    I've always been inspired by watching films of great fights.

    I remeber watching Sugar Ray Leonard against Wilfredo Benitez...
    That night I trained til I bled and did the same again and again.
    The same with Ali Frazier, Gatti-Ward, Hatton Tszyu....any fight where I see a great fighter(s) in action...I just take a glance and know I'd trade every drop of blood I have to be him, with a professional trainer, getting paiod to sweat and fight.

    I think the fights just unleash a desire in me, andan awareness too. if I don't fully make it I can never say it was from lack of effort. Does that make sense?

    Also last week when I boxed in the quarter final, I sat back and boxed. I did what I had to do and won a nice UD.

    In the semi final I fought a shorter stronger guy...His corner screamed "knock him out Sean" Strange advice in the first round I know!!

    But it triggered something in me and I said to myself in a kind of Rocky Graziano like moment "You goin to take this from him, you gonna let him take your dreams away" I retaliated with force and serious vigour!

    I know it sounds stupid, but thats how it was...

    Lance armstrong has a fav quote of mine...

    "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. That surrender, even the smallest act of giving up, stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I ask myself, which would I rather live with?"

    Anyone read his book? It's pretty inspiring.

    Champion by gringspoon is always in my running playlist, gives me a boost when i need it most.

    The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters.
