Suckin' on the old Jamaican stick every day can't have helped the geezer. Disappointing indeed.

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.

I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.

To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you ��

At the end of the day, no one wanted to see Tyson's possible last time in a ring be a KO by a Youtuber. Conversely, knocking out a 58 year old man by a 27 year old who is trying to endure himself to an older generation not familiar with him, is not going to ingratiate himself to that demographic. At the end of the day, Paul is marketer who happened to pick up boxing as a hobby.
Precisely spot on. Maybe someday another young boxer will give us the excitement that young Iron Mike did for a few years.

<<< Tyson vs Paul >>>

I'm with those who sat through the whole match as it froze repeatedly to where by the time it was finished I saw about half a round's worth all told. Streaming? My 93 year old grandfather's stream was better than that. lol

Nice Money Grab for Tyson. No way he was gonna win that fight and Paul could have fought harder. It was a staged event with poor internet speed and weak results.

Read MT wasn't allowed to throw uppercuts and if you saw his spars, this was definitely a casted joke!
