McGirt: Tyson training hard!

January 15, 2005

By Lisa Scott

'Iron' Mike Tyson has the best curve ball in the sport of boxing. Weeks after telling the press that he no longer has an interest in fighting and that he may never step foot in the ring again, the former two-time heavyweight champ has hired James 'Buddy' McGirt to train him and has spent the week at McGirt's gym in Vero Beach - all amid rumors and statements from the legendary Roberto Duran that he was pegged to take over the role as Tyson's new trainer.
Initially, the 38 year old Tyson sought McGirt's services prior to his fight with Clifford Etienne in 2003. When McGirt declined, the highly respected Freddie Roach was brought in for Tyson's fights with Etienne and then Danny Williams last July.

Fightnews spoke to McGirt.

Are you now officially Mike Tyson's new trainer?
Yep. We've been working together all this week. Mike is going to take Saturday and Sunday off and we go back to the gym again on Monday. Let me tell ya, working with Mike has been really exciting for me AND it's a great learning experience. It's made me realize that every coach has their masterpiece... and Mike Tyson is Cus D'Amato's masterpiece. What Cus taught him... what Cus did with him... is truly amazing. I don't think Cus could have gotten the same results with of any other fighter. I always thought Cus' system was all about the peek-a-boo style. But it's not. It's about positioning yourself to throw punches... and Mike does it VERY well. Mike is extremely gifted and it's incredible to watch him. The other day Mike and I were walking down the street and I told him 'Man, you know... you're Cus D'Amato's masterpiece!' Mike agreed with me, and told me that Cus told him that he's one fighter that he never would have to protect.

What is your game plan for training Mike?
At this point in time, you can't have Mike try anything different. You have to get him back to what he used to do and what he knows best. There's no other way. The important thing now, is that Mike understands that.

What is you opinion on Mike's last fight with Danny Williams?
If Mike didn't injure his knee, I think he would have knocked Williams out. Once his knee went... that was it. Anyone could see that Mike injured his knee, because he grabbed it the minute it happened. Williams knew he had a hurt man in front of him and he took advantage of it.

How has Mike's knee been holding up during your training with him?
So far... his knee is looking good. He's been working out and it hasn't been giving him any problems.

What is Mike's training regimen like?
He's been working out three times a day! He does his running, conditioning and then boxing. But every day is different. He switches up and changes his routine around. But the important thing is that he is training. In the gym, he's working on trying to do the things he used to do, and to go back to the style that he used to have. He wants to get away from relying on one punch. He's focusing on a lot on combinations.

Do you feel that Mike has a renewed interest in fighting? Does he seem to enjoy or look forward to his training?
Yes. Absolutely! I can tell just by the way he talks and the things he works on in the gym. For instance, he'll keep working on something until we both feel that it's right. If I tell him his balance is off, he'll keep working until his balance isn't off. In other words, he'll keep doing something until he gets it done the right way. It's interesting, but most importantly... it's a lot of fun.

Mike has long been the object of much scuttlebutt. Yet a few months ago, a vicious rumor was purposely circulated that he was 'depressed' and involving himself heavily with 'cocaine.' In your time with Mike, has his persona or athletic performance indicated as such?
Not at all. Seeing the way that Mike has been working in the gym, the interest that he's been showing and all the running that he's been doing, it's hard for me to believe that he was doing all that stuff. People will always talk about other people, no matter what. Especially about Mike. If people don't know what he's doing, they'll take something small and make something big out of it.

I'm hearing that Mike's entourage consists of only himself. There are no more hangers-on and he's re-dedicated himself. Is this true?
Absolutely true. And... there's no music in the gym while he's training either! Mike was down here doing roadwork on his own. When he came to me (last weekend), he told me what he wanted to do. I told him: 'I'm here baby, when you're ready... let me know!' The next morning at 6:30, my phone rings. It's Mike. He tells me: 'Lets Go!' I said: 'I'll see you at the gym in a few minutes!' Ever since that day, I've been waking up at 4:30 and 5:00 o'clock in the morning... just so I'm ready to go to the gym! (Laughing).

You have a huge stable of fighters and many have upcoming bouts, namely Arturo Gatti. How is it going with Tyson now in the mix?
In the times that Mike has decided to do his gym work in the afternoons, he'll work out a little bit and leave when he sees Arturo (or others) getting ready to train. He'll say 'Buddy, I'll be back when they're done.' And... Mike comes back! I don't have to look for him or nothing! Mike is good friends with Arturo and he knows that Arturo has a big fight coming up.

