There was no actual answer, just an opinion

[@Bryan_Hernandez69]

It’s a very athletic style that takes hard work that probably no one wants to do. Because tbh it’s not easy. It’s a lot of lunges and squats. And head movement drills

[@eliascorrea8573]

Interesting take

[@CtchHndz]

And boxers have gotten smarter, dealing with a peekaboo would be easier in this generation. Peekaboo was just unknown enough that there isnt enough information about it, but now its damn easy to study a weakness of a boxer.

[@khyunwoo1]

@@Bryan_Hernandez69 not to mention, u need the right body proportions to get the most value out of this style Long torso with short legs mean ur dip/slip speeds will be slower, more off balanced, and your step in distance will be less optimal.

[@toughcookie250]

Exactly this my friend. Lots of lazy people in this modern world.

[@ElZopi]

​@@CtchHndz any style can always be modernized and revived; the main issue is that it's too demanding and not many fighters wish to rely on a form of boxing that risks exhaustion in later rounds. Any boxer with a shorter stature and incredibke aggression, however, can be taught the form. There's also the issue that not many coaches teach it - though many do state it's simply a matter of comfort.

[@ultimatecomeback9645]

didn't every peekaboo fighter add their own spin to the style though? still using the same fundamentals but changing the style to best suit themselves. floyd patterson and mike tyson didn't box exactly the same.

[@peekabooboxingacademy]

Floyd Patterson and Mike Tyson were not trained in the same version of the Cus style. Mike was trained in a more evolved version of the style than Floyd or Jose Torres. There is a blueprint to the Cus style that makes it work. From there, you fight to your strengths. The fighters in the gym who grew up with Mike all fought to their strengths. Some were boxers, some used more footwork and angles, etc. But you aren’t necessarily making a new style and just keeping your hands up, as that’s no longer the Cus style.

Mike was groomed as a child, not in that way in a different more dangerous way in the sense of harm not being done to him but the damage he would do to others, he was groomed to become a killer and a real fighter he had so much time to become the best he ever could be which is why Mike understands his own ego, his ego and power was groomed to be the most dangerous man in the world

[@abu_mansour]

Mike Tyson has great talent and is smart and that's why he mastered the peekaboo style It is not easy to come across someone like Tyson Cus D’amato after decades and at the end of his life, Tyson came to him

[@QuickStrikes84]

It's a lot of freakin work. The constant head movement is more tiring and then it takes a monster puncher to make it worth the trouble.

[@mandoso7222]

Exactly, constant explosive drills daily for numerous reps , it wasn’t just 3 x a week this was everyday. there’s fighters that dedicate their lives to the sport but mikes training routine when cus was still alive was literally living it 24/7 even while he was asleep, no free time at all whatsoever

[@bigheadrhino]

True. Tyson looked like he was spending 5 times the energy his opponents were without even throwing a punch

[@stevearnold8265]

Yeah, if you don’t end the fight within the first 3-4 rounds, you’re probably gonna get tired out first and eventually lose. Depends on the output of the opponent as well. It’s a great style for an explosive puncher that can get the KO early.

[@TheRenaissanceTechnologist]

It becomes second nature and the fatigue that people imagine would be there doesn’t exist. It just becomes how you move and it saves your ass so many times that your body doesn’t want to do anything else. Regular roadwork and diligent slip bag work on top of sparring etc… is all you need to keep you spar and competitive. I’m 44 and still get in the ring with 20 year olds and do multiple round robins. I expend less energy than others cause that head movement keeps me out of trouble.

[@_CoachW]

They teach it the way they fought, but not the way they were taught. Wow, you just summed up something I could not understand with different coaches, different sports and why some could impart knowledge and others could not. so simple, and yet so hard to grasp and apply. Well put.

[@HaraDuran]

Yeah,not everyone fought the same,but everyone at some point was taught the same.

[@coppertopv365]

You have to teach the style to the boxers strengths. That's What Cus Did. Peek a boo style is like "cliff notes" an to get the whole story you add in the strengths for the fighter. That is what separated cus from the students that tried teaching. The "new teachers" taught how they fought in peek a boo not how their students should fight in that style. Lot of squats, turns, Hitting from the side. Stick an move while circling..

