@@Mr.Gundam7 Yeah,Mike didn't have a regular family either,no male to really teach and guide him,but,he still was rich,sucessful,famous,had any woman he desired,lived in mansions,drove exspensive cars. I think Mike did alright for himself.
Even today, after some 35+ years later, it's actually so enjoyable to the level of goosebumps just watching Mike in action. He's truly a one of a kind, a legend.
You can tell Mike practiced that move at least a million times for it to be ingrained in his nervous system after all this time. The way he moves really is incredible. I still think he was the best in his prime.

@@aleksandar8090 You don't know much about Mike Tyson, so I'll educate you. Mike Tyson was in his "prime shape" while still with his trainer Kevin Rooney. After the death of Manager Jim Jacobs (Mar 1988) and his marriage to Robin Givens (Feb 1988) then firing Kevin Rooney he began to deteriorate. By (Feb 1989) when he fought Frank Bruno (36th Fight) the first time Mike Tyson said, "I'm surprised I beat him I was so out of shape but got the KO in the 5th." Once he left Kevin Rooney his skills deteriorated rapidly largely do to laziness and drug use (Mikes own admission) culminating in his loss to Buster Douglas (38th Fight) in (Feb 1990) that was billed as "Tyson is Back!" and it would be (April 1992) when he was incarcerated and served less than 3 years until (March 1995). He fought 4 bouts after Douglas including two with Donovan "Razor" Ruddock the second bout went 12 rounds and he won on points. Mike Tysons prime was passed before his incarceration and only because of his own bad decisions PERIOD. WE THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE SAW MIKE TYSON IN HIS PRIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to play it in slow motion to see the efficiency and scripted movements of his feet and body working together. While his feet are moving one way, his upper body is moving the opposite direction, so his body stays in equilibrium and he's not needing to transfer much force through his feet until after he winds up to throw the punch. I'm not sure if him or Cus D'Amato knew anything about Newton's Laws, but he sure is using every bit of it to his advantage.

When you do things and you dont stop, thats how you get. even just walking. you notice how you see some people in their 60s that try to do less as possible and then they wonder why they need a scooter or a cane, or cant last walking longer than a block even though they are not obese or smoke cigarettes? then other people the same age looking 10yrs younger. Use it or lose it. yes genes and medical handicaps. but if you compare oranges to another orange you will see this.
muscle memory , that's why many athletes are training more than 16 hours in a day sometimes , the brain and the muscle stores those movements as they became natural reflexes with the time and very useful during competitions !
@@ace0543 he's gone the distance in some of his earlier fights and he didn't slow down much. It's a testament to his training, conditioning, and mindset.
A room full of some of the best fighting minds of all time. No ego. No arrogance. Just learning, asking questions and implementing what you’ve just been taught. Says something about being a champion
And that's what used to make Mike the best was how eager he was to learn from and trust his mentors as a student of the sport. When he got away from that because Don King's camp did nothing but tell him he was invincible, and Robin Givens turned him into a depressed meat drone, he wasn't that guy anymore. It's great to see he's got it back again.
I know Tyson is a professional, but still… That trainer is one brave dude. The look of terror on his face after the first exchange says it all.. My man’s life flashed before his eyes at least 4 times.. Tyson makes even simple footwork look like an 8 course meal. Outstanding.
You are right. That trainer is a mma world reknown trainer that has trained some UFC legends. Joe Rogan was talking about him a few years ago. My point is IF HE has that look that you are talking about just imagine the look you or I would have.
Mike is automatic. Engrained in him from so many reps it just flows in a whole different way. His movement, speed and the force he comes with is just incredible.
for people who dont know gematria, put the names and texts off these guys into one. ill help you out. Tiger lords actual messege: And God spake on this wise That his seed should sojourn in a strange land and that they should bring them into bondage and entreat them evil four hundred years
"Right hand to the body!" at about 3:48. Mike's still got that killer instinct haha. Imagine being trained by him too - as soon as he starts saying "good job" you'll be feeling invincible.
0:24 " It has nothing to do with styles or size ... its all about the morale of the fighter. How important is it to you? Is it more important than breathing? Is it more important than eating? Its up to the individual how important this is. " - Mike Tyson
His defense in particular, bolstered by his power and speed, is what made him the champ. Most folks ain't real boxing fans and won't ever really appreciate just what an amazing thing Mike being champ (as a kid no less) at Heavyweight was. He's a tiny heavyweight that really made it happen because of pure hard work. Which probably wouldn't have been sustainable. Unfortunately didn't have good people around him after Cus passed away, which is a real shame. Would have been amazing to see how history would be different if he had. No prison, no excess in the real world, sticking to his roots of defensive/explosive fighting instead of the pure offensive "forced" power we got after prison (largely because of laziness and poor training). I still seriously believe that a prime Mike beats almost anyone at Heavyweight aside from a very certain type that may have given him issues. Older George Foreman, maybe Lennox Lewis, the Klitchkos in their prime, and Tyson Fury...which isn't a long list. Basically any tall and hard hitting HW, that also has a damn good chin and a strong jab to work off of. Definitely not Holyfield, who got the benefit of a post prison/post prime/ Tyson that he still fought fucking dirty. Shame Mike had to bite him, which while deserved, overshadowed the whole reason he bit him and the dirty fights Evander fought (both times).
@@joenobody5913 I am no boxing expert at all, but one thing that I've always noticed about Mike in particular was his defense, indeed. Not joking. I love the speed and power in a champion, but to me they're useless without a rock solid defense and he had it. So I guess he must have looked like an armored tank coming right at you lol scary stuff
It's the example of what the shorter fighter has an advantage. Larry Holmes can't hit what his hands physiology can't touch. As a smaller fighter, and someone who has done a lot of training with smaller fighters, you want to make the taller fighter feel physiologically uncomfortable by being outside of their natural range. And as for getting shorter... The natural mechanics of the taller fighter will see their natural punch mechanics sail right over your head... That's the point you learn from being shorter and training shorter fighters.
Mike Tyson has always gotten accolades for his power, his speed, but he has always been the total package. His strategy, his tactics, his footwork, his knowledge of opponents, his speed of thought... he's analyzing in real time and reaching instantly, almost as if he's not even processing it. Let's face it, Mike Tyson had never really been underrated, but at the same time he's so underrated, ya know what I mean?
The speed of Mike’s punches and footwork is outrageous. Even after watching a few times, I still can’t believe the speed at which he struck with those combinations. Amazing!

