Did you see that dirty shit Nate did to me at the end?
Nah but I’m about to. 👀
Okay, shit was kinda dirty. 🤣
You should look at the tactical riflemans improvised weapon video that dude is the embodiment of the dumb voice you do when you talk about comments
what, peel your hand? that should be taught as a fundamental boxing technique if you ask me.
Hahahaha that was funny. Overhand right
You can tell this man has heard every excuse and every delusion a lot of students have, I love it.
The mark of the true expert.
seems like a delusional kinda guy
That's why I love the channel, he's talking from so much genuine experience and has a great practical perspective that I would want in a coach. You can also tell it's what they love to do. They have such a blast 🤙
Boy i really bout to get yo pickle chin ahh collard green head ah
Lol ikr. Mike is a savage. Ice cold baby! "He'th ferothiouth."
Bro, no joke, I am absolutely the next Tyson if he were fat, white, and slow. You better believe it.
Virtually identical
We're just like Butterbean brother so I think we're good enough.
Name checks out.
Same, but not just physically slow.
Holy shit
I WaNnA FiGhT LiKe TySoN Ok, starting as a teenager Tyson used to run 5 miles a day, he spent hour on a slip bag. He ate almost no sugar to keep his body shredded, he lived with a world class boxing trainer, and he was genetically amazingly gifted.
You also forgot another important thing....not only is all of what you said true, but from that young age he trained DIRECTLY under a boxing genius with the help of other boxing geniuses (Cus D'Amato, Teddy Atlas, Kevin Rooney).
You forgot about jail things and teeth conditioning
@@waaagh3203 I was trying to add that in under the part where i said "he lived with a world class boxing trainer", but yeah. Add that to the laundry list of things I'll have to do to fight like Tyson.
Tyson is every short stocky dudes idol. Literally everyone of those dudes will ask about the peek a boo style when they enter a boxing gym.
Don't forget the 100 jumping Jack's 200 situps and 500 pushups Tyson would speed through on a daily
Thanks for the Tyson tips. I’m sixty years old and have never fought professionally but I now feel confident that I can become the next heavyweight champion of the world. If you see me coming you better get off the side walk. Man, I’m pumped. Look for me soon at Madison Square Garden or Ceaser’s Palace, I’ll be knocking out the chumps.
Sounds legit. Do not anger the Randy

"Nobody cares who did it first; they care who did it best." -EpicMealTime
Not always who did it best Who made it popular
I’m the sauce boss
Him: "Guess what, you've got nothing Tyson has" Me: "That's a little rude, but you're right..."
It totally is I didn't like that either
“Bing Bop Bing (grrrr) Bing (grrrr) Bong” -Icy Mike
Part of the reason Mike could move around his opponents and throw effective shots no matter how his stance ended up was because he was a converted southpaw. Cus made him switch and start training and fighting from an orthodox stance for that reason. Mike would naturally switch stances while throwing combinations which made it particularly difficult for his opponents to defend against his onslaught because they couldn't tell which side the power shot was going to come from.
Not to mention he wouldn’t always take big telegraphic shifts like the ones demonstrated in this video. Sometimes he would just take one small step or subtle hop and completely change his stance, it’s very hard to notice him doing this when he fights unless you watch him in slo mo. Marvin Hagler also does this a lot too. Mike would mix these small and subtle shifts in with the big telegraphic shifts like the ones in this video to completely disorient and overwhelm opponents.
6:17 Love the way he can bring his whole audience in on a private joke with no explanation.

The foot cam is really helpful. I’m the striking instructor at my college’s martial arts club, and when doing some instruction over zoom we actually made a dedicated foot camera to show the footwork for some moves :Р
So members of the public can view these feet? .. asking for a friend
Ha sure guy
I agree, it really helped me, I came like a volcano.
Was your instructor Quentin Tarantino by chance?