[@KKRioApartments]

From what both Cus and Teddy Atlas said, peekaboo isn't for everybody. It's not even a first option, but a last resort for a specific type of boxer with certain limitations. As Cus put it in an excerpt I once read, he honed it for Floyd Patterson, a boxer who had limitations of short arms/ limited reach, but who could make up for that handicap with exceptional natural speed. The peekaboo allowed him to make best use of his natural talents within the parameters of his physical limitations. It was also a great fit for Tyson because he had also short arms/ reach, but could compensate for that with great speed and agility in a peekaboo style. So peekaboo only works for boxers who are exceptionally fast and agile. However, it takes so much work to get right and is so energy intensive, that it's not worth it unless somebody *has to* use it because of a specific handicap such as the short arms/ reach of a Patterson or Tyson. And it would only work if those boxers have extraordinary speed. If a boxer has normal arms and reach, he doesn't need peekaboo, and would be much better off with a different style. And if he has short arms and reach, but isn't extraordinary fast and agile, peekaboo would also be a bad fit.

[@luckyhook590]

First time reading this and can totally agree. When I was young in 1986 I copied the pattern I had seen from Mike on VHS tape. In my boxing gym in Germany they taught the classic amateur style which was not effective for me with my short arms and I felt that this Peakaboo style would suit me better. I quickly realized that you need exceptional determination and a strong mind for this style. Developing these is a whole other story.

[@nonambo11]

Why u not mention Kevin Rooney as a trainer who was there too ??

[@peekabooboxingacademy]

All respect to Kevin Rooney, but he never developed anyone in the Cus style. He simply maintained what Teddy Atlas had trained into Mike. I personally know fighters who grew up with Kevin and they say he skipped a lot of fundamentals, which is why he couldn’t develop another fighter in that style.

[@timbagley4210]

Rooney was a good fighter and trained by Cus and then Teddy. Was he not taught the same peekaboo style?

[@GeneralKitten]

​@@timbagley4210not everyone CAN teach even if they've been taught it. Drive, mentality, and ability to stick to fundamentals is as important in a trainer as it is a fighter.

[@dennit1221]

Cant agree more with you. Even Tyson didnt stick to what he had been taught after Cuz died sadly. And i doubt there will be another boxer being able to execute a Peekaboo style the same way Cuz desribed it.

[@walmartian422]

Yup I noticed that. He had lost so many of his skills especially after he got out of jail. His fighting style just slowly diminished after D'Amato's death.

[@ral-pu1ht]

Well said carter, I can tell your a great trainer. You really are bringing back true cus n teddy style in pure form like they wanted it taught which makes great fighters, not like the trainers before you who taught there after cus n teddy. I can’t wait to come and train over there. And your right about the psychological part, it’s the most important just like cus n teddy said aswell. Keep up the way your going, good things 💪

[@JodyForbes]

Marlon Starling's peek a boo high guard style was very effective although more defensive than conventional peek a boo. Great fighter to watch, always made the fight a marathon, not a sprint.

[@BigDaddySlug]

Brother you spent the first 5 minutes saying the same thing 8 different ways had my headphones in and i had to check if this wasnt a short and i had it just replaying.

[@di380]

I’m not expert at the peekaboo but I did take some basic boxing lessons a long time ago and when I look at the footwork and the defense Mike Tyson had during his prime; lots of people don’t notice, is that Mike’s defense and counters were exceptional. He wasn’t world champion and “the baddest” boxer on earth because he hit hard, nobody and I nobody could touch him. This is a great video👍

[@Lilbluepenguin10]

Reminds me of the kareems skyhook in the NBA. Its a very effective shot thats not used in modern basketball

[@JEM-fo6rs]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s a shame Cus style doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Patterson, Torres, Rooney and Tyson did extremely well during their careers. I do think it’s a more sophisticated style in regard to seek and destroy approach. I seen it as Aggressive counter punching! That being said the physical aspect and focus needed to pull off this peekaboo style for 12 rounds has got to be exhausting. Maybe? Then again those angles, hooks and body should put your opponent on his back or weaken them into submission.

Great Channel, keep up the good work, its really helpful. Thank you.

[@ContraLombra-b5c]

Another factor is that fighters today usually have very similar height, reach, and body composition. The peekaboo style tends to excel in situations where a fighter has less reach-typically a shorter individual who can "get inside" the opponent's range quickly and use their height as an advantage. However, this type of scenario is rare today due to the factors mentioned.

