On a tangential note, the match totally looked fixed to me - Tyson was barely throwing any punches. I understand age is not on his side, but he looked plenty spry when he was ducking, weaving and dodging. It seemed to me he could have done better in terms of attacking as well.

I would argue Tyson has a shorter reach, Jake was whiffing a lot of superman punches, and all that does is waste energy. Jake might be able to throw punches, but he clearly wasn't interested in taking them. If they stood closer and slugged it out, the fight could have gone either way.