I love seeing Mike's technique getting some respect, he doesn't just punch really hard he used super clean technique that is not easy to learn. Now it's just second nature to him, he could turn that on and off like a switch now. what a legend!
@@powerbad696 Dude why? Mike Tyson is a boxer. He's one of the best strikers to every live. Even the best MMA guys can be taken out. Saw a Bad A MMA guy try to take a dude to the ground around a pool. Put the dude in his guard. Guy just picked him up a foot and slammed his head into the concrete. MMA guy was out cold. Point is every one of these disciplines is for very specific stuff. "what if a grappler takes you to the ground ???". Well he better do it someplace where the terrain can't hurt him. And he better make damn sure there's no friends around. And I'm not even bringing weapons into the conversation.
The fluidity and transitions are seamless for Mike Tyson. This is years of muscle memory. You'll never get that in just a few sessions this takes years of commitment.
Like he said , this was more important to him then food and sleep. I think 99.99 percent of people could not even put in the efford , let alone get the result.
Been boxing / learning the sport for over 15 years. Started for cardio reasons because I grew up racing motocross/supercross . I'm 35 now, very agile for my age, on trt and I can't come close to moving my hips/feet like he does . People have zero clue how special of a talent Mike actually is
He didn't need a full swing to put the power in the punch. But he also was good at opening someone up for that full punch and if it connected solid the fight was over.
I really appreciate who Mike has matured in to. He is a contributor to society and an asset to our social community. Thanks Mike for being that person who can improve from the past missteps and be an example for us on how to move forward in life.
Most of what he says is common sense, though. He's only put on a pedestal because of his career. I mean, just watch him trying to explain the Che and Mao tattoos. He's like Kanye West.
Very impressive, even if you don't know who he is and despite his age you immediately notice he's on another level just from the way he moves, so powerful and yet so agile and fast.
That man is nothing but fast twitch fiber in a heavy weight body. He's the living breathing specimen of what would be any ancient army's champion. Nothing but respect and admiration for that man for getting to where he is from where he came and everything in between. Wise men aren't born, they are made from a lifetime's lessons.
Lol ancient armys wish they had Mike Tyson. There was never any ancient champion that is even remotely on Tysons level (hand to hand wise of course, obviously not with weapons....probably a million peasant Mongolian farmers that could light him up with a bow for example). Champions were never really a thing anyway, that's not how militaries of yesterday worked, just like it ain't now. That's shit that comes from movies and stories, not actual history.
@@machinech183 Whats my mental fantasy? The FACT that "champions" of ancient armies didn't exist? Then by all means please enlighten me on some of these "champions"....how exactly did they become "champions"? What was their role? Did they fight other "champions"? Or am I mistaken and do you think these people (that didn't exist) actually match up with a modern day pro athlete...who not only had a century plus of knowledge, a team of some of the best trainers EVER, modern knowledge of little things like diet and training, but also one other thing...the fact that boxing was literally his ONLY job. Funny you claim I have a mix of mental fantasy and assumption, when your actually claiming there's mystical champions of ancient armies like fucking Achilles or Rambo. My "assumption" is actually just logic in disguise. Very few ancient soldiers were even full time soldiers, with really on Spartans being "full time" soldiers, and oddly enough not even a "champion" among them, with the few names that have made it to modern day being the commander/King, the same as every army. Lol, even large percentages of the Roman gladiators were largely fucking SLAVES OF THE LOSING ARMY. Sorry to burst your bubble on ancient history. Understandable to hold a mistaken belief like that, not so much to double down on your ignorance (and insult me for no reason) because you've watched Troy one too many times.
@@joenobody5913 If only your grasp of history were as on point as your butt hurt driven wall of text. Good luck with that and your next impromptu expose.
Mike is so skilled with his footwork. He makes it look so easy but it’s not. Years of training has embedded it into him to to it naturally with no effort. Absolute perfection
Mike is one of a kind once in a lifetime guy. He is so much more than just a boxer. He is wise tough rough has been rich beyond your wildest dreams and sat years in prison with nothing. Perspective that so few will ever have.
Mike perfect that peek a boo style. He was made for that. His lateral movement and being able to drop his level while going forward and to the side is like nothing I ever seen before. Insane footwork and ability to through speed and power combos. Mind blown.
I do Muay Thai and Bjj training and I can’t help but in awe how Mike moves so effortlessly with his footwork and still have speed and power to his punches
0:58 look how Mike mentally goes somewhere when he puts the gloves on. It’s like he has to warn the beast in him that this is just a tutorial. Awesome.
I bet he could still beat a teenage girl into a bloody pulp AND rape her simultaneously like he used to back in his 20s. Real men worship guys like him. 😆 🤣 😂
I thought the same, Jesus effing, this dude hulking in his 20s, most of his opponents lost just by looking at him across the ring, his presence was enough.
When I was a a teen watching Iron Mike in his prime, I thought his KO’s came from just his sheer speed, aggression and punching power-in later years I began to realize how technical Iron Mike’s style is. All those countless reps, drills and moves from his days with D’Amato are so ingrained in Mikes muscle memory he can call upon it at a moments notice-complete mastery of the D’Amato style-it’s a thing of beauty.
I saw that clip-even at that advanced age D’Amato could move-I remember this was before Ali fought Frazier and when Cus tagged Ali -Ali quipped-‘yeah but Joe ain’t THAT good!’ Referring to D’Amato’s movement
I was saying this to myself…the way he moves and reacts so quick and effortlessly, you can tell his body is just naturally trained to move how it does now. I don’t think he even thinks about it much anymore his body just automatically responds and acts

