Boxing Mastery

"Boxing is not about this (putting up his fists) boxing’s about this (pointing to his head) boxing is like a chess game...The way you fight…anger’s your biggest tool. Fighting angry, that drains you twice as fast. The other guy…in the ring is your enemy, but if all you’re trying to do is kill him, then you expose yourself. You leave yourself vulnerable. Gotta protect yourself. Make his mistakes…be his destruction."

― Tick Willis (Southpaw; 2015) to Billy Hope about the art of boxing.
