Tyson's Arching Uppercuts & Leaping Hooks Explained - Technique Breakdown
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Iron Mike Tyson was one of the most powerful fighters to ever lace up gloves. Nearly every punch Tyson threw had the potential to knock out his competitors. What set Tyson apart from the common brawlers of his era was his commitment to technique and his vast knowledge of the fundamentals of boxing.
Tyson knew power mechanics so well, he could use risky, unorthodox methods against even skilled competitors. This resulted in Tyson developing two punches that were absolutely devastating to his opponents: his arching uppercut, and leaping left hook.

Tyson also had a wonderful jab. When Tyson lost his love for the sport he lost his technique and started to go for the 1 punch knockout forgetting it was his technique backed by his strength that enabled his knockout capabilities.
I agree. People forget that he was a damned fine boxer. It's kind of like some people forget that a young Barry Bonds was a GREAT hitter, so that when he got some age and mass, and equipment advanced a little that he was going to have lots of Home Runs. He'd have had a ton without PED. They remember Tyson for KOs and Bonds as a basher, but they were both very technically-skilled savants early in their careers.
Yep, absolutely 100℅ agree.
Absolutely. 85-88 a well trained and motivated Tyson was awesome. People forget the work ethic he had to take care of his body, to working on footwork, to sparring regularly to watching/studying film. Tyson on top of being built like a tank was also a master of the fundamentals. He himself forgot that the pre fight things are what allowed him to dominate the ring and sadly he stopped being a boxer (bobbing and slipping punches, using combos etc.) and became a one hit head hunter.
His boxing IQ was underrated too.
I wonder what if Tyson never takes drug and remains what he was in D'Amato & Rooney era. does his prime gonna last longer?
“Leaving them with narrowing choices that just got worse and worse”🤣 It all started with the poor decision to even get in the ring with him!
Lol, also an apt description of my major life decisions
Depends on the money
Lay down or more punishment
Lennox Lewis and holyfield say naw
EnslavedByGreed it’s all about the money. One beating for millions.
Continue with tyson and dempsey dude, would love to see you break down dempsey's entire book bit by bit.
This.
S.A dempsey was Tyson’s favorite fighter he fought just like hit him like dempsey uppercut
Agreed
S.A they have it on you tube
Agreed, I have the Dempsey, Joe Lewis and Joe Frazier books on boxing.
Your phrase "Tyson was an expert at taking away his competitor's options, and leaving them narrowing choices that just got worse and worse" is the perfect description of what he did, and it's also a really chilling statement. I feel blessed to have been a young man when Tyson was in his prime, and to have watched the most electrifying fighter of all time 'as it was happening', so to speak. He is the best that there ever was, or ever will be. And RIP Cus D'Amato - the man that we all have to thank for the blistering style and exhilarating career of Iron Mike.
Tyson was great but its silly to call him the GOAT. He never beat a great fighter in their prime.
What Holyfield figured out was if you get all up in mikes face and push him back on his heels, he can't get these big leaping combinations off.
@East West Holyfield was old and washed up too. Not half as fast and had lost all of his lateral quickness by the time he fought Tyson, and was coming off a terrible KO loss to Bowe. Its a wash.
The result of the fight had more to do with Holyfield backing Tyson up from the opening bell and never letting Tyson get room or leverage to get his combinations off. Tyson had to be on his toes lunging forward with his punches to do damage, Holyfield had him on his back heels and against the ropes the entire fight. He knew how Tyson fought and took away his power and leverage.
If you are a Tyson fan boy, you aren't going to admit to any of this and are just going to argue Tyson was old, when the fact is Holyfield was much older and had way more miles on him from savage ring wars.
@East West Prime Tyson never beat a great fighter in his prime. you give him far too much credit that he never earned in the ring.
I also think its really silly when people say Evander was a juice head. The guy has been retired for years and is well into his 50's and looks just as buffed as he did 35 years ago. Steriod users shrink massively when they get older and grow massive heads when they are in their primes. None of those things ever applied to Evander. And if you just watch his size progression throughout his entire career it just doesn't pass the smell test of the riod accusations.
