Question
Hi i have a couple ? i am a boxer and i have always wonder if i could do this can a boxer throw two punches at the same time in a fight? anthor one is what do you think Mike Tyson is going to come back in fight ever?  

Answer
HI Steven

I don't of any rule that forbids throwing two punches at the SAME time, such as a jab to the face AND a punch to the stomach, but obviously you don't see it done much, ( or at all).  I suppose it's possible.

Mike Tyson will probably try again only because he is addicted to the money and recognition. Almost every fighter that said they were retiring comes back, usually for the same reason.

thanks for the questions.  

sincerely