It was helpful for me too but I’m not a fighter 😏
Mike Tyson said once that boxing is for kids who don't have anything. Those people could be "Mike Tyson" but yeah, most of us, no. I'll never move like Tyson, but man his movements are so good.
This. Every great champ needs a dose of ferocity that's born out of a very deep kind of anger. The anger that builds up for years of a tough life full of danger, pain, sadness and uncertainty. This can't be ingrained past certain point in life, you must grow with it since childhood. Only that allows someone to endure 12 rounds of pain.
Very wise. Tyson is surprisingly eloquent and insightful
@@Rich_P_Anya I feel like Mike is like me. We've made enough bad decisions that wisdom on them had to happen. Lol
@@MrAlepedroza u say that but he got whipped by a church boy no disrespect love Mike tyson but i think intimidation and being savage is overrated
@@koberowland9798 Who is that church boy?Holyfield?
One of my favorite more often true than not martial arts maxims is "all fighting is positioning." I like that even in this, the answer is still footwork.
I take movement inspiration from Tyson, Haglar, Lomachenko, and of course I I tie it all together with some dirty boxing techniques from Icy Mike!
I want there to be an official Hard2Hurt pinball machine now where all the sounds are just Mike making noises. Imagine the bumpers and rails going "Bing Bing Bop Bing Bop Bop, shhhhhh Bing Bop"
Hit when your opponent cant hit you, that you can deliver a punch with bad intentions without fear of being hit, that is the science. as Cus would say
Be ferophsious😂😂
If your karate is similar to your grammar any opponent you face has nothing to fear 🤣
say that to his face! 😁
@@NZ-oe7bl If he can take a punch he can take a joke! xD Looking at his channel it seems he's from India, so ill give him an A+ for effort.
@@___Karma__ I meant Mike Tyson, dude... That is not a grammar mistake. Karate TV was making fun of Mike's lisp... omg! 🤣🤣🤣
@@NZ-oe7bl hah! Woosh to me 😂
Wakin up on a Sunday to another H2H video. Life is good.
a simple man is a happy man
I can't look at nate without thinking he looks like a ufc created character, I think it's his beard
lmao
I cant unsee that now nice
Beef Testosterone's long lost son
And the tattoos
I see a muslim beard.
the glove pull at the end....... loved it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed
9:34 (gasp) the rumored Anti-Dempsey Roll!
dempshyyyy roll (how Japanese say it)
still waiting for the anti anti dempsey roll
We all forget that Mike had a great jab as well...quick, stiff jab, firing it off at the same time his opponent would...always against an opponent with a length and reach advantage...takes a lot of discipline to do that
Slip+jab
And when he fires his jab before his opponent does, then he slip right after ---> load his foot while he's slipping ---> shift combination
Thanks icy mik, now ima be the next Tyson! Ferothis!
Tyson was the perfect storm. Idk why people try to replicate greatness instead of achieving their own
It's good to take some notes from the best.
Seriously, thanks for showing the feet. Its hard to practice the stuff you show in these videos if I don't know how to move my feet around. Not all of us are already good or even decent yet
Same. I try and emulate stuff I see. Its so much better with a slow deliberate visual and verbal instruction.
@@rykehuss3435 I don't have a coach living with me, watching my feet when I practice at home lol
@@formoney5255 I think the idea is that you shouldn't be practicing how to fight like Tyson if you are unsure of your basic footwork- but whatevs :D
@@brandonetter I highly doubt that you, I, or anyone else watching this video with the exception of the top 1% have perfect footwork. Do i understand the basics of footwork? Yes. That doesn't mean I don't have room for improvement, and that I shouldn't be mindful of how I move my feet when I practice. My goal is constant improvement, and emulating those more successful than myself is a way to ensure that. Growing as a martial artist requires humility.
@@formoney5255 buddy I'm just trying to explain to you the point of the guy who said your coach should be looking at your feet- if you don't want to take the advice and put your ego aside that's whatever. Humility is important
I lost it when you said “but you can shift again”😂😩😂😩
That overhead angle was really cool and idek why lol
Just worked some Dominick Cruz sequences heavily inspired by Tyson today, great timing
Man Dominick Cruz has got the best and the slickest footwork in the UFC in my opinion. Masvidal is way up there wiyh his stance switching also but Cruz though...
