Paul gained momentum in the third round, landing some significant shots on Tyson and showing that age may have been catching up to the former heavyweight champion. The bout continued with Paul maintaining control, leading to a somewhat anticlimactic ending. Many spectators even left the venue before the official announcement of the winner.
