Tyson in attack
If you watch the early fights of Mike Tyson he would use power and pressure to drive his opponent's 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 will use this 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 MMA 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.
Ali in Counter
Ali would backpeddle and use his fast jab and set his opponents up for fast powerful cross.
Against Liston he ended it with jabs.
In his second Liston fight he used ABD to draw Liston onto a power cross.
When Foreman fought Frasier he took his head off with a power hook.
When Ali fought Foreman - the Rumble In The Jungle - he used "Rope a Dope" to defend and took Foreman out with straight blasts.
In counter we fight like Ali - this applies to KB, Thai and MMA as well.

Tyson drops him like a toilet seat!
