Mike Tyson done

Father Time has caught up to Mike.


When he was in his prime, and walked into the ring with no robe, he was awesome. He looked like a bull. Anyone who had to fight him in those days had to think, "If I get in the ring with him, he is going to kill me."

He was done years ago. This was a stunt to milk money out of folks that wanted to see him put Paul in his place, just like the other fights.

That's why both of the Paul's do what they do. And Mike was a willing accomplice on this one who got a solid payday.

Folks were sold on a fantasy that was never going to be delivered on
20 million dollar payday for Tyson

A 27 year old fighting a 58 year old and no KO.

Let Jake Paul step into a cage with Jon Jones the little bitch will leave crying

Back in his prime, the only person that could beat Mike Tyson was Mike Tyson.
I guess we can add father time to the list now.
Will sure miss his "malicious intent".

Tyson was done in his previous fight when he tried to bite the ear off of his opponent.

This was a payday stunt.
Mike was always known for his powerful right uppercut and hook. For some reason in that fight, he only threw it once that I seen. I agree father time has caught up to mike but I don't know why that powerful right uppercut and hook wasn't thrown during the fight. Physically, except his knee, he appeared to be in good shape. I wonder if the stunt was really that bad and he intentionally held back from throwing that powerful right???

There's clips showing Mike cooking that right arm and not throwing it seemingly holding back. Also compelling evidence of Mike pulling his punches. This was all a show. For money. That's it
Mike is not what he used to be. I think this fight was staged for him to lose. Paul still did nothing to Tyson and did not phase him. All the betting was favoring Tyson. If he threw the fight he may have doubled his winnings! This was all about cash sadly....

Numerous states disallowed wagering on the fight as the fight did not follow the accepted standard rules.

Unified Rules as set by the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports, which call for three-minute rounds and 10-ounce gloves.

Not 8 two minute rounds and 14oz gloves
