[@samuelmorley2851]

Tony I been doing boxing a year and I alway tried to avoid peek-a-boo because everyone use it. So I instead stick with the text book boxing at home for a year and i think i got a good grasp of it from watching you and other people with tips but I need to know. A person like me who is 5'3 and 145 pound, should I use peekaboo or not.

[@r.a.8407]

I got 1 that you probably never heard 🤔 I’m a huge fan of Tyson & a huge Tito Trinidad 🇵🇷 fan. I noticed Tito uses a similar style but is tall & lanky is he a perfect example of how to use peek a boo as a taller fighter? & can it be equally effective as a shorter fighter?

Amazing that it's like a Muay Thai stance. MANNNNN if Mike even trained in that for 2 years...whew. Scary to think about..

The amount of energy required to fight in this style Evaders Holyfield once said that nobody could out work Mike in the amateurs Moving up and down and side to side with such precision and speed is a sight to behold

[@richardaustin1887]

Yeah, there’s a life span to this style, hence the difference between 80s Mike and 90s Mike.

Mike is pretty unique in that he has a compatible body type for the style. He's short for a heavyweight, with low center of gravity, superb body control for directing various swinging strikes like uppercuts and haymakers. His height was a big advantage in this style and helped his defense immensely. Stocky with powerful legs. Excellent footwork for the style. Aggressive demeanor. Mike created a worldview that fed his aggression and helped him stay on the offensive. Mike had 'IT' at that time in boxing.

[@jasoncardenas8392]

he is crazy explosive with his movements and his legs too are just raw power. watching how he'd jump squat while jump roping is insane

Mike is also very top heavy. He can easily and quickly lean into the punched and his arms have got mass too Cant think of a person more suited to this style

[@gavinsmith9022]

I used to box in peek a boo style as a raw amateur, but my last fight i had was against a shorter stokier fighter, and i had to box a different way, as everyone else i fought had been slightly taller than me, i don't think Mike had ever fought anyone shorter than himself so peek a boo was advantagious for him and his body type, as Tyson had extreme core strength.

[@yaboiirobert2238]

Try integrating into Floyd Patterson's peek-a-boo style. He was a 6 footer that did extremely well with it too😁 best use it if you're the taller fighter for sure if you're going peekaboo!!!

I'm 5'9", in kickboxing, going against guys who are 6'4". I was looking for a technique to beat taller opponents and I think I found it. I noticed they are definitely slower to turn but had a huge reach advantage. I found when I did angles they had a hell of a time hitting me, they all want to go head on no side movements.

[@joshp5162]

This was really helpful. Without realizing it, I was taught something similar. I was taught the stance, keeping cheeks covered by the gloves, and the elbows close to the body, but didn't have much emphasis on the footwork of the peek-a-boo style. My feet are more straight forward but I wasn't taught the moving back and forth like Tyson. That's interesting. I guess I was taught a variation of the style but not the true one like Tyson had.

[@smokeythebeast8288]

I love this style. It works really well for me because I have a Muay Thai background, and our stance and footwork is a bit different. The way Tyson used to use his stance and Implement his lateral movement is almost the way a Thai boxer stands. The only thing we cannot do is dip as low as he did or else I would get knee or kicked right in the face. Other than that the footwork angles and power generation can be used across both styles. Thank you for everything you do

[@camels9654]

I'm a muay thai fighter but I always was amazed by Tyson technique and I've tried to incorporate some of his peek a boo in sparring sessions and I have to say, it's exhausting and pretty stamina demanding, it works really well but it's not a style for everyone.

[@walden6272]

That's why post-prison Tyson was not the same. Prison rob him of his stamina. So he can't sustain that style and slows down enough to get hit and countered. Just watch his fight with Lennox Lewis, Tyson is so slow and gassed out in a few rounds.

[@renangeek47]

This style is called the peekaboo method too bad after costs, and after Kevin Rooney, Mike Tyson got Do Kokg. Then she went to the classic headhunter when you get a great job breaking it down. It’s a lot of Bob and wheezing and it’s also having your hands up so it protects your head.

[@l-pro5339]

Mike’s footwork is impeccable

[@burt591]

Why has nobody been able to replicate his style at elite level? His style was so effective against big guys, one would expect at least a few fighter using it nowadays

[@arhamsingh6970]

It is mainly because this style is too taxing on the body. You can do it for 10 years or so before your your body starts giving out. Say a fighter has his first professional bout at age 18 and has been practicing this style for a few years, he has maybe 8 or so years before his back his fucked at which point his ability will severely deteriorate. It takes fighters 4-5 years to establish themselves in the sport, at which point he will have maybe 3 year of action left in him. Mike was lucky that he got started so young and was trained by a famous name like Cus. Most people are not that lucky you see. In contrast a guy with a more defensive style or slick style like a boxer puncher, out-boxer or a counterpuncher can go strong till his mid 30s. It’s all about longevity basically

[@Platzhalterxy]

​@@arhamsingh6970 why is it more taxing on the body?

[@adhominem1342]

it is doable but its hard to get talent from the very young age, short in height and have a best mentor like cus d'amato, mike tyson got all of it thus he is perfect for this style.

[@vladimir4526]

Cause u cant replicate a style. Why no one able to replicate Ali style, or Mayweather? U can replicate some things, but each trainer-boxer develop their own style, Cus trained Mike and then he died. So assuming u get the correct boxer that could develop this exact same style, from who is he supposed to learn?

Not only the necessary strenght and technique for the Peek A Boo style, but also the so much needed stamina and endurance. Otherwise, if you gas out because you don't have high stamina or in case your muscles get sore too easily because the high demands from this high standard style, the Peek A Boo style would be counter efficient, also to get some serious durability (not only the middle body but also the neck, chin and nervous system adaptability and resistance against brain damage)

[@Funktastic_Ed]

Jab & shift is a good tactic. If your jab to the face makes your opponent blink, he might miss your shift movement, the next attack has a nice chance to completely take him by surprise. Of course you need crazy foot speed for it to succeed. He saw you here, saw your glove coming, blinked for a split second, and it was enough for you to shift, now he see you're not up front anymore, but before he react he takes a hook or an uppercut.
