Joe Rogan Hypes Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr.

Speaking of fighting, speaking of old dudes fighting, Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. this weekend. What do you think of that? Oh, interesting. Crazy, right? Yeah, I think it's not too crazy to me, you know, because I know deaf fighters and, you know, they... A fighter is... As long as a fighter knows that people want to watch, they'll get in the ring if the money is right. Yeah. But Roy fought as recently as two years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but that's still... It's still a ring rust. Yeah. Not as much as Tyson. Right. It's still a ring rust. And so... It's going to be interesting, man, because both guys are like, not just champions, but they are Hall of Fame champions. Most people that I've heard talks say Roy is going to get ran through. I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen. I think it's going to bore down to which one of them are more prepared. Yeah. That's what I think is going to happen. It's going to come down to who's more prepared. Well, they are. They definitely have different sizes. You know, Roy's... He's a legend. They're both legends. But Roy champion at 168 pounds champion 175 beat Ruiz at... He was about 200 when he won the heavyweight title, but he was never really like a big guy. He's not a natural heavyweight. Tyson's a tank. Right. Physically is a different person. And I don't like that they're switching it to two-minute rounds. That drives me crazy. But how many rounds is it? Eight two-minute rounds. Well, that just means more action. Yeah, it does. But a guy like Roy, and one of the things that Roy said is that he wants to drag Tyson out. Like he's like, if Tyson's going to beat me, he's going to beat me quick. He's like, I want this fight to go. He goes, I want to get him tired. And he goes, and I have much more of a chance to get him tired if he's fighting three-minute rounds. He's like, we're grown men. And I guess the WBC was pointing to Julio Cesar Chavez, I think had a boxing exhibition recently. I think it was Chavez. It was some legend that was retired that had a boxing exhibition recently, and it was real tired. And their thought was, you know what, instead of letting them get this tired, let's make them just fight shorter rounds. But Roy's like, well, this is like what women fight. The women fight two-minute rounds. So it got, shit got sexual. It's our sexist. You know, but he didn't, I don't think Tyson wanted two-minute rounds either. Yeah, it would have been nice. What's up, Jim? Rules, have you seen the rules for the fight? Well, there's no judges and there's no, no decision. Celebrity judges. What kind of celebrities? They haven't announced that yet. Oh, Jesus. And there's no winner going to be announced. Well, there's going to be a winner if Mike Tyson connects on Roy's face or if Roy connects on Mike Tyson's face and knocks him out. Any cut, any cut. Bad, bad cut, it says, but... The fuck out of here with that. It should be a boxing match. These are legends. They both get a belt when it's over. Oh, no, no, we can't have participation trophies. But what happens if someone gets knocked out? There's no winner. What if Tyson, listen, if, if Tyson knocks him out, he wins. If Roy knocks Tyson out, he wins. This is, this is nonsense. These guys, listen, I think to get it sanctioned in California, they had agreed to some stupid shit. I guarantee you when that, ding, when that bell goes off, that is going to be a fucking fight. Mike Tyson is not fighting any exhibitions. He's going to come bobbing and weaving, swinging death with each hand. And Roy Jones Jr. is going to be moving and throwing that nasty left hook and that the best man win. But that is going to be a fight. I cannot imagine those two legends are just going to move around. Like if you watch Roy Jones Jr. hit the pad, have you seen him hit the pads lately? He looks fucking fantastic. He's fast as shit. His hands look amazing. Mike looks amazing. I mean, both of them look like they're taking this very seriously. I can't imagine a world where someone doesn't connect and some crazy shit doesn't happen. Yeah. This is one of those things, man. I got to see it. Yes, that's what I'm saying. I got to see this man. Well, you were going to go, right? Yeah, yeah, I was going to go. I was going to go too. Then, you know, they said it won't be any, yeah, yeah. I was going to go down there for the way in and everything. Well, here's something crazy. The distance that we are apart from each other on this table, I was going to make it closer because this new studio is a little more compact. But I had Mike in at the last podcast. Mike's been on twice. He was on once about 11 months ago. When he was on 11 months ago, he said he couldn't even work out. He goes, if I work out my ego get ignited and then I just want to destroy again. I want to be the Mike Tyson of oldies. I don't want to have nothing to do with that. That's my past. I'm done. Wow. Then he started. I think his wife called him fat and he started working out and he goes and started out with like 15 minutes in the treadmill. Next thing you know, I'm doing two hours. So he's doing two hours on the treadmill. He gets in tremendous shape and then someone says, you know, would you would you box? He's all I'm not I'm not boxing anybody and then they go what about for 30 million dollars? What 30 million and so he decides this today. I'm sure I say he lost almost a hundred pounds. That's incredible. Yeah, he was probably pushing 300 pounds at one point. Not when I saw him not 11 months ago. He wasn't probably overall. No, he was but 11 months ago. He was probably about like maybe 250 or something like that. So he definitely lost about 30 pounds. But so the distance between us is because he was so amped up. It was like a different human being. The first time we were smoking weed. He's relaxed. He's got Tyson ranch now. He's selling his own weed. By the way, strong as shit. His weed is like his punches. They're no fucking joke. So first first podcast we did we got barbecued. We had a great time. I'm like, holy shit. I'm getting high with Mike Tyson. Second podcast we did he was so intense and we were talking about like great Conquers and shit. He was talking about all these different things. And I'm like, I'm nervous in the room with him. Like he's so amped up like his forearms. You could see his whole body changed like he's he's like he's got golf balls under this this forearm muscle. He had just been training and you could tell he's he's like Mike Tyson of all his mindset whether or not he's physically capable of it. His mindset is like the Mike Tyson of old. It was legitimately nervous to be in the room with him because I was just like wow like he's he's ready. He's ready to go right now. And I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna make my table a little wider because if I was even closer to him than this because this is the exact distance of the old table. But the new table is like I'm gonna make it about like a foot closer. But if I was a foot closer to Mike like this, I'd probably be nervous. I'd be more nervous. No, it was Mike Tyson. He was so intense. I'm like in order for me to do my best job of communicating with people. If in case I'm across from some you know, like amped up killer like Mike Tyson, you know, you just naturally I mean, it's not like I think he's gonna hurt me but you didn't you get nervous. I mean he he and Jamie said it best after he left you were like that is a totally different person. You were nervous too. I know man. He's amped up.