I grew up in the riod era of the 1980's and 1990's. Holyfied never fit any of the signs of roid users.
Besides, Tyson was 3 inches shorter and outweigh Evander his entire career. Funny how Evander was the only one accused of roids.
The truth is Evander was in Tysons shadow most of his career and watched him very closley and figured out how to fight him. Much like Antoino Tarver did to Roy Jones back when Roy was still close to his prime. Every fighter has an opponent that figures them out and has their number.
Evander was just that for Tyson. And he was not intimidated by Tyson, and most guys were intimidated and lost to Tyson before the bell ever rang. Evander knew this and was not intimidated, and bullied the bully. bullies crumble when you turn the tables on them.
And Tyson was very one dimensional when you crowd him/back him on his heels and take away his ability to throw those leaping combinations. Most fighters backed away from Tyson and ran from him, making it easy for him to get off those leaping dynamite combinations he had.
No one ever stood their ground and backed him up until Holyfield did. If you lean on him and push him back, he can't get leverage.
@East West Holyfieds head was actually small for a heavyweight. That is something they actually measure in boxing. And there is a massive difference between steriod bulk and having very little body fat. Again just go back and look at Evenders cruiserweightt fights, he was ALWAYS ripped and still is even today at nearly 60 years old.\
The fact is the 2 best referees in the sport worked both Tysons fights, were in the ring and 5 feet from both fighters and never ONCE accursed Evender of an intentional head butt. I watched both fights dozens of times and never once saw an intentional head butt. I did see several accident head butt were both men lead with the head. Both guys lead with their head and came in low.
Head clashes are very common in boxing, and Tyson was one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen. Its totally hilarious seeing people cry that he was fouled.
Its a crybaby fantasy excuse. Bullies turn into crybabies when people turn the tables on them.
Very interesting, Mike Tyson's style was unique and ferocious :)
Zen Dragon that's funny I just subbed to you a week ago from that kunfu in mma video now I see you here
Absolutely!
What Holyfield figured out was if you get all up in mikes face and push him back on his heels, he can't get those big leaping combinations off.
Few other fighters used his style. Floyde Patterson for one
@@ExperienceEric that's exactly right!
0:21 that punch dried that nigga's head sweat lol
When he hit Michael Jack Johnson (I didn't see it on this video), after he put him down with a Liver shot, he hit him with an evil right hand that damn near took his head off. Ol buddy had a tight afro bc it barely shook, but I'm sure everyone is the front row got a greasy shower!

that nigga said "woah." Read his lips.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn i nearly choked on hot coffee reading your comment that's some funny shit😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
stay on Tyson for a bit longer please,it's only now we are appreciating his skills,way back in the day we all just thought about his raw power and ferocity but he is an incrediblly talented boxer,I'm working on some of his methods,wow try it, different and not as easy to master than you think but very effective,love your videos
Back in the day, some of us appreciated the defensive skills that Tyson acquired through training with Cus D'Amoto and Kevin Rooney. As well as how Tyson later seemed to forget all about such skills after D'Amoto died and after Tyson fired Rooney. (The Buster Douglas fight, anybody?)
@@bruceching4078 there is no question that with the death of D'Amato and then firing Rooney Tyson went downhill fast. Had D'Amato stayed alive and Rooney stayed his trainer I believe Tyson would have gone down as the greatest boxer that ever lived. But I'm also assuming he wouldn't have gone to prison for three years. Actually let's just add one more piece to the equation and say Robin Givens never entered his life. Giving all those circumstances I believe Tyson would have gone undefeated.
This is the smartest comment I've seen on UA-cam in quite some time. It should have more thumbs to up.
@@Jayc9582 and that wasn't all that happened mr. Tyson. Contrary to having his face plastered all over the media repeatedly his private life was kept pretty private.
I was amazed when they were able to keep the death of his daughter off the TV and out of the papers for as long as they did as well as they did.
