I dont think thats true - your opponent being taller means they have to punch lower for the straight and uppercut from the floor. It also presents their midriff to easier punches that leave the peek-a-boo less exposed (a hook to the body would actually be a normal persons hook to the head - allowing you to keep your chin guarded). The trouble with peek-a-boo is getting inside the significantly taller opponents inevitable longer straight punches.
Alexander Povetkin has used this style over the last few years. He was also trained by Teddy Atlas IIRC. Ruslan Chagaev also used this style. Lomachenko uses this style, but a more advanced version comprised of more moves.
His fast hands would work but he hasnt got fast enough feet to get inside, he would be pot shot and sniped like AJ did everytime.
Remember that WEAVING and SLIPPING are the foundations of this style EVERY SINGLE fighter should be taught that part of it - at least You make the other guy MISS - then make him PAY
Is an excellent style but needs a young fighter really.not something that an older boxer could use .to much damage as you slow down.
It is not an energy efficient way of fighting Mike when he got stuck on the outside was basically a sitting duck Fury & Wlad would tie him up and smother him to death then batter him long late fight. AJ is too dumb to survive the early phase
Again I say- WEAVING and SLIPPING are the foundations of this style EVERY SINGLE fighter should be taught that part of it - at least
Tyson would have destroyed Wlad, the D`Amato shift weren`t something Haye could do to get inside. Jab, slip, pop-pop: This content is protected
you see I dont recall Tyson doing this shift pattern except when he was toying with his food in his very early fights. I recall it later knocking someone out with it but it was at the end of his career. It wasnt one of the main aspects of his game
OMG! Tyson`s footwork wa amazing, this is how he got angles and would switch hitr landed right hooks to the body, you do know Mike threw tons of right hooks right?
At 6'1"+ This style is very hard to master. Its like asking why 6'5"+ boxers doesnt move like mw's...
i didnt say he didnt have good footwork nor that he didnt shift his stance. I said that he rarely did the d'amato shift except for early on in his career.
A few fights from after Tyson beat Berbick feature on this vid, his angles were insane during his first title reign: This content is protected
