once again watch larry holmes vs tyson. second he got clinched he didnt do shit besides look puzzled and confused. a true inside fighter
doesnt get flustered by clinching and moving.
Oh, why didn't you say so. He clinched with Larry Holmes and didn't do shit. Well, that settles it.
How about all of Tyson's virtually all of knockouts came from the inside. All his bobbing and weaving was so he could get to the inside to land those upper cuts, hooks and body shots.
He was shorter than everybody. Getting inside was the only way he was going to hit anybody. But he stopped fighting like that later in his career. Tyson's prime lasted only a few years. As I said, after Cus died and the original crew were gone so was Tyson's fighting skills. Tyson in many ways still had the mind of a child and needed the guidance Cus and company provided. He never recovered after he got out of jail.
And I hope you realize when you say Tyson had no inside punching skills that his strength was fighting from the outside. A boxer who was known for his ruthless aggressive style and always pressed forward, bobbing and weaving, firing hooks and upper cuts.
Does this look like a guy who fought from the outside which implies and more defensive counter striker? Pay special attention to 8:20 where he "couldn't do shit" to Larry Holmes from the inside.
