Valid Tips, my Coach has been teaching me a mix of Peek a Boo with a lots of Duran's aspects put into it. I think people gotta understand these things about Mike Tyson's Peek A Boo specifically: 1. Obviously Peek A Boo is a very draining fighting style as with the constant shifting and slipping along with counter punching with 110%, so if your fundamentals and cardio isn't up, it's not worth taking into your boxing just yet. 2. A common mistake I see people do and sometimes I fall into is falling into a rhythm when doing the peekaboo slip. No matter how fast you slip, a fast rhythm is still a rhythm, which a good counter puncher can exploit. 3. Last thing people gotta remember is Peek a Boo worked so well for Mike Tyson because of his intimidation mixed in with his inhuman explosiveness, if you don't got those two things, you should try a different style of boxing. However to those using the peekaboo style, don't be discouraged from this video as there is no such thing as an unbeatable style, and every style has its weaknesses and strengths, just some have more exploitable weaknesses than others. In this video the people demonstrating the peekaboo missed the fact that Tyson and Patterson usually their eye level usually down below their opponent's chest or even lower. They also missed it's a whole different game when the peekaboo user is throwing back their power punches. Overall great video, but peek a boo users, do not get discouraged, and keep training!
Hey bro, thank you for the constructive criticism. You bring up good points. If the peek-a-boo works for people, it works for them, but I wanted to open people's eyes to the deficiencies of the stance so they're able to make an educated decision per my previous video before this. There can be a "How to Destroy the Philly Shell" video as well as a "How to Destroy the High Guard" video. There is no perfect stance and all stances have their vulnerabilities. But it is also my opinion that the Peek-a-Boo is a bit more limited than some of the other ones. It just had an absolute beast (Mike Tyson) to be the one to represent it, but not many people can be Mike Tyson.
That PEEKABOO Hitting of the Angles Cus Style lol... slip outside of the opponent's shoulders, because that is where all the punches come from, you need to weave under the elbows as again, that is where the punches come from. Don't focus on your opponents head, as that is not the thing attacking you. Focus on the chest, when the chest Flexis, you Bob, duck... Cus would say. If you Lay in the middle, your head is a target, so Bob, duck... but don't just stay there, your supposed to be hitting, so straight away get to the sides, move left or right and get into that position where you can hit them and they can't hit you, from the side's they can't hit you, so hit them with everything you got, because they can't hurt you. From the side's you have a chance to put in three perfect punches, uppercut hook hook. After you hit, you don't want to just stand there, you need to immediately switch to the next position around the opponent or weave across to the opponents opposite side and hit again, keep the flow going, keep switching, Flanking the opponents sides where he has no defence or offence... you got to be smart, you got to be clever and not get hit, then your a fighter,,,, not getting hit is what the science of boxing is all about, confusing the enemy, taking him out his own comfort zone, making him slow... You got to learn to weather the storm with good head movement, your head is never where the opponent last seen it... Action is faster than reaction, so keep your head in constant motion, control the unpredictable storm coming at you... Footwork, it's all about the hip's lol, plus work off an upside down triangle chalked out on the floor would help you learn to flank the opponents sides, turning southpaw when moving in right side. Understanding how to easily and effortlessly close the distance down to getting to the sides, Stalking the opponent, pressure and smothering your opponents, making them cover up so you can take them unaware, moving very cleverly and effortless to the sides where you can hit them and they can't hit you... avoid, move in and bam bam bam... You need to keep a low centre of gravity, keep low to the ground so you can fire, hit upwards with great power and leverage.. plus from down there, you can see the punches coming. The lower you are, the less of a target you are. In this style, we don't travel straight down the middle of the pipe or in other words, Never Lay in the Middle... but instead instead only travel to the left or right outside angles where they can't hit us back. As they turn to face you, twist or spring.. keep outside of there shoulder, because that is where the power comes from. And when they prepare themselves to reset themselves to face you, hit them half way through there PREPARATION OF ATTACK.. halfway before completion to catch them by surprise. P.s,, Dip or Slip the straight punches coming at you, and weave under the hooks whilst trying to shoot forwards into that left or right outside angle,, flanking the opponents sides... DONT BE AFRAID TO GET TO THE SIDES !!!... There is only one destination you are to be heading in and that destination is OUTSIDE OF THE OPPONENTS SHOULDER and to make sure you STAY OUTSIDE of the opponents shoulder.. because as I may have stated above, the opponents shoulder is where his power comes from to hit you with... but if you are outside of his shoulder, then you are outside of his punching power, thus he has to reset his position to attack you. But as he is resetting his position to get you inside his power, inside his shoulder... you move again your own self, move again outside his shoulder and hit !!!. As stated above, Never Lay in the Middle.. because if you are on the centreline, then you are in the opponents firepower and will get your head taken off.. so the centre, the middle is a NO GO AREA, you never entre inside the centreline... thus again the only destination is Outside The Shoulder by going in a left or right direction after knocking on the front door with your Jab, flanking the opponents weak areas where you can hit them and they cannot hit you, that means GETTING TO THE SIDES !!!, after knocking on the front door with a Jab or a Jab and a follow up rear punch, doing something called MAKE THEM MISS, MAKE THEM PAY !!... what does that mean ? When you Jab, you want to move in behind that Jab... because your moving forwards to your destination... THE SIDES,,,, There is no pecking with the jab back and forth like normal boxers do, no retreating... No, instead when we leave for our destination, that point of getting to the sides where we can hit them and they cannot hit us... we have to press forwards, pressure forwards behind that jab as we knock on the front door,,, but when we follow that up with the right rear hook or straight punch to the head,,, we simultaneously slip left while moving diagonally forwards to the left side of the opponent and at the very same exact time GO THROUGH the opponent with your rear punch... Thus, should the opponent throw a punch at you as you throw that rear hand whilst moving in and getting to the left side,,,, as you left slip simultaneously as you hit... the opponent will miss you with his punch and get hit with your punch at the same time instead !.... Remember, Knock on the Front Door with your Jab, BUT ENTRE THROUGH THE SIDE DOORS !!!... there is nothing for you in the centre, so KEEP OUT !!!... Never Lay In The Middle !!!. This is the Enigma behind the science of Cus D'Amato... these are the fundamental principles behind the style of MIKE TYSON !!!. Kyle Sands :) ....
@@coachpillowfists lmao I suppose that's true. Been going really good coach! Sparring a few times now, I definitely know what I gotta work on. Neglected cardio for far too long so now I'm just focused on making the gas tank better. Need to work on the speedy tappy punches you were talking about in a previous vid. Feels like 4 rounds of heavy bag work is equal to 1 in the ring lol
@@FrontierSetter That's awesome to hear, man! Brooooo, you never really realize how bad your cardio is until you spar 😂. You could do 20 rounds of intensive bagwork a day and still not have enough cardio, but some plain old road work is what makes all the difference. Yes 😂 speedy tappy punches and lots of jabs! Just think the more jabs you throw at them, the less punches they throw at you. Because nothing is more tiring than taking people's punches.
@@FrontierSetterlearning is key to unlock a skill I recommend learning headmovent while walking forward initiating on offense watch a lot of film helps too
Problem I see here is you are only showing your attack. Peek-a-boo by it's nature is throwing a barrage of hard punch from all direction while you are slipping.
@@rbtheballer True, but if you have the power to match the boxer puncher it's game on! Who ever is in the best shape to out work or "out run" the opponent has a good chance of winning.
it could work "in theory" but a skilled peekaboo practitioner could potentially counter this. it depends on how good you are compared to the peekaboo practitioner. I'd consider myself an intermediate-level peekaboo practitioner. I've got a few years of boxing experience but have dedicated the last year to only learning peekaboo. the most common thing I hear people say to me is how they'll just throw jabs at my chest as I can't slip jabs to the chest as it's a bigger target. so all I did to beat that strategy is when they jab to the body or chest I'd bring my arms closer together to block body/chest shots then immediately throw a lead hook (sometimes with the little Tyson-style leap forward if I'm not close enough) and it would catch them about 7/10 times or at least make them lean back to avoid the hook, compromising their stance allowing me to rush them with a quick little combo. it's all about adapting to what your opponent is doing. if they've got good counters for your style just figure out how to counter their counters. every technique has a counter and every counter has a counter. it just comes down to who is the better boxer. but as far as peekaboo counters go, these ideas you've mentioned are most likely the best options to try if you were to attempt to counter the peekaboo style
You’re right that it depends on the fighter and how well a fighter adjusts. And yes, the ability to adjust is key to staying on top. It’s just my opinion that the Peek-a-Boo alone limits your tools too much. In boxing these days, you have to use your hands for a lot more than just punching. As the sports evolve, so must the styles. Peek-a-Boo could definitely work well against some fighters to get inside. It’s your choice to utilize the Peek-a-Boo, and if it works for you, it works for you. Just make sure to have a plan B and C as well.
yea, you right, i called that kind of style, the shield, doing it is faster, just bring the two arms closer to form a shield, covering all the center line of the body from the head to the chest
Everyone, peek-a-boo or not, should know their weaknesses and train those spots/reflexes. You can say that about every style/stance/fighter. And like you pointed out, they "know their own weakness". The fact of the matter is that it's still a weakness. Lastly, weaknesses might not necessarily be exploited at the start because that's when everyone's reflexes and mental focus are at their peak. The "weaknesses" start to really come out later in the fight.
That won’t stop peek a boo style after each slip there will be a counter to knock you out of the combo you are throwing proper style there’s a lot of power in those punches
Love it, coach! Awesome video as always. Had a question for you. I've been boxing now for 10 or 11 months as you know. My coaches keep encouraging me to spar and that they make sure it's a controlled environment where there's as little opportunity for someone to get hurt. I believe them and trust them and really do want to spar. Do you recommend someone like myself who has no plans of competing to get into light sparring? Thanks again for the continued videos, they really do help me in my training and I'm sure they help a ton of other people too!
Hey Troy! Yes you started boxing around the time that I started TH-cam! Fighter gyms typically do tend to push people to spar pretty often. Honestly, I say to go for it man. I wouldn't say every week, but once or twice a month perhaps. There's nothing like sparring, and it'll feel good to utilize all the stuff you've learned (that is if you have disciplined sparring partners and not a-holes). I personally don't spar anymore strictly because I've endured tons of hard sparring since I was a kid, and I could've cared less for my neurological health back then 😆. And light sparring is totally safe and is a lot of fun too! Thank you for your continued support, brotha!
