    Sean's 2023 is a clear example of 'When hard work pays off" He was ready for short notice Imavov & Izzy bc he stays working hard so he didn't need a full camp to be ready i.e he stays ready. Well done, inspiring people to get off their ssssssss.

    Sean wasn't lying when he said, years ago, that he gets substantially better, with every loss. Gets knocked out by a guy who knocked out your next opponent? Man up. Do what needs to be done. Forget your ego and ask that guy what's lacking in my game and how can I improve. How was my opponent better than I, and what can I do to remedy that. That's why I didn't like this last public stunt. I like that Strickland is crazy and has used what he's learned in life and overcame the poor foundations from early life. And I don't think it was genuine.
