True. If you get hit with the right punch, your brain short circuit , and nothing you can do, However being in pest possible shape helps minimize the chances of that happening . Conditioned fighters are more elusive and have a heightened sense of awareness, Fatigue is a leading cause of fighters staying down and not getting back up. You can be the toughest S.O.B. in the world but if your fatigued you will cower .
