His from-downtown uppercut, the iconic one, looks better than it lands most of the time, but the same can't be said of his right cross, and whether you want to call the short crossing finish-him-off punch that follows a jab or a short cross, well, that one was incredible too. His lateral movement was straight poetry, and his combos were hardly even combos - more like one move containing several punches, all of them haymakers. Nothing but respect for Tyson in his prime - he didn't have much going defensively, but he didn't need to.

GRIZZLY VS SILVERBACK MOVIE
The extra yelled that Lee was "a movie star, not a martial artist", that he "wasn't much of a fighter" and said it was "easy to see his martial art wasn't any good." Lee answered his taunts by asking him to jump down from the wall he was sitting on. Their long arms give them the reach advantage on a grizzly, but that’s about it. Lee typically defused such challenges without fighting, but felt forced to respond to several persistent individuals.īob Wall, USPK karate champion and co-star in Enter the Dragon, recalled a particularly serious encounter that transpired after a film extra kept taunting Lee.
