Will we ever see a peek-a-boo style fighter again?

    In any weight class? IMO there are only 3 people in the world qualified to teach the original D'amato style. Keven rooney, Teddy atlas, mike tyson.

    Rooney is an alcoholic and doesn't talk to anyone
    Mike Tyson shows 0 interest in boxing especially teaching boxing
    Teddy atlas doesn't teach his fighters the peek a boo

    probably will see it, but not anyone as dominant as Tyson was at it. That style takes a lot of discipline.

    Life imitates art and vise versa.

    Of course we will.

    Hard style to make work. Dangerous style to make work.

    Look at what these two D'Amato fighters had:

    Jose was one of D"Amato as well

    But I like Tyson and Patterson the most,


    Overall, you have a better chance to find the right athlete in the lower weight classes.

    I think it suits a specific body type better (short, short reach, and muscular)

    This.

    <<<< Vasyl Lomachenko in my AV. Oleksandr Usyk uses it too but doesn't bob and weave as much since he's 6'3.

    I was thinking the same the other day. It is a lost art. Especially with Roney and Atlas practically retired. Cus D'Amato was a special person really.

    Great thread Kevin Rooney and Teddy Atlas were groomed by the greatest trainer heads shoulds above the rest Cus Damato to train the bob weave peeak a boo style. Why more fighters dont seek there service I dont know?

    What I am tired of is every shorter fighter getting hit by nonstop jabs from the taller fighter for 12 rounds because no shorter fighters knows how to slip the jab any more.

    I watched the clip and heard great thing about lomenchenko but did not see the peek-a-boo style . . . did I miss something? He is definatly a hot prospect cannot wait for him to turn pro after London.

    ^ ive heard it is extremely hard to get into contact with rooney and he has fallen deep into alcoholism and depression. I don;t think he even trains his son.
