Being scared/intimidated inside the ring

[OumaFan]

Derrick Gainer/JMM, I don't see how you can explain Gainer's actions in that fight if you argue that he wasn't just petrified.

Hopkins/Hakkar.

Steve Molitor was clearly terrified of Celestino Caballero.

The Noriega guy that fought Rigondeaux had no desire to be in the ring.

Marquez vs Gainer
At first I thought Gainer was just defensive but after the first round It seemed to me he was scared.

Tyson vs Bruno
No wonder Bruno kept clinching and clinching all the time. He almost got disqualified for it.

Jerry Hackney vs The Butcher
What the hell was that?

if bruno had have thrown his punches as fast and as often as he blessed himself going into the ring in the second fight, he would have battered tyson

Eubank was freaked out by Steve Clloins, who convinced him he was fighting hypnotized, could not feel pain and saw Eubank's head as twice the normal target size

Seldon vs Tyson

I think Wenton looked like a scared kid vs Barrera. I think he was looking for the 1st decent punch to land so he had an excuse to go down. Apparently he requested reyes punchers gloves pre fight but his trainer interviened and said " no we dont want punchers gloves against Barrera" Nothing like a little confidence demoraliser from your trainer prefight to seal your fate.
