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...
