spin him around, turn him and stay out of his range
chances are, if someone uses the peekaboo style, the fighter's short
if he's short and uses that Mike Tyson sort of guard, shoot the uppercut up the middle, just keep doing that, and break him down

I do the Tyson- Patterson style and what really affects me at times are the jab and straight right (CONSTANT ONES). It can disturb my rhythm and I have to resort to starting over. Then if you concentrate on their jab and straight right too much you're going to get hit with them because more then likely you're not bobbing and weaving as much anymore. Which will make you a easy still target in deer lights.
For me personally when someone tries throwing straight rights and jabs I try to time it and go in after that. Then I screw up their rhythm. Enough of that can caution the person throwing the jab and straight. Just like someone with a Tyson style not bobbing and weaving because the punches are messing up their rhythm so their in deer lights. It can be the same way if I get in on someone throwing the jab. When I go in enough they're going to be more hesitant in throwing the straights in fear that I might come in and counter.

so from my understanding theyve got very good head movement right?? my tips... use your footwork to keep position to throw the jab, this is key to setting up the cross down stairs which will follow it. the plan is that because hes moving his head so much and so fast chances are his body is relatively stationary during these moments so go to the body
also try geting in there with him, he cant use his head movement if your holding him can he?... put him in the corner or ropes and lean against him, then its simple a matter of keeping ur head out of the way, i wud suggest outside his shoulder so that he kant shoulder u in the eye (if u rest ur head beside his above his shoulder) hope this helpt

The usual suggestions in dealing with that Tyson style fighter have already been posted. But, my question to the thread starter is, what is his physical dimension and what is he good at ?
The reason I'm asking is, yes, we're all saying to stick and move, but what if the thread starter himself is not adept at stickin' and movin', then it makes stickin' n' movin' not a good strategy, right ?
