That slip was created by one of the best boxing coaches cus d Amato. Saying it's not a correct way to slip is doing a huge disrespect. The peekaboo slip is faster but requires more technicalities that most people may not find comfortable.
The peekaboo style is a great style of boxing originating from karate. There's nothing wrong with that kind of slip, it's not a wrong slip. Just like a flick jab isn't the wrong jab or the gazelle hook isn't the wrong hook.
Fighting is a tool, the peekaboo style focuses on getting in the pocket and narrowing down the available punches to short ranged punches making it easier to predict and slip. An unseen punch is the hardest type of punch.
I'm not a boxing expert but this style was implemented by 3 champions. It isn't a 1 lucky fighter who happened to be gods gift to genetics. They had a great coach who knew the ins and outs of the style. And honestly if people would stop gate keeping and discouraging from it we might see another champion using it.
Fundamentals are thee most important thing in any martial art or combat sport then you create your own unique style or not that’s the way I was taught a thousand years ago 😅
But this mf talking about not to slip like Tyson and does some dumb shit Tysons slips are literally the normal slips just a faster paste and he could do it multiple times and not get hit that’s all he was different and skilled with it and had the fundamentals down really well cuz bro in the video shows Tyson then just tilts his body like a dumbass that’s not a proper demo of his slips
It worked for Tyson because he did it very fast, and was strong enough to land that one punch on the counter.
It doesnt work for us because we aren't Mike Tyson. We don't have his athleticism.
Just like how if Mike Tyson tried to fight like Muhammad Ali, it wouldn't work, as he doesn't have Ali's body type and foot speed and cardio.
You have to find what works for 1. Your genetics (height, reach, physical attributes, etc) 2. Your athleticism (like how Diaz brothers have slow twitch muscle fibers and great cardio but less power, and Connor McGregor has fast twitch muscle fibers with more power but no cardio), whether you have brittle knuckles like Mayweather and cant punch as hard as you want to, whether you have asthma and need to fight more like Canelo does which is more stationary, etc… 3. Your natural instincts (do you try to fight on the inside, do you fight on the outside, are you a slugger like Foreman, what are you comfortable with?)
Many people who come usually imitate Mike Tyson or another famous boxer, only to realize a month in that there is a reason they were world champions. If it were that easy, everyone would be doing what they were doing 1:1.
While taking inspiration from others that suits your style is beneficial, you will never be able to take their whole style, because it's their unique mindset, body, weight, height, etc that made it work for them. That's why I love striking sports, no matter what everyone is unique.
I used to slip like this, putting all my weight on my front foot or vice versa my back foot in the direction I slipped. Don’t do it. Stay centered when slipping because when you transfer too much weight to a for at a time it makes you extremely slow. When you stay level on both feet while slipping, you’re comfortable in enemy territory. A good way at to check is if your nose is in front of your front knee, you’re weight is of centered. Still though, some fighters succeed slipping the other way, but this is what I’ve learned through trial and error
The game is hit and don't get hit. Everything else is a social convention. Don't do any illegal moves, don't get hit and vanquish your opponent. How you accomplish that, everyone will have an opinion about. This is about thought leadership. In-group favoritism and out-group bias. I say do what you believe is best and don't be a follower on the basis of someone else's opinion, no matter who they are. As a man, naivete is a vulnerability.
because you are doing it wierd af. stiff back, stiff legs, mostly wiggling your hips. you are doing it like you would never stretch. its 100% way to do slips. first and foremost, you are staying in regular boxing stance, with back foot far away. tyson stood way more squere, both feet almost in same line, back foot only slightly to the back, and had wider stance. your way aint correct way to slip. its most regular, classic one.
Tyson's slipping included angle changes, that's why it looks so weird. He also did it differently at different stages of his career. Tyson's physique allowed him to slip, pivot, and chamber punches simultaneously, something very few boxers can manage.
I thought I was the only one who noticed this! I watched tyson that i started copying his slipping style. I actually had to correct myself to do the right thing and not pick up a bad habit.
I think peekaboo style is no common boxing style , it's an innovative style by Cus and no wants to teach it coz of the risks. But Cus wants a to be entertaining and the peekaboo style fits the criteria. Just a thought.
But Maybe Tyson could slip like that because opponents respected his power and ferocity of his punches, and that slip as a last resort was more so to intidimate and put maximal power into the hooks
I don't know if people could establish that pressure , even more so if they love throwing it ,
Have any questions? Let me know in the comments below
One was one of the very best boxers of all time, the other…..
That’s seems slower

