That's why I love the channel, he's talking from so much genuine experience and has a great practical perspective that I would want in a coach. You can also tell it's what they love to do. They have such a blast 🤙
Thanks for the Tyson tips. I’m sixty years old and have never fought professionally but I now feel confident that I can become the next heavyweight champion of the world. If you see me coming you better get off the side walk. Man, I’m pumped. Look for me soon at Madison Square Garden or Ceaser’s Palace, I’ll be knocking out the chumps.
Part of the reason Mike could move around his opponents and throw effective shots no matter how his stance ended up was because he was a converted southpaw. Cus made him switch and start training and fighting from an orthodox stance for that reason. Mike would naturally switch stances while throwing combinations which made it particularly difficult for his opponents to defend against his onslaught because they couldn't tell which side the power shot was going to come from.
Not to mention he wouldn’t always take big telegraphic shifts like the ones demonstrated in this video. Sometimes he would just take one small step or subtle hop and completely change his stance, it’s very hard to notice him doing this when he fights unless you watch him in slo mo. Marvin Hagler also does this a lot too. Mike would mix these small and subtle shifts in with the big telegraphic shifts like the ones in this video to completely disorient and overwhelm opponents.
The foot cam is really helpful. I’m the striking instructor at my college’s martial arts club, and when doing some instruction over zoom we actually made a dedicated foot camera to show the footwork for some moves :Р
Mike Tyson said once that boxing is for kids who don't have anything. Those people could be "Mike Tyson" but yeah, most of us, no. I'll never move like Tyson, but man his movements are so good.
This. Every great champ needs a dose of ferocity that's born out of a very deep kind of anger. The anger that builds up for years of a tough life full of danger, pain, sadness and uncertainty. This can't be ingrained past certain point in life, you must grow with it since childhood. Only that allows someone to endure 12 rounds of pain.
One of my favorite more often true than not martial arts maxims is "all fighting is positioning." I like that even in this, the answer is still footwork.
I'm training a friend from scratch (he had a few months MT exp), the FIRST thing I taught him was the D'amato shift, shifting in and out, and how to "stay on his bicycle", just as movement and awareness of angles training. I taught him how to move, evade, defend, and finally how to hit, open and closed stance on both leads. Now we're working more Trevor Wittman/Duane Ludwig style "drive bys" from kickboxing range, with the shift- around in his back pocket, with the shifting cross and hitting off lateral steps (step out 2/4 and carry hip (pivot out) 1/3), and basic open stance lead foot fighting/positioning game I'm long as hell so I fight like a mix of Foreman, Floyd, Moore (poorly, and in a more boxing context of course, but those styles work well for Muay Thai clinching) When your partner matches your shift with a lateral step, I would push his shoulder with my head and crack the body if I can get his hands up. My favourite counter to people who shift around: If they do it "Loma" style by blocking your vision, but in MT/MMA - trap the hand, time an overhand elbow Tyson style - post on the head and fire shots at the "shoulders", catch the head as it passes through the "slots" when they level change, tire out their neck and head fight like Evander
Good counters, these are the comments I am here for! If your not using sport rules the shift is a perfect set up for the basic judo foot sweep too Its what they teach day one, not vs punches obviously but easy to adapt
I want there to be an official Hard2Hurt pinball machine now where all the sounds are just Mike making noises. Imagine the bumpers and rails going "Bing Bing Bop Bing Bop Bop, shhhhhh Bing Bop"
We all forget that Mike had a great jab as well...quick, stiff jab, firing it off at the same time his opponent would...always against an opponent with a length and reach advantage...takes a lot of discipline to do that
Seriously, thanks for showing the feet. Its hard to practice the stuff you show in these videos if I don't know how to move my feet around. Not all of us are already good or even decent yet
@@sgtduckduck I highly doubt that you, I, or anyone else watching this video with the exception of the top 1% have perfect footwork. Do i understand the basics of footwork? Yes. That doesn't mean I don't have room for improvement, and that I shouldn't be mindful of how I move my feet when I practice. My goal is constant improvement, and emulating those more successful than myself is a way to ensure that. Growing as a martial artist requires humility.