My buddy actually ran into Tyson a few years ago in Vegas and he said he's Sooooo F'N intimidating but a straight up cool down to earth guy once you greet him.
Mike is a genius period. Brings tears of joy to my eyes that he is now healthy of body, soul, and mind. He is out there spreading the knowledge and the love.

Willingness to ask questions and look dumb for future benefit is what eventually makes a master. I myself have to get more accustomed to that. I often feel embarrassed for struggling with a concept.
I’m so glad I got to experience Tyson in his prime. I can’t speak on events before him but I haven’t experienced anything more hyped than a Mike Tyson fight in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. Even the Superbowl doesn’t compare to the hype surrounding each fight
Mike's combinations were so short and explosive. Amazing how he used his height to his advantage. Really cool to see that he still got the moves and that he really cares when he is teaching. Awesome fighter, awesome sparring.
I can’t remember seeing a technical breakdown of Mike Tyson’s boxing. You really get to appreciate him in the same way as all the technical boxers out there when you realise he is not just brawn. Hats off to him. An amazing human being and a boxing legend
I honestly suggest that you at least check out The Modern Martial Artist UA-cam channel, he does some awesome breakdowns on not just Tyson but a whole bunch of other fighters 👍
It's annoying how people think tyson is just some tornado or senseless bull that comes to kill you. Part of the reason he was (and still is) so good is because he's a very smart and intense martial artist. Not just any swinging idiot can step into the ring and be a champion.
I will never , EVER get tired of watching Mike move so effortlessly and beautifully. To be a heavyweight , and move like that, right under my guard....damn I would have died from sheer fear right there.
Buster didn't die of fright when he put Tyson's light out !!! LOL. Douglas wasn't even a contender,he was a BUM !! Couldn't hold on the championship for a year. Tyson got knocked out by a BUM !!! And he's a RAPIST !!! Couldn't slip or dodge those rape charges,huh !!! He was beating his WIFE !!! What a fine,human being he was,NOT. Just another BULLY who hits women.
I bet he could still beat a teenage girl into a bloody pulp AND rape her simultaneously like he used to back in his 20s. Real men worship guys like him. 😆 🤣 😂
Can we imagine for a moment actually and really being taught boxing by Mike! What a moving experience that would be, probably literally, but the skill and speed of this legend is something we are blessed here to see these lucky guys doing just that! Well done Mike and thanks for all the fabulous fights we have seen you in over the years Sir!
As Iron Mike was putting on the gloves something hit me that this man’s hands has been registered since the 80’s. I can’t even believe this is free to watch. The man gives back. He could charge folks for this who wouldn’t pay top dollar for lessons from Iron Mike himself. This is absolutely amazing.
Mike at 55 and i still need to play it back in slow mo so i can actually see his moves. The guy never ages and still looks like a real power house. I love at 0:59 when he walks with head down waiting, reminds me of all those times he was waiting for the ref to count his opponent to 10!! Amazing guy!
Such a shame that he met don king and got into drugs, Mike could've held his titles for years, I can't think of a single heavyweight in the last 35 years who could've beaten the mike tyson who burst onto the heavyweight scene in 1986?
Anyone observing tremendous athletes who think something is instinct or "can't be taught" have no idea what it takes to be the best. Practice, and building routines in the neurons as well as skeletomuscular system is EVERYTHING. It has become second nature because of how he was taught and how he practiced. Yes, some people have an inclination, or catch on to thinks quicker; some have better genetics, but without practice, it will amount to nothing more than an amateur hero.
Alright alright what I meant is it takes a very special person to achieve this level of skill. You can't make just anyone a Mike Tyson. You need the drive talent and fighting instinct on top of physical predispositions. You have to have IT you can't make someone become talented Everyone can learn how to throw a punch I still box myself I would love to get a coaching sesh like that from the champ Mike is the goat!
I’d love to see Mike be a full time trainer. Dude knows so much, and has learned so much about boxing and life, that’s so invaluable for a young person.
Mike is a special athlete, you see how hard it is for Cejudo an olympic to grasp this footwork, you would have to train this from a child to be able to execute it in a real fight, you need to have talent to fight in this style
He is still so quick. I think that's the key to his power. He got clean shots due to being quicker than most of his opponents. That and his killer instinct, of course. No hesitation or doubt, just single-minded purpose.
