Tyson is always a privilege to watch, but almost equally entertaining is the guy in his corner. I love watching a good coach!
I think that Kevin Rooney was the best of Tyson’s trainers. Dude did awesome mittwork.
Always happy to get a fight smart newsletter! Great footage, too.
They will be more regular moving forward… I swear it.
Well what happened to you sir, I haven’t seen your activity since like when i was 16, currently i am 22. ok here is a message from past, with the help you your video on how to defend yourself against multiple attacker, techniques that you taught me back then, helped me destroy my bully completely, i ended the fight with him tasting the floor. yeh knock out. Hey Sir, like I’m grateful to you. but it would be great if you also become active on YouTube, you have completely forgotten it, (it’s my bias ). btw i am happy to see that you are posting and active now, cuz when i checked your channel comments section people say your are teaching how to fight in heaven! 🙂. Crazy haa!!! , bye bye I will be waiting for your next newsletter. take care sir.. 🙏🏻
In the book “The Tao of Muhammad Ali” by Davis Miller, I read that Ali traveled around the country, giving amateurs the same opportunity to spar with him. Don’t if he paid anyone, though…
They were paid with honor… as in, the honor to be punched in the face by Ali.
Just as edible as the .gifs I mentioned in the newsletter!
superhuman, literally; like a lot of what we see, SEE, Bruce Lee doing, in footage, and from those THERE with him.
Those guys earned their pay, I think I’ll stick to the 192 hours a month in Engineering.
Very good. That first guy, Marc, made Tyson work. I enjoyed that one.
If I hit my heavy bag with a baseball bat it wouldn’t sound as hard core as a Tyson punch.
The video is sped up when they start fighting… That or else Tyson seems to be in another dimension…
This probably predates slow motion cameras
Edit: I’m only like 20% serious.
Are you sure? Tyson was blindingly fast in his heyday
Always good to see footage of Tyson training. This footage looks a bit sleepy. He is actually yawning while getting his hands wrapped and no brutal damage to the sparring partners. Thanks for posting this though Trav.
Love watching Tyson. Kevin Rooney is the man!! Help craft one of the best.
