Exciting Tyson-esque Cruiserweight 23 year old Graziano

I honestly don't get why people try to emulate Mike Tyson's style, Mike Tyson's biggest asset, what made him the fighter he was, was his punching power, not his technical skill, sure you need technique to, but Tyson would of been a quarter of the fighter without that power. IMO, if you cant bang like Tyson, don't try emulating his style. Either you're another Tyson hater or you don't know shiit about boxing. Tyson wasn't that good because he had power, he was that good because he knew how to use it. Tyson was a very skilled fighter and many boxing experts would agree. You're an internet troll that makes boxing fans look foolish.

ding!!!!!..... He's worlds better than you with that tyson style.

Defense, power look great. Accuracy, and footwork look horrible. Not to mention he looked gassed by the end of the first fight. :lol1: Man, he had shocking defense. You think moving your head a bit means good defense? He was moving his head and coming up with his chin when he punched. That's about the worst type of defense you can have. The moment he brings his head up with a punch and gets hit at the same time, he doesn't see it and it's lights out immediately. Not only that but he doesn't actually move his head to get in or out or while exchanging. He does a bit of movement, then starts punching...then just stands still again. The only thing that was good was his punches and even they were wild and ill timed. His balance was terrible, his defense was awful and you can tell both of these simply by watching him get knocked down because of a half glancing jab that lands even when the guy is falling backwards because the Tyson-esque guy is standing straight up with his chin in the air and with no balance. He gets hit with a nothing shot and goes down. Looks terrible.

he had a short amateur career.. but balance and footowrk is a thing that can be taught unlike other attributes My point is that there are guys with the same or better level on natural athleticism, speed, talent who do also have solid technical skills, at CW Cunningham Wlodarczyk Huck Lebedev Alafolabi Ross Alekseev Drozd Frenkel Chakhkiev etc are all natural gifted guys who are at a technical level Graziano would be lucky to ever manage to get at. Most of the guys came into the pros with that and it's rather improbable that he'll just "pick it up" and get to their level.

he leaves his chin in the air and loads too much on his punches. ding!!!!!.....

I hear this frequently when talking about prospects, Wilder comes to mind. Something as fundemental as footwork and balance...you don't have talent, then work backwards to get the basics of boxing down, that is what the amateurs is for. People speaking about pro's and saying "oh they'll learn that as they go along" when speaking about essential basics that are missing kind of baffles me. he had a short amateur career.. but balance and footowrk is a thing that can be taught unlike other attributes

Lol he did it's "WYSON" Winning a US National title is a big deal for anyone.. its a great accomplishment.. although, somtimes the fighters who win dont translate well into the pros.. that's all based on style. This guy didn't rely on the point system in the amateurs.. he looked to bring the pain and his style can translate well into the pro ranks.. and to the others saying his footowrk, style, etc is bad.. The guy is only 23 years old and he has loads of talent and potential. If he's knocking guys dead with bad footwork and balance wait until he really gets his legs under him to throw them punches. this guy can improve immesnely within the next 2 or 3 years.. He's not a world beater tyet.. but the potential and talent is certainly there. Let's see what he can do with it. and the guy is a damn exciting fighter! I'm starting to contribute young and up n coming fighters to the forums.. because amatuer boxing doesnt get the recognition it deserves and alot of new pros arent even heard of yet I hear this frequently when talking about prospects, Wilder comes to mind.

Too bad, but White Tyson is already taken, that's Chagaev's name. He needs to pick another nickname. Lol he did it's "WYSON" You seem to follow Amateur boxing based on your sig. You know that winning a US National title doesn't mean much. Look at Estrada. In spite of what appears to be fashionable and talking poorly of the CW division it actually does have a good deal of talent. There is alot of talent and they'll all still be there in 3 years. Chakhkiev is the future at CW btw. Graziano would leave on a stretcher if they fought.

IMO, if you cant bang like Tyson, dont try emulating his style. No his greatest asset was his speed. Once he lost it he was nothing. He still had the same power, just no speed. Look at his later years.

He's worlds better than the guy that The Comedian posted the other day who had the Tyson style. Tyson aslo fought out of the crouch and threw combination much better than this kid. He fights too tall and he commits way to much to one shot at a time.

He's as Tysonesque and will have as much success as Mike Mollo did

Lets give this guy a chance, he is still a novice. Let him "learn his trade" and then see what happens.

how can you be 3 wins with 4 kayos?? having only 3 fights? LOLLLLLL i saw that too LOL, i thought maybe it was a typo or something

Tyson was a natural puncher, this guy has to commit to throw power shots. As someone said, when he steps up I could see him punching himself out.

i like how the first vid says he's 3-0 with 4 kos lol but his footwork is terrible and he leaves his chin in the air a lot. he can become good but he needs to do what hopkins did and take a year or 2 off to sharpen his skills and spar with a lot of good fighters to gain some experience. how can you be 3 wins with 4 kayos?? having only 3 fights? LOLLLLLL

he's trying to emulate tyson's head movement thats about it

he puts alot into those early barrages when he steps up to fight a tougher opponent who can weather the storm, he will gas out and get sparked out he doesnt look like he has much technical skill, he just hits really hard early on. sooner or later he will find someone who can take his punches and he will be in a world of shit but great power and explosiveness though

The only thing you can compare him to is his style, and that's it. Mediocre speed, technique is horrible, just look at how he sticks his head up like a dinosaur every time he throws that left hook. Give him some time.

He didn't look impressive to me, he looked like an impatient wild animal. When he steps up his competition, he will either punch himself out, or they will hit him when he comes in with his wild swings. I'd say it is an insult to compare him to Tyson.
