Fights Where Fighters Were Visibly Scared Of Their Opponent

This German bum Dominic Boessel vs Zurdo last year. Dude looked like he saw a ghost after realizing how heavy Zurdo came in.

You can add that into it too. Canelo wanted nothing to do with him until he saw his performance against Ryder also. Canelo calculates everything to make sure his opponents are at their worst before going there. If they're good to go, he's not interested. It most certainly wasn't of Callum's doing all of that.

- - Canelo beat up the undefeated Muhammad Ali Tourney winner.

What grade was you in then?

That’s called nerves. He wasn’t scared of Liston. If you don’t get at least a little nervous before a fight then you’re done. Spinks was scared of Tyson. To me, “scared” is something that immobilizes you and destroys your game plan. Nervous is something different.

- - Young Clay was gifted with a 2nd opportunity to pass the physical to placate the promoter who was underwater financially because of NOI rumors with Malcolm hanging around Clay.

Not often that a fighter can have a full mental breakdown at the weighin and get a 2nd opportunity.

Callum Smith fought like he was scared vs Canelo, basically was in survival mind after a round or two, a really embarrassing effort

Either that or he didn't believe in his stamina.

Canelo gave him 5 weeks to train and he took the fight for the money. Plus he was huge for the weight and had minimal time to train.

I don't think he was scared, I think he had nothing left after having 5 weeks to make weight and he knew it. So he survived and took the money.

AJ was terrified after he was dropped by Ruiz

He was also terrified the few times Ruiz got close in the rematch. You could literally see the panic on his face and in his movements. Luckily Ruiz barely trained and AJ had a solid game plan for it.

- - Fat Andy already in shape from his previous fight. He the only MAN willing to stand in after Big Baby, Blubber, Deyonce, Whyte, Kownacki begged off career purses.

AJ got caught after he became the first guy to ever floor Fat Andy. Dominated the rematch, so problem solved.

Why comment when you don't know shyte from toothpaste?

AJ was still scared. You can still win a fight and execute a game plan while being scared

Look how petrified AJ was in the rematch when Ruiz got close, especially when the entire game plan was to keep him at range.
