Why did Tyson stop using combinations in his later fight?

Age and not looking after himself.

When you get to your mid 30's see if you can still throw the same amount of punches as you did when you were 20.

 

The footwork, the head movement & the body shots all dissappeared.

After Holyfield II he was never the same

 

Seemed like he rapidly declined after firing Kevin Rooney and surrounding himself with leeches.

 

He was on the decline waaaaay before then. It was Robin Givens that whipped Mike Tyson.

 

She was/is an evil *****. The Spinks fight was his peak, after that it was all downhill.

Holy II was the last time he looked anywhere near his best.

 

Bull****. Prime Tyson eats up Holyfield.

 

It was after Spinks that he fired Kevin Rooney.

 

I disagree and so does Emmanuel Steward.. Holyfield was born to beat Mike Tyson

 

prison tends to do that to you :roflatsch

 

Tyson was in his prime at 20s, soon as his coach died, too much fame / money, prison followed his world collapsed.

Tyson in his 20s destorys holy sorry.

 

Even as people were watching Holyfield put a clinic on Tyson, they were refusing to believe it.

In 2012, people are making excuses.
Holyfield from Tyson/Holy1 beats any version of Tyson. Tyson had never faced a boxer of Holyfield's level, unless you count Holmes that was coming off a two year retirement.

 

No, you are wrong. Let me break it down.. and before I do, keep in mind Tyson is my favorite fighter ever; I rank him H2H Prime for Prime over most others.

Conditioning; Durability; Dirty Fighting.

Tyson could theoretically get Holyfield out in the early rounds; I won't dispute that.. but you have to look at the percentage chance of that actually happening if you want to put that into question.

Holyfield had the chin to weather an early KO from Tyson in mine and most peoples opinions (and as it was shown in their fights if you don't take my word on it). This means the fight will last past the early rounds so Condition will be any issue.

Mike even in his prime when the fight lasted into the middle rounds started to not bring as much head movement and seer aggression; that's not to say he didn't bring it.. just not to the point he did early in the fight.

Holyfield starts banking rounds; when Tyson starts trying to slip and come in with single shots Holyfield starts headbutting him... Tyson is actually a very clean fighter (outside of a ear bite). So this will continue to frustrate him.. along with his inability to actually take Holyfield out.

Disagree if you want, but outside of an early KO.. Holyfield wins majority of the time.

 

Wouldnt call Mike a very clean fighter, he knew how to use his elbows & head.

 

When comparable to Ali's neck holding or Holyfields headbutts, his dirty fighting is minimal; Aggressive fighters tend to clash heads often even on accident.
