Boxing IQ Discussion

[Laligalaliga]

Ring IQ is basically looking for a way in there to win irrespective of what your opponent brings. Flexibility and adjustment, fast thinking, durability.
Do all you can to win.

The second example 'isn't even in the ring', but derives from experience in the ring.

Now that's an interesting element to consider - all the IQ factors that happen outside the ring.

Inside the ring, it's relatively easy to attribute IQ. Or maybe a better description is that its more clear, more direct. If a boxer moves his feet, he gets the IQ points.

But outside the ring, it becomes less clear, less direct with who to attribute choices to. A boxer picks a good fight? Maybe that was all his manager's doing. A boxer has a good training camp? Maybe that was a result of good training, quality sparring partners, etc.

Attribution gets fuzzier outside the ring, while inside it feels pretty direct.
