If you know your offense is struggling, and you feel like mice, there's the story about the two mice in the cream. The first one drowned, but the second one kept struggling until itchurned the creme into butter and crawled out until it could walk again. Really though, when you decide what you will allow to happen (on defense), and whether you will let somebody else determine the pace or the fate of what happens, is what makes the difference between whether it is hard enough to seem impossible not to lose, or whether it is actually impossible to lose. If you're going to fight, fight as you and not to be like somebody else, that way they don't determine your fate.
Defense is what makes the difference between whether it's hard enough to seem impossible to win with 93 points, and ehether it is impossible. If you give up before the end, it really will be impossible.
What you allow to happen will. Your opponent won't pass up an oppurtunity, so usually it's defense faaling asleep instead up waking up and fighting to the end that makes the difference in what will happen. When you let an opponent control your fate, they always will, every time.
Defense waking up can keep even an unlikely thing possible, even if offense has been struggling.
I was just thinking about Chael Sonnen's criticism of the Francis (I'm not going to try to spell Ngannu and I'm not going to google it) vs Tyson Fury decision (And I know this eas a while ago) and...
Hym "Whst his steroid addled mind fails to grasp is that BOXING judges score for defense in a way that UFC judges do not. So, a 10/8 isn't going to win a decision if literally every other punch misses and you get jabbed 40 times a round. Now, the converse is that if UFC judges scored for defense in the same way... Sean Strickland beats Dricus. If BOXING judges scored for damage Francis wins the decision."
Verb. The action of a white man killing a minority with no repercussions by claiming self defense. (Kyle Rittenhouse)
