Yes, he knew he couldn't beat him and was not confident nor mentally tough enough to get the job done! Tyson would never ever break his pre-fight stare, but he did in his second fight with Holyfield during the referee's instruction. At that point Referee Mills Lane was quoted as saying he knew "Tyson was done".
From the headbutts, most definately. But he came with a plan to deal with it. Unfortunately the white man stopped the fight cuz he was able to dirty fight them right back with the ear bite. It really did scare their Holyfield to keep his headbutts away form Mike's face. But Mike is a B anyways.
More frustrated than intimidated.
Don't think so. Tyson's never intimidated by anyone. He intimidates everyone.
During the stare down before the rematch, Tyson looked scared of Holyfield. Evander looked right through him. Tyson looked at the floor, the crowd, everything in the arena but Holyfield.