@@formoney5255 buddy I'm just trying to explain to you the point of the guy who said your coach should be looking at your feet- if you don't want to take the advice and put your ego aside that's whatever. Humility is important
This is Tyson without the specific head movement, bending at the waist, inside advanced tricks, etc, but it's one of the best 'basically this is Tyson'. I always find your realistic outlook on martial arts very refreshing.
I am someone who practices this a lot. Just that when I move to the sides I throw a jab or a cross while I jump sideways so that my opponent doesn’t know which side I’m moving to. Also to switch sides one doesn’t have to dip their head, one can squat and jump while throwing a jab or a cross to set up the next move and that would throw off my opponent. Your video is very cool and I learned a lot watching it, and you’re right, No one can be like Tyson but I think incorporating some of the pick a boo style can help what I already do with my longer arms. Thank you much!
Personally when it comes to boxing I don’t think you should look at just 1 fighter and try to be like them for a number of reasons u should learn the basics then look at lots of different fighters and take what u can from them and make it work for u
@@plogplog207 yeah it’s jus I do boxing so that’s why I said boxing but when I started I would only watch Mike Tyson stuff then sort of started watching fighters like Mike Tyson then to a whole different Variety of fighters and take bits here and there that they done n try them out in sparing and make them work for me
depends what works for the individual though. I tried learning boxing the traditional way and it was too boring so I went on youtube, looked at 'Tyson Technique breakdowns" or Roy Jones, Floyd, Willie Pepp etc. and just learned their moves and why they do em and when, and THEN doing the fundamentals became fun and easy. Some need a model to mimick, some need the basic moves
I’ve watched this channel for years, and I finally have something useful to say. Me and my son spar, and he does the side step kind of similar to this. Something he does very well is snatch a single leg at the end of one of these sequences. I find it’s damn near impossible to sprawl out of the takedown, cuz it’s from the side. I’m no wrestler, but it seems FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE to survive a one-two, shift, random punch combo, single leg takedown.
Man Dominick Cruz has got the best and the slickest footwork in the UFC in my opinion. Masvidal is way up there wiyh his stance switching also but Cruz though...
Tyson fought so good because he had his corner yelling out combinations by number one through ten. He trained till he was like a machine that punched the shit out of you. You weren't just boxing Tyson in his prime. His corner would watch for openings and opportunities hard to see yourself as a fighter in action and yell out the numbered solution to that puzzle, which Mike had trained to immediately pick up and fire off. They had a great system and it was a huge advantage with such a dedicated fighter
YESSS! The Tyson Sequence! I remember asking for this one! 🙏🏼☺️ Also, Lomachenko loves this sequence a lot, and Nate even used his little glove pulling trick at the end there with the sequence 😉😂
I use one almost every day and my 7 yo son has a habit of throwing his rolled up socks at me, after a while I noticed myself striking them down without thinking 😂
The main reason, in my humble opinion, why it didn't matter if Mike was orthodox, southpaw, or square (like his idol, Jack Dempsey) is that Mike had quick legs, power in both hands (he was ambidextrous in the ring), and in his prime, he throw his punches in bunches. Basically, he was an in-fighter with a lot of high volume, unusual punching combinations, with the footwork of an out fighter, and the punching power of a slugger, where just a single punch could take you out. That's a lot to deal with for any fighter. Typically, a boxer is only dealing with one of the main type of styles: out-fighters, in-fighters, and sluggers.
