In no other sport,except maybe baseball,can dumb lucky happen like it can in boxing.
You can easily be cruising,this is easy,and Im going to win,and then that stupid punch comes out of nowhere,the world goes white for a second,and then your desperately trying to figure out what in the hell happened there.
And unlike baseball,you dont have a second to think about your next pitch, youve got to drag yourself up,and try to survive until you get the cobwebs the heck out of your head.
Why guys dodge or hold so much after a knockdown, even if you get up from a flash, getting your battle grid back on line just takes the time it takes. Its like slowly waking up from a dream.
