Just as there are various ways for a fighter to win a fight, so too are there various ways to lose. Some fighters sense their inferiority in the ring early and will then do all they can to survive, or give only the impression of trying to win, aware that there is an inherent danger in actually trying to do so. Other fighters, meanwhile, either sense this inferiority but ignore it, or simply power on in spite of it, and as a result end up giving more of themselves than anybody would expect them to give.
