      No, it went full time and Tyson lost via decision. But it was just the fact that he was old. You could tell watching that if he were 10 years younger he’d have clobbered Paul.

      A lot of people (including me) were hoping for the clobbering, but alas…

        Yeah one thing older people lack is stamina. I figured if Tyson didn’t take him out quickly he wasn’t going to win.

        Yeah, Paul was bouncing around like an idiot. Tyson didn’t have his legs and kept fucking around with his mouthpiece.

        The whole fight looked like a kid who took a couple boxing lessons at the local fight gym challenged someone’s grandpa who used to fight.

          He wasn’t fucking with his mouthpiece. He said in the post-fight interview “I have a biting fixation.”

            Ahhh… that’s what one of the announcers was saying, but it totally looked like a mouthpiece adjustment to me, more than a biting something.

            Regardless, Iron Mike wasn’t himself.