I'm training a friend from scratch (he had a few months MT exp), the FIRST thing I taught him was the D'amato shift, shifting in and out, and how to "stay on his bicycle", just as movement and awareness of angles training. I taught him how to move, evade, defend, and finally how to hit, open and closed stance on both leads. Now we're working more Trevor Wittman/Duane Ludwig style "drive bys" from kickboxing range, with the shift- around in his back pocket, with the shifting cross and hitting off lateral steps (step out 2/4 and carry hip (pivot out) 1/3), and basic open stance lead foot fighting/positioning game I'm long as hell so I fight like a mix of Foreman, Floyd, Moore (poorly, and in a more boxing context of course, but those styles work well for Muay Thai clinching) When your partner matches your shift with a lateral step, I would push his shoulder with my head and crack the body if I can get his hands up. My favourite counter to people who shift around: If they do it "Loma" style by blocking your vision, but in MT/MMA - trap the hand, time an overhand elbow Tyson style - post on the head and fire shots at the "shoulders", catch the head as it passes through the "slots" when they level change, tire out their neck and head fight like Evander
Good counters, these are the comments I am here for! If your not using sport rules the shift is a perfect set up for the basic judo foot sweep too Its what they teach day one, not vs punches obviously but easy to adapt
@keithMcDonald do you have a Duane Ludwig style demo? You seem knowledgeable. I’d like to learn more.
This is Tyson without the specific head movement, bending at the waist, inside advanced tricks, etc, but it's one of the best 'basically this is Tyson'. I always find your realistic outlook on martial arts very refreshing.
Personally when it comes to boxing I don’t think you should look at just 1 fighter and try to be like them for a number of reasons u should learn the basics then look at lots of different fighters and take what u can from them and make it work for u
this applies to all combat sports
@@plogplog207 yeah it’s jus I do boxing so that’s why I said boxing but when I started I would only watch Mike Tyson stuff then sort of started watching fighters like Mike Tyson then to a whole different Variety of fighters and take bits here and there that they done n try them out in sparing and make them work for me
@@ajbuchan4506 that’s sus bro
Thats what Tyson did actually
depends what works for the individual though. I tried learning boxing the traditional way and it was too boring so I went on youtube, looked at 'Tyson Technique breakdowns" or Roy Jones, Floyd, Willie Pepp etc. and just learned their moves and why they do em and when, and THEN doing the fundamentals became fun and easy. Some need a model to mimick, some need the basic moves
What a great video! Having the 'loading' explained is super insightful.
Love the content Mike, cheers.
i just found these videos...i love the way you talk about this.
Step one of becoming mike Tyson: get hypnotized at a young age
Lord...hearing that story on Rogan's podcast... _"there is only the task"_ thath how you create a monther like Tython

Best video explaining the move!! Thanks so much!!
Bro, this combo looks so CLEAN. Mad props Master, mad Props..... respect 100%
great video for the footwork and elbows! Well explained! Enjoyed this! Thank you!
loving the sound effects. Bing Bing boom! love your videos man. very informative
I’ve watched this channel for years, and I finally have something useful to say. Me and my son spar, and he does the side step kind of similar to this. Something he does very well is snatch a single leg at the end of one of these sequences. I find it’s damn near impossible to sprawl out of the takedown, cuz it’s from the side. I’m no wrestler, but it seems FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE to survive a one-two, shift, random punch combo, single leg takedown.
seamless level change. thats pro level shit. good for him, you should be proud.
Well done video. Adding the Catskill style to your game is a huge benefit.
