Tua wasn't mimicking Tyson's style at all. But, Evander won both fights... so, it must have worked.

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.

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.
