"Mike can still take a good shot. Sometimes the people who don't know , maybe they're just here for the excitement, they don't understand, they're taking every word literally, they expect it to be lived out on fight night, but you forget he's 58, you can see Mike's brain was telling him to do stuff but his body wasn't doing it.

"When the legs go, the distance between him and was like five miles, he's trying to close the distance, he did it early, he just can't keep it up." When asked if he felt Tyson was being carried, Ward admitted: "I don't want to say that… it kind of seemed like that at times.