Hey Troy maybe I can tell you from my personal experience: Started boxing with 16 and was there for 2,5 years. Due to a heart condition I was never allowed to fight. This gym did sparing for a few rounds per week only. While I really got down good punching technique and stuff, but did not get too much experience from sparring. After that I transtioned to another kickboxing gym where they spared a lot. Tuesdays we were sparring for a full hour. I improved REALLY fast in just 3 months. I started to get really good. In my opinion sparring is the best way to get better. But not the type where you trying to kill each other, (even though I had those too) but technical/ respectful ones where you try out new things. An environment with little stress to learn. With no egos. Do sparring with a "purpose/aim". Like this time I will work my jab to keep the opponent at distance. Or I will try to land livershots. Or I will work on my headmovement. Or get in inside fighting etc etc. Work one aspect. Don't just stick to things you are already good at to "win rounds" in sparring. Put your ego aside. Beginners are good for trying out new things "safely". I got up to that point I could hang with the fighters. So in my opinion sparring is the best and fastest way to get better. If youre training and drilling football/ soccer but youre never to test matches you never get better at actually playong it either. I hope that helps. Have fun!!!
@@whoknows8223 Really appreciate the long detailed response man. I want to take my game to the next level and I think that means I have to spar. Looking forward to learning and getting pushed. Thanks a ton for the advice and guidance!
Peek-a-boo style was so effective for the prime Mike Tyson not just because of his overwhelming power. But because of his exceptional speed and timing. Not to mention his footwork, changing from one place to another at the blink of an eye and throwing a devastating combination of powerful punches or a one time power counter. Peek-a-boo is a demanding and exhausting style for anyone who chose this fighting style. But bear in mind that the true objective of peek-a-boo is to throw a counter punch in an aggressive way..
@@coachpillowfists I agree. I just wish I could see someone else could master this style as much or better than Mike Tyson had. No one else did it like Mike in his prime to be honest.
Remember that Mike Tyson's peekaboo is an evasive but aggressive counter-punching style. A lot of the issues that were pointed out can be reduced by throwing the jab between slips while approaching, throwing your hooks and body hooks immediately upon closing to prevent the chicken wing push off or any posting/framing, and strategically Damato shifting or shooting to get yourself into or back into position. Also, you have to be explosive and change cadence often or you'll get read like you all demonstrated here.
Yes, but that can be said for boxing/fighting in general with any stance/style. Increasing jab output, timing of the hooks, shifting angles will help anybody out despite their stance.
You're definitely aiming for the people who do not know how to box at all.. let alone someone who actually knows how to employ the peekaboo stance. For one.. Mike Tyson's style of Peekabook in particular (remember Cus had 3 Champions with this style.. Jose Torres and Floyd Patterson were the others-- also keep in mind this was/is a "THROWBACK" style..very important to remember that). One, if you look at prime tyson, he was always moving.. not just his upperbody, he actually was moving his feet also, in addition to implementing the "Cus D'amato" shift; which enabled him to create more angles where he could attack from both sides. One of the most overlooked strengths of the Peekaboo style and the reason why it was most effective for someone of Tyson's stature and abilities, is that it was a MULTI-STANCED style.. so whether he was orthodox or southpaw, he could cause damage. You guys really gotta do your homework when it comes to the Peekaboo Style (which I've studied extensively) because there was alot of nuances that alot of people overlooked.. not just casuals but also supposed "trainers" out here, that look to disprove the style. Right away from the start when you show jabbing to the body.. after the guy slipped 3 times and just stood right in front of you after..lol--- well of course you'll get hit, no shocker there.. but if he would have slipped that third time and shifted ..ie Cus D'amato shift", he would have moved his entire body and angled off to your side when he could counter you, and no longer be in the line of fire for neither your jab or right hand. This is why Mike calls it a "young man's" style and for some people a draw back- because you do have to move constantly, but what i tell people is that just like with any other style, you have to train and condition your body for that type of work. The Peekaboo was literally created to be an exciting style as well as being highly effective, like Cus said.. " you wanna put butts in the seats as well as get paid", which is why Mike to this day still respected as the most exciting fighter and personalities to ever lace 'em up.. he was fearless, dangerous, explosive, violent and very technical with this style, he wasn't a brawler like most like to think. 50 Wins.. 44 of 'em are KOs...and as a "small" heavyweight is still nothin' to sneeze at... not to mention STILL the YOUNGEST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION EVERy using this style ONLY! As a former mma pro and Peekabook practioner myself, I've trained and studied how to improve the style.. as with any style, it does have it's gap...but really mainly if you stray from the fundamentals of it is where the problems set it.. aside from the prison stint..lack of discipline, drugs..etc..-- if you notice, Mike started gettin' hit because he simply wasn't moving his head enough and would stay stationary in front of guys..just like he did against both Evander and Lennox. He did not use his feet, he wasn't bobbin' or weavin'...all crucial components of the style--and he paid the price for it. In my opinion, if i fighter were to use it today.. you would use it similarly to the way mayweather employs the "shoulder roll"-- he goes in and out of it.. only using it in certain situations, then give various looks of it when you employ it so that it isn't as predictable, that was the drawback with MIke, you knew exactly what he would do...lol--however, if he caught you with somethin', you were definitely going "night-night"..lbs.-- and that was his superpower as well, having power in BOTH HANDS! PUNCHERS ARE BORN NOT MADE..and he was definitely a puncher! This style suited him perfectly, which brings me to another point, this style is NOT FOR EVERYBODY! Of course it suits shorter, inside fighters best for obvious reasons...as long as they employ it correctly..utilizing all techniques involved.
On the 1 23, if he would incorporated the shift to your outside and fired the upper cut you were caught, or blocked it, bit def would not have the opportunity to oush him away
Honestly just my opinion, if i use peekaboo which i do, I would really incorporate something from other styles, for example i might also use some parrying, basic blocking and all that stuff, because sometimes it's better to not slip, so if i could make my peekaboo really great and outstanding, i would genuinely add something else to it, rather than just slipping punches, so it becomes like " alright here i think I'm going to take some shortcuts against this guys, and get in the inside, but now for my defence i might parry his punches and throw some powerful cross or a body shot
Yeah if you're gonna use the peek-a-boo in this day and age then it's best to add a little more modern day touches to it instead of trying to fully replicate what worked for Mike Tyson in the 80's.
thank u, now i know how to counter the only counters to my peekaboo style :) also how come other dude threw 0 punches at first. everybody knows its two weaves one jab or cross and one weave hook. also u forgot the dempsy roll in the first half of the video which is one of the most important parts of peekaboo.
When you throw to the body, you are now open for a head shot from the side of the hand which you've just thrown from. This boxing and weaving style is often used to bait out punches and connect with a clean strong counter punch. Mike Tysons style in his prime was very measured and intelligent.
Great video only one thing i did n t see is that most of the time when mike tyson slipped y turn into a southpaw so i was able to counter well . That was a greatest acids from Mike
Peek-A-Boo has other elements that make up the combos, it's not just shaking your head and torso... an example is the shuffle that Mike did after dodging, that alone takes the advantage of your tactic, this tactic It only applies to fighters who only use Peek-A-Boo dodges and is not useful against those who master the style's other techniques. I would like to add that this technique you are teaching is useful against aggressive fighters or those who clown around with their guard down,
Hey man this is a great video I just got back into boxing and I think critiques like this support the development of fighters and my own knowledge I do have a question for you I’ve been studying a fighter called Dwight Muhammad Qawi and I’m struggling to understand his style as a request would you be able to analyse his style ? Thanks
i mean theres more to the peekaboo style then bobiing sidr to side as well they dont just bob there head side to side they can slip bit also weeve down ward for the hooks but yes everything else i agree with
Hey Coach. I'm at the first section. I'm a peek a boo enthusiast mainly for fitness. Yet, when he is slipping, I don't see him, your opponent, trying to close distance. It seems to me that Peekaboo boxers like Mike want to close distance and make it to outside shoulders of their opponent if possible. So, could tou demonstrate against an opponent that constantly has this in mind... closing the distance, advancing, getting inside, getting to the opponent's outside shoulder?
Hey bro, thank you for the professional approach in your comment. I see your point. Primarily this is because I'm trying to squeeze this all into a short 3 minute video and didn't have all the space. In regards to my points such as the body jab, my point remains the same. The body jab is to deter the opponent from moving in on you in the first place or to catch them as they approach. However, if they're already in the mid range or inside with you, it would be too late to employ that tactic at that point. I teach the tools needed. It's up to you as the practitioner to be able to perform it under pressure in a live situation.
What I like to do against peekaboo folk and the like is to push their shoulder down and try to collapse my weight on their head (Klitschko style) and wait for the ref. Another thing I learned from Klitschko and Loma is to literally pull down one of their gloves then (you see where I’m going with this...) just try to wallop them with a hook or overhand in the opening
You must be a tall guy 😆. Pulling guard is a good move, but because they often have their hands stuck against their face, it might be a bit more difficult to get a grip on their hand unless perhaps you pull it horizontally from the side.
Homie was making some contact on those check hooks. I was worried Chris was going to have some Korean Bull flashbacks...and that Bruce Banner-to-Hulk switch was going to get flipped!!!
Im 5'9 my opponent is 5'4 and I cannot handle his peekaboo. His only vulnerable part is his forehead but if I manage to hit him there he will just continue to close in and shower me with body shots, due to me being taller I have a hard time in reaching his body. Throwing a hook is also risky since if I miss I am dead.
Also pushing/shoving is technically illegall, and although some refs may allow it..others may deduct points because it is illegal. An odd recommendation..it would be like recommending measuring an opponent with the jab, choking with the forearm, or a number of illegal holds. Good to know, potentially dangerous to rely on depending on the ref and the star power of the boxer....not everyone is Floyd Mayaeather.
Technically yes, they are illegal maneuvers on paper. Regardless, bumping and framing are tactics used in boxing and have become more prevalent in boxing over time. You most likely won’t get away with it in the amateurs, but if utilized correctly, you can make good use of it in the pros, as does many pros today.
