Parsons is rapidly becoming a clown
Ever box? Super heavy weight at the Academy because I was a football player. For their intramurals. Was 1-1-1...got out pointed.

First year players at A&I got about 40 into a boxing ring. Blind folded them and put a single boxing glove on then taped the other hand behind the back.

Last man standing won. Multi sport group to include basketball and football.

It was clear they were both holding back. There was 0 aggressiveness in that fight. Even when Jake staggered him and could have gone in for the kill he laid back. 100% PPV pillow fight.
Tyson announced that he almost died from his bleeding ulcer a few months back and lost 25 pounds in the hospital. If you looked closely Tyson was biting the thumb of his glove to keep it from dropping.

My guess is that Jake would have lost his shirt had the fight been cancelled and so Tyson found a way to just make it through at all. He was walking around like an old man about to fall and break his hip.

I don’t think it had to do with keeping the glove high. He has always had a habit of biting his gloves, especially post-prison Mike. It was more pronounced for the Roy Jones Jr fight. I can’t recall him doing that in his Iron Mike days though.

That was a crap fight. It was clear as day that Tyson was holding back.
No Tyson is just 58. The man lacked the stamina to do a full match 20 years ago. Do you really think he suddenly got more stamina 20 years later? It was obvious to anyone who knew Tyson’s weaknesses that if he didn’t end it in 2 rounds he had no chance except Paul was faster, younger, with better reach, and more endurance.

The first thing to go on a boxer are the legs. After the second round he was done. You could tell how he walked back to the corner. I give nothing to Paul though he was better than I expected but 27 year old legs kept him out of trouble. Every attempt Tyson made to spring Paul was already reacting.
