Do fighters actually practice what to do when they are hurt ?

[Boxfan83]

Of course. I have a method, But being the nature of boxing as competitive as it is I'll reserve from telling you...oh and it works to a charm!

LOL. All jokes aside. I dont think any boxer "practice" what to do if they ever get hurt in the ring, thought about it? Yes, but practice it? Maybe not.[/QUOTE]

SUGAR RAY LENRD:We'll, as a trainer I don't teach my fighters to anticipate it, but I do teach what to do if we are in a "storm"....every warrior must have a constituency plan. cuase they have all types of fighters out there. there are glass jaws & then there are the iron chins so you must prepare for the worst & the best...

That's a great question I wonder myself. I rather get 1, 2, or even 3 points taken away from me by holding with a death grip, lowblowing, and spitting my mouth guard out to avoid losing the fight and getting KO'd.

Practice holding, Larry Rameriez former Olympic Coach of Fontana Boxing club told me what they use to do when hitting the bag was to spin your self till your very dizzy than hit the bag this teaches how to continue fighting when hurt

Used to do the same thing at my gym...except with mitts instead of the bag. That way the holder could move around a bit and test your balance.

From what I recall Tim Lane had Chris go to the corner after pretending to hurt an opponent during training which is the opposite of what the OP is asking.

I've seen Fedor (MMA legend) spin around many times during training, I'm assuming it's to cause dizziness so that he could practice keeping composed as much as possible during that time if he were to ever get hurt.

Fighters should learn to take a knee is they're quite hurt so that they could continue a little longer and perhaps turn things around rather than get TKO'd like Whyte did.

I dont think you can practice it, its either you got it or you dont. All warrior instincts.
