You will gain far more than money could ever offer

[@Kuli24000]

7:40 - George just casually walks toward opponent and uppercuts him. Loved that.

[@paake3134]

looks almost comical, just walk in and end it all with single uppercut lol

[@philbled]

George walks up to do the guy like he is grocery shopping and knock him out without breaking stride. Looks like a cartoon XD.

[@patrickbianconi1817]

Such an impressive attack motion perfectly blended into almost a casual walk towards the opponent . Different level

[@seansomera8328]

Arrogant dismissive move that

[@heyumnew1401]

Id really like if u did a part 2 of this, talking about Fraziers smoking hook and Joe Louis cross, and maybe Emanuel Agustus style as a whole, when i first saw him i thought he was a god or something

[@garetroth5683]

Definitely Augustus. The man's a punch-out character.

[@RVBalisong]

Luckily, he's got videos on all 3

[@Soletar77]

The George Foreman knockout was scary.... looked so effortless and his opponent went out like a candle!

[@MrBendylaw]

To be fair, he was punch-drunk off the last round, coming off the stool, and George did him a solid by putting him out real quick. I'm not sure that was actually a good example of the technique.

[@subparnaturedocumentary]

it looked like something from a video game

[@RealJRoyall]

The smash punch and Lennox's wrapping right hand. Not quite a hook, not quite a straight, absolutely deadly.

[@richardgrimm7222]

The smash is a thing of destructive beauty *chef's kiss*

Definitely want to see James Toney’s agresssive Philly Shell style next

[@eddyloko004]

He did a breakdown on him

[@djcammykooma]

there's already a video on that he made it a while back

[@psychoticpurse6579]

I think there's already been a video on it

[@Ididntaskforahandleyoutube]

I never understood why fighters didn't try to break the lead shoulder of someone using the Shell. I tried to in every fight against it. I always had success. Cheers.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

It's a shame how Mike Tyson stopped doing moves like these as he went later on in his career, really shows how much the team around you matters

[@williedesmond8201]

Tyson beat nobody great Lost all his big fights holyfield Lennox Lewis and Douglas in his prime, then at the end losing to danny Williams lol and other bad fighters, hes all myth he looked powerful on the way up beating cans

[@loucypherdamorningstar]

@@williedesmond8201 He beat Holmes and he beat Spinks. Neither were cans Holmes was legendary and possibly top 5 Spinks was really a great fighter that overachieved. I don’t agree with the decision that made him HW champion, but there weren’t many fighters who could beat him Before he lost to Tyson, Ruddock was also a feared fighter.

[@headcreeps02]

@Martin Thurman excuses are such bs. 😂

[@sumguyonabike8776]

[@TD-zs2nc]

I'd like to see a VS style video that examines similar moves used by different fighters and how each one puts a unique spin on it. Like "the chopping right: Hearns vs Wilder" or "Philly Shell: Mayweather vs Rigondaeux" You kind of did it with the stepping uppercut. A whole video on that would be great.

[@johnh8546]

That would be cool. You would also have peekaboo from Floyd Patterson and Mike Tyson just to add an example I'd be interested in seeing.

[@makoshark7122]

If wilder was trained to throw an actual chopping right like hearns PLUS learned the flicker jab and uhh... balance too, he'd be EXtremely dangerous. Imagine a world where he gets trained by Emanuel Steward. Sad that a lot of the great trainers from the past are gone now- alongside the styles and things they taught.

[@TheModernMartialArtist]

Dude...I'm writing that down. The video and the thumbnail kind of makes itself haha Although I'd probably do Mayweather vs James Tony honestly.

[@makoshark7122]

Hell yeaaA! James tony video!

[@Yaboi27]

4:36 out of all the techniques I've seen analyzed on this channel, this one comes out on top. One of the most anime esque, big brain, near suicidal techniques I've ever seen.

