He would do it when he was in trouble. Rewatch some amateur fights, you will see it there. Also rewatch Tyson/Douglas, when he started losing the fight he did it. Maybe during the Holyfield fights as well, not sure on those though.
@@IronMike_Tython did he? Ur saying Teddy said to bet on Mike? Damn. I didn't listen to anybody. Knew it was staged and bet Paul Decision. Easiest bet I've made all year.

No he didn't he did it to get out of the fight. He could of payed holyfield back with a headbutt of his own in the clinch or hid the elbow behind the left hook or throw an uppercut a little bit low and not get the DQ.
Exactly and when you go on eating shrooms for 5 years strisght nonestop everywhere at all times your biting fixation then will increase. He also was tought to do that to keep his hands up very early on so he makes sure to do that also. But yes its also a tick lol.
@MrCBTman thats all he did he talks about it all the time on his podcast and he's always got them in his mouth. Thats probably why it doesn't effect him much. He does massive massive amounts that everyone gets shocked by. Just saying he always has them in his mouth. Except for during this camp of course.
Mike bit his gloves numerous times INSTEAD of taking clear counter shots. I never seen Mike bite his gloves anything near like that in all his fights I've watched. That fight was fixed.
Not 5 minutes after the fight concluded, Tyson said he has an oral fixation. He didn't make it seem mysterious or scary. Most prized fighters market themselves as aggressive. Tyson has spent the last 15 years talking about how fearful he really was during his time in the ring.
Yes also I heard a stipulation in the contract to get paid. Tyson cannot knock Jake Paul out in first 2 rounds or he does not get paid. If true it shows that this Jake Paul needs every advantage to win even against a 58 year old. Its best Canelo just fights this guy and destroys him, finish this whole clout chasing game. It was rigged and Tyson was injured too. Mike has the money and should have done the KO.
@@Whitemike63 and yet none of you have any evidence for this nonsense, just what you want to believe. I can't believe there are some casuals who still think Tyson was able to beat a man 30 years younger.
@@yorkiemike I knew Jake was gonna win Tyson is too old. It was Joe Rogan who exposed the stipulations. I never seen Mike bite his gloves and to have a knockout by Tyson cause him too not get paid is ridiculous. The weight of those huge gloves was already a red flag for Tyson to lose. Those stipulations are ridiculous. Tyson is already handcuffed at his age. Is Joe Rogan making all this up ?
@@Whitemike63 "It was Joe Rogan who exposed the stipulations"> I didn't see Rogan provide any evidence either. And the weight of the gloves...mate come on you're clutching at straws now.
There’s Not One Fight In Mike’s Career Where He Ever Did Some Shit Like That… I’m Sure Ppl Can Find A Couple Moments Where He Might’ve Briefly Clenched His Teeth On A Glove, But Fullout CHEWING On His Gloves Nonstop Round After Round? Fck No!
It demonstrates how dumb we are. People are making this claim, ON RUclips while offering zero evidence. No video. No nothing. But they still claim it happened. Man, we are fully embarrassing.
I think the biting was sending a signal to JP. Part of a plan? An indication something was coming? I never saw Mike bite his glove during his career, prime or after.
@@tomscholte603It was more obvious because it was going to be a signal to Paul. That signal was telling Paul to ease on the hard punches. Paul caught Tyson with some hard punches.
@@eriklarson9137 you want everyone to do your work for you? I appreciate this is the first boxing match you've watched, but maybe go back and watch some of Tyson's older fights and see for yourself.
Honestly my first thought when I saw it was that it looked like a nervous tic or coping mechanism. That’s what made more sense to me than him biting his glove so he wouldn’t bike Paul’s ear.
I agree he bit his gloves before, but on this fight he did way more. The reason being that the biting of the glove was going to be a signal to Paul. The signal was telling Paul to ease off on the hard punches. At times Paul forgot it was fixed fight and hit Tyson hard.
The "casual" Tyson fans who swear that he could have knocked out Jake Paul, but he held back... make me laugh. The "casuals" know NOTHING about boxing. The truth is, Jake Paul restrained himself from knocking out the old man. Mike Tyson is 58 years old. He could barely move. He walks with a cane. What you saw on fight night was the very best that a 58 year old Mike Tyson could do.
