i liked howard davis a lot. he had a problem. he fought in his head. he thought about what he was doing. he didnt think about what the other guy was doing. so he looked great, maybe perfect, and then he got hit.
thats the problem so many guys have. they get stuck in their own heads. its always "i'm going to do this" and "i'm going to do that" like they are looking at themselves box.
I knew Howard Davis jr lost to our Jim Watt but forgot he drew with Meldrick Taylor.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
