Mike's reactions and behaviour during the match made it evident that the event was scripted and he was never going to win. You can't think that a person who has been one of the greatest in the game will forget his moves and all his training that he did and can't even connect a good punch to knock the opponent out, even when he is getting so many opportunities. Jake isn't a great fighter, and you can see easily that if he fights someone who has quick reflexes, he will get beaten badly. This game was fixed to make him win. Otherwise, things would have been different in the ring, for sure.
We can't blame Mike for this, though; he probably needed some money and had no choice but to play along. As a fan, you would feel disappointed undoubtedly, but you will have to accept it at the end of the day. I hope he does well in life.
Yes we can't blame mike but to enjoy the show that happened. I was going to say fixed but I don't have any proof and it's not like they will confess about fixing the match. I am sure they will get a lot of money from it especially mike is one of the greatest fighter in boxing history. I definitely agree with you that it would have been different especially if mike was in his prime. Just like Pacquiao who is a bit older now that he is not the same as before but still packs a punch so mike would be the same even at his age.
