    In round 10... Now my question is that the greatest uppercut ever thrown? Or at least one of them?

    the round 10 one? You could tell Mike was ready to go at the end of the last round since he was wobbling all over, although sometimes I mistake different fights he lost to others since they are similar in a way.. I was yelling and I called my friend after he was knocked out. I was 25 years old and Douglas was not the guy we expected to beat Mike, but give him credit he fought a great fight and took some punches to beat Mike. He was motivated by his mom and he showed a lot of heart.

    It wasn`t the best uppercut ever thrown the uppercut AJ hit Wlad with would of had the same effect.

    My first thought was Shavers-Ellis; glad it was in there. I'd read that Jimmy actually vomited before leaving the ring.

    Wonderful uppercut, thought Tyson was lucky for having a pitbull neck otherwise that uppercut may have decapitate him

    I would say more an american bully neck, the people think that a pitbull got a body type bodybuilder and weighs 40kg... Lmao any "pitbull" over 30kg is a mixed dog,period .the american bully looks much bigger and stronger but the smaller pit game with his nerve,stamina and killer instinct would **** american bully. But yeah i see your point

    What's the best way to train your neck?
    I noticed most powerlifters and strongmans have a thick neck and I doubt they train him directly

    the neck gets inflated when you make great efforts doing any exercise, that's why the strongmen have that neck, also for the neck matters a lot the genetics

    In that one fight Buster came back from the brink & didnt give up & Tyson was taken deep & was not expecting Buster to rally & it was a t that point Buster wanted it more. Buster's mother died just before the fight & Buster recieved a boast that was never seen before or after in Mr.Buster Douglas

    As Combatesdeboxeo noted, it's largely genetics; you can certainly improve/increase neck size through training, but a lot of the time it's whatever your born with. Powerlifters and strongmen develop their necks through carrying/lifting heavy weights (deadlifts, farmer walks, tire flipping) - the traps have to work overtime, and the neck gets pulled along for the ride.

    I have a theory that a lot of headbanging may toughen up the neck. After a few years of heavy metal and moshes I noticed a distinct change in my neck.

    I think I was rising from my seat while Mike's head was rising from his shoulder's. After that is was kind of a primal scream while Mike was writhing on the canvas. Awesome moment:lupie:
