    ...a boxer throwing a lot of punches, connecting at will (then tying their opponent up)...whilst very rarely getting hit. Or a boxer (looking for a breather after giving it all in a previous round) who is being pressured and constantly being made to miss...whilst being hit with accurate stinging shots?

    Obviously having no lungs, missing, and getting clocked.

    You say that, but not everyone would agree with that statement...especially when discussing a certain example.

    Since "out of breath" is part of the equation on one side, would that not imply that you are already tired?
    either I am missing something here, or this poll is poorly worded.

    Could have been worded better, but out of breath as in looking for a breather after recent exertions...not fatigued.

    Getting tired is as much mental as it is physical.

    If you're missing, then you're more likely to get tired.

    Missing and getting hit would definitely get u more tired I think, then again it depends on each boxers conditioning...

    Poll is awkwardly written.

    High output in any circumstance will result in tiring a fighter more.

    Being out of breath doesn't "tire" a boxer per se, but rather is "already tired"

    High output deals with a greater rate of energy expense, whereas being tired already puts you at a place where your energy is already depleted. So you need to specify what you mean by tiring.

    If youre talking about taking a break within rounds, hitting for the sake of keeping your opponent pressured will exhaust you, whilst risking getting hit by dodging can leave you dazed if hit

    stress

    Iow, fear of loosing, fear of crowds, fear of pain, fear of rejection, fear of financial future, fear of judges, fear of karma. Its not all about putting in the rounds and doing wind sprints but also being spiritually, emotionally and socially stable
