Iron Mike Tyson is one of the most terrifying fighters to have ever entered the ring, having been taught by Cus D’Amato’s in his Peekaboo style of boxing. Today we are going to look at some unique drills that Tyson practiced with trainer Kevin Rooney. These drills paid off big, leading to a number of spectacular Knockouts.
The first drill lead to multiple knockouts, and also one of the most skillful knockdowns in boxing history. - กีฬา

The Modern Martial Artist hey, is there an option to buy the real book cheaper if you pre-ordered the ebook and want a useful physical copy now? Thanks!
Also... feel free to write complete studies and books on styles such as the peek a boo, including drills... i’ll buy em all lol.
The Modern Martial Artist you killed it man more please
There needs to be a whole series of these, this vid was great
please make the other half of the video on mike tyson drills...we want to see more on mike tyson.
And certain commentators had the nerve to say Tyson was just a brawler. This plainly shows Mike was a highly skilled & naturally talented boxing technician.
And a knockout artist.
Rodney Reaves ..... Anyone saying that doesn't know what the hell they are talking about. Tyson studied boxing inside and out and was very knowledgeable.
Those commentators are flat-out ignorant; Iron Mike was very, very technical. He just happened to have power to go with the technique.
The talent wasnt NATURAL, it was choreographed like hell!!! he put alot of time into mastering this techniques .. nobody else has been able to do better since then
Tyson is a boxing scholar. Cus and Mike would watch all the fights on film going back to the early days and talk about how he would have to fight to defeat them in a hypothetical scenario. Mike Tyson can recall damn near every significant fight fight round by round from the last 100 years by memory.
l will never get tired of watching video clips of Tyson.
I met him in person in 1997. He had nobody with him, no bodyguards, just him and a woman.
Boxing casual
@Ken Dean cuz the casual boxing fan started pack includes watching lots of tyson highlights
Doubt it. Everything has its time
Me either I watched so many
A lot of people don't understand how technical Mike was. All they see is the speed and power, but the man also had so much technical skill.
Just an awesome grasp of the fundamentals.
Some guys went straight to varsity in the 9th
Mike went pretty much went pro in 6th grade!
Imagine fighting mike Tyson in the 6th grade
He learned a lot from Willie Pep
Mike was smart, and he worked his ass off
His head movement was insane and terrifying.
People talk about his power but to me its the foot work that is often over looked. His foot work is amazing.
GOD LOVES YOU REPENT DIOS LOS AMA DIOS VIENE DIOS ES BUENO ❤💖♥REPIENTE Y BAUTISMO BAPTISM !
And torso work
Yup, his feet put his hips in position so when he hits he uses the strength of his whole torso.
Thank you!!
@@onstakeisforme2460 God is capable of as much evil as it is good. And as much hate as much love.
For all those who said Mike Tyson was only a brawler, and not a boxer, this video clearly shows everthing he díd was training, and technique executed perfectly
Definitely! And I used to be one of those people I have to admit. I really didn't pay attention to his accuracy of conter-punching, his awesome footwork changing directions on a fighter in split seconds, some of his beautiful combinations to the body and head etc... Trust me! I don't say that anymore lol.
@@them.g.c.network8471 😅
prowlifik Did you even watch the video and paid any attention to it? 😑
Mark Rodrigue I wasn’t talking to you, Mark.
@@Xerxez22 ook bro lol
i laugh my ass off whenever someone says Deontay wilder would beat Tyson.
Lol I do to. He would beat wilder in the first round
Apparently just the name "Tyson" can beat wilder.
Wilder would lock himself in his dressing room saying his armor made him too tired to unlock the door
Mike Tyson could beat him now. People still have the mistaken idea about "tough guys." The Champ ie Mike Tyson is still one of the most knowledgeable boxers ever. I tell you it is magic to see the Champ work. Those are double punches using the same arm crazy speed, guys were knocked out before the punch landed.
If all you have is a knockout punch your not beating Tyson. Tyson ends it within three rounds.
A phenomenal fighter. Speaking from a biomechanics standpoint, his “secret” was to ensure his hips are in motion (and in the same vector as the punch) at the moment of impact.
