More effective - Gameplan or Adjustments?

[Queen_Leia]

Just wondering, I was talking to a buddy of mine and the topic of gameplans vs adjustments came about ... I wanted to get an outside opinion on what you guys thought was most effective and if there a chance that a fighter/team can do both?

You see many fighters who don't watch film, who don't study their opponent, and who just let the fight come to them. Then you see fighters who study, break down their opponents, look for weaknesses, and try to exploit their opponent using a gameplan.

Thoughts???

Adjustments in my opinion. Look at Calzaghe,he hardly ever watched any tapes (or so he says) and he often lost the first several rds in his toughest fights but he made adjustments that were subtle yet effective to win the fights. I think that this ability was his strongest talent, as it can't be taught. Floyd says that he never has a game plan too but he seldom has to adjust because a lot of his opposition plays right into his hands by following him around and trying to outbox him.

Everyone has a game plan but often when that plan does not work, they are toast.

why not both a great trainer should have a plan a b and c for his fighter and should know as much about his oppnent as possible. its is up to him to teach his fighter in the gym how to adjust to different things his opponent might show him in the ring so that goes into gameplan

A good gameplan has both.
