Boxers need to learn to stay down when knocked down....!

add haye-macca 2 that m8

 

You say that like you have tried it. Sometimes when you get knocked down you're just so stunned and so into the atmosphere that you just get back up without notice, happens to some people and others can control it and stay down. Some of them are even too dazed/hurt from the punch that they just jump up now knowing exactly what the hell they're doing. You clearly never was in such position so shut it, don't think you sounding smart here means anything, I'm pretty sure their trainers teach them that but when it happens it's a different story because THEY'RE the ones in that situations, not their trainer nor you.

 

Hmm, now all we have to do is to work out what it is about being brutally punched to the floor that could be leading to these examples of less-than-clear-thinking and we'll have cracked it....:huh

 

Could'nt have said it better.

 

Excellent post.

 

Staying down until 8 was the only thing Lockett did right in his fight.

 

He isn't an idiot. I havent been KO'd but I have had my bell rung very badly in the gym just before the round ended. I didn't fall but I lost some vision and hearing for what was probably only a second or two, but I can tell you that it was very disorienting just to feel like I had lost some sense of everything for a moment.

Now picture being hit harder, repeatedly through a fight, with the lights and huge croud, and the ref, and pressure of getting up... its instinct that these guys are firing in these fights. They don't get the benefit of looking at it from air conditioned homes on t.v.

 

Great post,man. I've been down a few times in boxing, and it's really hard to think straight in that situation. Instinct takes over very easily.

 

when you are stunned you often dont know whats going on and its out of your control to get up or stay down...it all happens on impuls

 

Spot on as usual. Most people don't know how they will react until they find themselves in that sitution and some respond better than others.

 

I'll be over at my regular time. Make sure you wear the school girl outfit with the pink pumps.:hey

 

i agree most times it is just reaction but there are occasions where it is pride getting you up too soon.