[@rkrleg8]

Peekaboo fighting is a unique skill you need a special set of traits for it to work. The beauty of it is that it works for multiple approaches. Its very offensive natured attackers make for the peekaboo because you train to be so extremely defensive to compliment you natural offense. Patterson was a floaty outside striker from the peekaboo tyson was an explosive boulders from a cannon striker right inside of your defense. It is such an amazing style but it takes a special student.

Basically Peekaboo boxers tend to have short careers because of wear and tear on the body over time. Marvin Hagler is a good example of someone who mastered the Peekaboo style but over time he began to show signs of slurred speach. ✌🏿 Good video

[@s8tn622]

Its honestly surprising that the style isnt completely gone considering how complicated the style really is. Its like a duning krufer effect the moment you take a while to learn the style from reputable sources like your self you understand truly how great the style is with all of its subtleties it goes to show how much there is to learn. Boxing truly is the game of the thinking man and this style especially requires intelligence. Also isnt fai faiva a peakaboo fighter?

[@caiomuniz6213]

I dont think it's that much harder than other ones, cuz for me it fits WAY better than any other one, I guess it's just a great coincidence. (I'm a beginner btw, so I'm just guessing stuff according to my short experience, but... for some unknown reason, using Peekaboo, as a RIGHT HANDED SOUTHPAW.... makes me flow way more naturally. That's why it may not be harder, just very rare due to specific preferences)

[@khyunwoo1]

it's also objectively an inefficient style since there are so many requirements to get it right. If you don't have the right proportions, athleticism, or fast twitch fibers, you're not going to get as much value out of it. A shorter fighter with a long torso and short legs will have slower dip + slip reset speeds compared to someone like Tyson who's torso to leg ratio are more even. If you don't have the explosiveness to cover the distance when pushing off the rear foot in a square stance, you're not going to be able to close the gap. And the demands on the legs, lower back, and cardio all add to the inefficiencies. For the vast majority of boxers, this style just doesn't make sense.

[@caiomuniz6213]

@@khyunwoo1 oh, now it makes a whole lot of sense, when I first started working out, I started doing squats every day LOL. Maybe that's why I feel comfortable with this style, it's very leg based.

You mention 'The Master' who was this ? You mention about Teddy Atlas whom I do agree is a fantastic trainer and is still about. Why does he now not teach the Peek a Boo style ? Most of the fighters he has trained since leaving the gym has been traditional boxing style way ( Davy Moore; Plovetin ? I like what I am hearing about your goal though . I hope the style does not disappear as you have said you are the only trainer at the gym now teaching the style.

Non compromised pendulum... thats a great book.

[@peekabooboxingacademy]

Yep, in high school when I was boxing, I read this book and had regular Q&A zoom calls with the authors. Since I’ve moved to the gym and learned from guys who learned directly from Teddy and Cus though, what I saw is that book actually has a ton of missing information in regards to the Cus style. It’s a great start and has great illustrations though! Was clearly a labor of love.

Some people excel in certain styles and develop them naturally. "Forcing yourself" into a particular style-which can be seen as a personal trait acceptable within the game rules-doesn't guarantee achieving the ultimate goal of winning the match or game. Statements like "Learn Bruce Lee's style" or "Learn Michael Jordan's style" don't necessarily make someone a better athlete; they may only serve as inspiration, particularly for beginners.

Pair it with wrestling and emphasis on elbows and knees from muay Thai. Close the distance while causing as much damage as possible. At least that makes sense in my head.

[@Michael-yr5oq]

You would have to deal with kicks, especially leg kicks. So you would probably have to change the stance. Being an aggressive counter punching style, you would have to most likely make adjustments to deal with other things people would do that they can't do in boxing. It would end up looking very different, but so do wrestling and BJJ from their sports counterparts.

[@candysmith485]

Ukrainian boxing school is the reason Peekaboo desappeared. Peekaboo style is easy to deal with if you box in Ukrainian school. Which is technic, long distance, footwork, jab. Peekaboo style is about mid-short distance and power. Disadvantage: slow on feet. Ukrainian boxers box from the distance, they are all authomatically ligher on feet then a peekaboo boxer. So they hit him before he reach mid distance, then they step back to keep the distance again. Jab and distance 10 rounds. Make him tired. Then they use a combination or right hand to finish. Example: Wladimir Klitschko. He finished all peecaboo fighters with his jab and distance. Usyk, Loma, Gvozdik, Berynchyk all Ukrainians box from the distance. Well, when they move up in weight they became smaller then opponent and start to use peekaboo too. Look at some Loma fights. Usyk vs Joshua and Fury (in some episodes he fights from the distance,in close range he fights peekaboo). So this style is stil in use buy Ukrainian guys vs bigger opponent on a short distances

[@ox3965]

Mike is the master of the style because, he is the youngest heavyweight champion ever and is of the goats of all time.

