Fatigue
July 1, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles
“As many times as you see a fellow get tired in the course of a fight, note that he gets tired when pressure builds up, after he gets hurt or he’s been in some kind of doubtful situation, not being able to control the situation. That’s when he starts getting tired. That’s why when two good fighters get to fight, they’re head to head so to speak, they won’t give an inch and they’re using all their skills and ability, until maybe about the seventh eighth or ninth round one fighter starts to visibly weaken. It only means he’s reached a point where he can no longer stand the pressure. He’s now become diminished. Because when two people fight it’s very much like two armies. They seek to impose their will on one another.”
- Cus D’Amato (former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson’s mentor and trainer)