Most boxers have bouncy "chicken legs" and they slip from the waist, shoulders and neck. Tyson had freaking plinths, would squat down and slip his whole torso from the hips and bring that power back up from the ground for his next punch.
👍
@@Ronsonic
From the floor up! This is often what he meant by saying that he had the advantage of leverage on his taller opponents.
He read the book that Jack D. wrote.
Championship Fighting.
It was a different way of throwing an upper cut.
Hip movement is vital.
Kind of like doing a knee. You have to posterior tilt your pelvic griddle (core strength), which is connected to the spine, which is connected to the shoulder griddle. By the time the glove hits its mark you have charged up some power. It's called summation of forces.
The basic definition of the summation of forces is: when all body parts act simultaneously in practice, the strongest and lowest body parts around the center of gravity move first, followed by the weaker, lighter, and faster extremities.
Is that why he was so adept at reloading so quickly with the body shot, uppercut combo? The amount of power he had in both of those punches was remnant of a piston.
I’ve practised drills like this but had no idea they came from Mike Tyson’s training regime. Tyson is like a coiled spring unwinding when he unleashes. Incredible punching power, but you forget how good defensively he was.
I think many people just think he's a brawler which as you have pointed out is totally wrong... Gus basically helped design that style for his lack of height and reach for people to say otherwise is ignorance.
Every single punch had cemetery power.
Wut
Wtf is cemetery power and how did this ridiculous comment get 38 likes smh
Every punch had the power to put you in the grave
backtothefuture1066 How are you going to call people retards just because you don’t understand a comment that makes perfect sense.
Cemetery power i like that
People seem to easily forget that Tyson was a small man in the heavyweight division.
Both in height and weight.
He HAD to develop a style where he could get inside on his opponent to do any damage.
That Tyson could develop a style to get inside on far bigger men and not only land but stand right in front of them and devastate them while taking no damage himself makes Mike Tyson imo the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time.
I mean he did the impossible.
No other heavyweight has before or since been the smaller lighter weight heavyweight and demolished their opponents like Tyson.
You add in things like Mike had severe asthma and HAD top end his fights early or he'd have an asthma attack and it gets even crazier with what he accomplished.
He was 220 pounds fool. Holyfield only weighed 208 pounds for a long portion of his Heavyweight career. Most folks think Tyson lies about his height but I know for a fact he is just a smidge under 6 foot. Same height as Frazier. 1.5 inches shorter than Ali, 40 pounds heavier than Marciano and almost 2 inches taller than Marciano. 6 foot 5 inch heavyweights were a rarity in those days. Most of them were 5 foot 10 inches to 6 foot 2 inches at that time with a very few larger than that. Do some research before spouting out things you are clearly not educated on.
@@roberthamilton8024 -If you can't watch Tyson's fights and see with your one good eye (that you didn't lose in a riding tractor accident) that Tyson was severely smaller and lighter in his fights then I'm gonna say you're the fuckin idiot and we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Good luck talking about boxing with you trying to make Tyson look 6'0 and 250lbs LOL.
Here's Lennox Lewis and Tyson standing by one another. Since you can't use Google I did. Lewis is 6'5 and is SEVERAL INCHES TALLER THAN TYSON you dumb fuck.

@@ClickClack_Bam Tyson was 5' 11" and over 215. Who claimed 250?
@@LMike2004 Here's Tyson standing next to JCVD. JCVD is said to have been 5'10 but I've seen him listed smaller.
forums.sherdog.com/threads/tysons-height.3678145/
@@ClickClack_Bam the size thing, I happen to think men who are around 6ft give or take a inch or 2, and around 200lbs, give or take 10 or 20lbs, is the best overall size for combination of strength agility and speed. Many of the heavyweights considered to be the best are that size across multiple combat sports. You got guys like Marciano, holyfield, Joe Fraizer, Cain Velasquez, Fedor, Randy Coulture, and many other greats at that 6'2 220lb range. Of course there are monsters like Lennox, Lesnar, and George Formean who have their day, but I am always surprised at how many times these giants get destroyed by 6'2 220lbs guys with a great game plan.
