NEVER FORGET YOUR MOUTHPIECE


Experienced fighters and trainers see it all the time; a "tough guy" stumbles into the local Boxing gym, surveys the fighters from the shadows and comes to his own conclusion as to what "he" would do if ever granted the opportunity to step into the ring with anybody.  (This of course is as if the opportunity to compete never reared its "revealing" head at any point in their lives).  When asked if they want to go a round or two with one of the fighters in the gym .... aahh, a backdoor exit, no mouthpiece.

Anybody in the fight game knows how "live" action in the ring is the true UNVEILER to a fighter's heart - not bag work, mitt work or lip-service whilst standing in the "shadows." 

Boxing trainers worldwide have grown to observe a variety of "cues" from Boxers that reflect the LION (or kitten) within their boxers.  "Forgetting" to bring one's mouthpiece to the gym always seems to be the tell-all.  "Is this a lack of heart?"--"Is he or she too scared to  spar?"--"Can this person really fight?"

*In order to answer (or avoid) these questions, ALWAYS bring your mouthpiece to a Boxing gym.*
