Chapter 18: Program interview

There are still more than twenty days before the national competition of the Golden Gloves. During this time, Tyson intends to find a few skillful training partners.
So he told Kus his thoughts.
"This is a good idea, and I also have this idea. Now Tommy and Teddy as your sparring partners can no longer meet your actual combat. Some time ago we had some problems with money, Carmel has told me, you solve it In view of those troublesome things, now that you have won the championship, there is also a prize of 50,000 US dollars, which will allow you to spend some time on sparring. "
Tyson said: "Yes Kus, but I don't have the right person right now, you know, I'm just a person who focuses on boxing, I don't know many boxers, I can't find a suitable partner."
Practice this kind of thing, not just go to the street and negotiate a good price to pull a few people, this job needs a professional to complete.
With the strength of Tyson now, general boxers can't do sparring, because those people can't carry his heavy punches even if he wears super thick gloves.
So finding a sparring partner is a hassle.
Kus said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will find the right person for you in two days, how about three people? Three sparring partners plus Teddy, a total of five people.
Five people serve as sparring for himself. Tyson felt that this should be almost the same, and then he agreed.
Kus stood up and said: "Okay Mike, I will give you the news. Now you should clear it up and we will participate in a talk show right away."
This is just a small program on a local channel, even so Kus still took out his gray suit jacket and wore a colorful sports shirt inside.
After the two had changed their clothes, Teddy sent them to the studio.
Kus sat on the sofa prepared by the program crew, sitting upright, with no expression on his face.
Next to Tyson acted a lot more relaxed.
The host is a middle-aged man in his forties. His face is very small, but he has two big beards and looks very funny. His name is Alex.
Alex asked: "Mr. Kus, how did you discover Tyson?"
Kus said: "A friend said to me that day: Mr. Kus, I found a promising young man. He was very talented and worked hard, but there were some problems in his life. So I asked the guy A friend took the teenager to my boxing gym. When I saw him at first glance, I knew that this kid was the one I had been waiting for. I could see his future, just like a video, it could be in me In his head staged his life in the boxing ring, I told everyone that he will become the king of boxing. "
"I have been thinking about how to cultivate a perfect boxer in my life. For me, who can accomplish this goal? I know what traits the future champion needs and who can cope with all challenges, no matter what How difficult it is to constantly surpass everything around me. Yes, Mike Tyson is him. "
"Like karate, I teach him various movements, let him perform the tasks I entrust to him, and train myself according to my training method, so his body can make various appropriate reactions and Adjustment, even if his opponent is not strong, he can still do it. "
"He has a lightning fast punch speed, which makes his opponents unprepared. He has excellent speed and coordination, and has an instinctive grasp of the timing. He can always make the most correct response at the most correct time. These usually require It can only be achieved in ten years, even if you practice boxing every day, day after day.

"However, Tyson has reached that level within three years. He is willing to accept my ideas and the training tasks I have arranged for him. He never complained about training, let alone because of some The training program was terminated by a minor matter. "
"I will talk to him a lot, and I want to understand what kind of person he is, so that I can understand his psychology and let him find his own style. I need to peel him off layer by layer. With a poisonous coat on his body, when he was found to be real, he exposed his heart. After completing these, the speed of progress will be very fast. "
Alex asked again in a timely fashion: "When you stripped Mike Tyson's coat, what did you find?"
Kus hesitated for a few seconds and seemed to really organize his own language.
He said: "I know what I think I can find: a good boxer with the ability to become the greatest boxer or world champion. When I discovered this, my task became to let him discover And understand this. Because unless he is aware of it like me, these traits will not have much effect on him. In my view of the ability to control, the ability to always accomplish what I should do no matter what I think in my heart, In order to measure a person ’s professional ability. "
"I think Mike is quickly approaching this state. He has been getting closer and closer to the most important key points. With only a little difference, he can have the world's greatest boxers must do."
"In our opinion, aside from the unpredictable situation, if this state can continue undisturbed, if we can continue the hard training of various supporting, he will become the greatest boxer, no one."