Now, the issue with Tyson is he destroyed a lot of no name nobodies... name one great boxer Tyson beat.... I dont remember the name of one single boxer Tyson was able to beat.
I could name 5 or 6 great boxers Muhammad Ali defeated. Guys like Joe Frazier and George Foreman all deserve to be on the list of greatest heavyweights of all time, and Ali beat them all.
Everytime single time Tyson fought someone with a name, he lost....
Look at clips of Joe Fraizer who I think had the most similar style to Tyson...
But a great boxing historian once said...
"Joe Frazier is a mile wide and a mile deep... while Mike Tyson is a mile wide but only 1 inch deep.."
Tyson had talent but never showed heart in the ring.
I swear, I can't watch this without wanting to start exercising lol.
Best cardio ever would be a mechanical Mike Tyson where you have to dodge his punches.
Ditto
Lol like someone just started to play Eye of the Tiger 😂
@@RedfishCarolina would be terrible cardio because you'd die immediately 😂
@@kevinmurphy5878 ROFL I think if Tyson would dedicate himself he can be a long term legendary trainer himself. I mean why not, people still respect his skill he was just kinda a whacko at times being so angry and aggressive hence the whole ear biting thing and his multiple violent and non-violent outburst.
I love Ali for being charismatic and insulting but with class; like a cocky playboy type and he would put guys down too with Speed and Power for his size while Mike was super Technical and a powerhouse but really aggressive in and out of the ring.
It is good to see that people are starting to understand that TYSON was a very very intelligent and technical fighter and not just big bomber.
He was very very fast with both his hands and his body movements and was able to do in the real fights the moves he practiced.
I used to thought he was just an overhyped boxer, but after watching this. I was definitely amazed. This guy is legendary
Remember what he did to Mitch Green on the street . Lol i will never forget that his face had hills on it.
Only during his time with Rooney and Cus.
If Tyson stayed with Rooney, he would have been undefeated.
No doubt
He would have stayed a better fighter for sure but undefeated I don't know about that. He sure was a special talent though wasn't he? Most entertaining fighter to watch of all time.
@FezDbiZZle yes he did forget to defend and fight. He stopped all the fantastic footwork and combo punching that made him so good. He also stopped leading with that pile driver of a jab that set him up for so much more and his killer body shots dropped by 70%. He began throwing 1 punch combos looking for easy knockouts. Tyson was notorious for training incredibly hard for every fight he ever had except for the Douglas fight which he only trained 8 days. So you claiming he stopped training is 100% wrong. Even his opponents to this day say he was a driven training machine. He got lazy against Douglas though but that was the only time in his career he did not train for a fight properly.
You’re the only 1 in fuckin 25 years that got it right. He would’ve never been defeated!
FezDbiZZle that’s because when you get rid of the guys who help keep your ass in shape mentally you’ll suffer. The body follows the mind he forgot that, it wasn’t ego, they were robbing him and he didn’t know who to trust and made all of the wrong decisions. Mike was humble just ignorant. He respected all of his opponents.
I don’t care how his career ended. At the top of his game no one can beat him
They would and have.
I love tyson he is a terrifiying Boxer, but foreman, ali, rocky mariciano, evander holyfield lennox lewis, i think fury would school him too. 2 of them actually did school him, and you vsnt say he wasnt even his prime only because he lost.
Thats just confirmation bias and taking credit away from holyfield and lewis.
It's very hard to disagree with that. He is the more ferocius fighter I have seen.
@@backbone93 Can you name One fighter who sent his opponent to the floor with a fist in head, not a combination of something else, just a punch in head ? Mike Tyson was, it is and will be the most powerful, skilled and fastest Boxer from the planet Earth! PERIOD! BTW, Fury is a fucking chimpanzee!
id say if lomachenko was at Tyson's weight division he would have a pretty good chance
@@backbone93 My dude, all respect to Marciano, but he would've gotten murdered. Tyson had better training, technique, athleticism, power, speed, stamina, defense, etc. Tyson was an all-around upgrade to Marciano.
