    Tyson looked good the first 2 rounds. By the 3rd he was drained, looked like an old man, legs failed him, he was bobblin around in there while Jake threw jabs from distance and landed more shots. Went to the judges.

      I didn’t watch the whole thing but Paul’s shots didn’t even seem like they had any power behind them. He won on points obviously because Tyson was drained but it felt like even old man Tyson could have just stood there and tanked those weak-ass punches.

      Disclaimer: all I know about boxing I learned from Rocky movies.

      That first punch that landed on Paul’s face made him stop dancing around like an idiot… but yeah after 2 rounds it became just a war of attrition, where Tyson’s knees (which apparently were in a brace outside of the fight itself) just couldn’t hold up and let him close the gap and deliver any of his admittedly still-fierce punches.