I don't think you understand the difference in level between a real pro boxer like Tyson and Jake Paul. Tyson could still literraly kill a guy like Paul in less and two minutes if he wanted. A couple of proper punches, even at 58, would be enough.
@@sylvainmirouf4683 Tyson at 58 was in no condition to beat Jake Paul at all. If he could have won, he would have. Jake Paul may be a mid-level amateur at best, but he is only 27, and that's why he won. Father Time remains undefeated.
@@sylvainmirouf4683 Yes, but he would have to have the balance and agility to land those punches. And he couldn't. Anyone who seriously watches boxing could see how much Mike's legs had deteriorated since the Jones exhibition. Roy said it himself as soon as Mike came out for the 1st round. I love Mike and wanted nothing more than to see him bust Jake Paul's face! But it just wasn't possible. Jake is 27 and, like him or not, takes boxing seriously and trains very hard. Not a single pro boxer at any level has questioned this. Does that make him a great fighter? Of course not! But he had enough conditioning and know how to make sure a 58 year old man, who could have still knocked him out with one punch if he could land, just couldn't get near him when he wasn't throwing himself. It's simple. No conspiracy. This is just life. And it sucks sometimes.
@@tomscholte603 That's pretty much it. I watched the fight for sentimental reasons and I was hoping to see some of the old Mike Tyson back (that we saw a little bit of in the Roy Jones fight--but even that was 4 years ago), but Tyson was in no condition to be able to get himself into position to impose his will against an athlete who was 30+ years younger than himself. Without proper footwork, a boxer is completely helpless. I watched the fight with my brothers and we enjoyed having beers during the show. Some of the undercard fights were entertaining.
@@sylvainmirouf4683 I don't think you understand the difference between a 58 year old man who can't walk, and a fit man 30 years younger. Tyson could not literally kill a guy like Paul, hence he didn't
I was not expecting such a casual answer from a man so knowledgeable like Teddy Atlas, very surprised indeed. The actual reason is because Mike is a come forward fighter and when he gets backed up/continuously out-pointed/is down on scorecards, he knows he can not out box the opponent due to his shorter reach and style, so he then knows to resort to a one-punch KO to get him out of trouble, aka "The Eraser".. he bites his gloves because he is loading up and looking for one big shot or when he is frustrated because he can not unload the power he knows he has, so keeps his anger concealed until he finds the right moment/pocket to unload it.
I believe Teddy and Mike. I believe that his biting is a nervous/anxious reaction. I believe that Mike does have a fixation on biting, as he said in his interview.
58 year old man looked like he was gonna die in between rounds. He wasn't gassed I agree. He was way passed gassed. You don't know anything about boxing. Casual.
@ lol casual? You actually think it was a real fight? How come there was no cuts or scratches? How come Tyson didn’t throw any combinations even from the start? No dirty boxing, no punching to get out of the clench which there was clenches. And then at the end of the fight several rounds Tyson is just standing in front of Jake and Jake doesn’t go for the kill? Easily a paid decision for Jake. get some sleep, kiddo.
@@ryannath85 Yeah, he gassed out and maybe Jake even could have KO:ed him in the later rounds but held back... BUT... Mike could have KO:ed Jake in the first rounds but wasted his energy by holding back his best punches while at the same time doing the energy consuming footwork, dodging and squatting. Jake won by having a young mans better stamina and lighter body weight to carry for 8 rounds. Mike gassed out and had worse and worse use of his injured knee. He's not using that leg at all in later rounds.
@@d_no_allyn_86 lol way to cherry pick what about Jake didn’t go for the kill for the last half of the fight with Tyson standing in front of him? How come Mike didn’t throw any combinations in the first half of the fight his only chance? “Punches in bunches” You’re telling me he was gassedfrom the first 30 seconds? You must not be a Tyson fan. How come there was no dirty boxing? How come no punching to get out of the clinch which there was clenches. Maybe rewatch the fight. It’s a payday. Mike needed the money. I’m glad he got paid but he wasted our Friday night. Clearly this is not just my opinion.