Man i love seeing when they're trying to demonstrate it but get more into it and jusy start having a good time, like you can really tell they enjoy fighting, everyone wants fighting to be this hardcore bloody sport but when youre actually training with others, its just fun (from what ive seen never knew anyone who enjoyed fighting like i do so more going off what i see than experienced unfortunately)
Yo coach, I've been teaching striking for about 5 years, and I teach this same sequence. I'm 6'6" and when in shape 230lbs, and the only one who I taught this to that made me feel actual pressure was a student only about 6 years younger than me (I'm 28) because he is already a super athlete, 5'11" and a solid 210lbs he hits with so much force when he remembers to stay tight that I legitimately gained distance and hard countered during sparring because of instinct like every real fight I've been in. That is 1/250 people I've trained or trained with who emulated Mike Tyson well enough and I'd say that's the luckiest draw to find that. My personal style is very much like Wonderboy so I live for the counter but don't mind putting out that pressure. Side kick nation lol. In all honesty I love your videos and by watching you, Wonderboy, fight tips, and a few others you have helped me so much with my ability to teach and from the bottom of my heart I thank you. Nothing but respect sir, keep being you
That part 3 move is awesome gonna try it. "Fight like Tyson" I think that usually ppl say that just meaning same style, not necessarily skill or ability
I think a better response than the side step is the weldon reset to the right with the option to throw a cross left hook combo once you land. That way you don't end up so close to the guy (ending up probably playing his game on the inside) and have a better shot at escaping to an open portion of the ring because the guy is probably going to be trying to get you to step towards a corner or the ropes.
I favorited this video to help me become the next karate based mike tyson in mma. I plan to use dmateo shift to set up spin kicks. And check for block kick. Side check kick specifically.
Can I talk about something from one sec. I want to praise Mike for being such a good coach, or being super specific. So in high school I wrestled for year, hated it couldn’t figure out any of it, I could only really get the up and under in the back trip… Even though I was a football player and I’ve been playing football for 10 to 11 years at a time. My father I’ve been teaching boxing his father was a Golden Globe thought him boxing, I played a bunch of sports training a bunch of sports. I didn’t understand any of how or why what I did work and why the things anyone would tell me that worked for other people didn’t. Turns out I need to understand the very mechanics behind certain things. So I did a little boxing college and until I couldn’t stop over being too heavy handed or over rotating till I learned, by happenstance, what kinetic linking was and how your feet, your hips, and floor is how power works. I say that to say I’m rather hard to teach. I come to these videos a lot and the way you break down exactly what, why, and how it works helps a ton. I don’t leave confused or just going through the motions like with the ppl who use to try and coach me.
I created this channel largely because i was always frustrated with the way things were explained, or rather not explained, in most of the schools i went to. I knew there were other guys with the same problem.
Oh this is awesome, thanks Icy Mike from the UK. I am learning to box & last week I tried being an out-fighter and spent 6 rounds against a far more experienced swarmer, and spent 6 rounds with one knee on the canvas. Next time I rematch him, I'll try this instead, and spend 6 rounds with one knee on the canvas. 👍
I will not be the next Mike Tyson, but this instruction is fantastic. No one shows the double foot shift after Tyson's normal shift. Thank you for this.
I love how you go into the footwork best video yet. Theres 2 main Reasons not to fight like Mike 1. You will lose stamina fast this style requires you to constantly move and shift in different angle 2. You should always have more than one style of fighting. I do use this style sometimes but mixed in with some dirty hand fighting and only for a little to frustrat the other guy. You can also shift from a mayweather stans too but in my opinion it requires less energy and from a much more relaxed profile. Its also important to know mayweathe uses about 4 different stances not just the t shaped crab shell. This is what made him grat and gave him the ability to adjust accordingly within a fight.
good peekaboo is crowd pleasing. it also creates panic in even most intermediate level boxers. id recommend every boxer study "how to fight like tyson" videos. just add some more tools. part of what made it so effective is that it allows you avoid taking shots as you enter range. it opens up all kinds of creative opportunities to apply your basic punches.
For my Tyson style I use the rope drill and lead head hooks. Not to forget Tyson special inside lead body hook - lead uppercut combo. Basically going forward while constantly waving or slipping while jabing to get the angle for the big head hook.. Every gym has its on flavour.