[@grimaffiliations3671]

Same, that was insane

[@zGJungle]

I would like to see Saenchais trips/throws/dumps, Andy Hug axe kick and that leg kick axe kick thing he done, and Ben Askrens spinning back fist.

[@ReheatedDonut]

LMAO 😂 Sorry he cannot teach the world's greatest striking technique, that back fist is too powerful.

[@champ1159]

The Funky back fist of doom

[@cameronmyers2154]

It was a nice surprise to see reference to Aldo's calf kick defence. His defence against leg kicks in the Pedro Munhoz fight was amazing

[@GeoffCostanza]

I've never followed boxing all that closely, but I've been an MMA fan for almost two decades, and it's crazy to see how boxing influences high-level striking in MMA. Israel Adesanya frequently uses the Mike Tyson uppercut and the Lerdsila lean, and Anderson Silva used Ali's backpedaling cross to knock out Forrest Griffin. Maybe you could feature them in future videos?

[@reservoirfrogs2177]

Conor Mcgregor is also a big fan of that Tyson style uppercut

[@nicksalvatore5717]

Boxing is very neglected in MMA study wise, the top level guys all use it just like you said. I suck at that Tyson style uppercut, I think I’m gonna drill that out and learn it

[@SAIFDNH]

The Dempsey roll Floyd’s shoulder roll + pull counter Canelo’s left hook/uppercut Lomachenko’s footwork These are examples of some moves that deserve another video , please make it happen 🙏🏽

[@franciscopetrucci]

agreed

[@wayne8498]

Always great stuff. Especially appreciate when black and white footage does the fighter justice.

[@serenityinside1]

Mickey ward’s liver punch/ David tua’s double + treble left hooks / hearns varying devastating right cross . So many ! A great idea for a series surely David . Thanks again. Ps bought your “ aggressive defence” book = very good.

[@DocBrewskie]

[@serenityinside1]

Not stopping ya lol 😆

[@luke125]

Mickey Ward’s liver shot, El Terriblé’s fake to the body switch to the head right hand, and Toney’s short chopping shots off of the ropes.

[@louishermann7676]

I was enthralled by your brief coverage of Rigondeaux here. I've only seen him get dismantled by Loma, so it was nice to see him doing some voodoo shit of his own.

[@serenityinside1]

Absolutely agree, THEN timing!

[@TheDreamDetective888]

Jose Aldo's leg kicks. And thanks for the consistently great work.🥋🙏

[@Hero-For-Hire]

Tyson's hook, uppercut is my absolute favorite boxing combo ever. Ive practiced it for years and have used it in sparring regularly. I like to step in behind the jab and throw it off the rear hand though. I don't know if it's true but I heard Mike is left-handed and they forced him orthodox which would explain why he switches the way he does. If you watch his fights he will often step into southpaw during exchanges

[@dilpil7677]

Tyson was just a switch fighter similar to hagler. but unlike hagler who was a southpaw who switched into orthodox, tyson was a orthodox who would also switch into southpaw. if you watch both of some of their fights there are actually moments where tyson uses the same exchange as hagler but in complete reverse.

[@Hero-For-Hire]

@@dilpil7677 that's what's up brother. I don't remember where I heard that. It was on some documentary I watched years ago. I'll have to check that out. I was never a big Hagler fan. I think I've only seen him fight Hearns, Duran, and Leonard. I have Mike's whole career on my laptop though. Even his amateur stuff. I've seen all his fights multiple times

[@knightshousegames]

It's just so smooth to watch. Though I think my favorite part is the indignant look on the opponents faces if they are still conscious, like they are still trying to figure out what happened, and that expression of "damn man, you didn't need to hit me THAT hard!"

[@KaitouKaiju]

With Tyson it did not matter if it was his left or his right you were going down

[@Vallnerik]

@@Hero-For-Hire You should watch more Hagler, you’ll love him. The man was an absolute titan. He’s the closest thing to young Tyson. He had that show stopping sledgehammer and that catlike athleticism that Tyson had. He could throw well from either stance. He was a natural talent and an athletic freak with the discipline and work ethic to match. One of the greatest to ever do it. RIP Marvelous Marvin The Moose Hagler.

