Unpopular opinion i guess but here we go. The event was scripted but not the fight. Mike's knee was hurt, he came into the fight bandaged and on some videos of him prefight you can see how slow and wobbly he is on his feet. He came in hot but after round two it seems like he hurt his knee. Round 3-8 Mike was basically standing his ground in peekaboo stance and had no real ability to enter the longer reach of Jake who didn't force an early decision and played it out respectfully while still having to be careful about Mike's hands. I personally enjoyed the event, we all have this question in some form at some point: "What if this old legend came back into the sport, would he/her be able to compete?". I didn't come to watch a carnage, i was curious, how far the legend could push himself at 58 and i got my answer, i was entertained.

Thanks for sharing. This gave me a new perspective on the match.

Excellent summary, but I think folks were sad because a bunch of us had tuned in hoping to see :

Apparently the match was also delayed due to some medical issue Tyson had recently where he was seen coughing up blood during a plane flight.

And I've heard that his knee was in a brace pre-fight.
