    3:45. The right hook to the body followed by right uppercut to the head combo. Such a fantastic two punch combo that Tyson mastered. And guys like Lewis, Morrison and Beterbiev all used it.

    A combo that has been around since men starting solving arguments with their fists. But yes, Tyson was one of the very best at it in practice. I'd always assumed as a tremendous scholar of the game and a huge fan of Dempsey this was his inspiration. If history doesn't repeat itself it certainly rhymes...

    Yeah, Lennox threw the very same combo versus Mercer.

    Very few things we see in the ring are new - just adaptations to the changes of ruleset and/or equipment as opposed to complete evolution.

    He used to be so quick. He should have turned pro way earlier.
