What does this mean? What is the exact definition? in boxing terms.
I guess its quite self explanatory really but evidently not.
Every interview I hear about Khan vs Brook I hear this overused term used and frankly I don't feel he went out on his shield at all.
He was **** scared from the off, he didn't attempt to win that fight and was in full survival mode for at least the last 2 or 3 rounds and barely threw a single punch. That isn't going out on your shield!
He shelled up and ran away and clinched at every opportunity, that is the complete opposite to what going out on your shield means.
It was almost a Malik Scott vs Ortiz type performance and you want to claim he went out on his shield? Sorry, no.
It usually means a fighter will not settle on 3 people telling him if he's won or lost.
To let it all hang out and risk that ass for a win.
Sometimes it's an act of desperation. A guy will know he's out of his league and has no other choice but to slug it out.
