Tyson needed money and got people excited at the chance of beating up Paul. Him and Paul seem both happy about the fight. It was entertaining to me, but apparently other people had different thoughts on what a 58 year old man can do in the ring. It went exactly the way, I heard many people assumed. Tyson came out hard and got some good hits, but after round 2 he was spent. Paul probably could have KO'd him in the later rounds, but he seemed to let up after he stumbled Tyson with some jabs.
I don't think it was staged or whatever. They are both entertainers that entertained me for the evening. The woman's fight was a better fight, imo. I don't agree with the results of that one though. Still I found it entertaining, which is the point, right?
Do you have a source for such a wild cutting edge position?
