Does anyone shake and feel like vomiting ahead of big fights? I remember being on the verge of tears moments before the opening bell of Pacquiao-Rios. I was sure that Pacquiao was gonna get KO'd into a coma by the first flush shot that Rios landed. Probably the most gut-wrenching moment of my career as a boxing enthusiast. It's crazy! I'm more nervous than the fighters! Recent fights where I was literally shaking: Every Pacquiao fight since KTFO6 Lomachenko-Rigondeaux Golovkin-Jacobs Rungvisai-Estrada Gassiev-Dorticos Any tips on how to get over being a little ho so as to actually ENJOY the spectacle of boxing?
I actually did puke when I saw journeyman plodder featherfist Glen Johnson lay Roy out cold on his back with the most innocuous looking right hand you'll ever see thrown in a ring. That shot wouldn't have wobbled a toddler but Roy went down like he'd been shot in the face at point blank range with an elephant gun.
