When a boxer is knocked down in a fight, the referee will count over them and the boxer must rise to their feet, unaided, by the count of ten or else deemed to have been knocked out. A long count occurs when a boxer is given more than the allotted time (a notional ten seconds) to rise to his or her feet.
You can’t afford to stay down and be counted out after being knocked down.
Such is life. “You win some and you lose some” Muhammad Ali lost 5 fights out of 61 in all his career. But he didn’t stay down EVEN PSYCHOLOGICALLY. He set his mind in the wins….56/65 of which TKOs were 37/56. …And his attitude after physically losing a fight…. Psychology Victory!!!Read on….
Loss to Fraizer:. “I didn’t give it away, Joe earned it.” Ali said
Frazier’s response…
“The words hurt me more than the punches.”
Loss to Norton: Ali said,“I was concentrating so hard on trying to beat Norton I was not aware of the pain. He was better than I thought.”Norton’s response…:“The first time I fought Ali, I felt it was an honour just to be in the same ring as him”.
Loss to Spinks: Ali said,”Of all the fights I lost in boxing, losing to Spinks hurt the most. That’s because it was my own fault.”Spinks’s response…“I’m the latest, but Ali’s still The Greatest.”
Loss to Holmes: In fact,Ali fought 2 fights simultaneously.[Against Holmes & against Parkinson’s]. He had not exactly passed his Pre-fight medical exam.Ali said,”After the first round, I knew I was in trouble. I was tired, nothing left at all.”Holmes sentiments:“I beat up my hero and I didn’t enjoy it.”
Loss to Berbick: Ali said,”Father Time caught up with me… No excuses this time.”Berbick’s honorably said:”He has been my inspiration since I was a schoolboy. “
And you’ve been wondering why Ali is one of my top HISTORICAL ROLE IDOL. Now you know!!!!
