Mike Tyson is one of the best fighters to have ever put on boxing gloves. Tons of talent, power, speed, athleticism, defense, skills, and work ethic. He would have been any trainer’s dream come true! I love his boxing technique and recommend it to all fighters.

But with that said, his style (like many other boxing styles) does come with its own limitations. In my opinion, you need to have exactly his qualities to really make it work. Otherwise, you’ll should use a MODIFIED version of it. Please do not take this to mean that I think he’s a terrible boxer or that his style shouldn’t be used at all.

Here are the reasons why I don’t recommend the peek-a-boo style for all fighters:

My favorite boxing tricks from the Cuban southpaw super-slickster!

Guillermo Rigondeaux is one of the best fighting talents to ever put on gloves. As a testament to his unmatched boxing abilities, he is already a pound-for-pound star despite being 37 years old with only 17 wins. I’ll break down my favorite moves and patterns that I see him befuddle opponents with.

Rigondeaux is a slick southpaw pure boxer with incredible speed, power, skills, ring generalship, and all-around guile. His defense is top notch, his offense is top notch, his footwork, his tactics, everything! There really is no equal to him in any area IMO. Anything other champions do well, he does better. And the fact that he could continues to terrorize opponents at his age is only further proof of his seeming invincibility. He would be a formidable fighter in any era of boxing…I truly do wonder if there would ever be an equal.

Let’s figure him out, shall we?

My favorite boxing tricks from the incredible Mexican junior middleweight champion!

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is one of the biggest and youngest champions in boxing. Only 27 years old and already the sport’s biggest PPV star. Today, I’ll break down the moves I’ve seen him do the most and release my own interpretation on how and when I think he does them.

Canelo’s a stocky pressure fighter with lots of speed and power but fights very differently from how you would expect. He’s patient instead of trying to overpower opponents with his strength. Throws very few punches and likes to box from the outside despite his shorter arms. Although he’s got all the physical attributes, he’s very much a thinking fighter and prefers to take his time.

On to the breakdowns, shall we?

My favorite Vasyl Lomachenko boxing footwork tricks.

One of today’s most talented stars in boxing. With only 10 fights in his resume and already considered among TOP 5 on many fans’ pound-4-pound lists. And you wouldn’t expect anything less considering his amateur record of 396wins-1loss AND 2 Olympic gold medals. He has it all: the power, the skills, AND the aggression!

Among the things I admire most about him is the incredible footwork. It’s not that frantic darting in-and-out like Manny Pacquiao or neither the explosive pouncing quickness like a young Roy Jones jr. It’s also not that smooth walking style of Pernell Whitaker or flashy showoff style of Prince Naseem. Vasyl’s style of footwork isn’t overly flashy and athletic but it still looks just as impressive. I would say he’s like a “teleporter” (like “Nightcrawler). He goes from place to place but you never see how he gets there.

Lomachenko’s like a teleporter.
He moves from place to place but you never see how he gets there.
