okay I'm actually going to be middle of the road on this maybe I learned it from you ;-) but 50% now I have to agree with you that all the trash talkin and all the psyching out probably goes mostly out the window at the opening bell and the butterflies in the stomach and you throw a couple of punches and you use a little footwork and you get hit with a shot or two and it's just probably right back to business and boxing Basics and there are hardly anything probably left over in your mind about the side jobs and the trash talks

but on the other hand Tito you have to remember that in the ring they can also say stuff to each other like Ali used to do whisper stuff in people's ears and say stuff while you're hitting him but after he hits you you say is that all you got etc etc the trash talk and doesn't stop at the opening bell and neither does the psych job. Do you remember the faces that Tyson Fury was making all night long in the ring against Klitschko. You could see it visibly get under Klitschko skin round by round so yes it's still occurs during the fight as well

Also quit posting in the boxing thread Tito and stick to your specialty which is beef and beef and more beef you know the tainted kind 😎😋
