Its hard to tell from the video but it looks like he is just jabbing the guy. Even at his age now I am sure he is capable of throwing a damaging punch if he wanted to.
I agree. Mike is physically a lot bigger now too (he has a lot more weight on him). I do agree with most people that he was more “jabbing” the guy. That is a good way to describe it.
I still don’t believe in the violence, even with the taunting and throwing a water bottle (if that really happened). But I do think Mike could have done a lot more damage if he wanted to with those punches.
The one recording the incident was laughing while doing so in a way to encourage the stupid guy to keep picking on Tyson. The recording guy found this hilarious. After Mike snapped then the recording guy or someone calls Mike's name as in "come on don't do that". Prior to that moment, NO ONE called out the stupid guy to say "come on DON'T do that or STOP doing that". Instead, stupid guy's action only brought out the giggles from recording guy.
After the lite pummeling by Tyson, recording guy gets all serious and somber saying "got beat up trying to ask for an autograph. Man, I don't know what just happened". Oh, yes you know exactly what happened. You encouraged a person, who was acting stupid, by laughing and honoring him with the n-word while recording his foolishness. No he was NOT trying to ask for an autograph at that point. He was deliberately provoking Tyson for a response. After he suffered the consequences of his actions, both the recording guy and the stupid guy suddenly became sober and serious about the situation. Too late. I hope the case is thrown out of court or the stupid drunk guy is fined for being stupid.

Either this is a deliberate set up to sue or a case of people believing there’s no consequences.