12:17 the fact that nate can move SO FAST for his size, is terrifying for itself, i need to show this to my 275lb cousin, i will turn him into my bodyguard...
Nice!!!!!! Definitely gonna use this footwork and technique and mix it with my kickboxing. Also do you have more video breakdowns of your clinch uppercuts? Love watching you use those in your sparring sessions
I am beginning to formulate an opinion that the metric for how much someone understands the monster that is Mike Tyson is how terrified they are by him.
I practice this ' shift ' after doing actually another FAMOUS Tyson punch when he dips his body / head to give a punch to the midsection. If you think about it, in that sequence, your in a position to shift and it works great of you knocked just a bit of wind out of your opponent to shock him a bit
Still depends on the person, not saying they will be as good as Tyson, but there are people with the right body shape, attitude, size etc, who could pull it of and use it to be at least semi-decent.
Great video. Only thing I want to ask is some boxing coaches say you should move with your back leg first when shifting because leading with your front leg can 'freeze' you for a split second if the opponent moves in an unexpected way - like you've already committed to that area of the ring and your back leg has to follow. If you lead with your back leg during the shift and the opponent moves in an unexpected direction, you can still step in a different direction with your lead leg because you haven't 'committed' to that spot. Does this work just as effectively with a back leg lead?
HARD2HURT MIGHT I SAY THAT YOUR VIDEOS HAVE REALLY MADE MY DAY MULTIPLE TIMES SUCH AS THE PEPPER SPRAY GUN TEST WOWOW THAT WAS REALLY SOMETHING SPECIAL 🙌🙌 YOU HAVE GIVEN ME TIPS THAT WOULD COSTS THOUSANDS THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS ALL THE BEST YOUSEEBABA USA
Aren't you worried about side-stepping into the defender's elbow in a non-boxing context? I would have thought that elbows would be the go-to solution for not having the range to use your hands or is there something going on that I'm not seeing?
Man Tysons uppercut to the body follow by uppercut to the face with same hand followed by side step, followed by overhand left or right with the same hand....oof, deadly. Just watched his highlight reel of every knockout he ever had. How can a man that lethal have such a gentle voice 🤣🤣
The safety of the positions you end in only apply under the rules of boxing. In cage fighting, being too close to his hand to throw a punch means you are in perfect range for an elbow to the face. Also loading your weight on the front leg leaves you vulnerable to a sweep. These moves may be great in a boxing match but in a street fight or a fight involving elbows and kicks, they are much riskier.
Im a foot guy too lol. Think you could do a breakdown of the cross guard block? Archie Moore (132 kos) and Frazier (beat ali 1 of 3 fights) Two of my favorites, you dont see that style much any more. Why do you think that is?
Can you please make a video about fighting flashlights in general? What to look for, and maybe some suggestions on certain flashlights? That would help a lot!
Vasily Lomachenko has a similar style, only he deliberately throws a jab to get his opponent to put both his hands up in defense, effectively blinding himself, which Vasily then uses to quickly pivot to the sides.
Why I always have to come back to this video and have a Good laugh out of it...bruh you funny af and your videos are highly instructive,mixing accuracy and humor is the key to good coaching...keep the good work bro
The only way to fight like Tyson, is to BE Tyson... The man was gifted at a DNA level. You can't just have that, you need to be born with it, and then build on it... And his mental state, his commitment, his maniacal drive to destroy anything in his path, no matter the cost... You can't just replicate that, and you can't replicate the combination of all those things I mentioned... He will always be remembered as one of the greatest of all time. If people could learn to be like that, they would. They can't, and that's WHY he is the GOAT.
Why isn’t the first step/shift to his blind side? Wouldn’t they be more effective at keeping you safe at distance and making your opponent more vulnerable/off balance?