And let's not forget good old Don King and all the vultures that circled around him like a rotting carcass in the Sun.
Mike Tyson is a human tragedy. He was the Achilles of the age, Without all the good luck.
Jay C somebody better always comes along
80's mike! hungry and disciplined mike! UNSTOPPABLE!
@Maafa 1619 Holyfield was a fucking cruiserweight back than. Dont talk shit.
Maafa 1619 who was headbutting
Maafa 1619 that time Holyfield was not even a fking heavyweight, he was nothing absolutely nothing against Mike. Mike would have crushed him really really bad.
2:45 - I'M SURPRISED HEAD IS STILL ON!
Bruh, that head jerked to his fist harder than I can to myself
We talk about legends when they are gone. Mike Tyson is a living legend then and now. 2020
And he's making a comeback!
The legendary strenght of Tyson's coming from his phenomenal technique.
Speed as well

W W pac clearly outlanded floyd what made floyd the winner is its floyd's home advantage and judges were payed
There's no such thing as home advantage in boxing lol. I'm a huge pac fan but the way I see it Floyd won the fight. I don't like it but that's the way it is. He just showed pac that boxing is not about KOs
Outstanding video! I'm a huge Tyson fan and always wondered the mechanics of his leaping hooks and how he was able to generate so much force. Thank you for enlightening on my favorite fighter and also giving me tips on my own boxing.
I mean Tyson was absolutely Brutal!!! Damn I miss them days...
The only other person I seen hit as hard as Mike was George foreman. Oh and Razor Ruddock.
Earnie shavers, Foreman and Sonny Liston hit harder than Mike. It was Tysons speed and body/head movement combined with his power that made him special
@@godfather53;
I was just thinking of
Ernie Shavers 😹
Sadly, as powerful as he was, he never won a World Title
That’s what happens when you punch that hard he got easily gassed
@Snowwy wilder fought nobody’s shavers fought champs like Ali and Norton and Holmes. That’s why fury beat the living shit out of wilder🤣you wilder fanboys know nothing bout boxing I stg
@@jrizo8849 right now is a complete shitshow for heavyweight boxing. Tyson fury wouldn't be able to stand up against the previous heavyweight champions imo. It's really sad to see how the current lack of talent has made people think Tsyon was overhyped
I've been watching a bunch of these "Technique Breakdown" videos, and I just wanted to say how awesome I think this series is. One more subscription!
I love seeing someone appreciate Tyson's technical mastery. Most fighters don't master one stance, Tyson moved fluently thru orthodoxed, open stance and southpaw, often even within a single combination. This allowed him to throw punches from angles fighter weren't used to and to be in positions where he could inflict harm while facing virtually no risk of being hit.
His angle back step he used to throw uppercuts in clinch situations is a perfect example, he repeatedly used this and created openings, his opponent would reach to try to tie up his arms and he wouldn't be where they expected and by the time they figured it out his fist was already finding their chin thru the space created by them trying to reach out to grab him. It wouldn't work without the subtle little angle back step, to either side, (making it even harder to defend) but his technique was excellent and he stayed a step ahead of bigger guys. They never saw that shot coming.
Tyson was originally trained by the late great Cus D'Amato, the shuffling lead hook would have been instilled in him from the beginning.
Marvelous brought me here. Incredible video. These are some of the best breakdowns available on the internets. Brilliant.
The difference between the gazelle punch and tysons lunging hook is that tyson would step forward with his rear foot while hooking instead of the lead foot. This changes your lead from left to right, putting you in an extremely dominant angle for the rear left cross, or the right hook if they go right. And the opponent likely never notices because they ate your hook in the process so they react as though your in an orthodox stance and lean or circle right into your left cross, or tyson case that devastating rear left uppercut.
What Holyfield figured out was if you get all up in mikes face and push him back on his heels, he can't get these big leaping combinations off.
@@ExperienceEric Holyfield figured out how to take steroids.
