Ever see a fighter get interviewed after losing a 10-12 round battle. Then they calmly discuss their gameplan and how they thought they had a few good rounds or something like. Frankly I'm surprised more of the fighters don't break down crying because of some ****er has just gotten finished slamming their head with punches for the last half hour. Is this just me, or have others wondered this also?
box long enough and it's like going to work..just more adrenaline involved might not look that way from someone looking in though.
Yeah to me the psychology is just as fascinating as the action of fighters. Like Kermit Cintron for example . He was really surprising the **** out of me the first couple of rounds against PW but any real boxing fan knows eventually he was going to mentally break down like usual . And sure as **** lo and behold the dude mentally broke down when PW stepped on the gas and jumped though the ropes and acted like he couldn't move from the waste down . Just makes one wonder.
^LOL! Ricky Hatton broke down in tears in his post fight interview with the UK commentators during the Mayweather fight. And win, lose or draw Cory Spinks always boo hoos!
what have they got to cry about. most will be paid handsomely after a loss and there boxers so they know insactly what there in there for. ive been in the ring and got beat senseless and i felt great afterwards. if you have the boxing bug its a wierd thing u actually like getting hit. gives u a massive adrenaline rush!
I was at that fight. You might ask why a ******* was at this fight? No Pacman present at this fight. You tell me. BTW, Cintron is a *****. Wasted my price of admission and parking fees.
I think one of the most impressive things is when two guys who just beat the hell out of each other are pals immediately after the final bell.
alot of boxers view boxing as a sport no different than any other athelete views their sport. That's how I see it as well. (though I'm not a boxer) Boxing is a sport first and foremost, not a fight.
I think that is respect they have for the opponent and they know they might have lost. Virgil Hill and other guys were very logical after some losses. I would rather see a fighter be honest and down to earth than say he was robbed or disrespect a guy. If a guy says he won only a few rounds he is admitting he lost the fight.
Very true! The same can be said to a lesser extent about Hatton/Tszyu. The way they acted after their fight was admirable, mostly on Kostya's part. However, i feel that he was just taking his opportunity to pass the LWW torch on in a gracious manner.
So do I. That is why I like Hearns so much. No matter what happened in the ring, he always hugged his opponent after and gave them respect. That respect for another man's skills in boxing is a great thing to see.
