Yeah it’s a pity he didn’t do it much in his fights, strange.

@@ultimatemiketyson4031 Agree. Have watched all of his sparring sessions. He did more tricks in sparring like fainting, bending the knees more, using the jab to setup his shots and get in, moving backward to adjust and using the ropes as defense by letting his opponents miss, keeping his hands low while moving the head to bait his opponents and then quickly change the angles, 6-8 body and head combination punches mixed together, moving the head during clinches while throwing uppercuts, moving the head more when throwing straight punches rather than hooks to make his opponents miss more, changing angles after every 10 seconds and baiting more to make his opponents miss and confused, jump to the side when his opponent was backed against the corner and change angles- the switch, getting behind his opponents shoulders and moving to the sides as his opponents tried to take back their angles. Cus d'Mato didn't like him fighting using the southpaw stance but he was good at that as well. His reason was that nobody liked fighting southpaw fighters and it wasn't exciting enough. He did some of that in his fights but could have done it on another level.

@@alcottdevalte7440 Rooney said after the spinks fight that tyson was doing amazing things iin sparring that he wasn't showing in his fights. He said that tyson needed to relax more and bring out his skills more, but the fact of the matter is that tyson was showing more and more of his repertoire each fight. Against holmes he was jumping in giving angles , against tubbs he was using a tripple jab. Tyson left rooney when he just turned 22 . He had so many more years to learn the arts and crafts of the sweet science . Once he left rooney he really declined in his boxing technique , its really sad that he never reached his potential . Without question he was the biggest waste of talent in boxing history.

@@greengrass811 You're 1000% right. Imagine all the great technical fights we could have seen with Rooney as his trainer. It's extremely rare that someone at the young age of Tyson was so skilled, imagine being 20 and having all the skills, and the rest of what you need is to work on you being more relaxed and comfortable in order to using those skills better. Can't think of any other fighter or person at the age of 18-22 being close to being the best version of what they do. I had no clue what I was doing at 20 or what I tried to achieve...

@@ultimatemiketyson4031 I completely fucking agree with you, he def shud've stayed in the original camp but Mike said he got lazy and because he was knocking out people without training and combinations he didn't bother, then he lost to douglas. Very disappointing man.

Lbs...that part got me too...but I'm also the same way when demonstrating technique on people so I get it. 😆🤣

LMAO

Bro, I'm short and stocky just like him. I would go broke to have him train me. He's my idol

@@Meta_Meech he's above average g short is Manny Pacquiao

@@Meta_Meech he was short for a heavyweight but he's still like 5'10.5'' i think

@@Meta_Meech he's 5'10?

Can’t blame him 😃

Jimmy Greaves was a legend in his own right. As a football (soccer) player. Mike Tyson was "the baddest man on the planet" at the time.

😂😂😂

He looks panic

Lmaooooooo

You wouldn't be scared if Mike tyson was throwing punches at you like that his power is scary though you will be scared too i believe you will too

Pity he didn’t do that move more in his fights

He was just demonstrating

@@ultimatemiketyson4031 with light shots

Yeah I think he said he would prefer to just talk to fighters

Tyson didn't start put Luke that. Kevin said Mike was a terrible fighter when he started then they built him up mentally 85% as they put it and then he became the fighter that he was.

He just didn’t do this kind of technique enough in competition

Lmao

@@syauqiumair2699 ok 0

Exactly

Wasn’t that his right hand

you got your punches mixed up friend.

I might have a better chance at shadow boxing now and have more fun developing my sparring techniques which in turn will be good to save and preserve life as we know.

I believe in you Mike Tyson.

It’s strange that Tyson didn’t do the twist a lot in fights, seemed to it a lot in sparring

Pity he didn’t do it more often in the ring

Yeah Tyson was doing this in the early 80s. It’s a shame though that Tyson didn’t do it much in fights, Lomachenko does it a lot and it’s really effective

@@ultimatemiketyson4031 He's effective bc he's southpaw

@@Leonidas-gs9cv doesn’t make any difference at all. Ricky Hatton used to do it a lot also and he’s orthodox. You. An change angles effectively fighting inside with a squared stance.

These types of moves have been done for hundreds of years

@@hassanx9423 ye I've heard that Cleopatra used to nail those moves too

Faster, stronger, kinder, smarter? What you want? Superman?

Tyson would never do that

@@ultimatemiketyson4031yes he did

That's so true.

Alot of gyms teach it differently. Depends where you go. My gym teaches the front 2 knuckles.

Just type ‘Greaves’ in the search box

Jimmy Greaves had such a great personality and he was an amazing part of sport for those who grew up in the UK in the 80’s, great era

@@ultimatemiketyson4031 Was great to see Jimmy finally get his MBE this year , took long enough . And it’s his 81st birthday on Saturday , hope he has many more , what a legend

@@bobmathews9072 yeah super nice guy and really funny. Loved the Saint & Greavsie show, the good old days.

I scrolled too far down to find recognition of Jimmy. A Great man he is. 👌

Depends on the sport. Boxing = Tyson