@@ExperienceEric this is not true. Watch the fight vs Reggie gross, Trevor berbeck and razor rudduck fight. They all fought back and it never needed well
@@Narration___Nation Right, most fighters were not remotely intimidated by Mike Tyson. That's totally legit.
@@jiakabery3550😂😂😂😂
80's Tyson was the most exciting sport Ive ever watched- and probably ever will
Tyson had frightening thunderous power in both hands and if that wasnt scary enough, his speed was unreal. With his hand speed he would have been dangerous if he only had half of the power that he possessed but with those two exaggerated attributes he became the legend he is today. There will never be another fighter with as many natural gifts as Tyson. Realizing this, Cus took this young phenomenal physical specimen and forged him into what is in my own personal opinion the greatest pugilist of all time. Thank you Mike Tyson for putting your mastercrafted skill set on display for the world to witness and enjoy because when someone is that good in their chosen profession, especially if their profession is a spectator sport, the entire planet appreciates that they were generous enough to share with the rest of us regular people what humans are capable of. Tyson's highlights never get old. The way he fought so ferocious and aggressive is the reason people love to watch him fight and is the reason why he can still draw an audience to this very day...
@0:30 - Can we just take a moment and appreciate his form. That uppercut looks so clean!
Really... It's just a thing of beauty
Yeah, I never get tired watching it
Please also do some more breakdowns of Vasyl Lomachenko, foot work, combinations, etc. Thank you
During the D'Amato Team era, every time a dude climbed into a ring with Tyson standing on the other end, time paused for a moment and a voice said "it was at this moment he knew he fucked up". Also, these breakdown videos are one of the best things on the internet right now. Suscribed
When you see mike tyson jumping to you.... You knew you are fuckedup
The teaching was clear and understandable. Anybody who knows anything about boxing would not see Mike Tyson as a brawler, but recognize him as an artist.
I love it. Tyson used to be everyone’s punchline to jokes.
Yet, decades later, we’re still learning from his techniques.
A True Predator and Master. He understood Boxing so well that he broke the Rules and rewrote many of them.
the caual happy music over fucking iron mike tyson kills me
THE BREAKDOWN ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS WHY CERTAIN THING HAPPEN. THINGS I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND EVEN WHEN WATCHING RERUNS OVER AND OVER. GREAT WORK. IM IN
Damn.
Those boxers that took on Tyson in his prime had a lot of courage.
I can feel those hits from here.
What also helped Tyson with his devastating leaping punches was his leg power. He generated so much power, his wheels were no joke
One thing that meant that Mike Tyson could do this and was such a great fighter was his height, he never fought somebody shorter than him. This meant he always had the reach "disadvantage", which he actually turned into his greatest advantage, it meant that he could engage more of his body in his punches as he had too close the distance, once he was in there his shorter arms meant he could pummel them with full punches. While their longer arms meant they couldn't. That's why he used the gazelle punch to get into their range and his uppercut.
Best analysis I've ever heard....everyone else seems to write off Tyson as a brawler and not look at his skills.
Since you have done such a good job with Mike Tyson. Maybe you will consider analysis of Mike Zambidis. He was a kickboxer that incorporated Mike Tyson's Peek A Boo style.
Rich X us
Yo thx lmao i seen fighters imitate ali's style in kick boxing, always wanted to see a kick boxer using a peek a boo style
Cool I'll check that guy out 👍
You're on a very short list of well-edited, accessible, insightful martial arts commentators on UA-cam. Of the best, Montage King hardly puts any videos out and refrains from analysis, MindSmash hardly edits at all to get a dreamlike repetition to his videos, and JF Combat doesn't use narration. You're doing the Lord's work here! Keep it up!
In some videos, you hear more of the surrounding environment. The sound when he made contact is surreal.
I am not a big boxing fan, but I like watching him attack. It is hell of a sight to behold.
"Everyone got a plan until they get punched in the mouth" - Mike Tyson
I will always love Tyson footage
Please review the great julio caesar Chavez!!!
Most of his fights were staged and sweet pea beat him. Boxing is and will always be corrupted.