Perhaps Marciano had the better chin (it's hard to tell because Tyson's head movement was so good he rarely got hit), but either way, Tyson's power completely overwhelms Marciano's chin. So who had the stronger chin is an irrelevant argument, because if hit cleanly, Tyson's going to one-shot you regardless.
The best martial arts instructor I ever had was a Tyson fanatic. Once you hear someone break down Tyson's arsenal you are forever an addict.
Fascinating footage, I've never seen Tyson's skill broken down like this
Shout out to.the brave boxers that stepped in.the ring with mike
Pussies
Shout out to Mike Tyson for being brave enough to step into the ring with Iron Mike.
You are right, you had to brave to go into the same ring with Mike. Some of this guys had to even activate their life insurance policy. Checkout how Mike brought down Botha and Botha went down 2 times until Mike went to help him to stand.
Or the foolish

Tyson put more people to sleep then tylenol PM.
Lol 😂
Should of called him the real sandman
And faster.
hitler put much more people to sleep tho
Lol
I could watch Tyson all day. He is absolutely mesmerising his movement’s and speed and power and sneaky dodging etc
Likewise
How Mike was able to move side to side that fast while still coming forward and punching is insane.
Forcing his opponent to choose between a concusion and broken ribs
I'd take the broken ribs over the concussion
As a boxer that’s been hit by nasty body shots and head shots...I’ll take the concussion any day.
Punch to the face is scarier but less painful as a bodyshot
@@hc1398 isn't brain damage something to be worried about?
I'd rather take a front row seat.
"A choice between a concussion or broken ribs." 😂😂😂
ikr like damn, what a Choice right? lol🤣
Hmmmmm which would I choose?....... lol
Kolta Kong Knock me out at least I'll be sleep afterwards. A broken rib gonna hurt a lot more in various ways. You laugh it hurts, overeat it hurts, breathe heavy it hurts, turn onto your stomach whilst sleep and pain.
@@ZeitGeist_TV but I'd rather suffer for a little bit than suffer all my life or get knocked dead 🤔
@@ZeitGeist_TV You're forgetting that a concussion can lead to more serious problems. A concussion can put you in a coma in some cases.
With other boxers that have complicated and sophisticated strategies and moves, Tyson almost has this simple but perfected strategy that makes him, for me, the greatest boxer.
I come back and watch this video every so often and it honestly brings me close to tears everytime. Watching Prime Tyson fights is a transcendental experience. To see a man move with such intent, purpose, and power, it's a kind of control and mastery of the body and mind that most of us will never experience. He was like a walking flow state back then. It's great to know that all these years later he's really started to tame his psychology too, considering the mental hell he went through. He's like a 21st century sage, and like all the best sages, you'd never tell from the surface. Wisdom that's more alike to scripture than to an encyclopedia, and I'm not a religious man.
Only Mike Tyson system can beat Usyk....Bravery like Iron Mike needed to stop the unstoppable Ukhrainian.💪
I am the same way when i watch all the videos and the perfect match of speed, power, style, and for all us guys with a short reach, and not big , 215lbs, 5" 10" , even his jab was a piston that deserves more credit ! Amazing get chills still watching Prime Iron Mike!
Wow CRINGE!!!!
Watching Tyson back in the day, you thought it was so fake because he knocked out everyone so fast. Now that you see it with the explanation and the slow-mo, you actually see opponents never even seeing the knock out punch because of his quickness and technique. Not to mention the power this man had.
So true. Tyson was anything but a one-trick pony.
Still my fav fighter. Nothing was more exciting than the anticipation of a Tyson fight
Not even close lol
Mike fought like a trueborn predator in the 80's, hunting unarmed men.
That's a fact! Anticipation was always on high alert lol
@meaturama Thats a good point actually, I always look forward to an incredible sleep when Floyd fights!
Exactly
Wow he moves like a programmed automated machinery
Muscle memory
When Kevin Rooney was fired Mike Tyson's skills diminished as a boxer.
In my eyes, Tyson is the best boxer in history.
