SOOOOO MUUUUCH TALKING.....I mean I get it, the fighters have mics shoved in their faces and the media want soundbites, the fans want drama, but holy shit it drives me nuts as a fan sometimes because we'll hear all this talking and then post fight "Oh I didn't win because I have a broken pinky toe"
or some other bullshit excuse for why the fight wasn't a slugfest or KO as they predicted.
The mind games that are played are pointless IMO...you want to get in a fighter's head? Well if you don't do it right you
COULD get them completely focused, you
COULD reveal your own gameplan and they'll just be ready for that and use it against you, you
COULD inspire your foe to victory with bulletin board material.
My point is that talking so much shit it reaches a point of diminishing returns...it is not exciting as a fan when 100% of everyone is all "I'm going to kill that guy!", yes yes we know, everyone else says that shit too the winners AND the losers.