[@wraynephew6838]

Heavyweight boxers are on average 6 foot 4 to 6 foot 8. 245lbs pounds minimum. There is little reason for them to expend the amount of energy it takes for the peekaboo style to work. Mike Tyson and even the late great Joe Frazier had to use it because they were always at a height disadvantage.

[@rocketpigrecords3719]

Best is add some of the style that works for you. If you're a textbook fighter in any style, all someone has to do is know the weak spots and counters There's a famous kickboxer whose name escapes me that incorporated peekaboo into his style to great effect, for instance. This is why MMA is what it is - you never know exactly what's cooking in the goulash.

Isn't the Peakaboo incredibly defensive in nature. Mike and Cus were able to make it seem very aggressive because Mike was insanely athletic and dynamic with KO power in each strike. That's why its died down, bot many people can do it like Mike, and I'm sure it's also not a syle that's built for longevity. As soon as your lose a step or slow down, that'll be a career.

[@RexKing-rg4gr]

Credibility is in question here. No mention of Patterson and Torres, but there's a mysterious unnamed "master"? Downplaying the stamina necessary for the style when constant head movement is most essential to it. There's a reason Cus had success with the youngest fighters and that Mike couldn't use the style well as he aged

[@tonybaggett1984]

I always have wondered if the peekaboo style could translate into MMA or kick boxing. Would adding kicks and elbows make it even more dangerous? Would the style be able to be adapted to MMA or kickboxing? For example all the head movements just lead you right into an elbow, knee or foot. Just curious.

[@hectorcervantes2558]

Can you do a video on how to use peek a boo as a taller fighter

[@nocapbussin]

Simple answer, because modern fighters are point men and not boxers/fighters. Thats why boxing is boring now. People wanna see wars. They don't wanna see clowns jumping around and dancing. They want to see that old grit that boxers used to have but the newer generations are too cowardly to give. Boxing is a sport where you will take all sorts of bodily damage. It's like Football in that regard. No matter how safe you try to make it, guys will still end up punch drunk and with banged up bodies in old age. It's their sacrifice for living a dream most will never. Now we have the Jake Paul's of the world who want to live the dream without the sacrifice and that's why boxing sucks now and why there's no real fan base other than rich people and Instafamous people using live events as a way to measure dicks with other influencers and rich people who aren't at the same event.

I like what your saying about teaching how they were taught as opposed to how they fought that holds true with so many things even the buddhas meditation technique that liberated the whole northern part of India but then people started adding to it and the efficacy diminished. I will say the one problem I noticed with this style is you can’t punch going backwards and to me that seems to limit you. Like Hagler could go back forward and so on like Ali as well and we saw when Tyson fought Holyfield, Evander went into him and didn’t back up and he was smaller as well now that might be because it was a different Tyson when he was younger he cut angles and so on but the people he was fighting looked like my Uncles in a bar fight. Holyfield on his 11th fight went 15 rounds with Dwight Muhammad. I also feel that peekaboo is better for shorter fighters but taller ones leave their stomach to open. Great video.

[@awakenedsoul2638]

For shorter fighters, peek-a-boo, I MIGHT AGREE! But anyone can learn this style as long as they are willing to put in the gruelling work, length of training and to learn properly on how to use this in a real fight to be good using this style! If you are too tall against your shorter enemy like 7 inches taller, you will just have to adjust your distance and angle of punches. Peek-A-Boo is not only hooks and upper cuts, like every style, it have jabs and straight punches.

Half of this video is this guy saying custom Amato and Tony Atlas over and over again. There’s no talk about Jack Dempsey or the history of the style.

[@mapac8866]

true words. Dempsey was the father of this style. close distance, make him miss, make him pay and all that by bobbing and weavig. with bad intentions and a perfect punching technique.

[@ProfessorOfLogicAtUnvOfScience]

Yeah, this seems like more of a channel ad than an actual video about the style or any real breakdown.

[@walmartian422]

Dempsey wasn't really peekaboo style in it's purity he was just a pure brawler and Tyson wanted to imitate his ferocity and his killer instinct. Dempsey is like Tyson without the refined technique.

