Lots in this. Mikes ability to turn his hips is unmatched. Even when drill was over me “shadowed” it 1 more time. He contacted me about SUG, I thought he was kidding. Now I think I need to calling him back. https://t.co/Qdrq4yQAkQ

“I feel like three guys kicked the S*** out of me”- Mike Tyson
“I do two hours on cardio, I do the bike and the treadmill for an hour, then I do some light weights, 300, 250 reps. Then I start my day with the boxing thing, I go in there and hit the mitts, 30 minutes, 25 minutes, start getting in better condition. I’m starting to put those combinations together. I’m in pain, I feel like three guys kicked the s*** out of me.” Said Tyson
