It's entirely possible that the fight was fixed, but Paul's scheduled bouts do follow very predictable patterns, his opponents are always not boxers or haven't been fighting professionally for years.
I watched the Tyson/Paul match (on a pirate stream, because fucking giving money to the broadcasting networks for perpetuating this mockery of the sport) and my impression was that Tyson just got gassed in the second round and couldn't recover. He was in his late fifties, had not been actively training for serious fights, and had health problems leading up to the match itself. Meanwhile, Paul is in the prime of his youth and is wealthy enough to afford the best personal trainers and boxing coaches. He might not have much talent, but that barrier can be overcome with extreme amounts of effort and training.
It's hard to see your heroes fall to villains worthy of such scorn, I'll admit that much.