I think now I'm no expert, but I thought with the peek-a-boo style you slip under not go over or just dodging kinda like a widened u shaped also I think the hands are closer together to protect shots to the chest but again I am no expert just some things I think not 100% sure though the way I use it is gloves cover mouth slip under to dodge then punch to liver/ribs or really just anywhere in the stomach and if you can get it in go for an uppercut with all your strength also another thing is with the peek-a-boo you have to have a strong stomach that can take punches your arms cover your ribs and liver so your protected every but your abdomen if they go for a punch to like the top of your head like at your eyes you just raise your gloves to block it (plus getting hit at the forehead doesn't really hurt anyway) and the whole point (not really but it's an important aspect of it) of weaving is to slip under that side head punch because when they go for that it leaves them open to a slip counter so when you go for that "mistake" spot they use their own "mistake" against you because going for that area leaves you extremely open. Just my thoughts no hate intended love you guys let me know if I'm wrong lol.
Hey Sam, I don't necessarily agree with some of the points you made here, but that's alright! Too much for me to explain here in a comment. Thank you for the input!
Nice tips. I would throw a lot of feints and yes go the the body on somebody with a lot of headmovement. The framing tip was new to me. Coach can you do a video on like 3-5 best ab exercises for boxers (one can do at home so no med ball slams😂 neighbours will kill me). Whats yields best results for ab strength? Standing ab roll outs? Dynamic ones? Static ones like holds? Abs are so important for power in the punches. Would be an interesting topic.
Yes, feints are critical in any situation! Getting them moving their head from feints to the head then BAM to the body 👊🏽. I'll certainly put that on my list of videos. It'll be good for me to take a break on punching tutorials while my shoulder is healing. And you bring up a good point! Many people don't realize how important that ab/core strength is for your punches/movement. Always appreciated! 👌🏽
@@coachpillowfists looking forward! On a side note I heard people cured their shoulder joint pain/problems by simply hanging on a pullupbar regularly: th-cam.com/users/shorts1piRJldcAwg?feature=share3

The coach here isn’t even saying it will work 100 percent for all peekaboo. It’s some thing can be exploited when it can. What, because Tyson can counter it, so these counters are useless and wrong??? And coach should not be teaching these “wrong” stuffs???
His athleticism was impenetrable, but the stance itself definitely has flaws. I explain why in more detail here: th-cam.com/video/inAigejCB8U/w-d-xo.html
Everything is very relative and subjective. But, in this video, I only see mistakes. It seems you don't know deeply about the Peekaboo style. It's designed for counterpunching, to provoke you to throw your punches, and when you do, it's the beginning of your end.
Why are you guys such haters? If someone wants to master a style why not? Doesn’t mean we are mike Tyson , nobody can match that. But this style is meant for a shorter stocky fighter what’s wrong with that??
I might be able to find someone on the street for that, but a legitimate active boxer in a boxing gym who uses the peek-a-boo is nearly impossible to find. It's just not a stance that legit fighters use anymore.
The peekaboo was designed to counter by using angles to open up your opponent to combinations by using angles and quick foot movements and to stay off line so you dont get hit by counters. Real peekaboo fighters dont just move their head in a predictable pattern, the bobbing and weaving only happens when the opponent is punching. Theres alot involved with the true peekaboo style, not just bobbing and weaving in a predictable pattern. Hops to the side, twists, cutting the ring off, if someone executes the peekaboo style properly it looks nothing like the guy in the video😂
Shakur Stevenson vs Oscar Valdez and Andre Ward vs Arthur Abraham(to some degree) can be decent fights to look at for this. Kur' would use his lead hand to probe Oscar's guard. Limiting his vision then piece him up while controlling distance. Dre would use stiff jabs to the guard and body. Then use combination punching to split the guard. Dre would also get rugged on the inside with Arthur. After watching the video, I saw points mentioned here on those fights. Specially how they manipulate the head via pawing jab
Hey Adrian! Haven't seen Ward vs Abraham, but Shakur vs Valdez was beautiful work. I think Shakur is quite possibly the best boxer right now in terms of boxing ability pound for pound. Always great to hear your input! Thanks bro!
@@coachpillowfistsFrank Martin is actually more proven in the division that Kur who just had 1. The way he pieced up Rivera is just sooooo good. The recent fiasco Shakur pulled off made me look at him funny lol
Theirs this kid who really wants to spar me he’s a big kid who loves Mike Tyson but he had a very extremely ego and he what ever thing he does is right apparently not to mention wanting to do full force sparring which is dumb and his fighting style like I said is peak a boo is probably the most annoying thing he does he dips his head so low to the point where he is literally at his knees and the second he corners you he just starts pummeling you until he’s tired and not to mention he’s like what? 190? 195? While I’m like 175 almost heading to 160 and he wants to spar me so badly
Keep focusing on your goals. That’s all that matters. Don’t let other people’s arrogance get in the way of that. He’ll get his slice of humble pie one day.
Exactly the guy with peekaboo not only be slipping all the time while he'll be slipping and punching also, shifts, switches, stance switching there are so many things. When you frame him while bobbing and weaving, you are already opening your body for a body shot.
We were once sparring mma, guy tried peek a boo and i kicked him in the head, the guy after tried to argue that he said only boxing like who the fxck comes to an mma gym only to box
Yeah idk what the prior agreement was in this situation because I've done pure boxing spars at MMA gyms before but I get your point. Idk if you were wearing shin guards but that should be a good indicator to someone to watch out for kicks.
That body punch would leave you well and truly open to an overhand counter. Tyson is very, very comfortable and practiced in peekaboo boxing, you wouldn't get him with this.
i mean.....i get what you trying to say....if anybody really that dumb enough to just slip inside like a rocker...its easy to read....but a real peekaboo artist is launching punches while getting close...so you not gonna be able to read slips...you gonna have to read punches too...and know hwere they going next....he made the peekaboo look so basic and rudimentary..
I get what you're trying to say as well. When a coach teaches a technique (for any sport whether it's wrestling, karate, boxing), likely the partner is not going to be punching, kicking, shooting for a double leg, right? Otherwise the students are not going to understand the main point of the technique because there's too much going on. For educational purposes, you have to simplify things, and in this case whether the opposition is throwing punches or not, I'm pointing out the holes that can be exploited. Obviously a live situation such as a fight or a spar will be a whole different ball game as with any art. Yeah, I probably could've told my partner to give me bit more live resistance, but I honestly wasn't thinking about that. I was more focused on showing my main points in a short and concise video. Thank you for your input though.
@@coachpillowfists respect. I wasn’t trying to be a contrarian, but I get what you saying in some folks really who just do the slip from side to side….thinkin a mf can’t read that….its supposed to be unpredictable…so I’m saying they doing the peekaboo wrong…but like you said every fighting style has a counter….. I solely was speaking to the ones who did the peekaboo correctly….its aggressive and they launching…but there are folks who just do what your assistant did up here… Just was offering a bit of pushback, but no disrespect at all to what you were saying because the stomach for surely is open…I think it worked for Tyson cuz he was short going against taller fighters, so the taller ones would have to get lower then Tyson to exploit that, but to do that, they WIDE open…I noticed it cuz I’m 6’4 doing peekaboo..and I’m like damn….my torso open then a mf lmao
@@R.E.I.Rich88 I know bro you didn't have malicious intent. That's why I responded, but respect to you too. You have some good input here, and I can't believe you're using the peek-a-boo at 6'4" 😂. But yeah, the short versus tall thing definitely played a factor in his game. I also believe his crazy athleticism made it work too, and the era (because nowadays as the sport evolves, there's more tools, styles, and counters to things). But hey this is boxing, and everyone is entitled to their beliefs/opinions 👌🏽.
@@coachpillowfists yea I ain’t a pro by no means…but I’m decent with these things though lol….in my mind, I’m lookin at it from a big man perspective….taller…bigger dudes rely more on throwing haymakers….slug fest, heavier on their feet…..very little movement, I already got the power from my extensive lifting background…so explosiveness and being shifty is what I primarily focus on….and being fluid and sharp with the peekaboo or a modified version I should say with my size and strength I see as giving me the advantage over my counterpart…. From working on the explosiveness and mobility….i see it coming together…but I ain’t been officially trained long enough to say it’s a for sure guarantee in the ring…it’s all speculation…but I am able to see some holes in some fighters fighting…so idk.. By no means bragging but I have been asked at my gym if I train…how long I been training…..and if I was pro already….NOT saying that I know what I’m talking about, but in the sense of how I been training…must be hittin on something…. You seem like you got more the decorated experience so I’m just asking questions…but naw I’m by no means trying to be like Mike..it’s impossible, we 2 completely different sizes…I got advantages that he ain’t got and vice versa…it’s more so taking what applies from Cus and throwing it in the arsenal
@@R.E.I.Rich88 Interesting, thank you bro. Maybe take a shot at training at a legit gym. Doesn't hurt to try. Or you say you can see holes and things so maybe look to go a trainer route. I don't think trainers like Eddy Reynoso or Bomac McIntyre have any amateur or pro experience, but they're top level trainers.
I would say never count out any specific punch. Anybody is susceptible to any punch including body jabs unless they're a superhuman. It's about how well the practitioner is at defending it regardless of what stance/style they employ. That's what makes boxing a chess match.
Peakaboo stance is protecting the body while leaving the head pretty much open and using lateral movement and head movement, dunno why in this video you seemed to be doing the opposite, also I have never seen a peakboo fighter walk over to their opponent while weaving left and right, they move around the ring like any other boxer the never do that left and right shit while the opponent is standing there they do it after he throws a punch.
Watch this video closely. You never saw Mike Tyson then the grandmaster of peekaboo. He is exactly doing the weaving left and right while going forward to close the distance as a shorter fighterlike Coach Pillowfist demonstrated in this video (or how you call it "do that left and right shit"). Also going to the body is the answer for opponents with excessive headmovement, because while the head moves the body remains a relatively stationary target to hit. You would know if you know boxing.
The peek-a-boo stance immobilizes your guard to a fixated position. I don't think that's good for neither the head or the body. In terms of your comment about moving around the ring, my videos are to get straight to the point. In order to get straight to the point, I'm not going to show me moving around the ring because the point is strictly in regards to a peek-a-boo fighter coming in. So I'm only going to show the part where the fighter is coming in. Also, the peek-a-boo stance is not necessarily a lateral movement type of stance. The stance is centered on getting inside and throwing power punches. Have you ever seen Mike Tyson be a lateral mover? Looks to me like he either comes forward or stays put, idk about you. Lastly, the footage you've seen was for demonstration purposes, not a live spar/fight so keep that in mind.
