If anyone here has tried intimidation in the ring before the fight, like eyeballing an opponent Tyson-style or something. If so, did it make a difference in boxing? Or did you just feel like a clown?

Man, Tyson was so cold🥶🥶🥶

I don’t fight in rings, so I can’t say. I’m sure in my younger days I’d try to swell up on a kid, say some icy shit, but honestly, in a street fight situation, that might just get you suckered, lmao. Big difference between facing off and mean mugging while a ref is standing between you talking about “I want a good clean fight... protect yourself at all times…” and trying to mad dog somebody in the street. That might scare some people, but other people will just bust you right in your shit while you’re just standing there with your fists by your hips.

Trying to envision a safer, regulated situation, and I mean…. I’d probably piss my pants if Tyson was looking at me like that, lmfao. Jamie Foxx had a great stand-up special about 20 years ago, “I Might Need Security”, and he was talking about seeing Tyson out at a club after he had made jokes about him…

That hard stare is them playing psychological games.

Once the fight start they won't be talking about such nonsense.
