Mike Tyson is back! He will fight Roy Jones Jr. in an eight-round exhibition match on September 12th in California. Per ESPN’s Ariel Helwani:
“No fans in attendance, No headgear. Larger gloves, but they’re still working that out. Maybe 12 (ounces).”
A former heavyweight champion, Tyson worked his way into an incredible shape over recent months. He has been on the comeback trail for a while and looked fearsome in all of his training videos.
“The Baddest Man on the Planet” talked about his plans to fight again and his workouts in May:
“I do around two hours on cardio, I do the bike and I do the treadmill for an hour,” Tyson explained. “And then I do some light weights. I do around 300, 250 reps. And then I start my day with the boxing, and then I go in there and hit the mitts for 30 minutes, 25 minutes, trying to get into better condition.”

Most, if not all, of the professional sports leagues already have protocols in place for their respective seasons during a pandemic. The NBA and NHL will be doing a lock-in in a sports complex to minimize risk from travelling. The MLB restructured its divisions and will be reducing the number of games. Meanwhile, the NFL, who has a clean break as they are starting the season from the beginning, may not be as ready as everyone believes. And just days before training camps return, NFL players question the NFL safety plan proposed.
The restarting of all of the sports leagues across the world include 1 rule: there will be no fans watching games live. Everyone who wants to watch games will have to settle for watching it on tv, or streaming the games online. For owners, this means a huge loss of income, as they now have 0 ticket sales for the season.

Three years in a row the New Orleans Saints have entered the off-season with a sense of frustration and a question of What-If? First it was the Minneapolis Miracle that ended their season, then it was the uncalled DPI that saw a rule change, and finally this past January an overtime touchdown from Kirk Cousins to Kyle Rudolph with the home team never touching the ball in the extra period.
As we continue to look at each division heading into the 2020 season, next up is the AL West. Like several others, this division on the surface seems to have at least four teams who will all legitimately compete for a spot in the postseason. We’ll look at all five clubs, the notable players for each, and where they’ll land according to their over/under win totals.
