Watch Mike Tyson he was good at hurting people in the ring but I keep in mind that they aren't holding back and I'll lose if I hold back so just go all out
If you hold back.. Maybe competitive boxing isn't for you??
I remember holding back on one guy I was matched against, I knew he wasn't in my class, and I didn't want to embarrass him in front of his family (who had come to the amateur boxing show).
I let several opportunities pass me by... then ran out of gas. The guy I let off, pounded me against the ropes for the last minute of the round, making me look stupid...
The lesson is - get the job done asap! You never know when the tables will turn.
Hurt them anyway
thats what boxing is about to hurt the other person if you dont hurt him he will hurt you kill or be killed
Have an alpha mentality.
Whenever I box I hold back, because I am scared I might hurt the other person, but I get hurt. How do I stop this mind set!
