I had to re-evaluate the fight after this tweet; I had no idea that he nearly died, lost 25 lbs, have to have 8 transfusions. Now I don't believe its a work, I think he is just not recovered. Or rather, it may still be a work but only to get through the fight because he wasn't ready to fight and may never will be. He just couldn't fight a real fight, by the time he could he would be nearly 60 and Jake got to do a face turn by taking it easy on him. Easy money for everyone; also explains why his legs were dead after round 1.
Yeah, at his age I don't think you can really come back to 100% after something like that. He still looked good, but it's obvious his stamina wasn't there. It makes it more impressive he went all the rounds, even if they were only 2 minutes.

Yeah it looks like the work was both of them holding back. Tyson the first 2 and Jake the rest.

Then again what can Tyson do if Jake is gonna run/hug until he’s out of juice.

Mike Perry vs Jake Paul is a good example of what 100% throttle looks like for people struggling to see it. Then you can watch the Diaz fight to see what Jake Paul at 15% looks like.

The contrast should be able to clue even the biggest idiot in.

Ya, Rosie Perez as one of the commentators? Whole thing was a clown show start to finish that accidentally had a great fight there in middle.
Call me crazy, but I didn't hate her commentary. I don't recall her saying anything blatantly stupid or interjecting obnoxiously, which is pretty much the bar I have for someone doing color. For being in her 60s, she looks pretty good too. Stream was shit for me on the undercard, but I had to switch to my phone for the main event when my kid woke up and it was surprisingly solid.