I agree. For those 3 or 4 years he was easily the boxer I ever saw. He was so skilled and so fast.
The most skilled and fastest boxer ever!!!!
Theres not going to be another tyson for the next 100 years atleast.
Aloha from greece brothers!
Iron mike

My regards to mr trump man!!

Tyson best ever
@J K There are always those people out there who bring up ali as the greatest! He was technical, but a prime tyson would have been too much for ali.Tyson was way too fast for any fighter period!Ali was caught and rocked by much slower opponents than tyson. Tyson's sneaky hooks and uppercuts would have found their mark! I don't care what people say! You are all delusional if you think ali would have escaped this! Tyson would have killed him or any other fighter for that matter! He would have knocked him out unless ali could get him past the sixth round.From 1 to 6 it's in Tysons favor.
I've watched boxing for 50 years now and iron Mike is the most impressive fighter I've ever seen .
Next to Pacquiao

In my opinion Mike Tyson is without a dought the all time BEST TECHNICAL FIGHTER EVER
Great video. Many don't appreciate all the hard work, study, and technique involved.
Cus D'Amato and Kevin Rooney the best trainers of all times.....
*I agree my friend!¡*
Only if you like peekaboo style. Rooney went on to train Tommy Morrison and Cus trained Floyd Patterson before Tyson but can you tell me of any other fighters they trained? I sure can't and I know my boxing and history of boxing better than most.
@@roberthamilton8024 so he trained the youngest heavyweight world champions ever? What other resume does he need?
@@jondoe406 I never said it was not enough. Thats just the beginning and short end of his champion resume. Where Emanuel Stewart had dozens of fighters he brought up from childhood to champ. That does not count fighters he trained after they were pro challengers or champs already. Eddie Futch, Angelo Dundee, Freddy Roach, and so many others groom many young fighters not 1 every 25 years. Cus was a great man but he is not like the above trainers I mentioned. Not sure where your disxonnect is with what I said.
Not even close.
Look at how he moves. Mind-blowing Mike Tyson. I understand people were afraid to fight him, Good Lord.
blink and the next thing you know he's right by your left already lunging a rocket
@@TideisSyllainDisguis i liked that.
Very true how you said that.
His quickness to reposition himself always forced the other boxer to reposition their body to be able to land a good punch.
It was so many things he was doing within the fight, that it was better off not fighting him from the beginning. But yes his quickness, and power hasn't been matched yet
People who say he wasn't the fastest most skilled heavy weight knows nothing about boxing.
I remember seeing Tyson's third or fourth pro fight. His opponent came to the ring, climbed in, noticed Tyson's predatory stare from the corner...and for just a split-second, there was a flash of terror across his face that I personally have never seen anywhere else in life outside the military. He was beaten before the bell rang and Iron Mike knocked him out in the first round. Couldn't blame anyone for being afraid of this man, the pre-fight look on his face all but screamed, *You are about to die*
@@tonyjones1560 Can't help but feel for the guy.
Nice video; solid work. Very few videos on TH-cam in my experience, within of outside the universe of boxing, warrant the watch. Of course, that only becomes clear after having watched them. But yours--from the rare footage of Tyson and Rooney to the valid analysis of their techniques and execution thereof--is a worthy video. Was without a doubt worth the time and effort to watch it. (Two times over, as I did. Thanks, man.)
I don't think I have ever seen an athlete more explosive and fluid as Tyson
"There's no one that can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious."
You
Had to go
There......
Was he wrong tho......
😄😄😄😄
His style
Never got
Pregnant.......
Read that in mikes voice.
"There's no one can stop meh"
Too bad after that speech he lost in the following fight
"Theas no won that can math me. My thyle is impethous, my defenthe is impwegnable, and I'm juth fewocious."
Man his trainer pulled that greatness out of him 💯
@BIG DOG! I was thinking the same you think is mike who did apply perfectly with his own skills , what he learnt to create that terrific machine of boxing 🥊 !!!
@BIG DOG! Nope. Not true at all. You must not know anything about boxing history
Wall street- very true. Cus D'amato was one of the greatest boxing trainers of All
Time. He taught Floyd Patterson, Jose Torres, Teddy Atlas, Kevin Rooney everything they know about the peek a boo style.
