Re: I didn't know Holyfield sparred with Tua in '96
Yes, which is exactly an old Tyson.Originally Posted by ykdadamaja
That wasn't even old Tyson... that was Tua being Tua.Tua can not do a Tyson, but he could do an old Tyson with little head movement and single punches. That was what Holyfield was facing at the time.I was thinking the same thing about the sparring match. Tua fought like Tua.

Re: I didn't know Holyfield sparred with Tua in '96
Tyson never dragged his right foot... never had his left hand down to his waste... always had his hands up.... always came straight forward... never stood sideways.... used way more head movement at 40 than Tua did all of his career... Tyson never threw a hook without the right hand right after it....Yes, which is exactly an old Tyson.That wasn't even old Tyson... that was Tua being Tua.Tua can not do a Tyson, but he could do an old Tyson with little head movement and single punches.

He kept hitting Holyfield with the right uppercut inside. Really no reason in the world for a good fighter to get hit with that, much less to keep getting hit with it.

I think he bought roughly the same dimensions and athleticism.

I'll make an assumption that Tyson spars with a different intensity to most other fighters.

Re: I didn't know Holyfield sparred with Tua in '96
I remember when Tyson was training with Fenech for his last fight against McBride and for some reason Fenech got Shane Cameron over for sparring. Camerons trainer said as Tyson was waiting for the start of sparring to be called he was pacing up and down the ring like it was a fight.
I doubt Cameron got out without visiting the canvas.
