    You might be a fighter...volume 3 (brand new)...

    http://www.maxboxing.com/news/Scully102608.asp

    "4)You might be a fighter if... you have ever had that armchair boxer who watched you fight either live or on TV and he comes to you at some point after the fight to tell you what you did wrong. Then he tells you how easily you could have beaten the guy if you would have only done whatever it was that this guy thinks you should have done. He starts by saying, “All you had to do was...” like it's so easy. Like, “all you had to do was throw right hands whenever he jabbed” or “all you had to do was keep jabbing,” like the opponent was just going to stand there and let you do all these things to him, like boxing is so easy that some guy could just watch the fight from ringside or on TV and tell you not only what you did wrong but exactly what you should have done."

    I'm definitely guilty of number 4 and definitely number 10. Good article.

    Sorry about Oliver.

      LOL well as far as # 4 goes...KNOCK IT OFF.... We know what we could have done... but we also know that how it looks to the viewer is nowhere near how it looks to the guy in the ring...two views from opposite ends of the planet. And if you walk around shadowboxing it's OK with me, just dont be surprised when people pull their kids closer to them as you walk by

        I know, I just can't help myself sometimes, I try to cut it out for the most part though because I know it's very different in the ring than watching what's going on from the outside.

        I've had a few weird stares while doing some shadowboxing outdoors, I sometimes don't even realize I'm doing it until I'm in mid punch.

                #10 is probably the one most fighters can relate to out of that list. Good read.