[@jedsall00]

First of all, thank you for in my opinion is a revolutionary view into the psychological aspects of combat sports, but also a great video. My one thought was about the importance of centripetal force with Tyson's finishing uppercut

[@haris000000]

Lomachenkos angle work, Walcott's offbeat attacks and Marvin's gazzele jab

[@serenityinside1]

[@chrismiddleton398]

You've already done the group of techniques that impress me most---the guys who simply make the opponent miss, over and over, with beautiful stance moves, broken weaving, or just being drunken. Surprise, I think Ali was in that one, also.

[@jaydub2971]

Amazing how you fit the entire Tyson vs. Frazier fight into your breakdown of Iron Mike's uppercut. 😉

The Frog Punch, its too OP

[@Yaboi27]

Naw, that title has gotta go to the legendary Look Away technique

[@vinkelitz]

Canelo's feint overhand right to lead uppercut. It's effective and one of the only flashy things Canelo does aside from constant head movement.

That's a great idea!

[@jeremykelly3633]

Ali is the greatest & it’s indisputable. He never ducked a soul & the man could fight moving backwards better than most men could fight moving forward. Flawless execution.

[@active.7universal]

also his stamina in his prime /or the prime we saw /Ali threw over 100 punches in 1966 vs chuvalo in ROUND 15 and landed just about 100 ... insane stamina which will never be matched again nor did it happen before .... good luck outboxing someone with the chin footwork ring IQ reach handspeed and stamina of a peak Ali .

Your Toney breakdown is excellent and it covers his signature punch - the counter right.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

It's a shame how Walcott has been almost lost too history he was so technically talented, but is overlooked, it's one of those things as soon as people see loses they presume the person must be terrible, when in fact they were losing to all time greats, Like Marciano, Joe Lewis and Ezzard Charles and beating people like Elmar Ray

[@playboymaxim]

Remember, Walcott was old when he faced those guys, and still gave them a hell of a challenge. He was a beautiful fighter to watch, one of my all time favorites

[@Alex-cw3rz]

@@playboymaxim well Joe Louis was the same age, but yeah never an easy fight, except Marciano in the second one, but that's because it's Marciano he needs 1 punch to knockout anyone and was exceptionally talented at gauging opponents for rematches.

[@ogreface8]

Let's not forget he has knocked out Ezzard Charles, and he truly bested Joe Louis in their first outing

[@thorinhanson1181]

In my opinion, footwork is the most important facet of fighting. It helps in finding effective range, managing distance, and throwing properly strong techniques.

[@mscir]

GREAT video, thank you.

[@logandwyer8727]

You can get more power then you think on Ali’s cross step cross. You you think of it like a Superman punch and use the retraction of your rear leg to pull your shoulder forward for the cross.

[@jdponcho9414]

Should definitely break down recent fights

[@studiobauhaus7740]

Ali's technique where the opponent walks into his right hand is amazing. Its also part of half beat timing. The opponent steps in on the 1 beat and Ali jabs on the 1.5 beat

[@jessejordache1869]

I've never understood the contoversy behind Ali-Liston II. I mean, the knockout punch looks exactly like all of Ali's knockout punches. Maybe people didn't know that then, but it's not exactly a mystery now.

[@thaisonroofing1963]

Mike Tyson all time Beast. I believe the Muhammad Ali phantom punch because he used it on many opponents plus Anderson Silva knock out Forest Griffin with it as well.

[@jessejordache1869]

Exactly. The supposed fixed punch that was never thrown has an uncanny resemblance to 90% of Ali's pre-ban knockout punches. What an incredible coincidence that Liston would take a dive after a punch that would later be famous for knocking people out.

[@Hotpocketmountiandew]

Ya know what I like better than fancy cars? Knowledge.
