Exciting Tyson-esque Cruiserweight 23 year old Graziano

[Mikhnienko]

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.

Defense, power look great. Accuracy, and footwork look horrible. Not to mention he looked gassed by the end of the first fight.

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.

my bad hes not 23Tyson.. or "WYSON" LMAO.. but he makes the tyson peek-a-boo work for him, one of the best ive seen emulate Iron Mike.. He had success in the amateurs winning the US Future stars Tournament and doing very well in the National Golden Gloves and National PAL tournaments at 201 lbs.. Its a treat watching this kid fight.. I would like to see him tested and see how he does.. he does have the amateur pedigree.. But this kid can put som excitement in the heavyweight division if he decides to move up .as u can see im an amateur boxing enthusiast as well as pro boxing.. i love watching the up and comers and will now see how they will progress in the pros.. hopefully I myself can join the listr as well goi gotta win the NY golden gloves this year at 152.. anyways. check out grazianos vids...

This boy is going to get hurt fighting like that. His chin is out there whenever he throws a punch. He might try to fight like Tyson but that won't cut it.

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 **** like Tyson, don't try emulating his style.

Either you're another Tyson hater or you don't know ***** 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.
