RE: Mike Tyson Vs Jake Paul Break Records
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
It's crazy that the fight was allowed. A nearly 60 year old man should not be allowed to fight a guy half his age.
Beyond that, while it may not have been fixed, Tyson also didn't appear to really be trying very hard and was just trying to go the distance to get his paycheck. Paul also seemed to trying to extend the fight rather than actually box. Some have suggested that he just didn't want to humiliate Tyson by knocking him out and that's why he didn't go for the big punches, but knowing Paul, it's hard to believe that extending the fight and making a show wouldn't have been primary in his mind.

I agree with allot of that.
I think it would have been a much different fight if Mike Tyson didn't get sick and the original date postponed. Tyson had a Knee brace on and stumbled on his way to the ring, I believe Tyson never fully recovered from his health scare that postponed the original fight date. I'm one of the ones that feel as Jake Paul pulled punches/played it safe in the later rounds. I believe Jake Paul realized the backlash he would get if he did indeed score a brutal KO. I also believe Jake Paul recognized he was easily ahead on the score cards so why risk getting KO'd himself. Tyson had the will but not legs to close the distance. At some point it did look like Mike Tyson was just trying to make it to the final bell instead of trying to win. Rumor has it Mike Tyson's had a tiered bout agreement for payscale: the more rounds he fought the higher his pay. And still undefeated: Father Time!