At this particular age he can beat almost 90% people of half of his age without getting much hurt...... truly at the peak of his career he was insane like a mad machine
@@afrimidrizoski2712 he was in his prime up until anytime he fought after the 2nd holyfield fight, problem was he left kevin rooney when he fought frank bruno which made his skills decline by a lot
@@21LAZgoo that douglas fight was such bullshit the referee waited forever to start the count when douglas went down in the 8th round and hte literally gave him like an extra 2 seconds after he was getting up
Now that Mike isn't fighting anymore and you can watch him show other fighters his technique makes you really appreciate and understand how much knowledge Cus had.
Mike just did it like it was nothing, and with such force. Its like watching a pro dancer effortlessly learn choreography right away. Takes so much hard work to get to that level. That's why he's one of the greats.
I love this for Mike. I hope he becomes a trainer. He knows so much, he's still got it, and it'd be great for the sport of boxing for him to pass down what he knows. I think he'll train several champions if he wants to.
Mikes movement is still top tier, the speed at which he closes the distance getting all up in his opponents face with heavy shots is insane. True legend.
Could not have said it better! What Ronaldinho was to football, Tyson is to boxing. Just a joy to watch, makes the most dofficult techniques look effortless
@@zz3690 you probably do not have enough information how many people he killed. He is the reason why I ran into the US in 2000. Thus I’m grateful to him from one side and want him prosecuted by Belarusians
Mike’s movements are still so fast and fluid that he’s himself not able to articulate the movements step-by-step. Muscle memory hardcoded by a genius hypnotist into a physical specimen for eternity! ❤
I remember watching Mike’s fights back in the eighties with a pint in hand with the lads in the boozer in my teens , those were amazing times , seeing him move like that all these years later is still fascinating to watch … he certainly is the champ , what a boxer 👊
It was nuts it was truly like the days of the Roman Colosseum in that Tyson's PPV events where more like who are they feeding him, and how long will the poor victim last.
This kid is being trained by a legend, what a bucket list to check-off for that kid! Mike has come so far in his spiritual journey, it’s so awesome to see him so down-to-earth now. Very admirable.
We have a lot of great teachers in the world but Mike is a walking, breathing lesson. He's not a teacher, he's an actual lesson come to life. Many blessings and as a 40 year old, I'm honored to watch him in his prime and grow to see him spread knowledge 👑🔥🥊
I never saw a fighter generate more power and speed with what looks like simple footwork but is insanely hard to do. So Happy to see Mike enjoying life at this stage in his life.
@@alexcontreras8247 I mean it we’re just talking power then George Forman and Joe Louis. It’s just Mike’s speed combined with power that’s hard to replicate.
@@kingbucketz182 George Foreman is probably the strongest boxer that ever lived but he was not nearly as coordinated as Tyson. Louis is very close. In my opinion Enrnie Shavers came closer to Mike. I would've paid to see that one for sure.
Watching Mike move is nothing less than absolutely exciting. The man still gets me pumped! We live in the same time as one of the greatest fighters/warriors to ever exist. In ancient times, Mike would've been an Emperor of a mighty kingdom.
unreal...every transition ends with a perfect endpoint position. So technical and strategic...he's a lot more than just powerful punches and aggressive fighting. It's like watching a precise machine work it's magic. WOW. and at....what?....50+ years old. Unreal. awesome!
Mikes foot work is still there. The professor of the sweet science. If power is the last thing to go, I cannot wait until November. Jake is going to get a college level boxing lesson from the Goat.
When I was younger watching Mike it just looked like heavy power. Now watching after a few years of Martial arts, its so clean. Strength can be gained fairly easily. Technique that clean requires a tremendous amount of talent and time/reps. No drugs, or supplements would ever give you that level of grace. I could work for 20 years and not come close. Respect
Actually I agree with everything you said . HOWEVER MIKE DID USE DRUGS ITS A FACT EVEN HE ADMITS IT . COCAINE HE ADMITTED. I SUSPECT OTHERS ALSO . BUT COCAINE GIVES YOU ALOT OF EXPLOSIVE POWER WHILE HIGH . HE TALKED ABOUT HIS FAKE PENIS HE BOUGHT SO WHEN DOING URINALYSIS TEST IN FRONT OF OFFICIALS HE CAN GIVE THEM A CLEAN URINE . FACTS .
Yes the trainer hones the skills of a fighter but everyone is different. Mike obviously has a natural ability to fight, if someone isnt a natural at fighting and you drill him harder than tyson it wont matter he wont become as good tyson and never will.

He fought 4 bouts after Douglas including two with Donovan "Razor" Ruddock the second bout went 12 rounds and he won on points.

