HEATED!! Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia • FULL FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE | ShowTime Boxing

@Mikey G Boxing is a different sport altogether, it’s not basketball or football, or tennis, or even mma. In those sports reflexes and physical ability are paramount, in mma you can offset a lot of the brutality and raw power with excellent wrestling background. In boxing, prime is also the psychological aspect, a lot of boxing technique relies on frame of reference gained from experience, so reflexes aren’t carrying the complete load of defensive and offensive technique, it’s experience. You learn angles of attack, you’re able to recognize patterns and close off angles of attack, or preempt your own attack to offset the opponents attack, because as you gain experience you’re able to remain calmer, and this allows you have better kinetic control. In other sports, it doesn’t matter if you know what they’re doing to beat you, because you can’t punch them in the face or body to weaken them. Prime is also determined by weight class and how boxing has changed. For example, flyweights have a faster and shorter prime on average, because they throw and take more punches. The heavier the weight class, the longer prime condition may be maintained, and can be achieved at an older age. Roberto Duran achieved his most important victories past his prime, against opponents who were considered prime. Also, boxers used to have a relatively early prime and very short prime, because they fought year round, year after year. For example, Canelo is already heading past his prime, because he’s been in pro fights for 16 years, that’s shtload of wear and tear.
