Its all in the mind. I've actually looked into this quite extensively. Have you ever had a long day and taken a long shower to shake it off? Or a hard week and decide to get a haircut on that Friday to feel "refreshed"? It's almost like that. fighters do that so that they feel "new"; almost to convince themselves that the loss wasn't really them, or at least wasn't the "real" them. Now they are back and "refreshed" and it makes them look past why they lost, or even consider that they are not invincible. They do it to convince themselves that maybe they ARE indestructible and what happened in the past can be overlooked. I hope I am making sense :P
So first you are charging for this fight, and then you tell me it'll last less than three minutes? I was never gonna buy it anyway, but this is quite the sales pitch..
F*ck sake, it's been like 6 months since Golovkin's last fight. A star like this, fighting every 5 months. Boxing is in a sorry ****ing state.
Except it's been 5 months and that's because his father died..
Janitor at a club Khan was at: "Ey, Khan, you should fight that Asian guy. As long as he don't hit you you got a shot to win"
Khan: "I'd do it in Dubai!"
- Khans version of being approached to fight Pacquiao.
People forget that amateur and pro is totally different. I am sick of promoters taking Olympic standouts and throwing them into big fights or even huge events against lesser opponents. It is robbing them of a long career of learning the ins and outs and the dirty parts of boxing. Look at Hagler, Hopkins, Holmes. Those fighters didn't have a gold medal, but they had to work the hard way to the top and it made them great fighters. Promoters don't wanna wait for fighters to mature, they just go to the amateurs and take a fighter and throw them to the top. That will only take them so far.
