    I used to think I could just go ab my life being fake and people would leave me alone. Until I realized people are going to mess with u regardless if you speak your mind or not so you might as well let them know what’s going on in there before they try and take control of you and your thoughts. We have to defend ourselves intelligently or be enslaved and shackled by our fear.

    The mental aspect of the game is real. Especially when you lack the experience in the fight game. Once I first started boxing with more experienced boxers in my first 20-40 bouts it was extremely mental since I lacked the necessary skill sets to win unscathed. Only had natural talent of power punching so other than that it was all mental toughness. Which in reality is the worst possible thing to depend on in a boxing match.

You need to be obsessed to the points where you do not care what people think about you, you have to be reckless to a certain extent. You have to be so ruthless that you are willing to do whatever it takes to win. Embrace the shadow if you want to go all the way.

Some might have wanted to kill him if he won, indeed black people who celebrated in various cities across the US were assaulted and lynched .
      But he out boxed Jefferies completely, stopping him in the 15th round , at a time when fights went on for twice that sometimes, as he said "Hardly a blow had been struck when I knew I was Jeff's master".

    All people contain a degree of the "dark triad", the difference between acting in evil & good is to harness the beast for a productive purpose.

    The whooping I caught by the train tracks in 2010 was most productive in not only teaching me that Dunning Keruger applies to physical fighting training, not only that in a fight is a fight one you might even win can be punishing enough you would rather stand out, not just that you can't read power levels the integration of training into 2nd nature is a really big deal needing to think slows anyone down as if looks could not already be deceiving I additionally learned the difference blood lust can make artificial animosity doesn't go far and when you are taking that whooping it bleeds out quicker for me the desire to stay the course of my mouth check was the only reason I could go further than the warrior spirit. It was ultimately what endeared me to the actual badman who would end up being a great friend. I did learn that the closest thing I had to fighting ability was a granite jaw and I was blessed with an all day motor. When the traditional boxer agrees to take a kick boxing challenge you should know it is because he is THAT GOOD. I think I only managed to have a real victory once in the now I think I can fight phase of my life and it was a pure single style fight. I probably racked up 20 concussions before I could deny it no longer I am SAWFT even when I was anything but soft I was still sawft.