I followed Mike through his career, never saw the thumb biting like that. He was too busy knocking everyone out. Seemed like frustration and some sort of reminder, like every time he could have landed something great he bit his gloves instead. Who knows. Only he knows
Correct. Nothing AT ALL about Tyson being “smart” or marketing himself. Dude is getting his ass kicked and somehow Atlas thinks he’s conducting marketing sessions in the ring. Teddy is an extremely low IQ guy.
Mike simply didn't have the legs to compete in that fight. After the first couple of minutes in the 1st round, Mike's legs were dead, and he knew it. That's what happens when you are 58 years old. It wasn't rigged either. Jake just didn't want to take a chance of mixing it up with Tyson too much, and letting him land something clean. Those legs were one of the keys to Tyson's success, and it's also one of the reasons for his fall from grace later in his career. If he was a Lennox Lewis type of fighter, then he might have had a bit more success against Jake trying outpoint him, but he isn't a huge guy with a long reach. He relied on mobility, and footwork to succeed even more than his punching power back when he was the baddest man on the planet.
BS teddy. Tyson bit his glove because he couldn’t unleash hell on Jake Paul . It’s like a savage dog tied up and can’t rip into strangers entering the property.
Mike was biting his gloves because he wanted to go full throttle but was holding back clearly jake said something after first round in clinch was clearly a planned exhibition no ko clause and Tyson got a set amount for going to end
I have followed and got to watch most of his fights through out his career. I have always thought he bit his gloves to remind himself to keep his gloves up. Guard up, hands up. Protect your face. I boxed as a kid and I had a reminder to keep my gloves up. 😀👊🙏
i dont agree with that.. if that were the case do it 5 10 or 15 times,, he bit the fricken glove every 3 seconds and probably over 100 times,, he bit that glove more times in that jake paul fight than he has his entire pro career combined,, reason for it , he could have knocked the absolute shit out of paul many times, and it was to calm him down and stop from throwing punches in bunches,, tyson still very capable of hurting someone,,
Dude, did you notice Tyson's legs? His balance was totally screwed. I think he was frustrated that he knew he couldn't get his shots off. Not that he was holding back.
@tomscholte603 there is footage of him holding back numerous times . He went to throw punches and half way through he pulled back .. his legs were off because he was injured with that knee brace ..
@@Michael-zh8yl there isn't footage of him holding back. There is footage of him choosing to not throw punches as he realises he is out of range/Paul is moving away. Anyone who thinks he is holding back has no idea of how boxing works.
@@Michael-zh8yl Mate ask a professional boxer. Many of them have made videos laughing off that very premise and saying ppl that know boxing know that he was just choosing not to throw a shot that wouldn't land.
My only input is as a therapist qualified in psychology this was, in my opinion, a neurological chemical response to too much or too little of something.
After that first round tyson realized that paul was Nowhere near the caliber boxer that tyson used to fight constantly. And he didn't want to hurt Him. Compare the first round to every other round And honestly ask yourself, do you think Tyson got gassed?Or do you think that something was said to hinder in that clinch? Something along the lines of what Logan said uh , Mayweather, " Come on man lighten up a little bit.."
An oral fixation, is a a term used in psychology from being neglected. Tyson talks about his relationship with his mom. Having a biting fixation is a trauma response, but it doesn't have anything to do with self esteem issues Teddy, some people use stress balls Tyson bites his glove.
Teddy didn't use the words self-esteem. He was talking about anxiety. Which is related to trauma, exactly as you say. If it soothed him then, it will sooth him know when his nerves are acting up. And, BTW, no one has been more candid about having low self-esteem (even if Teddy didn't mention it) and feeling fear in the ring than Iron Mike. Cus taught him how to use it to his advantage by channeling it into aggression. But it never went away. And probably doesn't for many fighters.
A glitch... Look at Leo Santa Cruz his lead hand always shakes n gitter,...just a nervous habit.. similar to a reflex glitch when a jab or cross lands clean. You become to alert n do weird stuff..
