Mike Tyson and Jake Paul had their first public staredown today and it seemed to be a light hearted atmosphere with both laughing.
Even though the first stare-down seemed to have been full of smiles, the fight day will be quite a different story!
Mike promised us the old Mike, that he’s taking this seriously and that he will finish Paul. But the old Mike wasn’t doing staredowns smiling, laughing and playing around. When Mike did a staredown it was a part of his game meant to intimidate you. He looked through you. That part of his game terrified opponents. And now he’s laughing and playing.
We obviously were never going to see a prime Mike Tyson, his prime was over 30 years ago. But I’m not even sure we’re getting a version of Mike on the same frame of mind of when he was the baddest man on the planet.
Who do you think wins?
