I hate to say it, but there's gonna be a jury somewhere (the same type who'd defend Will Smith's slap as reasonable, probably) who will reward this moron for his stupid.
If only I could be that jury foreman....

Back in the day, mid-80s or so, I remember Mike getting into a scuffle with an amateur boxer who I think worked out at the same gym when they were kids. I asked my mom why Mike would need a bodyguard. She said people always come up and think they can take him and the bodyguards stop that from going any further. IIRC, they showed a picture of the guy after Mike hit him and it looked like he had been hit by a truck.

Anyone who's ever seen a Tyson upper cut should know better. I feel sorry for Mike. He's been surrounded by takers and exploiters for decades. I hear he's really a nice guy. Sure, he's made mistakes. If my mistakes were broadcast to the world I'd be mortified.

How one if not both were not taken off in cuffs, is kind of amazing, since people got lugged for not wearing masks and fighting with Karens. Whether guy was a jerk, still disrupting a commercial flight.

As for the other guy, he got off easy but likely learned a lesson.

All that, and I'd add how much I enjoy making Cuban sammitches on his grill.

This idiot throws a gotcha question at Tyson, his response and boy, he looks like he wants to beat the shit out of him.

At least he wasn't on the same plane as The Undertaker.
That would be fun to watch also.

I was going to ask the same question. All my life I've heard that professional prize fighters and martial artists were counseled to avoid physical encounters outside the ring because their hands were considered to be lethal weapons. Is that no longer true?
