 I rewatched a video of Tyson training, and I find myself wondering why he didn’t show the same speed on match night 🤔 he looked like he still had it 🔥 
 Tyson moved okay in the first round, but then slowed right down into the second.

Notice how none of the training videos are showing him sparring with a partner? It's only him hitting pads or the bag for a short number of seconds. 
 i saw several of him sparring 
 Interesting, I haven't seen any. Happen to have links by chance? 
 no. 🤷 
 Found a few. Just had to switch from "Tyson Training" to "Tyson Sparring" 😆

All there are are a few 5-10 second clips. Nothing really to evaluate.

Maybe related, GSP discussed the strategy he used vs BJ Penn to slow down his speed & reaction. I believe this was on the Lex Fridman podcast.