Good breakdown of this subject. People forget how good he was.
Mike was unstoppable through '85 and '89! Over this half a decade, in my opinion, there was absolutely no one that could have beaten him. Again, in my opinion, no one, over any era, could have beaten him. He put offensive and defensive strategies of the greats before him, with the help of the "Catskill Connection" (Cus, Atlas, Rooney, Jacobs, Cayton, etc.), into his own strategy with a twist that made him even better than those greats before him. He had perfect center of balance and a rock solid chin (due to his use of his size and because of the size of his neck!). Once he left the "Catskill Connection", and after prison, Don King, Robin Givens, etc. he became less than half as good as he was in those years. He got KO'd by an opponent that, had he fought before all of that crap happened to him (or let happen to him), he would have destroyed him like the others. Buster Douglas! Really? If this fight would have happened, say, the night he fought Spinks or Berbick...etc., I truly don't think Buster would've made it to a decision. Tyson would've knocked him down and out. But again, he was severely unprepared for that fight (and yes, Buster was extremely prepared). But even if all the circumstances that made Buster so determined that night, had he fought Tyson just a few years before, with Rooney in his corner, and properly trained, Tyson would have destroyed him worse than Holyfield did, and Buster was way out of shape. I would be willing to have put money on Tyson beating Holyfield during that period as well. When Tyson and Holyfield fought, Tyson was past his prime and after his downfall, and Holyfield was around his peak. Again, Mike Tyson, during his prime ('80s, Catskill Connection, etc.), he was a machine. The night he fought Spinks, I would have put my house on Mike against anyone, from any era (& I'm including Louis, Ali...maybe not Marciano, but that's a whole different conversation). In my book, during his prime, Tyson is the 2nd greatest heavyweight of all time.
Holyfield was near his peak? The fight was made in an effort to capitalize on a Holyfield that was "washed up" after being stopped by Big Daddy Bowe. It backfired and Tyson ducked Lewis in the process. Tyson better than 64-67 Ali? Liston was stronger and a better boxer and he couldnt do it. It took fighters like Frazier and Norton to bother Ali. Frazier was a different animal from Tyson too don't bother comparing them. More heart and endurance. Tyson would've ANNIHILATED Marciano. You're ass backwards. Mike's best weapon was fear: Holyfield and Lewis never feared him. Ali wouldn't have either. Lennox Lewis is the only man I have beating Muhammad Ali in his prime. Larry Holmes in his prime would've also outclassed Tyson.
Nobody would annihilate Marciano. He's the alpha version of the two handed power hitter, Tyson is the beta version. Tyson had a slight edge in power but rocky made up for that by having the heart of a lion. Finally in the months following Tysons release you could see he had no interest in fighting or partying. He just wanted a normal life and family. ....least he made it.
@@chrissuponcic5181 if Marciano stuck around for Sonny Liston, we would've saw some magic. And if Tyson had no interest in fighting, he shouldn't have. And yes, Tyson would've destroyed him. Marciano was the size of a modern LH/Cruiser. All the heart in the world can't save you from an animalistic and precise onslaught. Joe Frazier could've gotten the job done too.
