I done a lot of boxing when young(55 now) and have gone and sparred with the kids off and on since then. Once you hit that first of 2 big declines in life in your mid 40s you are done being able to fight with kids except for fun. Even with a ton of experience the speed difference is just too much to overcome in boxing in my experience.

I think he could have. Looked like he probably carried him for the last half of the fight.

Looked like a poor mans version of the Larry Holmes / Muhammad Ali fight, where at a certain point Larry was practically begging the ref to stop the fight because he didn't want to hurt Ali, and he knew Ali wasn't going to willingly quit or go down easy, though in this case it was more Paul just taking his foot off the gas when he realized Tyson was just physically exhausted.

Holmes had a similar reaction when he fought Tex Cobb, but for different reasons.
