Of all the fights I've had the pleasure of watching, the winners all had one thing in common. Self belief. If you lose that, or never gain it, you have nothing.
I agree mate. You have to have that belief, that part of you that makes you a real warrior, and different to everyone else.
self belief doesnt have to be confidence or arrogance. most of the fighters i know are pretty shy and humble. it's that inner strngth that little bit of ability to say that whatever your doing your doing ok