[@ProfessorOfLogicAtUnvOfScience]

@walmartian422 the dempsey roll is like the bonafide precursor to peekaboo imo. While i think its fair to say his style wasnt peekaboo, i also dont think you can mention it and not dempsey. Dempsey roll is to motocross as peekaboo is to supercross, if that makes sense... doubt you see one without the other even if theyre quite different.

[@durawins]

“Custom Amato” lmao just go watch something else

[@spadez662]

Hey Carter I have a few questions, when do you think you will start training people more than twice a week, I’m thinking about taking a trip to Catskill. And when is the next training video coming out?

[@blueorange31]

It’s a cool style but damn it’s so energy demanding. I think everyone has tried to do it while messing around and quickly figured out how crazy it is to be practical. Mike was built different

[@peekabooboxingacademy]

It’s practical if you learn it the right way 🥊

[@blueorange31]

@ agreed. With the right exercises and conditioning, anything is possible. But that’s a tall order haha.

[@TruePyro504]

I feel like you need big strong forearms for this style of boxing in a street fight. Because when your hands are up and they punching you they’ll hit all arms

[@rgabeatz5225]

It’s not energy efficient is my guess but man it looks tough to penetrate that type of defense and even if you do it’s hard to land a clean shot

[@WayneRetchford]

It vanished since mike tysons trainer and father figure past may he rest in peace

[@bruceford1359]

Watch Jose Torres, Floyd Patterson, and Mike Tyson all fought using peekaboo differently based on their physical abilities. If you are stocky and strong, watch Tyson. If slender, athletic, and have fast hands, watch Patterson. If you are neither, watch Torres.

[@Guinea54]

I think it isn't used cause most people in boxing who make it far these days fight in 2 or 3 weight classes under where they should be. They look for reach and size advantage and the peekaboo style is better for a shorter boxer who wants to close distance and get inside. If you have the advantages you want to box from the outside and use a jab and straight hands.

[@BRAINFxck10]

Purely Peak A Boo Style is outdated, it got figured out already, keep tying up and use lateral movements behind the jab, the Peak A Boo fighter will gas out in 2 rounds. You gotta mix it up with other styles to hide your attacks and conserve energy.

[@TheBoxingRealm]

Sort of like the Rayo Valenzuela vs Pitbull Cruz fight at 140? I did see Pitbull have trouble and the fight looked like a draw to me

[@johnchipmanseishinaikido1531]

Is the peekaboo style suited more toward the shorter fighter? Can it work for a taller, range oriented boxer?

[@letteracura]

It's not just because it requires a lot of training and is still hard to master (and so no one is willing to put in the effort or resist the pressure of "badly imitating Tyson"). Cus never develop an answer to "wrestling" style boxing, e.g. Holyfield's tactic. Also there is no answer to another tactic, i.e. that of Lennox Lewis, which is "waiting" for you inside with an uppercut. In short, speed is not enough to contrast such tactics. Peek a Boo works very well as a counter attack fighter, but as an offensive style it has at least those above mentioned weaknesses. I'd be curious to know about others' opinions on this! Thanks for the video! Best wishes

[@DavidUrbina-gg9zx]

Sounds interesting I'm looking forward to learning something new 😀 left a like to the video 📸

[@freekgroeneveld5382]

Would it be right to summarize this as "Every component in the peekaboo style needs to be carefully crafted before merging it together" opposed attempting to re-create the whole immediately from what is already present thus far?

[@stevestarscream5182]

Did not watch the video but I have the answer… it takes a freak of nature athlete to use to perfection and to this day only one person has ever done that…

[@DavidCavers]

Hi I'm just wondering why kevin rooney is never talked about? Is he still well enough for a interview? I heard he has demensia. I think all Mike's fans would love to hear how Kevin's doing, thanks

[@peekabooboxingacademy]

@@DavidCavers Kevin is in a care home unfortunately and has not been in the gym for well over a decade.

[@hungrykittie5103]

​@@peekabooboxingacademy Did Mike ever reconcile with him like he did with Teddy Atlas ?

[@pinzytoto7698]

​@peekabooboxingacademy sorry to hear that 😢

[@TheCivilMic]

I would consider super middleweight Christian Mbili a modern day peekaboo style fighter. Thoughts ?

[@NjokuChima-s8n]

Do you have a peakaboo style for MMA or kickboxing?

[@Butowskki]

can you please do a video on how to throw each punch in the peekabok stance i dont know how to jab and move at the same time if you understand what im trying to say
