Why taking a knee is so unpopular?....

[p4pking]

Nothing wrong with taking a knee i've seen few Amateurs live do it i've seen one of the guys that goes to my gym do it and he comeback to win the fight i personally think its very smart move and to be honest more fighters should do when there dazed or seriously hurt but i suppose its hard to think like that when you've got a rain of punches coming your way or some boxers just have such a big ego that they won't do either way i think more fighters should do it if i remember rightly didn't Serguei Lyakhovich go down on one knee against Lamon Brewster ?

I agree ICB I also think its good to take the knee to get your bearings. But in the heat of the moment I think a lot of fighters look for that opportunity to counter while their opponent is attacking or they don't want to show how hurt they really are...

Yea and also with that; by taking a knee when your opponent is getting wild trying to finish you, you are giving him the same chance to breathe and think things out as you get. It becomes a big judgement call whether you will be able to recuperate enough in those 10 seconds and defend yourself more intelligently , when your opponent can measure a better attack in that same time you are trying to recover.

It's unpopular since majority of the boxers taking a knee in a fight ended up losing that fight...

Not many were smart enough to fully take advantage of a "knee" breather... The one that remains standing almost always has the upperhand...

Many just consider taking a knee a losing effort...

Its a funny one, I never did it, thats why Ive been chinned a few times. Whether its because there vision goes and need time probably to clear. Ive been on my arse a few times, thinking if I get up this cunt will Kill me. But I still got up . Some time winning , sometimes finnishing back on my arse