In 2003, Mike asked you to train him for his fight against Clifford Etienne but you declined. What were the circumstances behind your decision to instead train Clifford?
I had just made a commitment to Clifford. Then, the next day Mike called me. I couldn't break my word to Clifford. But after that fight, Mike told me that he understood why I did what I did and that he respected me for it. It was the first thing he said when he hugged me right after the fight. Now, when Clifford and Mike see each other in the gym, they joke around with each other about that fight.

You've known Mike since his amateur days. What did you think when you first saw him fight?
The first time I saw Mike fight was in 1983 at Grossingers. He was sparring with Frank Bruno. He was 16 years old and kicking the shit out of Frank! I thought: 'This guy is a KILLER!' Kevin Rooney put him in there with no head gear... well, it was a little head gear , but it looked like NO head gear to me! Mike was 16 years old and ran Frank Bruno right out of the ring! I thought 'DAMN!' Then, Al Certo leaned over to me and said 'You're looking at the next greatest heavyweight champion.' Then in 1985 or 1986, we fought on the same card together.

Any word on when Tyson will be fighting next?
I don't know. I haven't heard anything. I'm just waitin'... that's it.

What is your 'wish list' of opponents for Tyson? Who would you like to see him fight and in what order?
Honestly? It really doesn't make a difference. There's no one out there who can beat him. I know that! When his mind is right, there's no stopping Mike. Right now, he's got the right attitude. And, with that attitude... all I can say is that I'm glad that I'm in his corner!


Tyson hat als 16-jähriger schon Frank Bruno verprügelt? Da war Bruno schon 20! Da hat Tyson ihn ja mindestens 3 mal verprügelt.

Glaube auch , daß der sich das nicht traut , weil er sich dann strafbar machen würde: http://bundesrecht.juris.de/bundesrecht/stgb/__168.html

Aber im Ernst.Tyson ist nicht mehr so gefürchtet wie er es mal war.

Wenn es danach ginge dann hätten Spinatus und Weichimir Klitschko, Dariusz Wodkatiger, und Svenni jeder so seine 800 Jahre wegen notorischer dutzendfacher Leichenschändung bekommen müssen :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

Du wärest ein Richter mit der gleichen Objektivität wie der berüchtigte Freisler ...

Timo, Rahman, Toni Co würdest Du trotz zigfacher Leichenschändung ungestraft laufen lassen .....
Typisch Franz.

Mike Tyson “kneeds” Physio E-mail this to a friend Printable version




By: James Blears

Superstar Trainer Freddie Roach is warning that the knee which Mike Tyson damaged so badly in his last fight, against Britain’s Danny Williams could buckle and betray him again at any time, because he’s not done the necessary exercises to build it back following successful surgery.

Freddie was in Mexico City at a press conference between his Filipino phenomenon, Manny Pacquiao, and Mexico’s three-time world champion Erik Morales.

Freddie trained Mike in the build up to the Williams fight, which he lost, after he got injured.

Mike was inactive after the operation for a while, but that’s over, because he’s been training a couple of weeks down at the Elite Boxing Gym in Vero Beach, Florida with another very talented trainer Buddy McGirt.


Freddie said: “Downtime is bad for Mike, because he doesn’t do anything and he never did re-hab on the knee, so I’m worried a little bit about him in that aspect, because if he didn’t do re-hab, it could blow out again. And he has no power if he can’t punch off his legs.”

Freddie also stressed that Mike has been around in boxing a very long time, and explained the fatigue factor by commenting:

“We trained pretty hard for that fight and he just mentally got tired after just four rounds. He’s been a pro for a long time, and I wonder if Mike should fight any more. He needs a little more discipline. If he wants to win fights, he needs a little more discipline. And I like Mike- the thing is I’d like to see him retire. But if he asked me to help him get ready for a fight I would because I do like him. Buddy’s a good trainer, so maybe he’ll have some success with him. And I wish Mike the best of luck.”

And in spite of his practical doubts, Freddie explained that a fully prepared, totally trained Mike Tyson could still make it back to the top, even by topping John Ruiz or Lamon Brewster and he added: “ I think so, and if Mike did it correctly he would also knock out Vitali Klitschko, if he got into the shape he needs to be in, but I’m not sure that will happen.

“Again, I like Mike, he’s a good friend of mine and I wish him all the best, and hopefully he’ll come back.”
