And i dont think jennings will be thinking that because brook hasnt fought anyone descent doesnt mean hes no good.same as brook will not be thinking because mike was stopped with a pound for pounder doesnt mean he isnt coming to fight.
jennings has got alot of heart i think we can all see that,so i dont think gunshy or negative boxing will come in to play.
fair enough mate, and to be fair, from memory Jennings's legs weren't wobbled that badly, you gotta say though he did get buzzed 3 or 4 times
btw i love the overtraining explanation. i have a mate who refuses to believe overtraining is even possible. i disagree with him and know full well it is possible.
its funny to me though as it's like those answers you're supposed to give in interviews when they ask you what your weakness is and you say something like 'oh well i am a perfectionist and i can get impatient when others aren't performing to my standard' or 'i find it difficult to switch off from work'
overtraining is like the reason you lost it's okay to give, far better than undertraining 'well the thing was, he was just TOO EAGER before that fight, overtrained, left it in the gym' that way it becomes not the fighter's lack of professionalism or laziness but a basically positive trait that just went the wrong way this time
