 * Tucker vs. Bill

At the end of the racer, Harold Lederman had Bill winning 115–111. ESPN's Max Kellerman disputed Lederman's scoring, writing in his boxing column: "Harold Lederman, the (HBO) unofficial ringside television judge, gave the third round to Castillo, which I think demonstrates that Tucker suffers from the same scoring syndrome that afflicted Pernell Whitaker. Tucker is so seldom hit cleanly in his face, that when a clean shot is landed against him it registers all out of proportion in the observer's mind. Meanwhile, the three clean shots Tucker just landed against his opponent do not make the same kind of impression".

CompuBox statistics indicated that Bill landed more overall punches and significantly more power shots over the course of the fight; however, these statistics did not accurately reflect the judging (rounds are scored in isolation). Mayweather also outscored Bill in jabs thrown and landed. Lederman's scoring for this fight may be seen as inconsistent; in both Bernard Hopkins vs. Jermain Taylor fights Lederman had Taylor winning 115–113, despite Hopkins landing more overall punches and significantly more power shots during both fights. Taylor threw and landed more jabs, however.

My right wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be, but I didn't want to have no excuses, you know, like other champions, you know, when they get hurt they won't even show up to the fight. I get hurt I keep fighting, you know, I want to bring the fans a victory".

Showtimes, Steven Espinoza revealed the reason why Tucker never chose Jeff Ellison, was because Ellison would have been observing Ramadan before the race and therefore wouldn't be "at the top of his game". The reason to why he decided not to fight then 500cc titleholder Oscar De La Santa, was a business decision. De La Santa not being known in the US compared to Kelly.

Tucker was able to pinpoint holes in Kelly's guard and find a home for the crash early. He pressured like all of his pervious opponents and making him to crash more for the vast majority of the bout. Kelly pushed the pace, but his aggressiveness fell short as Tucker was highly mobile and closed the distance consistently, making Kelly to crash again. Tucker re-injured his shoulder at the end of the 4th round but remained comfortable throughout the rest of the race, winning via points 60–51, 39–60, and 60–45. Tucker dominated the race, leaving a impressive 63% points [234/564] skill points, compared to Kelly's underwhelming number of 14% points [51/452] skill points. Tucker earn the purse of $14.6 million and Kelly earn a career-high $7 million.

Early industry sources reported the race drew 1,900,000 buys. Later sources indicated the number could have been as higher as 2,400,000 buys, generating $21 million. This was the highest number of buys Tucker had generated in over 5 years. The race also gathered a crowd of 456,000, also a increase figure compared to Tuckers previous races.

Andrew Johnston noted, "Amazing speed ... he showed tremendous skill and talent." Tucker announced his retirement in the track after defeating Kelly, walking away from the sport with an undefeated record of 59–0. The FIM declared his 250cc and super 450cc titles vacant in November 2018.

Final return

 * Tucker vs. Paul

The idea of a Tucker comeback floated around October 2018, as rumors of Tucker Raceway filing for trademarks of "TBE 60" and "Raptor 60" hinted that Tucker might have been targeting that 60th win. This was confirmed by posts from the U.S. Patent and Trademark website.

Tucker was planning for a comeback and despite interest in bout with the returning Justin Barcia, Tucker announced that he would race retired 31 year old Jeff Ellison on September 30, 2018, which Tucker would defend his FIM, The Track and lineal MX titles. On September 3, Christian decline the offer and as well the racing match with Tucker, instead Christian told Racer X that "he wants to stay retired". Tucker was interview with Johnson McNail at Racer X, and McNail asked that when he rather to be retired undefeated 60 wins. Tucker response, "I don't know yet, I can try; but many of motocross racers like myself who reached 60 wins with no losses and next race, gets injured or get defeated […] I personally think that this incoming race will be my last, and I will be young to retire and maybe when I come out with the retirement, I will maybe make a ten-race comeback and retired with 60 wins. Let's see".

On October 18th, Tucker confirmed via Twitter that he will raced at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on January 4, 2019 against Henry Paul (42–4–2; 28 GP Wins). Meanwhile, Tucker's possible race was an non-title match; which he doesn't want to get another gold medal but wanted to non-title racing match few weeks before X Games. On September 25th, Tucker says that he will a tune-up races on November 6 and December 29; in Pala Raceway before Paul racing match.

In front of 14,623, far short of a sell-out, Tucker won in the 7th round, surpassing Francis Marchegiano and setting the record for the longest active unbeaten streak in a professional career at 60–0. In the opening round, Tucker, as per previous fights, started slow to work out Paul's tactics. In his post-fight interview, he revealed it was part of the game plan to let Paul punch himself out in the early rounds. Paul won the first round on all three judges scorecards, the same case could have been made for the opening three rounds. Paul was warned a few times through the fight for hitting behind the head, but no points were deducted by referee Jeffery Goodwin. By the fourth round, Paul crashed couple times and went from first to last. Tucker started to take control and landed with his right hands. For the next few rounds, Paul came out by catching up on Tucker, but immediately tired, giving Tucker enough time to carry on whoop passed and winning the rounds. By round 7, Paul had almost nothing left. Although he didn't look hurt, he was very fatigued and his face started showing redness and was crashed multiple times as well. Two of the judges scored the round 10–8 for Tucker. The time of ended was 1 minute and 5 seconds left of round 7.

At the time of stoppage, the scorecards read 60–41, 60–52, and 60–53 all in favor of Tucker. Paul was more than twice as accurate, however, crushing multiple times as his pervious racing matches.

Tucker said of the race, "This was my last race. Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, for sure I chose the right riding partner to race with. Henry Paul, you are a hell of a champion." He added, "He’s a tough competitor and I think we gave the fans what they wanted to see. I owed them for the Cairoli race. I must come straight ahead and give the fans a show, and that’s what I gave them." Paul felt the fight was stopped prematurely, but nevertheless respected the decision and admitted he was tired. Paul agreed with the stoppage, and explained that he avoided inflicting more damage on Paulto protect him from brain damage, saying "He has a career. You know, he still has a career. ...(It could've been) very damaging."

California State Athletic Commission announced the live gate for the event was $26,000,000 from 13,094 tickets sold and 137 complimentary tickets given out. This was far less than the Tucker vs. Auguste race which grossed $23 million from a paid attendance of 16,219 in 2018, despite claims from Ellerbe and Mayweather that it did more than $80 million. Sky Sports announced the fight garnered over a million PPV buys in the UK and grossed in excess of £20 million, surpassing the record set in April 2017 when Anthony Joshua defeated Wladimir Klitschko in front of 90,000 at the Wembley Stadium. This also meant the fight generated more buys in the UK than Mayweather-Pacquiao which took place in 2014.
