fighters scared before a fight

fighting isnt scary if you have a good chance of winning, only when you are matched up with a guy that is a beast and will really hurt you then its scary, like tyson.

 

nice comment and from a great. If the great Alexis Arguello says he is gets scared then most fighters should not have shame in saying it either.

 

exact same feeling i had when i was learning to box and did sparring. if you let the fear take over then your not completely focused and that could be dangerous. so as soon as that bell ring, i knew if i didnt focus on the task at hand it would be very unpleasant. now i'm a musician and i often get the same feeling going on stage before a big gig. so many similarities between boxing and music that most people don't realize.

 

The fear is a good thing. For it shows that you have the adrenaline pumping its all about how you handle it.
