    Clear examples of when mind games affected a fighters performance?

    We talk a lot about fighters getting into their opponents heads. Sometimes i think we can look too much into it. How many times have people said a certain fighter looks "shook" and then they go in and win.

    What are good some examples where a fighter was pretty much defeated or angered out of the ring and went in fighting in a different manner to what they usually do? i.e going in and just throwing bombs out of anger..

                Floyd v De La Hoya is a perfect example.

                De La Hoya was so wound up that he went in there trying to take Floyd's head off.

                Anyone knows that if you go to Floyd like that, you are basically playing into his hands eventually. The pure aggression is always going to look good in spots but won't win you a fight with Floyd over 12 rounds.