It would be interesting to see what Tyson could still do if he were fighting with actual malice and anger, with the benefit of adrenaline shooting through his system. Like a street fight instead of a boing match.
He bit down on his glove to stop himself knocking jakes head off.. Their money behind closed doors was to precious .. Thats why turki al sheikh offered 700 mil for a genuine fight and genuine Tyson
Okay so they keep saying he bit his gloves because he has done this in the past and it’s a habit he has had throughout his career. OKAY then show the footage……… I haven’t found one video of his old fights of him biting his gloves in the ring. I watched recently 3 full fights of his old fights and absolutely ZERO BITING. The real reason his bit his gloves was to slow his reactions down to not hit him. If you really stop and think you can’t just throw a punch on instinct when you got a glove in your mouth. It was a way to slow himself down and then the whole knee thing. I think that was BS also. It was fully rigged and he got laid 20 million to do it. I’m not knocking Mike one bit for doing it but let’s be real about this stuff.
Everyone in these comments talking how he bit his glove to hold back unleashing fury😂😂 did y'all not see dude waddling around in there like he was about to tip over at any given movement. Mike was done after 2nd round, didn't have a chance. The fact any of you thought a 58yr old man vs young adult was gonna be an actual fight is pathetic honestly.
This is the biggest crock of shit. He’s not biting his glove to look like a boogie man, he’s biting his glove because he struggles to control himself. It allows him to instantly release a violent urge without acting on the actual urge (killing someone). It was so prevalent in this fight more than others because of the extreme level of script coherence required. If he didn’t bite that glove, the other glove woulda knocked Jake back into his mamas womb.
The fight was rigged this was him reminding himself not to knock Jake out. Early in the fight he rang Jake's bell and then Jake grapples with him and reminds him about the payday for lasting 8 rounds. Mike still had it in him just look at his recent training videos. Why didn't we see that Mike that was tearing it up in training?
We know Mike didn't do this in other fights. So what, did Jake's people pay off Teddy too so he'd repeat this BS? Seems like it. I'm with those who believe the biting was a signal in a fixed fight
Strong theory. Is that based on anything other than Reddit and feeling like you know things? How long were you a pro boxer? Pro boxing coach? Never? Oh. Why have an opinion strong enough to post for the whole planet to see for eternity?
Maaaaaaaan thats bullshit. Mike has a podcast you NEVER seen him biting his hands n shit. Mike was biting those gloves to help keep his guard up because he old and tired.
I’ve watched every single fight of Mike and I’ve never see him bite his glove like that.
He would do it when he was in trouble. Rewatch some amateur fights, you will see it there. Also rewatch Tyson/Douglas, when he started losing the fight he did it. Maybe during the Holyfield fights as well, not sure on those though.

Mike simply didn't have the legs to compete in that fight. After the first couple of minutes in the 1st round, Mike's legs were dead, and he knew it. That's what happens when you are 58 years old. It wasn't rigged either. Jake just didn't want to take a chance of mixing it up with Tyson too much, and letting him land something clean. Those legs were one of the keys to Tyson's success, and it's also one of the reasons for his fall from grace later in his career. If he was a Lennox Lewis type of fighter, then he might have had a bit more success against Jake trying outpoint him, but he isn't a huge guy with a long reach. He relied on mobility, and footwork to succeed even more than his punching power back when he was the baddest man on the planet.
BS teddy. Tyson bit his glove because he couldn’t unleash hell on Jake Paul . It’s like a savage dog tied up and can’t rip into strangers entering the property.
oh dear…
Wow the delusion is strong in this one.

@@bluffem na man , you just have no clue
@@nunkito But you just used a space after a comma, no caps, no peroid. I should trust you?
Mike said, "biting fixation" not sensation 😂
Didn't he say Oral fixation?
Mike was biting his gloves because he wanted to go full throttle but was holding back clearly jake said something after first round in clinch was clearly a planned exhibition no ko clause and Tyson got a set amount for going to end
I was at Tyson VS McBride. Mike bit his glove in that fight when he started getting tired.
Not like this though
@SomeBodyIUsedToKnow8 Have you watched Tyson vs McBride in its entirety?