Man i love seeing when they're trying to demonstrate it but get more into it and jusy start having a good time, like you can really tell they enjoy fighting, everyone wants fighting to be this hardcore bloody sport but when youre actually training with others, its just fun (from what ive seen never knew anyone who enjoyed fighting like i do so more going off what i see than experienced unfortunately)
Yo coach, I've been teaching striking for about 5 years, and I teach this same sequence. I'm 6'6" and when in shape 230lbs, and the only one who I taught this to that made me feel actual pressure was a student only about 6 years younger than me (I'm 28) because he is already a super athlete, 5'11" and a solid 210lbs he hits with so much force when he remembers to stay tight that I legitimately gained distance and hard countered during sparring because of instinct like every real fight I've been in. That is 1/250 people I've trained or trained with who emulated Mike Tyson well enough and I'd say that's the luckiest draw to find that.
My personal style is very much like Wonderboy so I live for the counter but don't mind putting out that pressure. Side kick nation lol. In all honesty I love your videos and by watching you, Wonderboy, fight tips, and a few others you have helped me so much with my ability to teach and from the bottom of my heart I thank you. Nothing but respect sir, keep being you
That overhead angle was really cool and idek why lol
That part 3 move is awesome gonna try it. "Fight like Tyson" I think that usually ppl say that just meaning same style, not necessarily skill or ability
I think a better response than the side step is the weldon reset to the right with the option to throw a cross left hook combo once you land. That way you don't end up so close to the guy (ending up probably playing his game on the inside) and have a better shot at escaping to an open portion of the ring because the guy is probably going to be trying to get you to step towards a corner or the ropes.
I favorited this video to help me become the next karate based mike tyson in mma. I plan to use dmateo shift to set up spin kicks. And check for block kick. Side check kick specifically.
Ok lol
@@jorgemasviballs 😂😂
Well done video. Adding the Catskill style to your game is a huge benefit.
I lost it when you said “but you can shift again”😂😩😂😩
Simplicty tends to lead to success. Brilliant instructional video. Thanks for what you do.
Can I talk about something from one sec. I want to praise Mike for being such a good coach, or being super specific. So in high school I wrestled for year, hated it couldn’t figure out any of it, I could only really get the up and under in the back trip… Even though I was a football player and I’ve been playing football for 10 to 11 years at a time. My father I’ve been teaching boxing his father was a Golden Globe thought him boxing, I played a bunch of sports training a bunch of sports. I didn’t understand any of how or why what I did work and why the things anyone would tell me that worked for other people didn’t.
Turns out I need to understand the very mechanics behind certain things. So I did a little boxing college and until I couldn’t stop over being too heavy handed or over rotating till I learned, by happenstance, what kinetic linking was and how your feet, your hips, and floor is how power works.
I say that to say I’m rather hard to teach. I come to these videos a lot and the way you break down exactly what, why, and how it works helps a ton. I don’t leave confused or just going through the motions like with the ppl who use to try and coach me.
I created this channel largely because i was always frustrated with the way things were explained, or rather not explained, in most of the schools i went to. I knew there were other guys with the same problem.
Oh this is awesome, thanks Icy Mike from the UK. I am learning to box & last week I tried being an out-fighter and spent 6 rounds against a far more experienced swarmer, and spent 6 rounds with one knee on the canvas. Next time I rematch him, I'll try this instead, and spend 6 rounds with one knee on the canvas. 👍
Yeah you're still gonna lose but now you will look cool.
I will not be the next Mike Tyson, but this instruction is fantastic. No one shows the double foot shift after Tyson's normal shift. Thank you for this.
Great video. I'd like to see a part 2 where its done in a kickboxing sequence so we can see how kicks may be added.
Kicking can be added by..... shifting a bit further into a sound kicking stance preferably and then kicking
I love how you go into the footwork best video yet. Theres 2 main Reasons not to fight like Mike
1. You will lose stamina fast this style requires you to constantly move and shift in different angle
2. You should always have more than one style of fighting.
I do use this style sometimes but mixed in with some dirty hand fighting and only for a little to frustrat the other guy. You can also shift from a mayweather stans too but in my opinion it requires less energy and from a much more relaxed profile. Its also important to know mayweathe uses about 4 different stances not just the t shaped crab shell. This is what made him grat and gave him the ability to adjust accordingly within a fight.
