Was Hypnotism the Reason for Mike Tyson's Success? | JRE Fight Companion

That's holyfield did it bro. There was a Really interesting interview with Mike Tyson the other day man on his Instagram page My Tyson's a deep motherfucker man. He's so deep. He'd been through some shit. He's so deep, you know I mean he was just talking about like His his life and like what he used to try to say to himself to pump himself up because he has low self-esteem You know what Tom when he was on he was on your podcast, right? man it one question I want someone to ask him is they've mentioned it before but No one ever gets really too deep into it on you know The fact that custom auto had him hip not he did it he talked about on the podcast in depth And then when cuss died did the hypnotism stop? Yeah cuz cuss was doing it cuss was hypnotist when he was 13 He was a little kid cuss was hypnotizing. Maybe he Didn't so good demon you know he hypnotized him into being a machine. Yeah Tell him he would tell well there's so many factors right first of all is his terrible childhood, right? Yes, Mike had a terrible childhood no love and then all sudden he finds out that he's crazy crazy physically gifted I guess I mean Teddy Atlas told me that when Mike Tyson was 13 years old They would take him to these little amateur fights and he was 190 pounds 13 years old 190 just fucking just a just naturally Jack some of the 13 year old like what they didn't believe him They made him fight like 16 17 year olds cuz they're like he's not 13 He's I wonder if there's a video of him being hypnotized backstage. I wonder Maybe that was the fucking coast. I'm I said he would do it backstage before he walked out. I don't know about that I don't know Yeah, before the fights he would get it up guys before the fights backstage Well, he hypnotized him from the time that he was really young and he told him they're like like you don't exist It's just the task the task at hand. She would have to just break these guys down He was still still these are all these factors right the guy has no love He has this terrible childhood Then he's physically gifted and he winds up with a fucking one of the all-time great boxing coaches Particularly for the mind yes, and Teddy Atlas when Teddy was young in his prime was also an amazing boxing coach And he's up in the Catskills where he's up in the mountains in this secluded environment so he can concentrate only on Boxing he's getting hypnotized and he's watching Jimmy Jacobs Has this insane library of fights everything from Jack Dempsey to Joe Louis to Henry Armstrong He's like he's watching the all-time greats He's watching like all this black and white footage Jack Johnson under his day. Oh, I don't know what a story I don't know but but there's so much that led to him becoming you know at least for a few years the greatest heavyweight boxer ever And you think the hypnosis stuff actually worked? Yeah, fuck shit fuck yeah for sure it happened to another people Yeah, you could hypnotize people look at his face when he'd walk into the ring them early fights He looked like a murderer. Yeah, he was gonna look a monster. He was a monster. He was incredible man So I mean look no one can sustain the kind of pace that he kept up on the early days But man when he like when he I still maintain when he fought Marvis Frazier That was as scary as a heavyweight has ever been When he fought Michael Spinks, he's as scary as a heavyweight was a phenom, right? It was just like this what his fight was like everybody shut down watched it Yeah, they would start students of people complain. It was too short You would think that maybe there'd be some UFC fighters that are getting it. Yeah, like well, what's up? They are I'm sure they don't have a show Vinny. Shorman does that shit? He's our Vinny. Shorman. He's a He's a hypnotist. He's also a commentator deal Sanchez. This is Tyson the early days How that's him a Marvis Frazier look at that face the Marvis Frazier fight dude. That was the fight That was the scare. Oh, they're all scared. Remember Bruce Seldin space. Oh, yeah Bruce Seldin got knocked out by a punch. That's the worst because of his afro. That's by far the worst Dude, Mike Tyson was just destroying people back in the day just destroying people. It was a different time man. Look at this boom That was when he won the title It was a different, you know, the heavyweight division before him was bullshitting. I still didn't test back But I hate to be a stickler. You could say the same thing. I hate to be that guy that they didn't test back Do you think he was on the sauce? Tyson Come on, bro. Do you think he was? Wouldn't Tyson admit that I think he would he would he's got anyone ever asked him. It's a good question I'm not asking him. I would ask him. I would ask you should have I should have I didn't think it's what they did back then I don't think you needed everybody on G was small. Look at a vendor. Holy small. He didn't get a vendor Holyfield. He could win Okay, I was in Olympia Came out of jail though. If Andrew Holyfield for sure did something Yeah, when Tyson came out of jail when Tyson came out of jail, he was so ridiculously ripped What was that McNeilly? Is that his name? I think duty fought? Yeah People do the roads in jail. Oh, you're my Tyson. They've got him stakes and Roy's probably eating prime rib every night His time in jail no didn't we talked about so many we you know after three he's talking to Mike motherfucking Tyson Yeah, you don't go to deep very hours. Yeah for three hours. You only get so much you could talk about you know it was It was just incredible to be you know you know the funniest take on him Camaro Usman Camaro Usman said he was doing this thing with Mike Tyson. He's hanging out. He goes he goes and then he goes It's like you're sitting next to a lion And it's like that's really Mike Tyson. It's like a lion's there. Yeah, you're I hope he keeps it together Destroyer I've done a podcast with him And it was like as one of his first podcast is me him and Brian was there Tyson's on the side of me here at the exact same thing I was like well, we didn't freak the fuck out and he's in he's in all sweats And he was so out of it like on medication. I was like is he yeah He's like a drugged up lion at that day. Yeah, I wonder if they got him on medication now if it's just weed I think it was before the weed he was on this medication and then it was you know not his fault He's kind of out to lunch on these pills, but it was a weird podcast And that funny though you guys get on all these pills and weed just sorts it all out yep Remember that story you talked about when he used to date that one Robin Givens, and then they broke up They were probably married right did they get married to get married and then after they got divorced He said he was apparently still banging her every now and then and then he shows up and like Brad Pitts with her Brad Pitt was thinking Mike Tyson pulls up in a Porsche my Tyson Mike you stay in the room while he fucks Robin You know you never know how far fuck my dick and then I'm gonna come in your face Sit on that chair right there.