@@TheCharlesJackson why did Tyson fight again? He was informed his ass was going right back to prison if he didn't immediately start paying the millions in back taxes he owed. King told Tyson don't worry about a thing in prison well handle your estate. Another lie to make sure Tyson came back to king and continued to fight for king. As for him beating marciano.....well never know. All we can do is look at facts and stats. Tyson was heavier and faster. Tyson mated perfectly against conventional boxers because he fought out of a crouch like Dempsey. Conventional boxers defense works by circling to the left. Essentially backing up, slipping or moving away from the opponents jab to disrupt their timing. This means circling into their power hand which smothers the punches power. The shorter the punch off the back heel the less knockout power it carries. Tyson was built to fight bigger conventional styler boxers. His loses to holyfield illustrate what happens when Tyson is forced to "fight in a phone booth". In close quarters against someone his height Tyson loses his 2 knockout punches. The leaping left upper / hooker cut and uppercut. Those two punches rely on your opponent being taller than you. It's how holyfield avoided Tysons power. Take them away he becomes a rounded fighter throwing only hooks. Round punches are easily ducked by experienced fighters. Marciano was a wild puncher which is extremely effective against the peek a boo style. The style works off slipping the jab and moving forward, forward being the important part. Marciano didn't throw jabs, he closed the gap and threw power to the body and head. Unlike Tyson who's power came from angles of attack Marcianos was strictly arm power and momentum. Once he got you to back up the head body combinations don't stop until you clinch or go down. That's why marciano knocked out 88 % of the men he fought. He was an unorthodox brawler with power, stamina, unbelievable chin and more heart / resilience than his opponents. Tysons my favorite boxer but Marcianos style is a bad match for him. It would turn out very similar to his fights with holyfield. That's why marciano retired 49 and 0 with 43 knockouts, it's unprecedented. Now put Tyson against Ali and he knocks him out in 1 to 3 rounds. Styles make fights and Ali's style is what the peek a boo was designed for. All that said well never know but it's fun to speculate
@@chrissuponcic5181 Thats a solid analysis you've got there actually. Still, Marciano came along at the perfect time. I would've loved to see him in the 70s or 90s. Hold on specify the end part of your comment? Who knocks out who in 1 to 3 rounds? If you're saying Tyson sleeps Ali using the peek-a-boo style, Floyd Patterson didn't do it. Frazier didn't knock Ali out either. If fighters like Quick Tillis could take Mike the distance, no doubt Ali would make it. No fear, elite speed, elite defense, etc. Liston and Foreman couldn't knock Ali out. Ali's chin and body would be more than enough to take any shot Tyson had to throw too. Styles do in fact make fights. Also, Holyfield was an unprecedented warrior. He always had TYSON'S number and would've schooled him in 91 when it was supposed to happen originally. Marciano lacks the size to properly put away guys like Tyson, Real Deal, Big Daddy, and Lennox. A late 60s Ali would've beaten Marciano on points over 15 rounds too. Speculation is always fun. What I really wanted to see was Bowe and Lewis. Tyson and Frazier. Louis and Ali. Rocky and Liston. Ali and Real Deal. Just absolute dream matches we'll never get and it's tragic.
When pure talent manifests itself...well, that's Tyson.
I'm not sure if it was the late eighties, it early nineties, but someone told me Tyson was a brawler. They couldn't have been more wrong, but I understand why someone would think that.
I used to think boxing was a thugs sport but I’ve since gotten into it and started practicing, watching shit loads of videos trying to learn more and more. It is seriously a beautiful sport and guys like Tyson are just poetry in motion.
DUDE your good! I have always loved watching boxing all weights. Im not as sharp as most are with technique. In fact I pretty much have no clue on how technical and mental fighting really is. You have to be very smart and cunning to box affectively. The way you break everything down has made me fall in love with boxing again. Very cool! Thanks for the education.
He just simply Generated Dodge Hellcat torque with his punches and put you to sleep!
I started with the lomo breakdown and i couldnt stop :) keep up the good work!
By far the best of all time
The bull Mc cabe not even tp 10 heavyweights of all time lol
I'd make an argument for Tyson being in a top 10 heavyweights of all time at the latter end of the list, definitely not in a top ten boxers of all time.
Nathan Mabie list them
1. Muhammad Ali - Obvious pick, too influential to not choose as #1.
2. Rocky Marciano
3. George Foreman
4. Joe Frazier
5. Joe Louis
6. Jack Dempsey
7. Larry Holmes
8. Evander Holyfield
9. Mike Tyson
10. Wladimir Klitchko
Nathan Mabie sorry but i would put riddick bowe before tyson. He had more weapons, better career (although both failed to live up to their potential), better skilled (could fight on the inside and from a distance). Hell id even put morrison ahead of tyson purely based on his career being more successful. The best person tyson beat was razor ruddock.
your channel is slowly becoming addictive... really love it
This is exactly why Tyson is my boxing mentor!
love your breakdowns
No matter how many times I see it, that hook to the body at 1:08 makes me wince every time. Also, Tyson's same hand hook-uppercut or double-uppercut combos were things of beauty.