Mike Tyson used three techniques for slipping (that I know of) let’s say the opponent punches him and he slips to the right, he will use that movement for momentum and to generate power from his legs as he comes up and attack him with a powerful punch. In the second technique he would dash in whatever direction he’s slipping in all in one movement, well he’s always dashing and side stepping to the right or left anyways, even in punch combinations as simple as a 1-2. And finally, in the third technique, he would use that slip to get to the side where the opponent cannot hit back. I have no idea how you would come to the conclusion that he does not use lateral movement so I will just ignore whatever you said about that.
1. I’m talking pre prison Tyson 2. Mike Tyson does close the distance but not while weaving left and right that is way too predictable and only peakaboo fighters such as Floyd Patterson did that 3. Mike Tyson does not stand with his guard in a fixated position after slipping, he slips the second punch, and the third, and the fourth or he does what I have said in my previous comment. Now I want you to watch any video of young Mike Tyson and please reply to my comment after, what does he do after slipping, is his guard in a fixated position or not? And also how does he close the gap, does he weave left and right like the so called “grandmasters of peakaboo” or not? Remember, I’m waiting for an answer
Don’t understand all these devout worshippers of peekaboo here. Why not just mix all guards and all stances and use whenever. What’s soooo difficult about such a brainlessly obvious strategy. Saying you only wanna peekaboo or you only wanna Philly shell is like saying. I only wanna jab and I only wanna jab to the head!! Why even learn the cross or the upper cut???
How about don’t learn anything then. Since your stupid slip a jab and throw a cross can easily be countered by a jab cross. Or you raising your cross to block the jab could result in you being lead hooked, so stop teaching people to block a jab just DONT block. Finally just stand there. Since everything can be counters. Stand there don’t punch don’t block don’t move! And just win!!!!
keep your guard up, you lowered it at 1:43 , OKAY THIS GUY IS NOT A GOOD COACH HE CLEARLY CANT KEEP HIS GUARD UP AND HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING, HE COULD HAVE KNOCKED THIS "COACHES" BUTT ONTO THE FLOOR LIKE 10 TIMES BY NOW AND PUSHING ISNT LEGAL IN BOXING. ANOTHER EDIT TO MY COMMENT 3:18 YOUR SIDE IS WIDE OPEN YOU SHOULD KEPE YOUR GUARD UP, HE COULD PUMMEL YOUR SIDE BEFORE YOU EVEN HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO ANY OF THAT.
Very unaffective tips, for example with the nudges you explained, your wide open to a body shot which especially with doing so with your right hand, unless quick enough its going to be a bad day for you when your liver gets mushed up
my brother, watch some film on D'amato's fighters. neither of you are showing any semblance of the "peekaboo" style. see if Floyd Patterson was as stiff as you two were. following drills like this is just plain wrong to your viewers
releasing your body blow to that slip? i can easy give you right hook that will pin you down. You can't destroy the peekaboo by throwing that body shot cause when we attack the core engage so no matter how hard you blow on that mid section are useless. Every body has a plan until they get punch in their mouth. Much better try to find a peekaboo practitioner and spar with him to see if your theory will work or not. better to see that on your next video, how did you destroyed the peekaboo. even to not a pure peekaboo fighter like isaac pitbull.
So basically what you're saying is to not throw body shots against a peek-a-boo fighter because you claim that it's useless due to the amount of core work a peek-a-boo fighter implements. I see.
th-cam.com/users/shortsVz_4s_VDjaI?si=Mh9H8qwX0ZA6Kv2u Don't tell me Reggie Gross didn't do his assignment? you said one of those punch will gets in. How about Gross combo, what can you say, punches in bunches but non of them connected.
You can destroy rhat guy because his not real peekaboo. If you are fighting with the real peekaboo you ain't no chance to do all your show case stunts!😂😂😂😂 you are a funny guy!😅😅😅😅
You’re going to get people out in the hospital 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so much wrong with this one a peek a boo fighter who really do it not going to go straight forward. 2 a peek a boo fighter that really do it not going to do a hundred slip if they’re not under your armpit smelling what type of deodorant you’re wearing by atleast the second slip they’re a peek a boo fighter lol 3 you frame they’re just going to step off the side opposite of the frame and blast you while you have that frame arm out . A real peek a boo fighter wants you to have this false sense of security and bang with them you’re playing their game 🤣 . Good luck to anyone that does any of this
1) No single fighter goes straight forward all the time. Virtually everyone has some type of lateral movement, but I still stand with my points. 2) It's not that easy to get inside on someone. A decent opponent has some level of distance management and can usually take a back step or 2. I understand what you're saying though, and the example I point out in the video is primarily aimed at the slipping drill Mike Tyson does with his coach. 3) I'm not sure if you've ever been framed by a legitimate fighter before, but the point of it is to disrupt/obstruct your movement. Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to simply step off to the side or freely throw an effective punch. It's okay that we differ in opinions. It's boxing. I checked out your profile and I thank you for your service in law enforcement. And I respect any man who is a devoted father. Thank you for your comment.
Valid Tips, my Coach has been teaching me a mix of Peek a Boo with a lots of Duran's aspects put into it. I think people gotta understand these things about Mike Tyson's Peek A Boo specifically:
1. Obviously Peek A Boo is a very draining fighting style as with the constant shifting and slipping along with counter punching with 110%, so if your fundamentals and cardio isn't up, it's not worth taking into your boxing just yet.
2. A common mistake I see people do and sometimes I fall into is falling into a rhythm when doing the peekaboo slip. No matter how fast you slip, a fast rhythm is still a rhythm, which a good counter puncher can exploit.
3. Last thing people gotta remember is Peek a Boo worked so well for Mike Tyson because of his intimidation mixed in with his inhuman explosiveness, if you don't got those two things, you should try a different style of boxing.
However to those using the peekaboo style, don't be discouraged from this video as there is no such thing as an unbeatable style, and every style has its weaknesses and strengths, just some have more exploitable weaknesses than others. In this video the people demonstrating the peekaboo missed the fact that Tyson and Patterson usually their eye level usually down below their opponent's chest or even lower. They also missed it's a whole different game when the peekaboo user is throwing back their power punches. Overall great video, but peek a boo users, do not get discouraged, and keep training!
Hey bro, thank you for the constructive criticism. You bring up good points. If the peek-a-boo works for people, it works for them, but I wanted to open people's eyes to the deficiencies of the stance so they're able to make an educated decision per my previous video before this. There can be a "How to Destroy the Philly Shell" video as well as a "How to Destroy the High Guard" video. There is no perfect stance and all stances have their vulnerabilities. But it is also my opinion that the Peek-a-Boo is a bit more limited than some of the other ones. It just had an absolute beast (Mike Tyson) to be the one to represent it, but not many people can be Mike Tyson.
That PEEKABOO Hitting of the Angles Cus Style lol... slip outside of the opponent's shoulders, because that is where all the punches come from, you need to weave under the elbows as again, that is where the punches come from. Don't focus on your opponents head, as that is not the thing attacking you. Focus on the chest, when the chest Flexis, you Bob, duck... Cus would say. If you Lay in the middle, your head is a target, so Bob, duck... but don't just stay there, your supposed to be hitting, so straight away get to the sides, move left or right and get into that position where you can hit them and they can't hit you, from the side's they can't hit you, so hit them with everything you got, because they can't hurt you. From the side's you have a chance to put in three perfect punches, uppercut hook hook. After you hit, you don't want to just stand there, you need to immediately switch to the next position around the opponent or weave across to the opponents opposite side and hit again, keep the flow going, keep switching, Flanking the opponents sides where he has no defence or offence... you got to be smart, you got to be clever and not get hit, then your a fighter,,,, not getting hit is what the science of boxing is all about, confusing the enemy, taking him out his own comfort zone, making him slow... You got to learn to weather the storm with good head movement, your head is never where the opponent last seen it... Action is faster than reaction, so keep your head in constant motion, control the unpredictable storm coming at you... Footwork, it's all about the hip's lol, plus work off an upside down triangle chalked out on the floor would help you learn to flank the opponents sides, turning southpaw when moving in right side. Understanding how to easily and effortlessly close the distance down to getting to the sides, Stalking the opponent, pressure and smothering your opponents, making them cover up so you can take them unaware, moving very cleverly and effortless to the sides where you can hit them and they can't hit you... avoid, move in and bam bam bam... You need to keep a low centre of gravity, keep low to the ground so you can fire, hit upwards with great power and leverage.. plus from down there, you can see the punches coming. The lower you are, the less of a target you are. In this style, we don't travel straight down the middle of the pipe or in other words, Never Lay in the Middle... but instead instead only travel to the left or right outside angles where they can't hit us back. As they turn to face you, twist or spring.. keep outside of there shoulder, because that is where the power comes from. And when they prepare themselves to reset themselves to face you, hit them half way through there PREPARATION OF ATTACK.. halfway before completion to catch them by surprise. P.s,, Dip or Slip the straight punches coming at you, and weave under the hooks whilst trying to shoot forwards into that left or right outside angle,, flanking the opponents sides... DONT BE AFRAID TO GET TO THE SIDES !!!... There is only one destination you are to be heading in and that destination is OUTSIDE OF THE OPPONENTS SHOULDER and to make sure you STAY OUTSIDE of the opponents shoulder.. because as I may have stated above, the opponents shoulder is where his power comes from to hit you with... but if you are outside of his shoulder, then you are outside of his punching power, thus he has to reset his position to attack you. But as he is resetting his position to get you inside his power, inside his shoulder... you move again your own self, move again outside his shoulder and hit !!!. As stated above, Never Lay in the Middle.. because if you are on the centreline, then you are in the opponents firepower and will get your head taken off.. so the centre, the middle is a NO GO AREA, you never entre inside the centreline... thus again the only destination is Outside The Shoulder by going in a left or right direction after knocking on the front door with your Jab, flanking the opponents weak areas where you can hit them and they cannot hit you, that means GETTING TO THE SIDES !!!, after knocking on the front door with a Jab or a Jab and a follow up rear punch, doing something called MAKE THEM MISS, MAKE THEM PAY !!... what does that mean ? When you Jab, you want to move in behind that Jab... because your moving forwards to your destination... THE SIDES,,,, There is no pecking with the jab back and forth like normal boxers do, no retreating... No, instead when we leave for our destination, that point of getting to the sides where we can hit them and they cannot hit us... we have to press forwards, pressure forwards behind that jab as we knock on the front door,,, but when we follow that up with the right rear hook or straight punch to the head,,, we simultaneously slip left while moving diagonally forwards to the left side of the opponent and at the very same exact time GO THROUGH the opponent with your rear punch... Thus, should the opponent throw a punch at you as you throw that rear hand whilst moving in and getting to the left side,,,, as you left slip simultaneously as you hit... the opponent will miss you with his punch and get hit with your punch at the same time instead !.... Remember, Knock on the Front Door with your Jab, BUT ENTRE THROUGH THE SIDE DOORS !!!... there is nothing for you in the centre, so KEEP OUT !!!... Never Lay In The Middle !!!. This is the Enigma behind the science of Cus D'Amato... these are the fundamental principles behind the style of MIKE TYSON !!!. Kyle Sands :) ....

