Tyson in attack

If you watch the early fights of Mike Tyson he would use power and pressure to drive his opponents back to the ropes or corner and finish them with powerful short range hooks and uppercuts.

He rarely used the jab and cross as blows in their own right, just for pressure.

Watch his fights against Burbank and Spinks when he took their titles.
Watch his fight against Pinkton Thomas and his first fight with Bruno.

In attack we use the Tyson concept:
enter,
drive the opponent back with pressure,
terminate with close range hooks and uppercuts.

In KB we add kicks to phase entry and pressure.

In Thai we use Knees to terminate in the clinch.

In VT we use takedowns and the ground and pound for pressure and terminate or terminate with a choke or lock.

In street we use the whole HKE at termination phase.