im curious, why did it work for him? would it have been better if he slipped properly?
Cuss knew what he was doing with Mike. He trained him to fight like no other cause he was like no other
Dude thinks he knows best i dont even know who you are. Everyone knows mike tyson and his success. Ill do what mike does
Look im not saying imitate him thats not a good idea, but how're u gonna say its not the right way if he did it. Theres not 1 way to do everything.
Mike Tyson is a freak of nature. Ofc be worked hard af but bro was also born unique. Can’t just expect to imitate him
Long story short you’re not Ali and you’re not Tyson. Learn the fundamentals

"It worked for Mike Tyson"
You are not Mike Tyson.
Fundamentals are thee most important thing in any martial art or combat sport then you create your own unique style or not that’s the way I was taught a thousand years ago 😅
don't try and imitate mike tyson—there are no trainers around who can teach that style–teddy atlas can, actually…
this time…I'm going to go with Cus Damato and Kevin Rooney–Cus had three world-class fighters under his belt–you?
Its normal. Mike is like a hero for most people, of course we try to do these like him but never can 🙂
But this mf talking about not to slip like Tyson and does some dumb shit Tysons slips are literally the normal slips just a faster paste and he could do it multiple times and not get hit that’s all he was different and skilled with it and had the fundamentals down really well cuz bro in the video shows Tyson then just tilts his body like a dumbass that’s not a proper demo of his slips

You have to find what works for
1. Your genetics (height, reach, physical attributes, etc)
2. Your athleticism (like how Diaz brothers have slow twitch muscle fibers and great cardio but less power, and Connor McGregor has fast twitch muscle fibers with more power but no cardio), whether you have brittle knuckles like Mayweather and cant punch as hard as you want to, whether you have asthma and need to fight more like Canelo does which is more stationary, etc…
3. Your natural instincts (do you try to fight on the inside, do you fight on the outside, are you a slugger like Foreman, what are you comfortable with?)
Not to mention, Mike fought against heavyweights who were much bigger than him, so he had a significant speed/agility advantage.
Unless Your in a wheelchair where it’s almost impossible to do it right

it works for mike but not for every boxer moreover the ordinary people😅.

You're right! It somehow worked for him but he's a rare case.

your way aint correct way to slip. its most regular, classic one.
"It's just not the right way". Solid argument right there
If it worked for Mike it’s obviously not the wrong way to
Orthodox
Yea no thanks, I'll keep practicing the cus d Amato style. I'm not trying to be Tyson, i want to learn that style.
TONY,THE SPORT OF BOXING IS SCRIPTED THATS THE ONLY REASON IT WORKED HE WASNT A REAL FIGHTER LIKE YOUR ARE.
Sorry, I'll take my advice from mike tyson.
Bro Mike Tyson wasn't an amateur boxer. He tried so many variations before slipping like that. Plus he was short, so it was conducive to his style.
Tyson's slipping included angle changes, that's why it looks so weird. He also did it differently at different stages of his career. Tyson's physique allowed him to slip, pivot, and chamber punches simultaneously, something very few boxers can manage.
I thought I was the only one who noticed this!
I watched tyson that i started copying his slipping style. I actually had to correct myself to do the right thing and not pick up a bad habit.
I think peekaboo style is no common boxing style , it's an innovative style by Cus and no wants to teach it coz of the risks. But Cus wants a to be entertaining and the peekaboo style fits the criteria. Just a thought.
Mike Tyson could answer this best
But Maybe Tyson could slip like that because opponents respected his power and ferocity of his punches, and that slip as a last resort was more so to intidimate and put maximal power into the hooks
I don't know if people could establish that pressure , even more so if they love throwing it ,
Just because it worked for him does not mean it will work for you too. There is something called natural talent.
