"McBride's preparation hypnotic
By George Kimball/ Boxing Notes

A few days before Ireland's Steve Collins fought Chris Eubank for the World Boxing Organization super middleweight title in Millstreet, County Cork, in March 1995, the word leaked out that Collins had been working with a mystical Irish hypnotist named Tony Quinn.
Concerned that Collins might have been programmed to be impervious to pain, or something worse, Eubank threatened to pull out of the fight on the grounds that Collins ``might try to kill me.''
As it turned out, the hypnotist had a far greater effect on Eubank than he did on Collins. The fear of the unknown plainly unsettled the British boxer, and Collins decked him in the eighth round on the way to a unanimous decision. Collins fought and won seven more times (including the rematch with Eubank and back-to-back wins over Nigel Benn) before hanging up his gloves - and never used the hypnotist again.
Ten years later, Collins' brother Paschal, in his role as Kevin McBride's camp coordinator, has apparently reached into the same bag of tricks in preparing the trasplanted Irishman for his June 11 Washington fight against Mike Tyson. Since many of Tyson's opponents have entered the ring so awestruck that they were beaten men before they ever got off the stool, it probably made sense to program McBride with positive reinforcement, and on Friday in Boston the Clones Colossus took the wraps off the ``secret weapon,'' Marina Bay hypnotherapist Patrick Brady, the former director of the Boston Police Hypnosis Unit, who has been helping him prepare for the Tyson fight.
Is this a glimpse into boxing's future, or is it just another publicity stunt? The thinking here is that at the very least it probably won't hurt McBride, and, if it gets Tyson's attention, it might even help him." -Bostonherald.comLast edited by Truth; 06-11-2005, 12:11 PM.Comment

Tyson's first punch, and McBride is feeling very very sleepy.Comment

Can't that type of stuff bug you out? What if McBride starts eating his glove or punching his trainer? I am serious I have heard weird stories about that. This girl that went to my school got hypnotized and she came the next day with her shoes off.
