    YOU MIGHT BE A FIGHTER IF...




    "4)You might be a fighter if... you have ever had that armchair boxer who watched you fight either live or on TV and he comes to you at some point after the fight to tell you what you did wrong. Then he tells you how easily you could have beaten the guy if you would have only done whatever it was that this guy thinks you should have done. He starts by saying, “All you had to do was...” like it's so easy. Like, “all you had to do was throw right hands whenever he jabbed” or “all you had to do was keep jabbing,” like the opponent was just going to stand there and let you do all these things to him, like boxing is so easy that some guy could just watch the fight from ringside or on TV and tell you not only what you did wrong but exactly what you should have done."

    those are so called "boxing experts" lots of 'em here, usually creating long, technical, flowery words...should've been a novelist instead.

    Many people who do not box -or have not- are knowledgeable boxing people, DEFINITELY, but there are also definitely aspects of boxing that you couldnt possibly know about intimately unless you have actually fought someone before.
