How to Destroy the Peek-A-Boo Boxing Stance

Problem I see here is you are only showing your attack. Peek-a-boo by it's nature is throwing a barrage of hard punch from all direction while you are slipping.

Valid Tips, my Coach has been teaching me a mix of Peek a Boo with a lots of Duran's aspects put into it. I think people gotta understand these things about Mike Tyson's Peek A Boo specifically: 1. Obviously Peek A Boo is a very draining fighting style as with the constant shifting and slipping along with counter punching with 110%, so if your fundamentals and cardio isn't up, it's not worth taking into your boxing just yet. 2. A common mistake I see people do and sometimes I fall into is falling into a rhythm when doing the peekaboo slip. No matter how fast you slip, a fast rhythm is still a rhythm, which a good counter puncher can exploit. 3. Last thing people gotta remember is Peek a Boo worked so well for Mike Tyson because of his intimidation mixed in with his inhuman explosiveness, if you don't got those two things, you should try a different style of boxing. However to those using the peekaboo style, don't be discouraged from this video as there is no such thing as an unbeatable style, and every style has its weaknesses and strengths, just some have more exploitable weaknesses than others. In this video the people demonstrating the peekaboo missed the fact that Tyson and Patterson usually their eye level usually down below their opponent's chest or even lower. They also missed it's a whole different game when the peekaboo user is throwing back their power punches. Overall great video, but peek a boo users, do not get discouraged, and keep training!

And then there's me just trying to survive in the ring.

Coach! This was awesome! I'm a tall guy who has to deal with the Peek-a-boo style from shorter stockier more explosive guys at my gym. Great tactics!

Respect the peek a boo style

it could work "in theory" but a skilled peekaboo practitioner could potentially counter this. it depends on how good you are compared to the peekaboo practitioner. I'd consider myself an intermediate-level peekaboo practitioner. I've got a few years of boxing experience but have dedicated the last year to only learning peekaboo. the most common thing I hear people say to me is how they'll just throw jabs at my chest as I can't slip jabs to the chest as it's a bigger target. so all I did to beat that strategy is when they jab to the body or chest I'd bring my arms closer together to block body/chest shots then immediately throw a lead hook (sometimes with the little Tyson-style leap forward if I'm not close enough) and it would catch them about 7/10 times or at least make them lean back to avoid the hook, compromising their stance allowing me to rush them with a quick little combo. it's all about adapting to what your opponent is doing. if they've got good counters for your style just figure out how to counter their counters. every technique has a counter and every counter has a counter. it just comes down to who is the better boxer. but as far as peekaboo counters go, these ideas you've mentioned are most likely the best options to try if you were to attempt to counter the peekaboo style

Framing ftw, thnx coach! 🙌

But I dont think this is too accurate though, peekaboo style users also know their own weakness and train those spots and reflexes for counters.

Peek-a-boo style was so effective for the prime Mike Tyson not just because of his overwhelming power. But because of his exceptional speed and timing. Not to mention his footwork, changing from one place to another at the blink of an eye and throwing a devastating combination of powerful punches or a one time power counter. Peek-a-boo is a demanding and exhausting style for anyone who chose this fighting style. But bear in mind that the true objective of peek-a-boo is to throw a counter punch in an aggressive way..

Incredible

Great coach, hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷😁🥊

When you throw to the body, you are now open for a head shot from the side of the hand which you've just thrown from. This boxing and weaving style is often used to bait out punches and connect with a clean strong counter punch. Mike Tysons style in his prime was very measured and intelligent.

Love it, coach! Awesome video as always. Had a question for you. I've been boxing now for 10 or 11 months as you know. My coaches keep encouraging me to spar and that they make sure it's a controlled environment where there's as little opportunity for someone to get hurt. I believe them and trust them and really do want to spar. Do you recommend someone like myself who has no plans of competing to get into light sparring? Thanks again for the continued videos, they really do help me in my training and I'm sure they help a ton of other people too!

Remember that Mike Tyson's peekaboo is an evasive but aggressive counter-punching style. A lot of the issues that were pointed out can be reduced by throwing the jab between slips while approaching, throwing your hooks and body hooks immediately upon closing to prevent the chicken wing push off or any posting/framing, and strategically Damato shifting or shooting to get yourself into or back into position. Also, you have to be explosive and change cadence often or you'll get read like you all demonstrated here.

On the 1 23, if he would incorporated the shift to your outside and fired the upper cut you were caught, or blocked it, bit def would not have the opportunity to oush him away

i mean theres more to the peekaboo style then bobiing sidr to side as well they dont just bob there head side to side they can slip bit also weeve down ward for the hooks but yes everything else i agree with

Great video only one thing i did n t see is that most of the time when mike tyson slipped y turn into a southpaw so i was able to counter well . That was a greatest acids from Mike

Could you show us your techniques against a boxer that is training the peek-a-boo style.

Also what I noticed some guys I spar with that are learning this style they run out of gas because this style is physically taxing.

nice