When you do things and you dont stop, thats how you get. even just walking. you notice how you see some people in their 60s that try to do less as possible and then they wonder why they need a scooter or a cane, or cant last walking longer than a block even though they are not obese or smoke cigarettes? then other people the same age looking 10yrs younger. Use it or lose it. yes genes and medical handicaps. but if you compare oranges to another orange you will see this.
Blink and miss him.
I wouldn't mess with him if he were 80 lol
The amount of conditioning needed to fight the way Mike does is crazy. The fluidity of his movement is incredible.
muscle memory , that's why many athletes are training more than 16 hours in a day sometimes , the brain and the muscle stores those movements as they became natural reflexes with the time and very useful during competitions !
It’s has also been said the way Mike fought he wouldn’t last beyond 6 rounds. His style used a ton of energy.
@@ace0543 he's gone the distance in some of his earlier fights and he didn't slow down much. It's a testament to his training, conditioning, and mindset.
That's why he said to joe rogan he was in bed for a week.
@@offlinegamer6756 lmfao what athletes train 16hrs a day?
I could honestly watch mike do this all day. What a machine
🔥
Mike could be doing this at 75 and I still wouldn’t fight him. Mike will always be relevant. Legend.
Was just thinking the same thing. Dude will have the ability to take someone’s head off for his whole life
Make that 90
It wouldn't be a fight, it'd just be straight up murder when Mike step inside your guard and take your head off in 1 second.
I would fight him in a paintball competition, providing I can assemble my own team of course.
Just learn from the master, don’t try to even put your ego out there
I can't believe how fast he still is. That slip at 1.23 was unbelievably quick. Respect to him and any brave soul that met him in the ring.

rafael cordeiro is regarded as one of the best trainer in mma history
And that's what used to make Mike the best was how eager he was to learn from and trust his mentors as a student of the sport. When he got away from that because Don King's camp did nothing but tell him he was invincible, and Robin Givens turned him into a depressed meat drone, he wasn't that guy anymore. It's great to see he's got it back again.
When you see a world champ like Henry baffled by footwork...you know MT was, is on a completely different level...even today
🔥
I know Tyson is a professional, but still… That trainer is one brave dude. The look of terror on his face after the first exchange says it all.. My man’s life flashed before his eyes at least 4 times.. Tyson makes even simple footwork look like an 8 course meal. Outstanding.
You are right. That trainer is a mma world reknown trainer that has trained some UFC legends. Joe Rogan was talking about him a few years ago. My point is IF HE has that look that you are talking about just imagine the look you or I would have.
You can see how unprepared the trainer was for his moves. The level of skill difference is staggering.
he told mike he was going to have his glove up for the second punch and it never fucking happened!!!
He has trained with Mike Tyson for many years actually

This is the power of footwork right here. Mike has dynamite in his hands but it was his ability to move that made him a champ.
His defense in particular, bolstered by his power and speed, is what made him the champ. Most folks ain't real boxing fans and won't ever really appreciate just what an amazing thing Mike being champ (as a kid no less) at Heavyweight was. He's a tiny heavyweight that really made it happen because of pure hard work. Which probably wouldn't have been sustainable. Unfortunately didn't have good people around him after Cus passed away, which is a real shame. Would have been amazing to see how history would be different if he had. No prison, no excess in the real world, sticking to his roots of defensive/explosive fighting instead of the pure offensive "forced" power we got after prison (largely because of laziness and poor training).
I still seriously believe that a prime Mike beats almost anyone at Heavyweight aside from a very certain type that may have given him issues. Older George Foreman, maybe Lennox Lewis, the Klitchkos in their prime, and Tyson Fury...which isn't a long list. Basically any tall and hard hitting HW, that also has a damn good chin and a strong jab to work off of. Definitely not Holyfield, who got the benefit of a post prison/post prime/ Tyson that he still fought fucking dirty. Shame Mike had to bite him, which while deserved, overshadowed the whole reason he bit him and the dirty fights Evander fought (both times).
@@joenobody5913 I am no boxing expert at all, but one thing that I've always noticed about Mike in particular was his defense, indeed. Not joking. I love the speed and power in a champion, but to me they're useless without a rock solid defense and he had it. So I guess he must have looked like an armored tank coming right at you lol scary stuff
His power comes from his footwork and his legs...that's the point.
It was the savage dynamite
It's the example of what the shorter fighter has an advantage. Larry Holmes can't hit what his hands physiology can't touch. As a smaller fighter, and someone who has done a lot of training with smaller fighters, you want to make the taller fighter feel physiologically uncomfortable by being outside of their natural range. And as for getting shorter... The natural mechanics of the taller fighter will see their natural punch mechanics sail right over your head... That's the point you learn from being shorter and training shorter fighters.
it warms my heart to see Little Mac, Tyson and Doc put aside their differences.
Lol that's fucking hilarious hahaha
You're wrong for that one 💀
Nice!!!! Only late 80s and early 90s kids will truly understand this.
💀💀💀 savage for that one lol

Mike Tyson has always gotten accolades for his power, his speed, but he has always been the total package. His strategy, his tactics, his footwork, his knowledge of opponents, his speed of thought... he's analyzing in real time and reaching instantly, almost as if he's not even processing it.
Let's face it, Mike Tyson had never really been underrated, but at the same time he's so underrated, ya know what I mean?
The speed of Mike’s punches and footwork is outrageous. Even after watching a few times, I still can’t believe the speed at which he struck with those combinations. Amazing!
🔥
I went down to 25% speed just to enjoy it.

