It was about taking his opponent OUT. IMMEDIATELY. Screw "Style". He just needed to hit you once in the Kidneys or the short ribs, or god forbid, the Jaw. "Boxing" to Mike was, come out of the corner in round one, and Immediately take his opponents OUT. IF they made it thru the round 1...His Same mentality was round 2. D'Amato Knew what Mike was. And...Taught him how to do what he did best...FAST. Peek-a-boot...Get inside, one hit... and BAM!!! If Ali beat Mike...he'd do it the way Sugar Ray Leonard, beat Hagler...Running away, with jabs. Sugar Ray knew Marvin would have Killed him if he actually stood his ground and Fought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar Ray knew Marvin would have Killed him if he actually stood his ground and Fought. Ali had good feet and was fast. Just a different kind of boxer than Mike. As you say. Mike just went for the atomic option. Hurt the man and take him down. Can't remember how many fights he had that were under a minute. But it was almost a joke. For a while there ESPN was replaying some of the best of Ali. Those fights are still great many years later. Ali was an artist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Ever see the fight where Johhny Knoxville called 'Bean, in, like, the middle of a chinese clothing shop? One hit. They took john-boy to the hospital. They said it took three days before he remembered his own name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought Mike had the skills of other boxers. He did, however, have the ability to hit the right spot hard enough to destroy a human being. Get got there first with a punishing blow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with skill, but with blindly flinging appendages all around, willy nilly, all over, in a spasmodic fit. He cracked my rib in the second round. That was my last tournament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 It might have been the same tournament, and the "Grand Champion", the guy that won the whole thing!... got taken off in an ambulance. That's a sport that you have to rethink, twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike would have instantly took his gloves off. And if Bruce was stupid enough to let him grab him, he would have instantly be dead. But that's all he could do. Bruce could give him a one-inch-punch. Mike wouldn't even feel it. Four, or ten, spinning heel-kicks to the temples, would put Mike down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
