I agree with you Mikeeod. Its nice to be eager and up for a fight, but with so much of fighting being a mental game. Changing routines and other things that keep a fighter confident and comfortable lead to other changes and substitutes and stuff like overtraining.

I remember hating that about matthysse doing that for the garcia fight. Dragging out life the promotional tour instead of resting like hes used to. Training here the entire time instead of at home in Argentina around his family. You stick to the poisons you know. Altering things at the last second throws a fighter off much of the time.