@@SomeBodyIUsedToKnow8
No it was way worse
@@tcb6857 yes. Nothing like vs Paul. Against Paul he did nothing other than suck on his glove lol
He bit them cuz he was fighting his ego knowing he can’t know Jake out but wanting to
The biting the glove was to signal to Jake to calm down becuase he was hurt.....
I have followed and got to watch most of his fights through out his career. I have always thought he bit his gloves to remind himself to keep his gloves up. Guard up, hands up. Protect your face. I boxed as a kid and I had a reminder to keep my gloves up. 😀👊🙏
i dont agree with that.. if that were the case do it 5 10 or 15 times,, he bit the fricken glove every 3 seconds and probably over 100 times,, he bit that glove more times in that jake paul fight than he has his entire pro career combined,, reason for it , he could have knocked the absolute shit out of paul many times, and it was to calm him down and stop from throwing punches in bunches,, tyson still very capable of hurting someone,,
Dude, did you notice Tyson's legs? His balance was totally screwed. I think he was frustrated that he knew he couldn't get his shots off. Not that he was holding back.
@tomscholte603 there is footage of him holding back numerous times . He went to throw punches and half way through he pulled back .. his legs were off because he was injured with that knee brace ..
@@Michael-zh8yl there isn't footage of him holding back. There is footage of him choosing to not throw punches as he realises he is out of range/Paul is moving away. Anyone who thinks he is holding back has no idea of how boxing works.
@@yorkiemike lol yeah ok whatever, u have no clue .. keep talking?
@@Michael-zh8yl Mate ask a professional boxer. Many of them have made videos laughing off that very premise and saying ppl that know boxing know that he was just choosing not to throw a shot that wouldn't land.
Either the thumb or your ear. Take your pick
My only input is as a therapist qualified in psychology this was, in my opinion, a neurological chemical response to too much or too little of something.
Let's admit it was him staying in check biting his glove because he didn't want to lose his f****** marbles and really beat Jacob
After that first round tyson realized that paul was Nowhere near the caliber boxer that tyson used to fight constantly. And he didn't want to hurt Him. Compare the first round to every other round And honestly ask yourself, do you think Tyson got gassed?Or do you think that something was said to hinder in that clinch? Something along the lines of what Logan said uh , Mayweather, " Come on man lighten up a little bit.."
An oral fixation, is a a term used in psychology from being neglected. Tyson talks about his relationship with his mom. Having a biting fixation is a trauma response, but it doesn't have anything to do with self esteem issues Teddy, some people use stress balls Tyson bites his glove.
Teddy didn't use the words self-esteem. He was talking about anxiety. Which is related to trauma, exactly as you say. If it soothed him then, it will sooth him know when his nerves are acting up. And, BTW, no one has been more candid about having low self-esteem (even if Teddy didn't mention it) and feeling fear in the ring than Iron Mike. Cus taught him how to use it to his advantage by channeling it into aggression. But it never went away. And probably doesn't for many fighters.
A glitch... Look at Leo Santa Cruz his lead hand always shakes n gitter,...just a nervous habit.. similar to a reflex glitch when a jab or cross lands clean. You become to alert n do weird stuff..
You're right. Sadly, most of the people commenting on this likely have no idea who Leo Santa Cruz is.
It would be interesting to see what Tyson could still do if he were fighting with actual malice and anger, with the benefit of adrenaline shooting through his system. Like a street fight instead of a boing match.
He bit down on his glove to stop himself knocking jakes head off.. Their money behind closed doors was to precious .. Thats why turki al sheikh offered 700 mil for a genuine fight and genuine Tyson
I’ve never seen it, literally never seen it in his fights.
More people in the know need to be vocal about everyone getting scared.
I would of much rathered Mike last match to be with Evander. It was winnable and with head gear would of made for a good scrap
Okay so they keep saying he bit his gloves because he has done this in the past and it’s a habit he has had throughout his career. OKAY then show the footage……… I haven’t found one video of his old fights of him biting his gloves in the ring. I watched recently 3 full fights of his old fights and absolutely ZERO BITING. The real reason his bit his gloves was to slow his reactions down to not hit him. If you really stop and think you can’t just throw a punch on instinct when you got a glove in your mouth. It was a way to slow himself down and then the whole knee thing. I think that was BS also. It was fully rigged and he got laid 20 million to do it. I’m not knocking Mike one bit for doing it but let’s be real about this stuff.