@@coachpillowfists lmao I suppose that's true. Been going really good coach! Sparring a few times now, I definitely know what I gotta work on.

Feels like 4 rounds of heavy bag work is equal to 1 in the ring lol
@@FrontierSetter That's awesome to hear, man! Brooooo, you never really realize how bad your cardio is until you spar 😂. You could do 20 rounds of intensive bagwork a day and still not have enough cardio, but some plain old road work is what makes all the difference. Yes 😂 speedy tappy punches and lots of jabs! Just think the more jabs you throw at them, the less punches they throw at you. Because nothing is more tiring than taking people's punches.
@@FrontierSetterlearning is key to unlock a skill I recommend learning headmovent while walking forward initiating on offense watch a lot of film helps too
@@FrontierSetter add more slipping in your bag work or shadow boxing, usually slipping and footwork makes people exhausted not the punching.
Problem I see here is you are only showing your attack. Peek-a-boo by it's nature is throwing a barrage of hard punch from all direction while you are slipping.
Mind teaching?
Read my comments.
Which also opens you up for a lot more counters especially with a boxer puncher that can punch on the move.
@@rbtheballer True, but if you have the power to match the boxer puncher it's game on! Who ever is in the best shape to out work or "out run" the opponent has a good chance of winning.

Coach! This was awesome! I'm a tall guy who has to deal with the Peek-a-boo style from shorter stockier more explosive guys at my gym. Great tactics!
I'm glad it helps brotha! I hope it works out well for you! 🥊👌🏽
it could work "in theory" but a skilled peekaboo practitioner could potentially counter this. it depends on how good you are compared to the peekaboo practitioner. I'd consider myself an intermediate-level peekaboo practitioner. I've got a few years of boxing experience but have dedicated the last year to only learning peekaboo. the most common thing I hear people say to me is how they'll just throw jabs at my chest as I can't slip jabs to the chest as it's a bigger target. so all I did to beat that strategy is when they jab to the body or chest I'd bring my arms closer together to block body/chest shots then immediately throw a lead hook (sometimes with the little Tyson-style leap forward if I'm not close enough) and it would catch them about 7/10 times or at least make them lean back to avoid the hook, compromising their stance allowing me to rush them with a quick little combo. it's all about adapting to what your opponent is doing. if they've got good counters for your style just figure out how to counter their counters. every technique has a counter and every counter has a counter. it just comes down to who is the better boxer. but as far as peekaboo counters go, these ideas you've mentioned are most likely the best options to try if you were to attempt to counter the peekaboo style
You’re right that it depends on the fighter and how well a fighter adjusts. And yes, the ability to adjust is key to staying on top. It’s just my opinion that the Peek-a-Boo alone limits your tools too much. In boxing these days, you have to use your hands for a lot more than just punching. As the sports evolve, so must the styles. Peek-a-Boo could definitely work well against some fighters to get inside. It’s your choice to utilize the Peek-a-Boo, and if it works for you, it works for you. Just make sure to have a plan B and C as well.
yea, you right, i called that kind of style, the shield, doing it is faster, just bring the two arms closer to form a shield, covering all the center line of the body from the head to the chest
But I dont think this is too accurate though, peekaboo style users also know their own weakness and train those spots and reflexes for counters.
that's what im doing 💯💯
Everyone, peek-a-boo or not, should know their weaknesses and train those spots/reflexes. You can say that about every style/stance/fighter. And like you pointed out, they "know their own weakness". The fact of the matter is that it's still a weakness. Lastly, weaknesses might not necessarily be exploited at the start because that's when everyone's reflexes and mental focus are at their peak. The "weaknesses" start to really come out later in the fight.
Framing ftw, thnx coach! 🙌
Thank you brotha! 👊🏽
That won’t stop peek a boo style after each slip there will be a counter to knock you out of the combo you are throwing proper style there’s a lot of power in those punches
Love it, coach! Awesome video as always.
Had a question for you. I've been boxing now for 10 or 11 months as you know. My coaches keep encouraging me to spar and that they make sure it's a controlled environment where there's as little opportunity for someone to get hurt. I believe them and trust them and really do want to spar.
Do you recommend someone like myself who has no plans of competing to get into light sparring?
Thanks again for the continued videos, they really do help me in my training and I'm sure they help a ton of other people too!
Hey Troy! Yes you started boxing around the time that I started TH-cam! Fighter gyms typically do tend to push people to spar pretty often. Honestly, I say to go for it man. I wouldn't say every week, but once or twice a month perhaps. There's nothing like sparring, and it'll feel good to utilize all the stuff you've learned (that is if you have disciplined sparring partners and not a-holes). I personally don't spar anymore strictly because I've endured tons of hard sparring since I was a kid, and I could've cared less for my neurological health back then 😆. And light sparring is totally safe and is a lot of fun too! Thank you for your continued support, brotha!
Hey Troy maybe I can tell you from my personal experience:
Started boxing with 16 and was there for 2,5 years. Due to a heart condition I was never allowed to fight. This gym did sparing for a few rounds per week only. While I really got down good punching technique and stuff, but did not get too much experience from sparring.
After that I transtioned to another kickboxing gym where they spared a lot. Tuesdays we were sparring for a full hour. I improved REALLY fast in just 3 months. I started to get really good.
In my opinion sparring is the best way to get better. But not the type where you trying to kill each other, (even though I had those too) but technical/ respectful ones where you try out new things. An environment with little stress to learn. With no egos. Do sparring with a "purpose/aim". Like this time I will work my jab to keep the opponent at distance. Or I will try to land livershots. Or I will work on my headmovement. Or get in inside fighting etc etc. Work one aspect. Don't just stick to things you are already good at to "win rounds" in sparring. Put your ego aside.
Beginners are good for trying out new things "safely".
I got up to that point I could hang with the fighters.
So in my opinion sparring is the best and fastest way to get better.
If youre training and drilling football/ soccer but youre never to test matches you never get better at actually playong it either.
I hope that helps. Have fun!!!
@@coachpillowfists Really appreciate it, coach. Going to take up some light sparring and will report back haha
@@whoknows8223 Really appreciate the long detailed response man. I want to take my game to the next level and I think that means I have to spar. Looking forward to learning and getting pushed.
Thanks a ton for the advice and guidance!
By the second wave you already got hit in the liver ,this jab to the body don't do any damage at first ,just produce a faster counter attack
Peek-a-boo style was so effective for the prime Mike Tyson not just because of his overwhelming power. But because of his exceptional speed and timing. Not to mention his footwork, changing from one place to another at the blink of an eye and throwing a devastating combination of powerful punches or a one time power counter. Peek-a-boo is a demanding and exhausting style for anyone who chose this fighting style. But bear in mind that the true objective of peek-a-boo is to throw a counter punch in an aggressive way..
Thank you for your input. Mike Tyson had superior athleticism and that's a huge reason this style worked so well for him in his prime.
@@coachpillowfists I agree. I just wish I could see someone else could master this style as much or better than Mike Tyson had. No one else did it like Mike in his prime to be honest.
@@jonaspelino7896 the peekaboo being a new style of fighting was a huge factor too, people didnt know how to beat it yet.
Good point!
Could you show us your techniques against a boxer that is training the peek-a-boo style.
Thanks for giving me tips to evolve my Peekaboo lil bro 😂
Respect the peek a boo style
Remember that Mike Tyson's peekaboo is an evasive but aggressive counter-punching style. A lot of the issues that were pointed out can be reduced by throwing the jab between slips while approaching, throwing your hooks and body hooks immediately upon closing to prevent the chicken wing push off or any posting/framing, and strategically Damato shifting or shooting to get yourself into or back into position. Also, you have to be explosive and change cadence often or you'll get read like you all demonstrated here.
Yes, but that can be said for boxing/fighting in general with any stance/style. Increasing jab output, timing of the hooks, shifting angles will help anybody out despite their stance.
