"I train the way I fight," he said in a television documentary. Tyson sparred the way he boxed, at a frenetic pace. He also sparred without headgear in his prime, which kept him focused on dodging head shots. He dodged this bag while throwing punches by ducking or bending side to side at the waist. Tyson used a "slip bag" in training, a sand-filled bag that swung back and forth in line with his head. You will need to develop that same elusiveness to box like him. Tyson moved his head constantly while throwing combinations, making it nearly impossible to tag him. Now when you throw that left and dip right you need to have your legs completely under you and then you drive up with a right that has your whole lower body behind it.” Tyson could throw a four-punch combination in one second and still hit with leverage. To punch like Tyson, follow the advice he offered author Gordon Marino: "Throw a hard jab to the midsection and at the same time dip right so that your head is protected by your left shoulder and arm. Tyson did a lot of damage with punch combinations. To snap off a punch with your left hand, for instance, bring your right shoulder back, used your hips to twist clockwise, throw your left shoulder toward the target and then fire your punch. Tyson put tremendous snap into his punches, throwing his shoulder violently into each one. Move diagonally to jab and slip outside as your punching arm is fully extended. To jab like Tyson, don't just step forward into punching range.
That forced him to jab and slide to work around his reach disadvantage.
