i do see what you are saying now... it is a mental thing as well. if you believe you are a strong fighter you will fight stronger. i guess the best way is to not let your head get hit flush like that.

you would want yourself to be on your side, not your oppnents of course.
u got it. i did mean fight like u have weak chin in a way - as in not getting hit flush. but also having confident mind set. and, you see in boxing, many times where a fitghter has looked strong all the way, until he gets knocked down either from a well placed punch or a very properly timed or thrown punch. then, he will more often than not question himself and be a lot easier to be knocked down in the future as patterns would indicate.
sam peter is a good recent example. how many people thought he had a rock for a "beard"? or how peter himself thought he was unstoppable. and how many people pointed out how big of a neck he has. along comes that one wladimir hook to start the avalanche that was peter's mental confidence and unfearing spirit.
so, he has now been on the canvas a few times after the klitschko fight. easy to see how that started, right?
wlad had the same thing for a while, but seems like he is much more comfortable now and doesnt worry as much.
anyways, its both mental and physical - mind and body cannot be separated of course.Last edited by j; 04-18-2009, 12:12 AM.
