“I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them”

Mike Tyson

Simplified Meaning:

When someone says they don't try to scare their opponent before a fight, it means they believe actions speak louder than words. Instead of trying to make their opponent feel afraid with threats or tough talk, they believe in showing their strength during the actual fight. Think of a soccer player who doesn't brag about how good they are before a game, but instead lets their skills on the field show their abilities. The player scores goals and plays well, and that's what impresses and sometimes intimidates the other team. So, in daily life, it's more effective to prove yourself through your accomplishments rather than just talking about what you can do. For example, in your job, if you work hard and deliver great results, people will respect you for what you actually achieve, not what you say you will do.
