setting traps ... no-look jabs!
