Tyson’s relentless assault on Ferguson with body shots is still my favorite display by Tyson. This content is protected
That right hand to the body followed by the right uppercut to the chin combo was like a trademark move of Tyson’s.
That combo is brutally beautiful. He does it over and over. Fast and gets enough torque on it to destroy just about anyone.
Mike said the best punch he ever threw was the right hand he hit Robin Givens with. He said her head bounced off every wall in the apartment.
not his best performance but the way he ended Bruno with the body + uppercut combo in their first fight showed Tyson's ruthlessness as a fighter, brutal finish.
You could say that it was the same combo that effectively ended the fight against Tubbs as well. Tyson has him against the ropes and hits him with the combo. At first it seems Tubbs takes it well but watch Tubbs reaction when the fighters clinch is broken up by the ref and Tubbs tried to walk away, next to the ropes. Suddenly almost out of shot of the TV cameras, Tubbs legs buckle wildly in a delaying effect. He tries to control himself but all he can do is steady himself in walking forward and can't even hold up his hands up to defend himself as Tyson approaches. The left hook that Tyson then lands seems to completely take what little control that Tubbs had regained from his legs and the fight is over. It looks like all that was done by the left hook but really the damage was done by the proceeding body shot/ uppercut combo and even a simple jab could have finished the job off.
Do you know how many one punch finishes Tyson really stacked up? Who had more one punch finishes, Liston, Louis or Tyson?
