    How damaging is it mentally to lose to the same fighter twice?

    If a fighter loses the first fight via decision or KO, trains hard for the rematch only to lose again.....

    Every fighter is different. Issac Dogboe lost way worse the second fight, and apparently he's out with a new trainer now and hasn't fought since then. Other times it doesn't affect the fighter at all (everyone and their mother saw Oscar beating Mosley in the rematch)

        This'll piss off ggg fans.

        Ggg LITERALLY is now behaving like a #metoo victim after Canelo walked him down & broke his face apart. He no longer calls himself gennady its now gennadiy,he now says"no mo Mexican style no mo"(aka he abandoned LITERALLY the only style he ever considered worthy of not being considered a coward,he adopted LITERALLY the style he claimed made Canelo a coward)

        Now ggg doesn't do interviews,went on a yr long sabbatical & then dragged up a old ass complete amatuer to a catchweight (another thing ggg said was disgrace to Boxing) he abandoned all his mexican fans & he ran outta the 2nd Canelo fight crying because he knew Kellerman would clown him about "running" from a mexican style war he called for.

        Now you even have ex mexican fan reporters clowning & disowning him about what a btch hes becoming. He dumped his "like a father" trainer who made him & made his loyal mexican fanbase he disowned.

          A true warrior isn't discouraged by defeat.

          Jake LaMotta fought Sugar Ray Robinson six times.

            It goes one of two ways. Either you accept somebody is simply better and learn from the fight or you let it manifest and then it can affect you long term as you just can’t accept somebody is better than you.

            See George Groves and see David Price... depends on the individual IMO.

              Oscar has to be the only cash cow who had the judges go against him a lot. I get the feeling that if Canelo would’ve had those close fights against Trinidad or Mosley the decision would’ve went his way. I guess Oscar learnt from experience...

                Its because oscar was a pretty boy idiot who would get scared of taking punishment late in fights & who was very skilled at knowing what the actual scores are supposed to be then coasting when he felt he was comfortably ahead.(Tito beat him because of this alone) oscar ******ly assumed judges were completely on the same page.

                    Didn't seem to phase Marquez at all. True champions like Marquez and Golovkin want to rematch what they consider unjust decisions.
