Peek-a-Boo (ピーカーブー, Pīkābū) is a special fighting technique. It is an unorthodox boxing stance used by Iron Michael.
Description
The Peek-a-Boo technique was developed by Sam D'Amato. Utilizing aggressive defense through head movement, the intonations to not get hit while simultaneously pressuring the opponent without even throwing punches. When punches are thrown, the user should move after any combo using slips to further add pressure and exploit blindspots. Fists should always be close to the user's head and their chin tucked in while hunched to further add to the effectiveness of the defense. In addition, weaving, bobbing and circling, makes the user's defense nearly perfect.
In the third manga series, Iron Michael used this technique to fight the Mouth, however unfortunately, he lost.
Dave used a very similar stance during his fight against Mohammad Alai Jr, but he did it with the guard a bit lower. Also, he didn't used so much weaving and circling of his body.
Trivia
- Peek-a-Boo is a real-life boxing technique popularized by Mike Tyson. The Peek-a-Boo's creator, Cus D'Amato, primarily developed the style with intentions to draw crowds. He didn't refer to the style as Peek-a-Boo and instead called it a "tight defense."