As a boxer, watching this makes me think that if there was a 3 part boxing course this would be the intermediate episode. Real good stuff 🤝🏾
good peekaboo is crowd pleasing. it also creates panic in even most intermediate level boxers. id recommend every boxer study "how to fight like tyson" videos. just add some more tools. part of what made it so effective is that it allows you avoid taking shots as you enter range. it opens up all kinds of creative opportunities to apply your basic punches.
"This will work. This'll work for you. It'll work against you, too, probably." Lmao top notch comedic timing
For my Tyson style I use the rope drill and lead head hooks. Not to forget Tyson special inside lead body hook - lead uppercut combo. Basically going forward while constantly waving or slipping while jabing to get the angle for the big head hook.. Every gym has its on flavour.
Love the content Mike, cheers.
12:17 the fact that nate can move SO FAST for his size, is terrifying for itself, i need to show this to my 275lb cousin, i will turn him into my bodyguard...
Step one of becoming mike Tyson: get hypnotized at a young age
Lord...hearing that story on Rogan's podcast... _"there is only the task"_
thath how you create a monther like Tython

Hey coach ur probably one of the best instructors ive ever seen.... My mind is blown bubba!!
Nate looks like the final evolution of Maddox. I was scared for Mike when Nate started moving around him!
Nice!!!!!! Definitely gonna use this footwork and technique and mix it with my kickboxing. Also do you have more video breakdowns of your clinch uppercuts? Love watching you use those in your sparring sessions
Hows it going with the footwork
You fool! Don't you realize what you've just done? Now all of the beginners will be unstoppable! Goddamn it Mike!
sidestep to get back to 50/50 ..... at least he gave up how to counter it dou
Not good enough! They are UNSTOPPABLE NOW! That means zero counter. Mike ruined thousands of years of martial arts techniques. Is this your king?
suddenly everybody has leveled up and looks like mike tyson
It wasn't just his footwork, it was his crazy head movement.
What a great video! Having the 'loading' explained is super insightful.
Wiping the glove at the end - perfect!
Bro, this combo looks so CLEAN. Mad props Master, mad Props..... respect 100%
I am beginning to formulate an opinion that the metric for how much someone understands the monster that is Mike Tyson is how terrified they are by him.
Homie really doesn’t like people wanting to be like mike Tyson
Yes, a foot heavy episode! I'll be in my bunk.
great video for the footwork and elbows! Well explained! Enjoyed this! Thank you!
I practice this ' shift ' after doing actually another FAMOUS Tyson punch when he dips his body / head to give a punch to the midsection. If you think about it, in that sequence, your in a position to shift and it works great of you knocked just a bit of wind out of your opponent to shock him a bit
It's as if Adam West has returned from the grave. The only thing missing was a few ZAPs and a KAPLOW!
-You want to fight like Myke Tyson?
-yes
-so you can’t
Still depends on the person, not saying they will be as good as Tyson, but there are people with the right body shape, attitude, size etc, who could pull it of and use it to be at least semi-decent.
Yeah bro i got you,its just a joke ❤️
If you do a backflip in your next video, I will like your next 10 videos in a row
loving the sound effects. Bing Bing boom! love your videos man. very informative
Your boxing skills are getting better man.
Great video. Only thing I want to ask is some boxing coaches say you should move with your back leg first when shifting because leading with your front leg can 'freeze' you for a split second if the opponent moves in an unexpected way - like you've already committed to that area of the ring and your back leg has to follow. If you lead with your back leg during the shift and the opponent moves in an unexpected direction, you can still step in a different direction with your lead leg because you haven't 'committed' to that spot. Does this work just as effectively with a back leg lead?
When I'm in tha streetz and get into a fight, I'll be sure to make all the bing, bap, boom sounds while thinking of you, Mike.
