In the closing seconds Paul bowed to Tyson in a gesture of respect for the legendary fighter but the tribute did little to appease the restless crowd who had been expecting more fireworks. Judges scored the fight decisively in Paul’s favor with one tallying it 80-72 and the others 79-73

The fight started with promise as Tyson landed a couple of quick punches right after the opening bell but the aggression fizzled. Tyson seemed reluctant to engage throwing sporadic punches while waiting for Paul to close the distance.

The bout featured fewer and shorter rounds as well as heavier gloves designed to mitigate damage. These adjustments however did little to improve the spectacle leaving the crowd to compare it unfavorably to the co-main event between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano

This was Tyson's first sanctioned professional fight since 2005. His return to the ring was delayed after he was treated for a stomach ulcer in July. In contrast Paul began boxing just over four years ago and extended his record while facing questions about the fight's legitimacy

While the event generated considerable attention due to its novelty the lackluster performance underscored the difficulties of balancing nostalgia with genuine sporting competition.
