Several boxers and experts have been open in the media about the fact that they believe the shorter round times favor Tyson due to his age and endurance.
If Mike Tyson hits someone, I don't care if he's 90, he'll knock them out. He's "Iron Mike" Tyson, "the baddest man on the planet", says former multiple-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury to the MMA Hour program.
