Imagine doing that during sparring.
It doesn't make sense.
And I'm talking, he's hitting the bag.
Boom, look.
And I tell people, people feel like, nah, you're talking rubbish.
You can hear that.
And who would see that coming?
I still don't to this day know how I saw it coming, but if he did that, and again, he went into these fights and it would be relatively basic.
He wouldn't show all of this kind of stuff.
Yeah, he'd just tighten up a little bit.
He just wouldn't express himself in the same way.
Did anybody at that time work with a mental coach?
No, I wouldn't.
From our gym, the only person I know did it from our gym was actually Alex Reid.
But he is a weird character anyway.
Funny guy, lovely guy.
But he used to have like therapists come and do this kind of stuff.
And at the time, I feel like I didn't care for it because he just made it seem lame.
It's just because it was from him.
But I understand more so over my time, the importance of the mental aspect of things as well.