Tyson next to him, his heart blossomed.
Alex continued to ask: "You are very old, seventy-two years old, Mike Tyson is so young, how did you train him? Will you encounter great difficulties?"
Kus was silent for more than ten seconds this time before answering: "I often said to him: I know you don't understand what I mean, but I will tell him what I mean now, because if it was not him who came to me , I probably wo n’t live today. "
"I've been waiting for such a person to come to me all my life, God sent him to me, let me wait hard without wasting."
"He can appear here, do what he is doing, and he is doing very well, perfect, and constantly improving, this fact gave me the motivation and interest to continue to live, because I believe that without these I Tomorrow will die, nature is smarter than people think. "
"People will slowly lose their friends they care about, and they will gradually lose their interest. Knowing that in the end I might think: I am really just a rotten boxing coach? My training methods are outdated? What other reason do I have to live? ? "
"Now I have a reason, it is Mike. He is my motivation, I will live, I will watch him succeed, become the greatest boxer, reach a level beyond my imagination. Until then, I will not leave .. We will race against time, and I will use all my energy to fight death. "
"At that time, I will die, but not only does he know how to punch, he can understand many things, and he already knows how to take care of himself."
Hearing this, Tyson next to him felt like a mountain.
Tyson knows that this is Kus deliberately put pressure on him, Kuss believes that he can handle these pressures well, and transformed into motivation.
Alex still raised new questions, but the question was directed at Tyson.
"Mike Tyson, what do you think your future will look like? What is your dream?"
Tyson spread his hands and thought for a while, said: "If you dream, it will only exist when you first start. Having dreams will inspire motivation. Some people say that I will become a boxer with millions of dollars every year. But I know that I am It ’s more important than anyone. They do n’t know what I have experienced. They think I ’m born like this, but no one knows what I paid for when I went down this path. "
"Boxing is the easiest part of boxing. When walking to the ring, it feels like a vacation. But when I return to the training hall, I need to train again and again until my body is sore "I don't want to do this again." Appears, and then I will erase that voice and let myself repeat training. I can have fun until it is like basketball and football. "
"Now I am playing amateur games, so I am very interested in those trophies and medals, but when I become a professional boxer one day, I will throw those trophies and medals into the trash, they will not help me. I want to make money, I want to change those who I can change, maybe one day I will like the big stars of the beauty and will shout to them: Hey, come to my arms. I will like to pass a lot of money to the tramps, So I need to choose the right method and do what I like. This is a good feeling. "
……
When the program recording was completed, it was already nine o'clock in the night.
So the three of them had to eat something in the nearby restaurant.
"This is a great day, isn't it?" Tyson said.
Kus is also very happy, he said: "Of course, today is great, I have not been on TV for a long time, I think when was the last time I went to TV? 65 years or 66 years."
Teddy is also very happy, maybe he is also the first time to go to that kind of place, although he did not accept the interview, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is just watching below.
After driving home, the three went to rest separately.
Tyson exercised as usual until eleven o'clock before lying in bed.
At noon the next day, Kus found Tyson who was training.
Was followed by three people behind him.
"Mike, the training partner has already found you."
These are three very strong people, and their body looks heavy.
This fits Tyson's appetite.
The short-haired white man with a rare aquiline nose, his name is Nick.
There is also a black man, the strongest and tallest of the three, his name is Eric.
The rest is also a white man named Alva.
Kus said: "Mike, you need to pay them five hundred and eighty dollars each week."
"no problem."
Weekly $ 580 per person, plus Tommy and Teddy are $ 2900, which is about $ 12,000 a month.
The money is totally worth to Tyson now.
What he lacks most now is a lot of actual combat experience.
So far he has played too few matches, plus there are no fifteen games with black boxing.
Most of the games are ended in one round. How can such games improve their skills.
So he needs five sparring players to fight with him in wheel fight.
Only after playing 15 rounds, the task of sparring is meaningful, he can find what he wants in actual combat.
Kus made people sort out the boxing, and then said to all of them: "Well, you can practice training with Mike."
