Okay, so the other day, I was watching some old boxing matches on YouTube, and I started wondering about Mike Tyson. You know, the famous boxer? The guy who bit off a chunk of someone’s ear? Yeah, that guy. Anyway, I got curious about whether he was right-handed or left-handed.
I mean, when you watch him fight, he’s just a beast. He knocks people out with both hands, so it’s kinda hard to tell. So, I did what any normal person would do – I went down a rabbit hole on the internet.
First, I watched a bunch of his old fights. I was looking closely at how he moved, how he threw his punches, trying to figure out his dominant hand. He was so quick and powerful; it was tough to say. I felt like a detective trying to solve a mystery!
- Watched a ton of Mike Tyson’s boxing matches.
- Tried to analyze his movements and punches.
- Still couldn’t figure out if he was right or left-handed.
Then, I started digging through articles and interviews. I found out something interesting. Apparently, he started out as a southpaw, which means he led with his right hand. But then, his trainer, Cus D’Amato, switched him to an orthodox stance, meaning he led with his left hand.
The Big Discovery
This was a game-changer! It explained why he was so good with both hands. He was trained to be strong on both sides. I felt like I had finally cracked the case. It was a real “Aha!” moment.
I also stumbled upon an interview where he admitted to crying before every fight. Apparently, he didn’t like the “vicious side of himself” that emerged when he fought. That was an interesting bit of info, but it didn’t really help me with my right-hand-left-hand investigation, but hey, it’s all part of the journey, right?
So, after all that digging, I finally had my answer. Mike Tyson, the boxing legend, was originally a southpaw but was trained to fight orthodox. Mystery solved! It was a fun little adventure, and I learned a lot about boxing and Mike Tyson along the way.
