yeah
i competed in karate in britan and although i was neverous it was not a scratch on boxing.
if you know that there is another guy in the ring who is here to send you home on a stretcher if he can then you start to get worried.

once you get in there it all dissapears, and the only thing your worried about is putting them down.
as cus d'amoto once said "a fighters greatest enemy is himself"

as you walk to that ring/ sit in the changing rooms you ask why your doing this. you get to the ring and you see your opponent, how big and strong they look and it makes you nervous and therefore tired.
it you werent nervous atall youd be on peak performance. what you have to realise is that your opponent is thinking the same thing about you.
