‘I was sad to see Mike Tyson in that state’, boxing legend: Surprising he didn’t fall to the mat
Former boxing champion, Mexican Juan Manuel Márquez, has commented on the return of boxing legend Mike Tyson to the ring, who was defeated by Jake Paul, in the match held on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
In an interview with ProBoxTV, Márquez expressed his disappointment that a boxing legend like Tyson is involved in a match with a YouTuber like Paul.
Márquez pointed out that during the match, Tyson had difficulty keeping the pace and in some cases could not coordinate his movements, not even having an effective attack. He admitted that it was surprising that Tyson was not knocked out by Paul, although he had spent 8 whole rounds in the ring. “It was remarkable that Tyson was not knocked out, but to see such a great figure in the sport in this condition, it made me very sad,” Márquez said.
The former boxing champion also expressed respect for what Tyson has given to boxing, but suggested that he should not return to the ring. “He should no longer think about returning to the ring, he should dedicate himself more as a trainer,” Márquez added.
