Tyson threw that fight. He took his 20 mil and walked. Shame really but you could see the guilt on his face when he was walking to the ring. He knew he was selling out his legacy, but after the shady stuff he's seen in boxing, why not be that guy for once.
Tyson could have finished that fight in round one or two. Paul was open and exposed many times and Tyson just never took the opportunity. Even when Paul threw a big hook, Tyson ducked it, bobbed to the side and jumped in under Paul's elbows, yet he didn't throw the punch. A CLASSIC Tyson move yet the combo never came, his gloves moved like he was about to, but he pulled them back in. Paul knew it too, he brought both his gloves to his ears and sprinted backward to avoid it. No use though because Tyson would have given him a left to the body to bring Paul's head forward and in that same moment caught him with the uppercut between the elbows that Tyson is FAMOUS for. There were numerous times where Tyson could have destroyed Paul yet he didn't.
Tyson has always bit his glove but NEVER that much. Boxing is a sport of who can last the longest with the least cognitive ability. After a couple of rounds and taking a few good punches it's all a daze. Training and muscle memory take over and it's a sport of almost involuntary reaction. Was Tyson slow on his feet, yes. Was he dazed pretty early, Yes. Would that have stopped him from being able to throw some brutal and powerful combos, Hell no. I personally believe he bit his glove to mentally remind himself to not unleash involuntarily like his decades of training had taught him to do.
Tyson threw the fight for the money, half of me is pissed, and half of me says good for him he earned it.
