@Austin_CastleB: Absolute sh*t. Tyson was clearly in better shape, landed more punches, and was ready to fight 5 more rounds if he could have. He got robbed.

@iamsebjames: Mike Tyson was robbed… RJJ hugged him the whole time!

@tracysterling: Calling that fight a draw is the most 2020 thing ever. #tysonvsjones