You're definitely aiming for the people who do not know how to box at all.. let alone someone who actually knows how to employ the peekaboo stance. For one.. Mike Tyson's style of Peekabook in particular (remember Cus had 3 Champions with this style.. Jose Torres and Floyd Patterson were the others-- also keep in mind this was/is a "THROWBACK" style..very important to remember that). One, if you look at prime tyson, he was always moving.. not just his upperbody, he actually was moving his feet also, in addition to implementing the "Cus D'amato" shift; which enabled him to create more angles where he could attack from both sides. One of the most overlooked strengths of the Peekaboo style and the reason why it was most effective for someone of Tyson's stature and abilities, is that it was a MULTI-STANCED style.. so whether he was orthodox or southpaw, he could cause damage. You guys really gotta do your homework when it comes to the Peekaboo Style (which I've studied extensively) because there was alot of nuances that alot of people overlooked.. not just casuals but also supposed "trainers" out here, that look to disprove the style. Right away from the start when you show jabbing to the body.. after the guy slipped 3 times and just stood right in front of you after..lol--- well of course you'll get hit, no shocker there.. but if he would have slipped that third time and shifted ..ie Cus D'amato shift", he would have moved his entire body and angled off to your side when he could counter you, and no longer be in the line of fire for neither your jab or right hand. This is why Mike calls it a "young man's" style and for some people a draw back- because you do have to move constantly, but what i tell people is that just like with any other style, you have to train and condition your body for that type of work. The Peekaboo was literally created to be an exciting style as well as being highly effective, like Cus said.. " you wanna put butts in the seats as well as get paid", which is why Mike to this day still respected as the most exciting fighter and personalities to ever lace 'em up.. he was fearless, dangerous, explosive, violent and very technical with this style, he wasn't a brawler like most like to think. 50 Wins.. 44 of 'em are KOs...and as a "small" heavyweight is still nothin' to sneeze at... not to mention STILL the YOUNGEST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION EVERy using this style ONLY! As a former mma pro and Peekabook practioner myself, I've trained and studied how to improve the style.. as with any style, it does have it's gap...but really mainly if you stray from the fundamentals of it is where the problems set it.. aside from the prison stint..lack of discipline, drugs..etc..-- if you notice, Mike started gettin' hit because he simply wasn't moving his head enough and would stay stationary in front of guys..just like he did against both Evander and Lennox. He did not use his feet, he wasn't bobbin' or weavin'...all crucial components of the style--and he paid the price for it. In my opinion, if i fighter were to use it today.. you would use it similarly to the way mayweather employs the "shoulder roll"-- he goes in and out of it.. only using it in certain situations, then give various looks of it when you employ it so that it isn't as predictable, that was the drawback with MIke, you knew exactly what he would do...lol--however, if he caught you with somethin', you were definitely going "night-night"..lbs.-- and that was his superpower as well, having power in BOTH HANDS! PUNCHERS ARE BORN NOT MADE..and he was definitely a puncher! This style suited him perfectly, which brings me to another point, this style is NOT FOR EVERYBODY! Of course it suits shorter, inside fighters best for obvious reasons...as long as they employ it correctly..utilizing all techniques involved.
On the 1 23, if he would incorporated the shift to your outside and fired the upper cut you were caught, or blocked it, bit def would not have the opportunity to oush him away
Great coach, hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷😁🥊
Thank you Pedro! 🙏🏽🇧🇷
Honestly just my opinion, if i use peekaboo which i do, I would really incorporate something from other styles, for example i might also use some parrying, basic blocking and all that stuff, because sometimes it's better to not slip, so if i could make my peekaboo really great and outstanding, i would genuinely add something else to it, rather than just slipping punches, so it becomes like " alright here i think I'm going to take some shortcuts against this guys, and get in the inside, but now for my defence i might parry his punches and throw some powerful cross or a body shot
Yeah if you're gonna use the peek-a-boo in this day and age then it's best to add a little more modern day touches to it instead of trying to fully replicate what worked for Mike Tyson in the 80's.
Incredible
Thank you!
thank u, now i know how to counter the only counters to my peekaboo style :) also how come other dude threw 0 punches at first. everybody knows its two weaves one jab or cross and one weave hook. also u forgot the dempsy roll in the first half of the video which is one of the most important parts of peekaboo.
When you throw to the body, you are now open for a head shot from the side of the hand which you've just thrown from. This boxing and weaving style is often used to bait out punches and connect with a clean strong counter punch. Mike Tysons style in his prime was very measured and intelligent.
Great video only one thing i did n t see is that most of the time when mike tyson slipped y turn into a southpaw so i was able to counter well . That was a greatest acids from
Mike
Thank you! I tried to keep things simplified. 👍🏽
Peek-A-Boo has other elements that make up the combos, it's not just shaking your head and torso... an example is the shuffle that Mike did after dodging, that alone takes the advantage of your tactic, this tactic It only applies to fighters who only use Peek-A-Boo dodges and is not useful against those who master the style's other techniques.
I would like to add that this technique you are teaching is useful against aggressive fighters or those who clown around with their guard down,
Also what I noticed some guys I spar with that are learning this style they run out of gas because this style is physically taxing.
It most definitely is!
Hey man this is a great video I just got back into boxing and I think critiques like this support the development of fighters and my own knowledge I do have a question for you I’ve been studying a fighter called Dwight Muhammad Qawi and I’m struggling to understand his style as a request would you be able to analyse his style ? Thanks
Thank you! I'm not familiar with Dwight Muhammad Qawi, but I'll see if I get some time to watch his stuff to see if I can do a video on it.
@@coachpillowfists thanks man I appreciate it
@@owenwright4927 You're welcome!
i mean theres more to the peekaboo style then bobiing sidr to side as well they dont just bob there head side to side they can slip bit also weeve down ward for the hooks but yes everything else i agree with
Hey Coach. I'm at the first section. I'm a peek a boo enthusiast mainly for fitness. Yet, when he is slipping, I don't see him, your opponent, trying to close distance.
It seems to me that Peekaboo boxers like Mike want to close distance and make it to outside shoulders of their opponent if possible.
So, could tou demonstrate against an opponent that constantly has this in mind... closing the distance, advancing, getting inside, getting to the opponent's outside shoulder?
Hey bro, thank you for the professional approach in your comment. I see your point. Primarily this is because I'm trying to squeeze this all into a short 3 minute video and didn't have all the space. In regards to my points such as the body jab, my point remains the same. The body jab is to deter the opponent from moving in on you in the first place or to catch them as they approach. However, if they're already in the mid range or inside with you, it would be too late to employ that tactic at that point. I teach the tools needed. It's up to you as the practitioner to be able to perform it under pressure in a live situation.
Good video... the pressure will be too much for others to use what you're using the framing would be they best bet.
What I like to do against peekaboo folk and the like is to push their shoulder down and try to collapse my weight on their head (Klitschko style) and wait for the ref. Another thing I learned from Klitschko and Loma is to literally pull down one of their gloves then (you see where I’m going with this...) just try to wallop them with a hook or overhand in the opening
You must be a tall guy 😆. Pulling guard is a good move, but because they often have their hands stuck against their face, it might be a bit more difficult to get a grip on their hand unless perhaps you pull it horizontally from the side.
@@coachpillowfists Yep 5’10 competing at 60 Kilos - Exactly coach, I forgot to add that detail of prying by cutting an angle first Thanks!
@@bingsoo9559 Oh lawd. You're like a Sebastian Fundora!
Homie was making some contact on those check hooks. I was worried Chris was going to have some Korean Bull flashbacks...and that Bruce Banner-to-Hulk switch was going to get flipped!!!
😂😂 I could picture the Korean Bull flashbacks. Them check hooks were about to knock out my equilibrium though!
what is the peek a boo user is also much taller than you?
The peek-a-boo is not a tall man's style. They'll be putting themselves at a disadvantage if they do that.
Im 5'9 my opponent is 5'4 and I cannot handle his peekaboo.
His only vulnerable part is his forehead but if I manage to hit him there he will just continue to close in and shower me with body shots, due to me being taller I have a hard time in reaching his body.
Throwing a hook is also risky since if I miss I am dead.
What if I have pillow fists ? Can I still keep him away?
Absolutely. Footwork and speed are just as effective if not more, at keeping them off of you.
Hey, What shoes are you wearing in the video coach?
I believe they're called Asics Split Second IV's.
Rhythm Matters a lot in peakaboo if you can mess it's rhythm up you can win
Also pushing/shoving is technically illegall, and although some refs may allow it..others may deduct points because it is illegal. An odd recommendation..it would be like recommending measuring an opponent with the jab, choking with the forearm, or a number of illegal holds. Good to know, potentially dangerous to rely on depending on the ref and the star power of the boxer....not everyone is Floyd Mayaeather.
Technically yes, they are illegal maneuvers on paper. Regardless, bumping and framing are tactics used in boxing and have become more prevalent in boxing over time. You most likely won’t get away with it in the amateurs, but if utilized correctly, you can make good use of it in the pros, as does many pros today.
I think now I'm no expert, but I thought with the peek-a-boo style you slip under not go over or just dodging kinda like a widened u shaped also I think the hands are closer together to protect shots to the chest but again I am no expert just some things I think not 100% sure though the way I use it is gloves cover mouth slip under to dodge then punch to liver/ribs or really just anywhere in the stomach and if you can get it in go for an uppercut with all your strength also another thing is with the peek-a-boo you have to have a strong stomach that can take punches your arms cover your ribs and liver so your protected every but your abdomen if they go for a punch to like the top of your head like at your eyes you just raise your gloves to block it (plus getting hit at the forehead doesn't really hurt anyway) and the whole point (not really but it's an important aspect of it) of weaving is to slip under that side head punch because when they go for that it leaves them open to a slip counter so when you go for that "mistake" spot they use their own "mistake" against you because going for that area leaves you extremely open. Just my thoughts no hate intended love you guys let me know if I'm wrong lol.
Hey Sam, I don't necessarily agree with some of the points you made here, but that's alright! Too much for me to explain here in a comment. Thank you for the input!
Nice tips. I would throw a lot of feints and yes go the the body on somebody with a lot of headmovement. The framing tip was new to me.
Coach can you do a video on like 3-5 best ab exercises for boxers (one can do at home so no med ball slams😂 neighbours will kill me).
Whats yields best results for ab strength? Standing ab roll outs? Dynamic ones? Static ones like holds?
Abs are so important for power in the punches. Would be an interesting topic.
Yes, feints are critical in any situation! Getting them moving their head from feints to the head then BAM to the body 👊🏽. I'll certainly put that on my list of videos. It'll be good for me to take a break on punching tutorials while my shoulder is healing. And you bring up a good point! Many people don't realize how important that ab/core strength is for your punches/movement. Always appreciated! 👌🏽
@@coachpillowfists looking forward!
