I think the combination of weighted gloves, exhibition match and not in Tyson’s prime did this. The ambition is what makes people fight harder. Tyson got paid the moment he got in the ring. There was no incentive to knock Paul’s head off (as much as we would’ve loved to have seen it.)

Tyson was an animal during his prime because he was also trying for heavyweight champion or defending it.

Weighted gloves make the hits slower and don’t allow for hits as hard as there could have been.

Paul recently fought someone who is still in his prime, and what happened? The jaw break seen around the world.
