The leaked document highlights a dramatic narrative, ending with Paul registering victory against his rival. As per the document, the opening round showcases Tyson “flashing glimpses of his old form,” and landing a few solid jabs, while Paul maintains a distance and displays his 'superior mobility'. In round two, Tyson 'lands a thunderous left hook to Paul's body and draws a collective gasp from the crowd', followed by Paul getting prompted to 'pepper Tyson with long jabs'. By the third round, the viral 'script' highlights Paul's growing advantage, emphasising how he starts to dominate with his jabs.
