One must channel the emotion into intelligent fighting.....

Fighting with rage is just ****** unless you channel that into a positive direction. I don't think Tyson fought with rage either.

It is much better to fight relaxed becauase you can think more, and when you get into bigger fights with better people you are going to need to be able to think.

I thought that part of learning to box was learning to stay relaxed and focused when someone's trying to beat the crap out of you. For me, the mental conditioning has been harder -- and more beneficial -- than the physical conditioning. In fact, when I get into confrontations now with people who would normally make me upset, my pulse doesn't even change. Some great things have been happening in my life because of this, but I digress.

I think if I was sparring and felt myself starting to lose my temper, I'd take a break. If I need to work out a general piss-off, I'll hit the heavy bag. I wouldn't take it out on somebody. That's just me, though. I'm a boxer, not a fighter.

You are more tense if you are fighting angry or with rage which will make you tank...

Look at Vivian Harris against Maussa that did was coming in the fight pissed off and ready to make a statement and look where it got him.

Rage will make you headhunt and will make you lose your focus as your blood and adrenaline will be pumping and you will only have one thing on your mind and that is to strike...Plus you will gas out, although being in a rage seems helpful once you come down you will be out.

i agree... you will definately gas out quick.. too much adrenaline..

if u have the ability to knock your opponent out in a few rounds do it.. if you dont have that KO power.. save your energy

I was just wondering if fighting with rage is good? or bad? Mike Tyson use to do it.. but it seemed like he enhanced his performance and boxing skills rather than decrease it.. fighting with rage clouds your mind and allows for more punches to get in? true?

tyson rarely lost his temper actually, he almost lost it in the first fight with holyfield and we all know what happened in the second fight!


foreman used to fight in a rage which worked beautifully till he fought a boxer who loved his opponent to be angry!