HARD2HURT MIGHT I SAY THAT YOUR VIDEOS HAVE REALLY MADE MY DAY MULTIPLE TIMES SUCH AS THE PEPPER SPRAY GUN TEST WOWOW THAT WAS REALLY SOMETHING SPECIAL 🙌🙌 YOU HAVE GIVEN ME TIPS THAT WOULD COSTS THOUSANDS THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS ALL THE BEST
YOUSEEBABA USA
Aren't you worried about side-stepping into the defender's elbow in a non-boxing context? I would have thought that elbows would be the go-to solution for not having the range to use your hands or is there something going on that I'm not seeing?
i just found these videos...i love the way you talk about this.
Best video explaining the move!! Thanks so much!!
Man Tysons uppercut to the body follow by uppercut to the face with same hand followed by side step, followed by overhand left or right with the same hand....oof, deadly. Just watched his highlight reel of every knockout he ever had. How can a man that lethal have such a gentle voice 🤣🤣
Thank you for the video and the laughs brother ! ☺♥
I love this type of teaching..it cuts the bull ... 💯 on the video
My heavy bag thought I was Mike Tyson, but my opponents thought I was Cicily Tyson 🤣
Today a fighter used the Mike Tyson style. It was on Twitter. It worked. Not sure if he won the fight although he was doing great in that clip.
Tyson hustle baby!
I only watch this dude cause I've grown to enjoy how much he says everything everyone does sucks and doesn't work. Except when he does it.
Gonna try this next sparring session, land none of the blows but in my head I'm Mike Tyson and that's all that really matters.
Damn he said Tyson and I thought Tyson fury not Mike Tyson 😂
lol
Showing your age bro 😂
@@experiment54 lol
The safety of the positions you end in only apply under the rules of boxing. In cage fighting, being too close to his hand to throw a punch means you are in perfect range for an elbow to the face. Also loading your weight on the front leg leaves you vulnerable to a sweep. These moves may be great in a boxing match but in a street fight or a fight involving elbows and kicks, they are much riskier.
Im a foot guy too lol. Think you could do a breakdown of the cross guard block? Archie Moore (132 kos) and Frazier (beat ali 1 of 3 fights) Two of my favorites, you dont see that style much any more. Why do you think that is?
I've done a video on the high elbow variation of it
@@hard2hurt thanks ill check it out
Can you please make a video about fighting flashlights in general? What to look for, and maybe some suggestions on certain flashlights? That would help a lot!
Vasily Lomachenko has a similar style, only he deliberately throws a jab to get his opponent to put both his hands up in defense, effectively blinding himself, which Vasily then uses to quickly pivot to the sides.
Why I always have to come back to this video and have a Good laugh out of it...bruh you funny af and your videos are highly instructive,mixing accuracy and humor is the key to good coaching...keep the good work bro
The only way to fight like Tyson, is to BE Tyson... The man was gifted at a DNA level. You can't just have that, you need to be born with it, and then build on it...
And his mental state, his commitment, his maniacal drive to destroy anything in his path, no matter the cost... You can't just replicate that, and you can't replicate the combination of all those things I mentioned...
He will always be remembered as one of the greatest of all time. If people could learn to be like that, they would. They can't, and that's WHY he is the GOAT.
Why the hell not
Ahh yes the D’mato shift. Most under utilize foot work in today’s age, but that’s just my opinion.
Why isn’t the first step/shift to his blind side? Wouldn’t they be more effective at keeping you safe at distance and making your opponent more vulnerable/off balance?
Bing, bop , bang sounds like bas Rutan lol but I absolutely love the knowledge of this guy hard 2 hurt is what I go to every single day
It has taken 30 years but the D'Amato shift finally has reached its heyday I think. Awesome sequence btw!
"I wanna fight like Tyson" yea I wanna do Juijitsu like Rickson lol
Both please.
Great video, thanks! Try to move to places where it's harder for him to hit you.
