This reminds me of those critiquing some heavyweight champ defending his title. “He should do this or he should do that...”. Easy for them to say because they are not the ones in the ring, bone tired having fought a dozen rounds, all the while getting vicious punches to their body and face.
Like Tyson said, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”. (I grew up watching boxing when they were 15 rounds- many boxers were able to go those 15 rounds because of great conditioning, but would be fairly well spent around round 13 or so, and fighting on instinct, but today, you see mma fighters in 3 round bouts, wnere they mkstly dance arohnd, get a few shots in, few leg kicks etc, and they get exhausted in the second round. Things sure have changed)
I ,iked hearing comentsry from actually fighters during boxing matches as they would point out the things you said so that the .isteners got a little idea of how tough the fights actually were. Also,the heat and humidity especially made the fights much more grueling.
I saw The fight live where boom boom Mancini threw a punch at end of fight thst killed his opponent duk koo kim.. duk koo Kim was fighting back va,iantly, but was out of his league really agaisnt Mancini. It was a brutal fight that really too, a heavy toll on kim toeards the end of the fight. sad ending to,the fight.