On a side note I heard people cured their shoulder joint pain/problems by simply hanging on a pullupbar regularly:
th-cam.com/users/shorts1piRJldcAwg?feature=share3
I watched this video to see what tactics would be used against the peekaboo
That PEEKABOO Hitting of the Angles Cus Style lol... slip outside of the opponent's shoulders, because that is where all the punches come from, you need to weave under the elbows as again, that is where the punches come from. Don't focus on your opponents head, as that is not the thing attacking you. Focus on the chest, when the chest Flexis, you Bob, duck... Cus would say. If you Lay in the middle, your head is a target, so Bob, duck... but don't just stay there, your supposed to be hitting, so straight away get to the sides, move left or right and get into that position where you can hit them and they can't hit you, from the side's they can't hit you, so hit them with everything you got, because they can't hurt you. From the side's you have a chance to put in three perfect punches, uppercut hook hook. After you hit, you don't want to just stand there, you need to immediately switch to the next position around the opponent or weave across to the opponents opposite side and hit again, keep the flow going, keep switching, Flanking the opponents sides where he has no defence or offence... you got to be smart, you got to be clever and not get hit, then your a fighter,,,, not getting hit is what the science of boxing is all about, confusing the enemy, taking him out his own comfort zone, making him slow... You got to learn to weather the storm with good head movement, your head is never where the opponent last seen it... Action is faster than reaction, so keep your head in constant motion, control the unpredictable storm coming at you... Footwork, it's all about the hip's lol, plus work off an upside down triangle chalked out on the floor would help you learn to flank the opponents sides, turning southpaw when moving in right side. Understanding how to easily and effortlessly close the distance down to getting to the sides, Stalking the opponent, pressure and smothering your opponents, making them cover up so you can take them unaware, moving very cleverly and effortless to the sides where you can hit them and they can't hit you... avoid, move in and bam bam bam... You need to keep a low centre of gravity, keep low to the ground so you can fire, hit upwards with great power and leverage.. plus from down there, you can see the punches coming. The lower you are, the less of a target you are. In this style, we don't travel straight down the middle of the pipe or in other words, Never Lay in the Middle... but instead instead only travel to the left or right outside angles where they can't hit us back. As they turn to face you, twist or spring.. keep outside of there shoulder, because that is where the power comes from. And when they prepare themselves to reset themselves to face you, hit them half way through there PREPARATION OF ATTACK.. halfway before completion to catch them by surprise. P.s,, Dip or Slip the straight punches coming at you, and weave under the hooks whilst trying to shoot forwards into that left or right outside angle,, flanking the opponents sides... DONT BE AFRAID TO GET TO THE SIDES !!!... There is only one destination you are to be heading in and that destination is OUTSIDE OF THE OPPONENTS SHOULDER and to make sure you STAY OUTSIDE of the opponents shoulder.. because as I may have stated above, the opponents shoulder is where his power comes from to hit you with... but if you are outside of his shoulder, then you are outside of his punching power, thus he has to reset his position to attack you. But as he is resetting his position to get you inside his power, inside his shoulder... you move again your own self, move again outside his shoulder and hit !!!. As stated above, Never Lay in the Middle.. because if you are on the centreline, then you are in the opponents firepower and will get your head taken off.. so the centre, the middle is a NO GO AREA, you never entre inside the centreline... thus again the only destination is Outside The Shoulder by going in a left or right direction after knocking on the front door with your Jab, flanking the opponents weak areas where you can hit them and they cannot hit you, that means GETTING TO THE SIDES !!!, after knocking on the front door with a Jab or a Jab and a follow up rear punch, doing something called MAKE THEM MISS, MAKE THEM PAY !!... what does that mean ? When you Jab, you want to move in behind that Jab... because your moving forwards to your destination... THE SIDES,,,, There is no pecking with the jab back and forth like normal boxers do, no retreating... No, instead when we leave for our destination, that point of getting to the sides where we can hit them and they cannot hit us... we have to press forwards, pressure forwards behind that jab as we knock on the front door,,, but when we follow that up with the right rear hook or straight punch to the head,,, we simultaneously slip left while moving diagonally forwards to the left side of the opponent and at the very same exact time GO THROUGH the opponent with your rear punch... Thus, should the opponent throw a punch at you as you throw that rear hand whilst moving in and getting to the left side,,,, as you left slip simultaneously as you hit... the opponent will miss you with his punch and get hit with your punch at the same time instead !.... Remember, Knock on the Front Door with your Jab, BUT ENTRE THROUGH THE SIDE DOORS !!!... there is nothing for you in the centre, so KEEP OUT !!!... Never Lay In The Middle !!!. This is the Enigma behind the science of Cus D'Amato... these are the fundamental principles behind the style of MIKE TYSON !!!. Kyle Sands :) lol
Won't you get hit when it comes at you like that?
Peekabo can be done so that their upper body is basically facing downward.
Spring to Tenside and with a coo you are history !!!
The real mike Tyson Would use jabs too
The coach here isn’t even saying it will work 100 percent for all peekaboo. It’s some thing can be exploited when it can. What, because Tyson can counter it, so these counters are useless and wrong??? And coach should not be teaching these “wrong” stuffs???
Thank you bro! 💯
It’s all fun and games until the peek a boo realizes that he can’t punch ☠️
That ain’t working
I had no Idea that Mike's impenetrable defense was flawed
His athleticism was impenetrable, but the stance itself definitely has flaws. I explain why in more detail here: th-cam.com/video/inAigejCB8U/w-d-xo.html
This will work but in the video u can see he's fighting a southpaw peek a boo fighter which is a completely different ball game
well gotta test it on mike now
I said at the beginning that "This is not a tutorial on how to beat Mike Tyson" 😂
Everything is very relative and subjective. But, in this video, I only see mistakes. It seems you don't know deeply about the Peekaboo style. It's designed for counterpunching, to provoke you to throw your punches, and when you do, it's the beginning of your end.
Why are you guys such haters? If someone wants to master a style why not? Doesn’t mean we are mike Tyson , nobody can match that. But this style is meant for a shorter stocky fighter what’s wrong with that??
Thank you!
Can you actually spar a peekaboo fighter and record it
I might be able to find someone on the street for that, but a legitimate active boxer in a boxing gym who uses the peek-a-boo is nearly impossible to find. It's just not a stance that legit fighters use anymore.
@@coachpillowfistsPeekaboo was never a common stance/defense/approach
How rich are you. I can peekaboo but I'm in New Zealand. Fly me over or come to nz and we can spar
The peekaboo was designed to counter by using angles to open up your opponent to combinations by using angles and quick foot movements and to stay off line so you dont get hit by counters. Real peekaboo fighters dont just move their head in a predictable pattern, the bobbing and weaving only happens when the opponent is punching. Theres alot involved with the true peekaboo style, not just bobbing and weaving in a predictable pattern. Hops to the side, twists, cutting the ring off, if someone executes the peekaboo style properly it looks nothing like the guy in the video😂
So I'm guessing you could destroy Iron Mike then? 🤔
At the beginning of the video I state, "This is not a tutorial on how to beat Mike Tyson."

Short fighter using peek o boo style😈 They wont be effect them that much
Shakur Stevenson vs Oscar Valdez and Andre Ward vs Arthur Abraham(to some degree) can be decent fights to look at for this.
Kur' would use his lead hand to probe Oscar's guard. Limiting his vision then piece him up while controlling distance. Dre would use stiff jabs to the guard and body. Then use combination punching to split the guard. Dre would also get rugged on the inside with Arthur.
After watching the video, I saw points mentioned here on those fights. Specially how they manipulate the head via pawing jab
Hey Adrian! Haven't seen Ward vs Abraham, but Shakur vs Valdez was beautiful work. I think Shakur is quite possibly the best boxer right now in terms of boxing ability pound for pound. Always great to hear your input! Thanks bro!

Most beginners always do the pekaboo stance 😆 they would rather copy and imitate someone rather than doing basic but effective techniques
That is true. Many beginners tend to go this route. Even me when I first started boxing!
Tell em the close the elbows
Thanks for this video. Now I’m going to kick Mike Tyson‘s ass😂
Lord have mercy, what have I done? 😂
Not even in dream😂
Theirs this kid who really wants to spar me he’s a big kid who loves Mike Tyson but he had a very extremely ego and he what ever thing he does is right apparently not to mention wanting to do full force sparring which is dumb and his fighting style like I said is peak a boo is probably the most annoying thing he does he dips his head so low to the point where he is literally at his knees and the second he corners you he just starts pummeling you until he’s tired and not to mention he’s like what? 190? 195? While I’m like 175 almost heading to 160 and he wants to spar me so badly
Keep focusing on your goals. That’s all that matters. Don’t let other people’s arrogance get in the way of that. He’ll get his slice of humble pie one day.
Exactly the guy with peekaboo not only be slipping all the time while he'll be slipping and punching also, shifts, switches, stance switching there are so many things.
When you frame him while bobbing and weaving, you are already opening your body for a body shot.
We were once sparring mma, guy tried peek a boo and i kicked him in the head, the guy after tried to argue that he said only boxing like who the fxck comes to an mma gym only to box
Yeah idk what the prior agreement was in this situation because I've done pure boxing spars at MMA gyms before but I get your point. Idk if you were wearing shin guards but that should be a good indicator to someone to watch out for kicks.
1990s boxers 😮
and the opponent never strikes back
Who else sees this guy is opening up his chest while throwing a jab, that's where a pe ka boo style user comes in and gets a solar plex shot
I don't even know how to box 😭
I didn't know how to box at one point. Start learning today!
Jab then move
You forgot something important
Tyson wanna be guys
Do punch not just roll and slip
When u throw punch, mike will punch u 😅
What do I state at 00:10?
Você deveria ter lutado contra o Tyson e destruído o peek boo dele 😅😅😅👊🏻👊🏻
Mike Tyson will destroy me 😂
Again, you're not beaten tyson with these moves.. he was a freak with speed.
That body punch would leave you well and truly open to an overhand counter. Tyson is very, very comfortable and practiced in peekaboo boxing, you wouldn't get him with this.
You would never ever counter a body jab using an overhand.
i mean.....i get what you trying to say....if anybody really that dumb enough to just slip inside like a rocker...its easy to read....but a real peekaboo artist is launching punches while getting close...so you not gonna be able to read slips...you gonna have to read punches too...and know hwere they going next....he made the peekaboo look so basic and rudimentary..
I get what you're trying to say as well. When a coach teaches a technique (for any sport whether it's wrestling, karate, boxing), likely the partner is not going to be punching, kicking, shooting for a double leg, right? Otherwise the students are not going to understand the main point of the technique because there's too much going on. For educational purposes, you have to simplify things, and in this case whether the opposition is throwing punches or not, I'm pointing out the holes that can be exploited. Obviously a live situation such as a fight or a spar will be a whole different ball game as with any art. Yeah, I probably could've told my partner to give me bit more live resistance, but I honestly wasn't thinking about that. I was more focused on showing my main points in a short and concise video. Thank you for your input though.
