its alot different with tyson because his unique style involved landing the shots at weird angles and he had a very quick explosive power. unlike a foreman who had a dense kind of power, he would get a great amount of velocity on his hots. if you noticed alot of his ko victims were never ko'd cold, just incapacitated from a shot to the temple.
The Dirrels. I don't know which is better but Andre is a southpaw. He(/they) are like the middleweight version of ray leonard. they will both snatch JT's belt and probly could now.
It's a totally different kind of power. Tyson's shots were deadly because they came so fast and from different angles, ususally in bunches, and most people never saw them coming. Lewis probably did punch harder but wasn't as skilled as Tyson when it came to puting them together, and of course wasn't as fast.
Can I ask who is this Kevin Rooney guy everyone keeps talking abouT?!
How did he affect Mike Tysons career?
yes, Rooney was Mike's trainer after the fallout with Teddy Atlas in 1982. He was also a protege of Cus D'amatos and boxed professionally until he decided that he was better off training fighters than taking punches. He actually boxed on the undercard of Tyson's pro debut.
didnt someone already post this... but yea... tyson was a beast back than... hate em or love em you gotta watch him fight... always comes out swinging dun matta who he's facing...
props for the 'Thizzle Dance', mac dre was a legend
or fish and egg?, i still cant understand why he could be that big with so little food, they must forgot to write he use creatin and ate double times more ;). he only ate 3meal/day and most was steak and pasta with fruit juice its lesser than an average man?
well with a heavyweight like that, it's not getting big or trying to. Mike trained DOWN to 225, so if you think about it, he would probably walk around at 300 lbs when not in training (I heard he was near that in prison).
a better question would be who hits harder between Daryl Tyson and Andrew Lewis...I think they are even?
now that deservs it's own thread. *ponders question*
Thats great, I was guessing you might be there. but damn, thats too bad the Hearns fight is off, why is that btw? Anyway I'm really excited to see DeHoyos, that kid can mix it up, as well as Lara.
I agree. and besides, it's not like the ruiz fight was so gruelling that it took something out of him. he should be able to continue without missing a step
you will make it if you don't mind getting hit, cause that will happen in the beginning, stick in there and keep learning. also take anger management(yikes, cause you need it). and scap, what are you talking about smoke weed?
Good ol Larry, hasn't changed a bit. I remember watching him in those HBO boxing documentaries from the 80's, and he was the same slick talking smartass then as he is now.
I got back last night around 2 am. The card was exciting with alot of kos. First bout was Christian DeHoyas and he took an easy unanimous decision. After that it was Anthony Dirrell who looked very impressive while stopping his opponent 1:43 into the first round. That kid was really amazing to watch in person, and he stopped the guy with a crushing body shot, it was beautiful. After that Lanardo Tyner won a tough fought unanimous decision. Next was Jonathon Banks who quickly dispatched his opponent with a right to the temple and a left hook on the way down, although the guy was visibly scared from the start. Next was the ladies bout, Mary Jo Sanders Tko Liz Drew at 1:52 of rd. 1. And the main event featured Octavio Lara and Lee Deleon in a fast paced back and forth fight, Lara taking the decision easily. All in all it was an exciting card with alot of big punchers which is what the crowd likes to see.
I was kinda glad you didn't come because I almost walked over to ringside and started yelling for 'Rockin', that would have been interesting lol.
in the 3rd video, it's hilairous when that kid gets knocked down and jumps up like some kind of kung-fu stunt man, also the kid who fell from a behind the back punch.
I wouldn't say that his mentality didn't match his fighting style, I'd say it was intertwined with it but he had a hard time controling it when Cus was not around. The premise was that if he ever felt fear in the ring he would project those emotions onto his opponent, giving the impression of an irresistable force which really discouraged his opponents. Sometimes he would internalize his fear though and become discouraged by himself more than the opponent.
