Tyson vs JAWS… nuff said!
OK this wasn’t a “Let’s Get Ready to Rumble”- level event (I think we owe Buffer $ now) but it was an interesting Man vs Nature, mano e sharko match-up.
Tyson didn’t “POW!” “BIFF!” “BAM!” the shark into submission, instead this was a new, gentle Iron Mike using a tactic called ‘tonic immobility’.
Tonic immobility is described by shark people as, a tactic used by scientists to keep research as safe as possible for both the shark and the researcher. It’s caused by stimulating the tiny sensory pores on a shark’s snout, bringing about a temporary state of inactivity.
Winner and Still Champion of the Seas – Iron Mike Tyson!
