Tony is a very creative and crafty fighter, of course he doesn't have all the 1960 training methods like the rest of them. Tony is very much like Deontay Wilder in the sense they don't go with the grain and they have totally different methods and are very creative and it works and its also the future. Hence why they dominate their sports.
Tony doesn't want to be robotic and stiff like most of the other fighters, and fight with all that MMA gameplan nonsense. Tony is creative and off the cuff and that is a major part of his success. Sometimes he is trolling but many times that is how he really trains and it works for him.
