      I’m not really a boxing guy, but I did watch that fight out of curiosity. I’m pretty sure Tyson threw the fight. They played it up enough to look like he was trying but the videos of him getting ready for the match were so different than what happened in the ring. I really believe it was fixed to allow Paul to win and that, if allowed to just be a real fight, Tyson would have annihilated Paul despite the age difference.

        He was managed by don king or whatever, whom did fix fights. So it tracks.