Man i love seeing when they're trying to demonstrate it but get more into it and jusy start having a good time, like you can really tell they enjoy fighting, everyone wants fighting to be this hardcore bloody sport but when youre actually training with others, its just fun (from what ive seen never knew anyone who enjoyed fighting like i do so more going off what i see than experienced unfortunately)
THANK YOU ICY MIKE👍👍
Thank you for this!
Wiping the glove at the end - perfect!
Why I always have to come back to this video and have a Good laugh out of it...bruh you funny af and your videos are highly instructive,mixing accuracy and humor is the key to good coaching...keep the good work bro
brilliant. like seeing you with students.
I am someone who practices this a lot. Just that when I move to the sides I throw a jab or a cross while I jump sideways so that my opponent doesn’t know which side I’m moving to. Also to switch sides one doesn’t have to dip their head, one can squat and jump while throwing a jab or a cross to set up the next move and that would throw off my opponent. Your video is very cool and I learned a lot watching it, and you’re right, No one can be like Tyson but I think incorporating some of the pick a boo style can help what I already do with my longer arms. Thank you much!
Really good sequence, thanks for sharing!
YESSS! The Tyson Sequence! I remember asking for this one! 🙏🏼☺️ Also, Lomachenko loves this sequence a lot, and Nate even used his little glove pulling trick at the end there with the sequence 😉😂
Loma spamming that thing like in a video game.
Thank you for the video and the laughs brother ! ☺♥
Hey coach ur probably one of the best instructors ive ever seen.... My mind is blown bubba!!
love you Mike
That part 3 move is awesome gonna try it. "Fight like Tyson" I think that usually ppl say that just meaning same style, not necessarily skill or ability
Phenomenally excellent
Great video as always, champ
Icy Mike!! YOU DA MAN! I'd love to train with you and get some tips one day.
For my Tyson style I use the rope drill and lead head hooks. Not to forget Tyson special inside lead body hook - lead uppercut combo. Basically going forward while constantly waving or slipping while jabing to get the angle for the big head hook.. Every gym has its on flavour.
Looked pretty slick. Nice video
Nice!!!!!! Definitely gonna use this footwork and technique and mix it with my kickboxing. Also do you have more video breakdowns of your clinch uppercuts? Love watching you use those in your sparring sessions
Hows it going with the footwork
Good stuff Mike
Yo coach, I've been teaching striking for about 5 years, and I teach this same sequence. I'm 6'6" and when in shape 230lbs, and the only one who I taught this to that made me feel actual pressure was a student only about 6 years younger than me (I'm 28) because he is already a super athlete, 5'11" and a solid 210lbs he hits with so much force when he remembers to stay tight that I legitimately gained distance and hard countered during sparring because of instinct like every real fight I've been in. That is 1/250 people I've trained or trained with who emulated Mike Tyson well enough and I'd say that's the luckiest draw to find that. My personal style is very much like Wonderboy so I live for the counter but don't mind putting out that pressure. Side kick nation lol. In all honesty I love your videos and by watching you, Wonderboy, fight tips, and a few others you have helped me so much with my ability to teach and from the bottom of my heart I thank you. Nothing but respect sir, keep being you
Great footwork! Nice!
I love this type of teaching..it cuts the bull ... 💯 on the video
You should review Boxing reflex ball(the one which we put on like a hat) and see if it actually helps improve your reflex and timing.
I posted one 3 days ago on it 👍🏻
Ramsey Dewey did one too. I think the focus ball is better but its not as well known
@@timboslice980 Ramsey gave up and failed in 10mins. Need to persevere and keep trying, also helps not doing it in a tiny room
I’ve used it and it has improved my speed and accuracy and had eye coordination, you start to get really precise without thinking about it.
I use one almost every day and my 7 yo son has a habit of throwing his rolled up socks at me, after a while I noticed myself striking them down without thinking 😂
Great video. I'd like to see a part 2 where its done in a kickboxing sequence so we can see how kicks may be added.
