You push that bag and it swings toward your head, you use head movement to dodge it and it helps u move ur head while in the ring. It might not look a lot but it really can help you in slips and ducks. It fits Tysons style well.

It is a maize ball bag it is used for slipping and bobbing and weaving. It is a defense tool.

On a side note, I still cant believe how well Fenech is looking these days he really ballooned up when he did those Title boxing series videos and was easily above the 200 pound mark.

i wanna make the same thing by useing a sock with sand in it so i can practice at home

You can buy them, or use a speedball

Tyson constantly uses this tool. Its basically a speed bag but improved. Imagine a light bulb hanging from the ceiling and ur hitting it (and it doesnt smash lol). Thats basically all it does. It also practices accuracy cos look how small the target is. It doesnt look small from the pic on that link but it is well small.

how much do these things weights?

Not alot, just enough to swing and make you notice when it hits you.

About 10 oz less than a pound.

He use to do that even way back in the day with Cus D'Amato and stuff, except they use to use a tennis ball. He hits it and moves off to another side.

Yeah thats what i was thinking of. The old gloomy gym and all. Ive seen it on a life documentary on him that my mate has on DVD.

Indeed and cus use to make it swing superfast and Tyson could bob and weave his head out of it like 5 times in 2 seconds. It was insane, Tyson had the best head movement EVER in boxing.

That right there is evidence of CUS D AMATOS genuis, he made mike a monster he honed him with unique orginal excersices only if CUS was not 90 years old and was still alive tyson would have been one of the greatest Tyson loved that old guy like a dad.