"When I step into the ring my intention is to strip my opponent of their soul." - Mike Tyson
Keep up the good work man, the techniques break downs are really well done and explained, I'm subscribing to your channel. 👍👍
Tyson, in his prime, was the best fighter I've ever seen. He absolutely overwhelmed his opponents. I only wish Cus had lived long enough to manage Mike til the end of his career...I think if he had, Mike would now be known as the best fighter of all time.
Αgreed 100%
@T Wilson I'm so happy for where Mike is in his life now. Hope everything goes well for him.
It was the dope that was is downfall.
Oh...is he not (arguably) known as the best fighter of all time?
@@MrBluntDaily There's a lot of debate about that. There's a bunch of greats and everyone has their favorite. I think Mike vs Ali is the biggest matter of debate.
He was a destroyer, period point blank. I said it before and I'll say it again, if he never had've met 2 people, Robin Givens and Don King, he would've retired undefeated with about a 60 or 70 and 0 record with most of the 60 or 70 by way of knock out.
Agreed.
Nevertheless, his losses never made him less of a legend. If anything, it made him much more respected. What's more terrifying than a king that has several scars to flaunt?
Agree 100%

@@zer-td7il Hmm what an imagination. Gargling another man's balls??? That says a lot about how you think.
Probably true, but it seems everyone gets complacent sooner or later and you just need that combination of someone fighting out of their skin and someone who has believed their own legend for too long.
But, those two definitely helped derail him.
I love watching his training footage almost as much as his fights.
You can tell Rooney is contemplating if he's getting paid enough
Q: Who defeated Tyson?
A: Tyson.

As well as Douglas,, Holyfield, Lewis, et al
Douglas fucked him up but thats true nobody better than tyson.

Being born in the 70's, I was a child of Tyson! Never has there been the most perfect combination of pure athletic talent plus superior training plus a horrific childhood, growing up fighting to create The Beast that was Iron Mike Tyson! Who he is today, makes him one of the most inspiring characters of my life! I've always had compassion for this man even when he was at his worst. Something about him that made me understand his rage and emotion. However, I've always said that after he left Rooney, things went down hill, which sometimes needs to happen for people until they find their authentic selves and can live in peace. I'm not sure if that's ever truly possible but I really dig Mike through all his life that I've witnessed.
I’m impressed buy his athletic accomplishments, but to idolize a rapist ? Tsk tsk lest we forget
@@jadeddragon4254 he didnt do it, no rapist in the history of rape convictions has ever said in a rage after being convicted and sentenced "i wish i HAD raped the bitch", nobody. Thats on par with deathbed confessions.
Seeing most of his recent interviews, social life, and all that, he seems to be at peace with life and himself.
@@Vihara2 Agreed!
5:28 Imagine being this guy. Just throwing literally everything you have at a target as massive as Tyson, and it has absolutely no effect because every single attack misses and then he one shots you.
When that guy woke up, I bet he wasn't even mad, just impressed. But like a little mad. But mostly impressed.
Like every great person he was humble enough to learn from experts and had the dedication and discipline to achieve greatness. He has also put his past behind him and grown as a human being. A true inspiration for anyone.
I still believe that Iron Mike has the best uppercut technique in boxing. This video shows that
Definitely ONE of the GREATEST BOXERS of ALL TIME.
Thank you for the video! ♥️♥️
What a great break down! 🥊🥊 thank you !
Tyson peaked early. But, during his peak, I don't think there's ever been a boxer better than that. Prime Tyson vs anyone = Tyson victory.
Tyson never had a peak !!

Imagine no don king, no jail, sober mike with good people around him polishing his skills age 18-35 years old uninterrupted by circumstances. What kind of evolution would he have had?
@@xeranu8960 What exactly happened with don king?
He didn't peak early we never got to see his full potential. Unfortunately after cus died he didn't have the best people in his camp.