Loye your channel!

Great techniques and it's good to see this now and appreciate boxing more. The best heavy weight, I've ever seen.
A lot of people said that Tyson's power was natural, can't be taught and you have to be born with it. Well this breakdown proves them wrong. Boxer friend of mine use to ask a lot of other boxers and trainers how to build striking power (freakish power) and all of them said it's natural.
The WaterBearer90 what...
Well to a certain extent they're not wrong. If you're talking about power that is above and beyond what a regular person can do with training, then the trainers are correct. You have to have the build and the right type of muscle to get above that. But you don't need to hit as hard as Tyson in his prime to win. The vast majority of power comes from technique - it's only when you start talking about outliers like Tyson that nature comes into the picture.
Anybody can use the same techniques as Tyson (if they actually put the time in to master them like he did) and hit hard. But they are almost certainly not going to hit as hard as Tyson.
Dude you rock... I love the analytics you did, how you broke everything down, the vid editing you do.. and how your explain everything... thank you soo much
Tyson in his prime had no equal!!! From any era!!!I don't give a damn who u put in the ring with him he would destroy them!!!

Excellent video. Terrific commentary. I wish you great success in the future.
most desastating puncher ever created by matter!
I respect your understanding of the game and I appreciate the breakdown thank you
the tyson bob and weave, beautiful stuff
The reason Tyson won was not because he was a strong and ferocious boxer, he was also a very smart one. He used tactics that differ him from different boxers at that time.
These videos are dope! They have given me an even greater appreciation for how amazing Tyson was. Keep them up!!
He used to study sugar ray alot he once stated. He as a heavy weight wanted to be as quick as the lightweights. I think he pretty much acheived that. Hes my favorite boxer of all time.
I really enjoy your work! PLEASE keep the TYSON videos coming I love them and how in depth you are!
I was taught not to loop the uppercut but to bring it straight up taking the lever effect out of the punch
Tyson studied many eras of boxing going back before the ‘30s. He even studied historical figures like Alexander the Great in order to see where their mindset was at. This according to his podcast
Your intricate breakdown of each movement is excellent. I use your videos as a kind of tutorial for augmenting my own training. Keep it up you have a fan.
You are great at explaining Brother
What a great video! I was watching some Tyson fights and was curious about those leaping punches and powerful uppercuts and this answered my questions. Thank you so much!
Incredibly good analysis... thanks!

Thanks man! Really well done. Love to see an analysis of his peek a boo style, Id be interested to see his footwork in particular as well as how he sets up angles/ bait his opponents.
Excellent video, short, sweet and amazing!!!
His strength comes from the place he grew up in, and the natural ability he was born with, I dont think we will ever see greatness like him again. We love you Mike and enjoy seeing you do well in your current life..
Fascinating this guy put multiple guys to sleep or almost out with what look like grazing shots. Made it look like fixed fights almost. Savaresse especially.
Speed , power and punches in bunches with lots of head movement sums up a young ferocious Tyson !!a unique cus damoto style
3:54 The fighter Tyson "lifted" was Donovan "Razor" Ruddock.
No, the opponent is Julius Francis

I WAS WRONG!

I'm addicted to you videos I love them brother you bring so much more insight into boxing greats
Just amazing how he moves, used to love watching him and would love to see another Mike Tyson, deffinatly the best ever in his prime
hell yeah dude great insightful video. building my arsenal with the help of your vids
Thanks for the breakdown. It was to the point, referenced and engaging.
Great Breakdown. Could use a lil aside for Tyson's 'ace up the sleeve'. The right hook to the body, right uppercut combination that finished soooo many.
Nice work man, I'm enjoying these vids quite a bit!
