excellent post,its much easier to keep at it in a bout,its infront of a crowd,theres the matter of not wanting to be seen a quitter,much harder to go hard all the time in training when you're by yourself and nobody will know any different. in my experience anyway
kats got pounded by marquez and guerrero. micky ward lost the last two gatti fights. willard got knocked out by dempsey in round 2. heart will make you a hero maybe, but it might not be enough to win.