Peak tyson would've still had his crazy peekaboo style but cus or a new good trainer would had him adapt around the fighters who's trainers clued in on how the foot work os a death trap if you don't know how to counter it. Why tyson lost to dudes who then lost to dudes tyson has easily beaten. Tyson was kinda like Ali more unique style very perfected that you needed to actively counter.
Problem is, if tyson had simply thrown in South paw stance or something similar and switched up his peekaboo slips for a move open Bob and weave Ali style but still staying tight ish or switching between more open and tight he could've easily adapted his style kept the foot work concept but had all the angles and set ups to come at you with.
Plus give his planted foot work which helped his power and his speed. A peek fully trained out tyson would've been a much better fighter than what we saw towards the end of his career.
Also would've had the edge of upping his peekaboo style as far as less unneeded movements with better accuracy with slipping in that tight position.
Imagine tyson stepping off to the same right side he did but this time it was his power hand throwing fast south paw strikes to the head with a cross that prevents you from firing back and then a full power body mechanics left into the body.
Or switching for the left side and using his fast power hand for shit.
Before Don King got involved, Tyson might have been the most technically sound heavyweight fighter of all time
James W .... Don King was the first man to beat Tyson he was the one to actually do what so many men tried but failed to do sad to think that slimy bastard has all that money even more money he stole from Mike and Tyson was almost broke.
Don King's got a very special place in Hell, waiting for him. It's REAL hot ...
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., @Chip Altman? Really?? Seriously???
Yeah!!!!! I want to see more of this drills to practical application videos. Thanks
Most people just saw the brute power of Tyson in his glory days, but few realized how skilled he was in technique as well as quickness of punches and combinations. Definitely in the top 5 heavys of all time.
I don’t think anyone could’ve defeated him in his prime.
Paolo Benedicti prime foreman will smack his ass
master gamer
I don’t think so
Hahaha. .....name 1 elite fighter mike beat that wasn't old like Larry holmes ....he got completely outboxed in his prime by buster douglas and knocked the fuck out .......don't get me wrong mike was explosive at what he did but it only served him well when he was knocking over cans in a very weak heavyweight division (not mikes fault) but it only served him well against diluted opposition ...once he stepped up to REAL competition he struggled or got his arse beat .....this style is limited because he only knows how to do a few things and that's headhunt. ..the style was adapted because it works well for people mikes size .....didn't work against the greats tho did it........
@@chrisjenkins5846 Everything you said talking that you don't know shit about boxing. Most "elite" fighters as you call them didn't want to step into the ring with Tyson at his best
@@aadityabhaskar2285 First 3 rounds with Tyson is like other fighter trying just to survive, barely able to do something. That was crazy. It was like we watching him punching heavy bag instead of fighters.
There's power in every single punch. He's amazing
Absolutely I’d really love seeing more drills and footwork drills
5:28 I will never get over how he blunts the impact of that uppercut, that takes serious guts to pull that off.
The importance of a trainer that knows his fighter is unmatched, how many fights did Tyson lose with Rooney? ZERO
How many titles 3. Tyson did not train like this after leaving Kevin, watch the Larry Holmes fight how Rooney knew what combos to use , and not let mike complain about Holmes holding him. Tyson followed king and lost his title his freedom
Smh
said someone dear to me: a good coach is who must know the opponent of his boxer, and know which technique to use against that kind of opponent, because not all are the same. To his basic technique it is necessary to affix some changes every time..
Almost all pro athletes are on juice. Many of the ones who aren't are on hgh, igf1,sarms, prohormones and the like. Whichever boxer you like if he's past the 60s he was probably on steroids. And even if he's not steroids dont make you a great fighter. And Tyson was a genius in the ring. This was largely due to his profoundly knowledgeable coach but he was no slouch and he utilized what his coach taught him nearly every fight.
@The african nigga most dudes were on juice back then. that doesn't take away from his technical skills or mean there's nothing to learn from him
This is probably why Tyson was never great. He was destined to greatness under Rooney and self destructed as soon as he left and was never the same ever again.
Ultimately, Tyson is one of the most overrated fighters of all time. I understand why people get excited, he had such tremendous gifts... But he squandered them all and never had a good fighter after his fight with Rudduck.