Irks me when people say he was just a slugger, that's the farthest thing from the truth. The man had superior technique.
Good god. Even at 50+ this guy is still an amazing athlete and a freaking monster. His footwork is so clean and he's still fast as hell.
🔥
The fluidity and transitions are seamless for Mike Tyson. This is years of muscle memory. You'll never get that in just a few sessions this takes years of commitment.
Like he said , this was more important to him then food and sleep. I think 99.99 percent of people could not even put in the efford , let alone get the result.
He Mastered boxing.
Been boxing / learning the sport for over 15 years. Started for cardio reasons because I grew up racing motocross/supercross . I'm 35 now, very agile for my age, on trt and I can't come close to moving my hips/feet like he does . People have zero clue how special of a talent Mike actually is
That is scary seeing how fast and solid Mike is when he moves - dude's still a machine!
It's impressive ... it's still very scary....a missile
during his prime he's lethal 🥊🥊🥊
He didn't need a full swing to put the power in the punch. But he also was good at opening someone up for that full punch and if it connected solid the fight was over.
@@TheIndianaGeoff yeah he prefered low and close up, never a long striker, he was more of a in your face kinda boxer.
even at 0.25 speed he was fast
I really appreciate who Mike has matured in to. He is a contributor to society and an asset to our social community. Thanks Mike for being that person who can improve from the past missteps and be an example for us on how to move forward in life.
That man has lived through a LOT. Good and bad.
Piss off with your negativity
missteps? bro was innocent. only thing Mike is guilty of is some Jack Frost on the nose.

Nothing but respect and admiration for that man for getting to where he is from where he came and everything in between. Wise men aren't born, they are made from a lifetime's lessons.
Lol ancient armys wish they had Mike Tyson. There was never any ancient champion that is even remotely on Tysons level (hand to hand wise of course, obviously not with weapons....probably a million peasant Mongolian farmers that could light him up with a bow for example). Champions were never really a thing anyway, that's not how militaries of yesterday worked, just like it ain't now. That's shit that comes from movies and stories, not actual history.

Then by all means please enlighten me on some of these "champions"....how exactly did they become "champions"? What was their role? Did they fight other "champions"?

Funny you claim I have a mix of mental fantasy and assumption, when your actually claiming there's mystical champions of ancient armies like fucking Achilles or Rambo. My "assumption" is actually just logic in disguise. Very few ancient soldiers were even full time soldiers, with really on Spartans being "full time" soldiers, and oddly enough not even a "champion" among them, with the few names that have made it to modern day being the commander/King, the same as every army. Lol, even large percentages of the Roman gladiators were largely fucking SLAVES OF THE LOSING ARMY.

He makes it look so easy that when he try’s to explain it, it’s really hard to.
Its involuntary at this point hes not even thinking about it
Exactly!!! and if you blink you miss his footwork.
Muscle memory is a funny concept with Mike tyson. It all comes from his intense training because he destroyed most opponents in the 1st round
Too bad it didn't work against hollyfield, or Lewis. I wanted him to win those fights because I just didn't like either boxer.
Mike is one of a kind once in a lifetime guy. He is so much more than just a boxer. He is wise tough rough has been rich beyond your wildest dreams and sat years in prison with nothing. Perspective that so few will ever have.

When I was a a teen watching Iron Mike in his prime, I thought his KO’s came from just his sheer speed, aggression and punching power-in later years I began to realize how technical Iron Mike’s style is. All those countless reps, drills and moves from his days with D’Amato are so ingrained in Mikes muscle memory he can call upon it at a moments notice-complete mastery of the D’Amato style-it’s a thing of beauty.

It's the definitely the foot work that's so hard to grasp, great stuff.
I saw that clip-even at that advanced age D’Amato could move-I remember this was before Ali fought Frazier and when Cus tagged Ali -Ali quipped-‘yeah but Joe ain’t THAT good!’ Referring to D’Amato’s movement
Yes it is. A man his age still able to compete at a champion levels is amazing. Iron Mike is still the man to me.
I was saying this to myself…the way he moves and reacts so quick and effortlessly, you can tell his body is just naturally trained to move how it does now. I don’t think he even thinks about it much anymore his body just automatically responds and acts

Willingness to ask questions and look dumb for future benefit is what eventually makes a master. I myself have to get more accustomed to that. I often feel embarrassed for struggling with a concept.
For real brother and Henry is a phenomenal wrestler man.
I’m so glad I got to experience Tyson in his prime. I can’t speak on events before him but I haven’t experienced anything more hyped than a Mike Tyson fight in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. Even the Superbowl doesn’t compare to the hype surrounding each fight

As soon as Mike puts on the gloves...he is back..straining ferocity and speed...What a privilege to see the great man again.
It's like that movie with jet li when they took the collar off him he went crazy. Mike puts the gloves on and it's the equivalent 😂
Mike's combinations were so short and explosive. Amazing how he used his height to his advantage. Really cool to see that he still got the moves and that he really cares when he is teaching. Awesome fighter, awesome sparring.

I honestly suggest that you at least check out The Modern Martial Artist UA-cam channel, he does some awesome breakdowns on not just Tyson but a whole bunch of other fighters 👍
It's annoying how people think tyson is just some tornado or senseless bull that comes to kill you. Part of the reason he was (and still is) so good is because he's a very smart and intense martial artist. Not just any swinging idiot can step into the ring and be a champion.

Love how Mike goes from loose to explosive in an instant. What a great opportunity to get coached by the best.
physically speaking, being loose actually helps with being explosive. it's hard to explode when you are tense.

He's not even breaking a sweat.

As Iron Mike was putting on the gloves something hit me that this man’s hands has been registered since the 80’s.

