Before the whole Paul kerfuffle, I watched a video of an aspiring fighter who somehow met Tyson and invited him to one of his training sessions. He looked at Tyson for comment and Tyson's like well you've got to get lower and then explode up. The kid tried but it wasn't what Tyson was looking for so he shows him. Tyson was probably say 57 at the time, it was so impressive. When Tyson would come in he would come in make himself compact and get short and then explode up into the hits. it was so quick the train seemed intimidated by it. I went back and watched some of his fights and sure enough that's what he did, which I'm sure helped generate that famous power.
Even at 59, if you've watched his training videos, he's still fast. Maybe not 20-year-old Mike Tyson fast, but still fast. I'm not a big fan when fighters pass their prime get into the ring and don't look as if they can defend themselves, but I don't think that's the case with Tyson. I hope the fight comes together.
