Thread: oops

So youre in a fight 2nd round youre on your arse bastard good shot I owe you one. 1 minute later youre there again. Now whats going through the mind

yuove got it in sterio

I've never been dropped but I have found myself in situations where I've walked into something more than once in a short space of time - the general thought then is "what did I just get hit with?" because if I've walked into it twice I don't know.

For some reason in that situation I'm not mentally able to see it before it happens - perhaps nervous or too set in my game plan to adjust or see the need to?

The other thought is "what do I do now?" because I might be unsure of what to do - I don't know if that's a good thought because it usually slows me down - the whole paralysis by analysis thing.

Thats when you get on your bycicle and try to buy yourself time,or all else fails clinch
Clinching wont make you any fans,but it buys you time,and if you make it instinct,you can do alot of damage in a clinch

I've never really been taught how to clinch. I guess as time goes on I should learn because it's not uncommon for me to have to give away weight to get an opponent and I'll often have a power disadvantage. Choosing the wrong time to be thinking "WTF do I do now" could hurt!

Since you posted this thread Scrap what would you think? What should we be thinking?

LOL CC
"If I survive this,Im getting a new manager"

Lords you got it cc. I remember Terry Downes getting stopped by Dick Tiger in 4 and after being asked by the press who hed like to fight next. Terry replied The fucking matchmaker. But youd be thinking I dont think this is my nite if i get up the cunt will kill me, but you still get up. I remember it happening to me early in my career the third time he knocked me outa the ring my head hit the bell and i thought id made it to the end of the round got up and the ref said i think thats enougth son i didnt argue.

Iv never bin down but i sparred this mean french heavyweight about a year ago. I was giving away about 5 stone, but he was giving away speed, combinations and footwork. I was outworking him so bad he started to really load up and he caught me right on the temple opening a cut that resulted in a horrible little scar. Now im not lying when i say i dont remember the 2 remaining rounds, but apparently i went toe to toe and got the best of it. Scary thing is tho, i really cant remember, i saw a big white flash and then i was in a cold shower

I was sparring as a relative novice(about 8 months), when my opponent broke trough with one hell of a body shot.
My legs went and i doubled over for about 4 seconds. I thought; well, this hobby is gonna hurt.
I recovered and never made the same mistakes again