This is absolutely amazing.
Mike at 55 and i still need to play it back in slow mo so i can actually see his moves. The guy never ages and still looks like a real power house. I love at 0:59 when he walks with head down waiting, reminds me of all those times he was waiting for the ref to count his opponent to 10!! Amazing guy!
Right, he scared me and dude he was practicing against
Just played it in .25x speed, mike is still so fast.
Such a shame that he met don king and got into drugs, Mike could've held his titles for years, I can't think of a single heavyweight in the last 35 years who could've beaten the mike tyson who burst onto the heavyweight scene in 1986?
1:20 even at normal speed Mike looks like one of those superheroes who time warps lol

I never get tired of watching Mike. You can't learn that that's instinct. He's still incredibly fast and powerful for his age. He's in a great shape
You can learn it. He was taught too.
its actually all learned
You can learn it. It's just a matter of practicing and repeating it until it becomes a natural instict
Anyone observing tremendous athletes who think something is instinct or "can't be taught" have no idea what it takes to be the best. Practice, and building routines in the neurons as well as skeletomuscular system is EVERYTHING. It has become second nature because of how he was taught and how he practiced. Yes, some people have an inclination, or catch on to thinks quicker; some have better genetics, but without practice, it will amount to nothing more than an amateur hero.
Alright alright what I meant is it takes a very special person to achieve this level of skill. You can't make just anyone a Mike Tyson. You need the drive talent and fighting instinct on top of physical predispositions. You have to have IT you can't make someone become talented
Everyone can learn how to throw a punch
I still box myself I would love to get a coaching sesh like that from the champ
Mike is the goat!
I’d love to see Mike be a full time trainer. Dude knows so much, and has learned so much about boxing and life, that’s so invaluable for a young person.

Mike should train Deontay Wilder ! See if he can train him to fight TYSON Fury !
Mike is a special athlete, you see how hard it is for Cejudo an olympic to grasp this footwork, you would have to train this from a child to be able to execute it in a real fight, you need to have talent to fight in this style
He is still so quick. I think that's the key to his power. He got clean shots due to being quicker than most of his opponents. That and his killer instinct, of course. No hesitation or doubt, just single-minded purpose.
Mike has grown into the best example ever against all odds , inspirational 👊
Mad respect for Mike. He went through some rough waters when he was young. He pulled through and we get to see him teaching younglings his art
Tbf the dude he’s teaching was a 2 weight class world champ in UFC haha but your point still stands
Poetry in motion. Beautiful to watch. There’s only one Mike Tyson. What a legend
🔥
At this particular age he can beat almost 90% people of half of his age without getting much hurt...... truly at the peak of his career he was insane like a mad machine
Probably more like 99%. Bloke’s a beast
@@RojoBoxeador yes. The other 1% have to be young professional fighters
Tyson never reached his prime
@@afrimidrizoski2712 he was in his prime up until anytime he fought after the 2nd holyfield fight, problem was he left kevin rooney when he fought frank bruno which made his skills decline by a lot
@@21LAZgoo that douglas fight was such bullshit the referee waited forever to start the count when douglas went down in the 8th round and hte literally gave him like an extra 2 seconds after he was getting up
Damn what a luck to have an opportunity to have a training session with Mike. A true legend, huge respect
you dont know henry cejudo right?
@@tiger-hj2ke unfortunately no, I don’t
@@tiger-hj2ke is that the cork with the wetsuit? he is a little slow... and in boxing too
@@BajaSurf ccc double champion in ufc