Once cus died it was just a matter of time.he was awesome to watch in his prime
Mike Tyson & Cus D'Amato
That's some real-life kung-fu shit right there. The old master teaching his last & greatest student.
90's kids, remember how hype Tyson fights were? Those man cave PPV fights were legit events for us.
Fermion 90s? His prime was the 80s
@@Diversity.555 You may be right. But I'm just talking about my particular experience.
PPV -- and then the fight was over in less than 90 seconds ...
Great vid bro. Cheers for the analysis👍🏻
Amazing awesome Tyson , his footwork is a work of art. Setting all his punches with a solid stable platform for maximum power. Terrific coaching love it
The Mike Tyson era was the last time I seriously and consistently watched boxing. Now it's all UFC for me.
This video is an extreme example of how practice makes perfect.
Agree, I choose UFC over boxing these days, but if I watch a Tyson clip I'm mesmerised!
kajestro m. He said he wouldn’t have wanted compete in the UFC in an interview a few years ago
Absolutely beautiful...Tyson in his prime was like Leonardo da Vinci! Just masterful. The quickness of Tyson and add skill...good night! Awesome video Sir!
Great video man!
More please! Best videos on the web! Please do more! Thank you and God bless!
Tyson’s head movement, ability to change angles and hit with incredible power have never been equalled in the heavyweight division. Appreciate the breakdown of his training and strategy.
Mike tyson was a monster in the ring.
During his time, being matched against him was equivalent to a death sentence.
At least you didn't say literally
Ah yes, the word that literally defines the millennial generation.
lol
No lie!
He's so good at using defense to stay in range of KO it's idiotically great to watch. Very heartful round of clapping to you, sir
This Sir was not only a pleasure to watch but a TRUE work of ART amazing commentary!!! Keep it up,!
Thx
The speed and power in EVERY punch is incredible.
He was an incredible boxer, dedicated to his sport. He also was very lucky to have such a great trainer.
Very lucky in the sense of Cus and Rooney, but really unlucky that the spawn of Satan Aka Don king got his paws on him. Don king wanted Rooney gone and the rest was history.
@@xxxxxJAYMILLZxxxxxxx Well said.
I've really appreciate your content. I was blind to what martial arts was, until now.
Great vid! Love watching the champ fight back then and even spar in the present where he has barely slowed at all in his 50s! He is the one in a million champ! Cus' knew who he had stumbled upon and made him into something beautiful!
devastating power combined with excellent technique = legend
And speed
He moved like a skilled collegiate wrestler, circling quickly but mataining a balanced stance.
This video are great. It shows all his hard work. He wasn't just born a champion, he worked very very hard.
Perfect video with huge value.
Great video. Nice use of the Hajime No Ippo theme at the end.
The hajime no ippo music ippo is based on tyson awesome anime 10 out of 10 for boxing fans
Dont forget Jack Dempsey bro.
Dempshi Roru!
I think he's like Joe frazier. Watch frazier vs Forman and you can see the ippo spirit
@@ManicOpake
The manga author said Ippo is a heavy puncher based on Tyson
That Anime cost a grip now that it's out of print.
Abner Luiz but he’s far lighter than Tyson he’s like a featherweight
Amazing technique! He really wasn’t the same after Cus passed.
Thanks for sharing!
His training is crazy!! Salute to his teachers/trainers.
His speed that really kills his opponents....super fast for HW imo
I believe he was the best heavyweight of all time.
rahemma smith Joe Louis was
@issyyy_06 Frazier would get ko'd by tyson. The shortest pro fight of mikes career was against marvis who was trained by joe.
No No getting trained by someone and being someone is two different things
@@tynolin8397 marvis was 50% joe frazier.
@@NoNo-dz2it i agree, but not for this reason. Frazier lost to Foreman, who was the hardest puncher out of Frazier Ali and Foreman. Tyson hits not quite as hard, but harder than anyone else in the heavyweight class back then, Foreman nonwithstanding.
That man was pure poetry in incredibly fast and powerful motion.
Talent! Great edit dude.
