This content is protected Which fighter today is calmess when they set foot in the ring? How do modern heavies copare mentally with Lewis who was ice cool before each bout?
The last time I saw a boxer totally freeze with nerves at the start of a fight was Isaac Chamberlain against Lawrence Okolie. I was there and was expecting Isaac to win comfortably and he completely, literally froze in the first round. Sure, Okolipus' shithouse tactics didn't help but you could see Isaac taking ridiculously deep breaths with his chest puffed out to try and calm himself down and he never got settled until about the sixth round. I'd say Chris Eubank Jr is the most ice cool I've seen anyone in the ring at the start of a fight. There's absolutely no emotion. No fake smile to portray confidence, no aggression in his face, just pure ice cold focus.
Do you think that`s because he`s delusional about his ability to win? His dad was very calm before fights too.