Kicking can be added by..... shifting a bit further into a sound kicking stance preferably and then kicking
I think a better response than the side step is the weldon reset to the right with the option to throw a cross left hook combo once you land. That way you don't end up so close to the guy (ending up probably playing his game on the inside) and have a better shot at escaping to an open portion of the ring because the guy is probably going to be trying to get you to step towards a corner or the ropes.
Tyson fought so good because he had his corner yelling out combinations by number one through ten. He trained till he was like a machine that punched the shit out of you. You weren't just boxing Tyson in his prime. His corner would watch for openings and opportunities hard to see yourself as a fighter in action and yell out the numbered solution to that puzzle, which Mike had trained to immediately pick up and fire off. They had a great system and it was a huge advantage with such a dedicated fighter
Yes, a foot heavy episode! I'll be in my bunk.
I will try this on my next sparring session. LOL. Thanks. You're very funny while teaching.
Nice visual breakdown...
very cool very chill very educational
This coach is such a great guy, wish i could train with him 😀
Great video!
MI amigo usted acaba de hacer parecer a Mike Tyson un aficionando. Hace tiempo no veía tanta distorsión del sistema de Cus D Amato. JAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Éxitos!!!
Great example!!
Oh this is awesome, thanks Icy Mike from the UK. I am learning to box & last week I tried being an out-fighter and spent 6 rounds against a far more experienced swarmer, and spent 6 rounds with one knee on the canvas. Next time I rematch him, I'll try this instead, and spend 6 rounds with one knee on the canvas. 👍
Yeah you're still gonna lose but now you will look cool.
I favorited this video to help me become the next karate based mike tyson in mma. I plan to use dmateo shift to set up spin kicks. And check for block kick. Side check kick specifically.
Ok lol
@@jorgemasviballs 😂😂
It wasn't just his footwork, it was his crazy head movement.
Great video
thank you bro, i finnaly understood :)
So this video is twofold: to educate on some simple Tyson footwork and to dog on your student. I respect this.
Hilarious and informative i love it
I practice this ' shift ' after doing actually another FAMOUS Tyson punch when he dips his body / head to give a punch to the midsection. If you think about it, in that sequence, your in a position to shift and it works great of you knocked just a bit of wind out of your opponent to shock him a bit
Can you please make a video about fighting flashlights in general? What to look for, and maybe some suggestions on certain flashlights? That would help a lot!
good peekaboo is crowd pleasing. it also creates panic in even most intermediate level boxers. id recommend every boxer study "how to fight like tyson" videos. just add some more tools. part of what made it so effective is that it allows you avoid taking shots as you enter range. it opens up all kinds of creative opportunities to apply your basic punches.
Bing, bop , bang sounds like bas Rutan lol but I absolutely love the knowledge of this guy hard 2 hurt is what I go to every single day
As a boxer, watching this makes me think that if there was a 3 part boxing course this would be the intermediate episode. Real good stuff 🤝🏾
Nate looks like the final evolution of Maddox. I was scared for Mike when Nate started moving around him!
Good and fun video.
"This will work. This'll work for you. It'll work against you, too, probably." Lmao top notch comedic timing
Brilliant vid explained well and funny
He said be ferothis! lol! Great video!
Tyson hustle baby!
You make it look easy(the shifts)
Great video. Only thing I want to ask is some boxing coaches say you should move with your back leg first when shifting because leading with your front leg can 'freeze' you for a split second if the opponent moves in an unexpected way - like you've already committed to that area of the ring and your back leg has to follow. If you lead with your back leg during the shift and the opponent moves in an unexpected direction, you can still step in a different direction with your lead leg because you haven't 'committed' to that spot. Does this work just as effectively with a back leg lead?
Nice sir
Man Tysons uppercut to the body follow by uppercut to the face with same hand followed by side step, followed by overhand left or right with the same hand....oof, deadly. Just watched his highlight reel of every knockout he ever had. How can a man that lethal have such a gentle voice 🤣🤣
This video is so brilliant and funny!!!
Love this style. Head movement is very key though. Tyson moved his head after almost every thrown punch.