Everyone in these comments talking how he bit his glove to hold back unleashing fury😂😂 did y'all not see dude waddling around in there like he was about to tip over at any given movement. Mike was done after 2nd round, didn't have a chance. The fact any of you thought a 58yr old man vs young adult was gonna be an actual fight is pathetic honestly.
This is speculation only Tyson will know but looks like, he was not comfortable with the script
I actually have never seen Mike do that before tbh.
He did it in the Kevin McBride fight in 2005.
Would that be illegal. I mean you can damage the glue and the damage can cause a cut to opponents face 😮
I thought cus taught him to do that as a reminder to keep his hands up
He did, Teddy doesn't know everything,
He was refraining from killing Jake never seen Mike biting his gloves
@@montyrayza7220 Mike also didn't credit Cus for teaching him
No, that was just the internet coming up with random reasons.
@@montyrayza7220 Neither do you. The internet said it was to keep his hands up. Thats not the reason at all.
Tyson bit the thumb of gloves when he fought Kevin Mcbride in his very last fight.
Watch Tyson vs Mcbride
Mike never bit his gloves, PERIOD! Go watch all of his fights. Never happened. Up is down and down is up.
No surprise to me. He looked petrified from the ring walk until the end.
Tyson has bitten his gloves, but because he keeps his hand up in the 'peek a boo' stance, its easy to miss by an untrained eye.
Sorry, but I have to disagree. Rocky (an ex-world champ) said that it was rigged.
It liked to me he bit to holdback on his punch with Jake Paul, that’s my take on it
Yeah same thing! A fixation which helps suppress the anxiety durr
Were you responding to someone? No? Ok, excellent post then.
This is the biggest crock of shit. He’s not biting his glove to look like a boogie man, he’s biting his glove because he struggles to control himself. It allows him to instantly release a violent urge without acting on the actual urge (killing someone). It was so prevalent in this fight more than others because of the extreme level of script coherence required. If he didn’t bite that glove, the other glove woulda knocked Jake back into his mamas womb.
Mike Tyson never bites his gloves. Cut it out, Teddy.
Why i never seen Tyson bite his glove in all his boxing matches? He was biting his glove to keep him from knocking Jake Paul's azz lol.
The fight was rigged this was him reminding himself not to knock Jake out. Early in the fight he rang Jake's bell and then Jake grapples with him and reminds him about the payday for lasting 8 rounds. Mike still had it in him just look at his recent training videos. Why didn't we see that Mike that was tearing it up in training?
PLANE !
Anyone know the song that plays at the end of this clip?
Loser by Beck.
Yeah I don’t think so…Mike has never done this in this way before
Mike did NOT have time to bite his gloves back in the days!!
I believe Quarden Token will go 100x after launch on Binance
You can clearly see mike was pulling his punches.
We know Mike didn't do this in other fights. So what, did Jake's people pay off Teddy too so he'd repeat this BS? Seems like it. I'm with those who believe the biting was a signal in a fixed fight
The whole thing was a complete embarressment
Cus told him to bite his glove to cover his chin!!
My theory is that he bit his glove to rest his arm, to recharge that left hook
Strong theory. Is that based on anything other than Reddit and feeling like you know things? How long were you a pro boxer? Pro boxing coach? Never? Oh. Why have an opinion strong enough to post for the whole planet to see for eternity?
@eriklarson9137 1. I'm not a reddit sheep and 2. what's wrong with you this is the youtube comment section
He was doing it against Roy Jones
Maaaaaaaan thats bullshit. Mike has a podcast you NEVER seen him biting his hands n shit. Mike was biting those gloves to help keep his guard up because he old and tired.
Biting down to keep them dentures in 😂😂
Against Jake Paul Mike did more biting than fighting.
I think Mike was chomping at the bit ….but had to follow the script
We just watch a a whole Bunch of Nothing 😢