This is beautiful how Mike moves man, such a quick and short explosive power.
Every time I see something with Mike Tyson in it, I'm astounded by his skill. The man is legendary!
🔥
Now that Mike isn't fighting anymore and you can watch him show other fighters his technique makes you really appreciate and understand how much knowledge Cus had.
That Peek-A-Boo Boxing style is still unmatched!
Gusto comado taught him
Yes! Astute comment!
This guys are Born , not made .
Mike just did it like it was nothing, and with such force. Its like watching a pro dancer effortlessly learn choreography right away. Takes so much hard work to get to that level. That's why he's one of the greats.
Even when demonstrating Mike only does everything with 100% intensity, love it
🤗🤙🏻
"We fight how we train"
Too bad he didn't have that 100% intensity when Buster put him on his can !!!! LOL. TKO,Mike !!!
@@powerbad696
Noone: “asks”
Mike Goldberg: it takes a lot of energy being a rockstar
@@GabeGettinRich Takes a lot of energy being locked up for RAPE too. LOL. I wonder did Iron Mike have a girlfriend in prison ???
What a privilege to get coaching tips from an absolute legend.....fast movement, head speed, hand speed, footwork, power....GOAT....Iron Mike
I love this for Mike. I hope he becomes a trainer. He knows so much, he's still got it, and it'd be great for the sport of boxing for him to pass down what he knows. I think he'll train several champions if he wants to.
🤗
Mikes movement is still top tier, the speed at which he closes the distance getting all up in his opponents face with heavy shots is insane. True legend.
Could not have said it better! What Ronaldinho was to football, Tyson is to boxing. Just a joy to watch, makes the most dofficult techniques look effortless
It’s insane the velocity Mike can still moves with at his age. Muscle memory is a real thing
I’ve been boxing in middle heavy weight since 2010 and still looking how fast Mike moves despite his age is very impressive!
Man muscle memory ain’t no joke
Makes ya wonder what wouod have really happened if the Jones fight wasnt an Exhibition.
Lukashenko is a fine president. You are lucky to have him!
@@zz3690 you probably do not have enough information how many people he killed. He is the reason why I ran into the US in 2000. Thus I’m grateful to him from one side and want him prosecuted by Belarusians
@@BelarusianAmericansOrg he is also your papa ❤️
Been watching Mike for a long time (back when stuffed-crust pizza first came out) and I’ve been enjoying both ever since.
🔥
Mike’s movements are still so fast and fluid that he’s himself not able to articulate the movements step-by-step. Muscle memory hardcoded by a genius hypnotist into a physical specimen for eternity! ❤
So much knowledge in that room. Mike Tyson , Cejudo, Rafael Cordeiro. Legends !
Proof how mesmerizing Mike still is in the gym, watching him work is the same as watching other people with different skills. Truly amazing.
The way Mike moves!! Absolute pleasure to watch.
🔥
I remember watching Mike’s fights back in the eighties with a pint in hand with the lads in the boozer in my teens , those were amazing times , seeing him move like that all these years later is still fascinating to watch … he certainly is the champ , what a boxer 👊
🔥
It was nuts it was truly like the days of the Roman Colosseum in that Tyson's PPV events where more like who are they feeding him, and how long will the poor victim last.
@StuMarston 🔥
He could finish an opponent before you finished your brew.
💯@@kjaze
Mike generates so much power with his legs. His leg power and leg speed are unmatched.
If I remember correctly, mike Tyson wears like a size 13/14 shoe
🤗🤙🏻
@@johnnyc0811ye un uü ya happy Birthday to 😢 ko
This kid is being trained by a legend, what a bucket list to check-off for that kid! Mike has come so far in his spiritual journey, it’s so awesome to see him so down-to-earth now. Very admirable.
@@bleachlicker1236 and yet still being schooled by Iron Mike, champion and all 🤣
@@bleachlicker1236 still a lucky kid
thats no kid! its henry! he's got a wife and everything! im trying to think of his last name.....henry cejudo.
@@audio3980 that kid would make you poo poo
@@jefflove1 he's a lucky kid
I’e watched this video five times in a row. I’d love to see more of Mike talking like this.
Great then! Head to our website and get the full video course! 🤗
@@DynamicStriking awesome!
@@michaelw6277 🤗
We have a lot of great teachers in the world but Mike is a walking, breathing lesson. He's not a teacher, he's an actual lesson come to life. Many blessings and as a 40 year old, I'm honored to watch him in his prime and grow to see him spread knowledge 👑🔥🥊
Truly a living legend, the terror of heavyweight division in his heyday. Mike at 55 is unreal.
He's still fast, Powerful and explosive !
I never saw a fighter generate more power and speed with what looks like simple footwork but is insanely hard to do.
So Happy to see Mike enjoying life at this stage in his life.
Then you haven’t watched a lot of fighters...
@@lotharschramm5000 name a fighter who you think hit harder
@@alexcontreras8247 I mean it we’re just talking power then George Forman and Joe Louis. It’s just Mike’s speed combined with power that’s hard to replicate.
@@kingbucketz182 George Foreman is probably the strongest boxer that ever lived but he was not nearly as coordinated as Tyson. Louis is very close. In my opinion Enrnie Shavers came closer to Mike.
I would've paid to see that one for sure.
@Alex Contreras arrr someone consulted google! MT not in the top 15
Watching Mike move is nothing less than absolutely exciting. The man still gets me pumped! We live in the same time as one of the greatest fighters/warriors to ever exist. In ancient times, Mike would've been an Emperor of a mighty kingdom.
🔥
The Power and Ferocity he emits in those 2 Seconds when he shows his movements is still frightening
Still a phenom with the footwork and speed at the age that he has. It is a honour to learn from him!
unreal...every transition ends with a perfect endpoint position. So technical and strategic...he's a lot more than just powerful punches and aggressive fighting. It's like watching a precise machine work it's magic. WOW. and at....what?....50+ years old. Unreal. awesome!
Mikes foot work is still there. The professor of the sweet science. If power is the last thing to go, I cannot wait until November. Jake is going to get a college level boxing lesson from the Goat.
🔥
When I was younger watching Mike it just looked like heavy power. Now watching after a few years of Martial arts, its so clean. Strength can be gained fairly easily. Technique that clean requires a tremendous amount of talent and time/reps. No drugs, or supplements would ever give you that level of grace. I could work for 20 years and not come close. Respect
Technique comes from the coach and Mike's been blessed to be trained by legendary Cus D'Amato
Actually I agree with everything you said . HOWEVER MIKE DID USE DRUGS ITS A FACT EVEN HE ADMITS IT . COCAINE HE ADMITTED. I SUSPECT OTHERS ALSO . BUT COCAINE GIVES YOU ALOT OF EXPLOSIVE POWER WHILE HIGH . HE TALKED ABOUT HIS FAKE PENIS HE BOUGHT SO WHEN DOING URINALYSIS TEST IN FRONT OF OFFICIALS HE CAN GIVE THEM A CLEAN URINE . FACTS .
Yes the trainer hones the skills of a fighter but everyone is different. Mike obviously has a natural ability to fight, if someone isnt a natural at fighting and you drill him harder than tyson it wont matter he wont become as good tyson and never will.