@@coachpillowfists respect. I wasn’t trying to be a contrarian, but I get what you saying in some folks really who just do the slip from side to side….thinkin a mf can’t read that….its supposed to be unpredictable…so I’m saying they doing the peekaboo wrong…but like you said every fighting style has a counter…..
I solely was speaking to the ones who did the peekaboo correctly….its aggressive and they launching…but there are folks who just do what your assistant did up here…
Just was offering a bit of pushback, but no disrespect at all to what you were saying because the stomach for surely is open…I think it worked for Tyson cuz he was short going against taller fighters, so the taller ones would have to get lower then Tyson to exploit that, but to do that, they WIDE open…I noticed it cuz I’m 6’4 doing peekaboo..and I’m like damn….my torso open then a mf lmao
@@R.E.I.Rich88 I know bro you didn't have malicious intent. That's why I responded, but respect to you too. You have some good input here, and I can't believe you're using the peek-a-boo at 6'4" 😂. But yeah, the short versus tall thing definitely played a factor in his game. I also believe his crazy athleticism made it work too, and the era (because nowadays as the sport evolves, there's more tools, styles, and counters to things). But hey this is boxing, and everyone is entitled to their beliefs/opinions 👌🏽.
@@coachpillowfists yea I ain’t a pro by no means…but I’m decent with these things though lol….in my mind, I’m lookin at it from a big man perspective….taller…bigger dudes rely more on throwing haymakers….slug fest, heavier on their feet…..very little movement, I already got the power from my extensive lifting background…so explosiveness and being shifty is what I primarily focus on….and being fluid and sharp with the peekaboo or a modified version I should say with my size and strength I see as giving me the advantage over my counterpart….
From working on the explosiveness and mobility….i see it coming together…but I ain’t been officially trained long enough to say it’s a for sure guarantee in the ring…it’s all speculation…but I am able to see some holes in some fighters fighting…so idk..
By no means bragging but I have been asked at my gym if I train…how long I been training…..and if I was pro already….NOT saying that I know what I’m talking about, but in the sense of how I been training…must be hittin on something….
You seem like you got more the decorated experience so I’m just asking questions…but naw I’m by no means trying to be like Mike..it’s impossible, we 2 completely different sizes…I got advantages that he ain’t got and vice versa…it’s more so taking what applies from Cus and throwing it in the arsenal
@@R.E.I.Rich88 Interesting, thank you bro. Maybe take a shot at training at a legit gym. Doesn't hurt to try. Or you say you can see holes and things so maybe look to go a trainer route. I don't think trainers like Eddy Reynoso or Bomac McIntyre have any amateur or pro experience, but they're top level trainers.
First problem is you got a southpaw doing the peek a boo lol A legit peek a boo will merk anyone trying to throw straight body jabs.
I would say never count out any specific punch. Anybody is susceptible to any punch including body jabs unless they're a superhuman. It's about how well the practitioner is at defending it regardless of what stance/style they employ. That's what makes boxing a chess match.
Peakaboo stance is protecting the body while leaving the head pretty much open and using lateral movement and head movement, dunno why in this video you seemed to be doing the opposite, also I have never seen a peakboo fighter walk over to their opponent while weaving left and right, they move around the ring like any other boxer the never do that left and right shit while the opponent is standing there they do it after he throws a punch.
th-cam.com/users/shortsjIlqNLVGbHY?feature=share3
Watch this video closely. You never saw Mike Tyson then the grandmaster of peekaboo. He is exactly doing the weaving left and right while going forward to close the distance as a shorter fighterlike Coach Pillowfist demonstrated in this video (or how you call it "do that left and right shit").
Also going to the body is the answer for opponents with excessive headmovement, because while the head moves the body remains a relatively stationary target to hit. You would know if you know boxing.
The peek-a-boo stance immobilizes your guard to a fixated position. I don't think that's good for neither the head or the body. In terms of your comment about moving around the ring, my videos are to get straight to the point. In order to get straight to the point, I'm not going to show me moving around the ring because the point is strictly in regards to a peek-a-boo fighter coming in. So I'm only going to show the part where the fighter is coming in. Also, the peek-a-boo stance is not necessarily a lateral movement type of stance. The stance is centered on getting inside and throwing power punches. Have you ever seen Mike Tyson be a lateral mover? Looks to me like he either comes forward or stays put, idk about you. Lastly, the footage you've seen was for demonstration purposes, not a live spar/fight so keep that in mind.
Mike Tyson used three techniques for slipping (that I know of) let’s say the opponent punches him and he slips to the right, he will use that movement for momentum and to generate power from his legs as he comes up and attack him with a powerful punch. In the second technique he would dash in whatever direction he’s slipping in all in one movement, well he’s always dashing and side stepping to the right or left anyways, even in punch combinations as simple as a 1-2. And finally, in the third technique, he would use that slip to get to the side where the opponent cannot hit back. I have no idea how you would come to the conclusion that he does not use lateral movement so I will just ignore whatever you said about that.
1. I’m talking pre prison Tyson
2. Mike Tyson does close the distance but not while weaving left and right that is way too predictable and only peakaboo fighters such as Floyd Patterson did that
3. Mike Tyson does not stand with his guard in a fixated position after slipping, he slips the second punch, and the third, and the fourth or he does what I have said in my previous comment. Now I want you to watch any video of young Mike Tyson and please reply to my comment after, what does he do after slipping, is his guard in a fixated position or not? And also how does he close the gap, does he weave left and right like the so called “grandmasters of peakaboo” or not? Remember, I’m waiting for an answer
Don’t understand all these devout worshippers of peekaboo here. Why not just mix all guards and all stances and use whenever. What’s soooo difficult about such a brainlessly obvious strategy.
Saying you only wanna peekaboo or you only wanna Philly shell is like saying. I only wanna jab and I only wanna jab to the head!! Why even learn the cross or the upper cut???
How about don’t learn anything then. Since your stupid slip a jab and throw a cross can easily be countered by a jab cross.
Or you raising your cross to block the jab could result in you being lead hooked, so stop teaching people to block a jab just DONT block. Finally just stand there. Since everything can be counters. Stand there don’t punch don’t block don’t move! And just win!!!!
Most peak a boo fighters are horrible on the back foot just be a puncher fr
Yeah most users of the stance tend to solely work on rushing forward and pressuring.
How? - Simply - Calf kicks, knees, elbows and takedown
This is boxing bro💀not mma💀
keep your guard up, you lowered it at 1:43 , OKAY THIS GUY IS NOT A GOOD COACH HE CLEARLY CANT KEEP HIS GUARD UP AND HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING, HE COULD HAVE KNOCKED THIS "COACHES" BUTT ONTO THE FLOOR LIKE 10 TIMES BY NOW AND PUSHING ISNT LEGAL IN BOXING. ANOTHER EDIT TO MY COMMENT 3:18 YOUR SIDE IS WIDE OPEN YOU SHOULD KEPE YOUR GUARD UP, HE COULD PUMMEL YOUR SIDE BEFORE YOU EVEN HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO ANY OF THAT.

I watched this video just to know what to not do when I use peekaboo 😅
Very unaffective tips, for example with the nudges you explained, your wide open to a body shot which especially with doing so with your right hand, unless quick enough its going to be a bad day for you when your liver gets mushed up
my brother, watch some film on D'amato's fighters. neither of you are showing any semblance of the "peekaboo" style. see if Floyd Patterson was as stiff as you two were. following drills like this is just plain wrong to your viewers
Guess what’s open when coach jabs student to the gut- yup coaches head is wide open. Back to the drawing board boys. Peek a boo still rules.
releasing your body blow to that slip? i can easy give you right hook that will pin you down. You can't destroy the peekaboo by throwing that body shot cause when we attack the core engage so no matter how hard you blow on that mid section are useless. Every body has a plan until they get punch in their mouth. Much better try to find a peekaboo practitioner and spar with him to see if your theory will work or not. better to see that on your next video, how did you destroyed the peekaboo. even to not a pure peekaboo fighter like isaac pitbull.
So basically what you're saying is to not throw body shots against a peek-a-boo fighter because you claim that it's useless due to the amount of core work a peek-a-boo fighter implements. I see.
Soooo not one time did the person in a peek a boo style throw a punch in this video… Mike Tyson is destroying this.
Yo the dude is slipping in place, tf is even ur point 😬
We all have a plan until

Don't tell me Reggie Gross didn't do his assignment? you said one of those punch will gets in. How about Gross combo, what can you say, punches in bunches but non of them connected.
Reggie Gross actually connects several punches in that clip. He just didn't have enough power behind them to do anything substantial.
Lol...😅😅😅😅....what a bunch of nonsense
You can destroy rhat guy because his not real peekaboo. If you are fighting with the real peekaboo you ain't no chance to do all your show case stunts!😂😂😂😂 you are a funny guy!😅😅😅😅
I don’t just use peek a boo I’m sorry but you’re theory would result in crashing
It’s not a peekaboo style at all, wrong stance.
Peekaboo is not a specific stance.
You’re going to get people out in the hospital 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so much wrong with this one a peek a boo fighter who really do it not going to go straight forward. 2 a peek a boo fighter that really do it not going to do a hundred slip if they’re not under your armpit smelling what type of deodorant you’re wearing by atleast the second slip they’re a peek a boo fighter lol 3 you frame they’re just going to step off the side opposite of the frame and blast you while you have that frame arm out . A real peek a boo fighter wants you to have this false sense of security and bang with them you’re playing their game 🤣 . Good luck to anyone that does any of this
1) No single fighter goes straight forward all the time. Virtually everyone has some type of lateral movement, but I still stand with my points.
2) It's not that easy to get inside on someone. A decent opponent has some level of distance management and can usually take a back step or 2. I understand what you're saying though, and the example I point out in the video is primarily aimed at the slipping drill Mike Tyson does with his coach.
3) I'm not sure if you've ever been framed by a legitimate fighter before, but the point of it is to disrupt/obstruct your movement. Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to simply step off to the side or freely throw an effective punch.
It's okay that we differ in opinions. It's boxing. I checked out your profile and I thank you for your service in law enforcement. And I respect any man who is a devoted father. Thank you for your comment.
Its a offense defense type of boxing i hate this vid so bad
