Mike Tyson at 49 yrs old...

[O.T.I.S.]

Rousey tried to strike with a striker because her conditioning for her camp wasnt at a level where she could use her grappling. She looked slow and trash. She nearly ended the match in the first round with jiujitsu. Mike tyson is pshing 50 bruh. Black belts that are competing within 40 pounds of his weight class, will destroy him.

Ronda didn't nearly end anything and her losing didn't have anything to do with her conditioning or camp. It had to do with her fighting a well-trained, well experienced, 10 year PROFESSIONAL championship boxer... Not some scrub or washed up bum


And Holly was known in women's boxing a a light technical puncher... She barely knocked anyone out. There are MMA fighters that say Holly done almost KO'd them with one punch... Including Ronda.

Truthfully he probably wasn't moving as fast as he could.

After rewatching the clip it looked like he was really just warming up. Wasn't until the end did I see any kind of rhythm to his punches and head movement.

And maybe it was the bag but it didn't look like he was hitting at full power either. Maybe because he lost a lot of speed/technique or something.

Here's a video of him explaining his combos and how he was taught to fight.

Really it's the speed he throws from one punch to the next.

He talked about it all the time actually

And Tysons chin and the amount of punishment elite boxers can withstand is also something else that gets overlooked.

Tyson is old but that was his life for about 30 years. Tyson is washing anyone on this forum honestly. He still punches with bad intentions

The fact that this is even being debated

I actually got a Mike Tyson story

I was in DC in the early 2000s and me and the homies went to this club called State of the Union on U st.
we had got some breezies to come back to the crib with us and one of 'em got held up and everybody's wondering "where the hell this chick go?"

my boy walks a little bit up the side walk and he turns around and gives me this look

turns out Mike Tyson wanted to holla at one of the chicks and at that point we're all like




her and her friends still ended up coming over but they really wasn't about shyt but smoking up all our weed and bouncing out


but yeah, there's no cotdamn way we woulda forced any kinda issue with dude. seeing him in person you always hear about how he's not that tall and he's not, but that motherfukker was broad as hell

nikka's arms and shoulders weren't on no pretty, bodybuilder type shyt
it was more like a trunk and limbs of straight corrugated sheet metal I-will-fukk-you-up muscles

being around him was like going to that one friend's house that got that bad ass pitbull that looks at you like this the whole time but he swears it's not gonna bite or do anything to you

Depends on how much space we have to fight. If we're in an open valley I could take him easily. I'd hit him with a punch or two and then run around the valley until he got a little tired...Run in with a flying side kick and keep repeating until he passes out from exhaustion.

I did some amateur boxing training in my early to mid teens. I'm confident I would last 2 seconds in the ring with Mike.

Most cats would get knocked out by

To become brehs with Tyson and just spend a day in the gym shooting the shyt about technique and the old days

 

[Professor Emeritus]

and strength?

Nah man, you're not losing much strength at 49.

There are men in their 50s and 60s lifting huge weight.

Way to go out on a limb
