What are some examples of major distractions that happened in a prize fight? The one I most think about is when Bobby Pacquiao was fighting on ESPN. I can't remember the opponent but Bob PAC had slippery shoes on his feet, to the point where it was affecting his footwork. So his corner applied 2 sided tape to the bottom of his shoes, major distraction. I believe he won the fight despite the distraction. Teddy Atlas who has an impediment to talk in long metaphorical sentences said it was due to Bobby's BLOOD LINE that him and Manny Pacquiao share that inner ferociousness. Another good one was in the creed movies, when Michael b Jordan had to take a dump, a major one, despite being summoned for his ring walk. Of course he took a shat and they rewrapped his hands! Speaking of Pacquiao, what about Manny s socks in the Marquez 1 fight? The more he moved the more blisters he got. Essentially he was blessed to be sponsored by Nike who could make him the finest socks in the near future! When I think of simple distractions, like going to work realizing you missed a spot on the morning shave, or you don't have time for that donut and iced coffee or kinda sticks out like a sore thumb. I know most fighters are used to dealing with distractions but what gives in a pro fight where attention and concentration are crucial?
NoChin, I don't know what's going on in the Gatti estate but I do know Amanda his ex wife inherited his net worth of approximately 3 5 million. That right there is a topic for another discussion
Yo, major distraction. The way they put it in legendary nights tv special on HBO; apparently Bowes wife was either going into labour or else on the verge of passing out due to stress... Riddick contemplated leaving the ring with her!!!
Yeah that's the first time I've seen a man get a haircut in the ring lol. Also David's toe ranks up there with the Mosley complaint of having a wiggly tooth which was seen as somewhat odd at the time, not minimizing David's!
