"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I meant to make a thread about this before the fight but forgot.. So here it is.

What do you guys think about the fight?

I honestly was extremely disappointed. I knew Gervonta would win but I did not expect it to end the way it did.. Both of these guys are titans but to see Ryan go out like this was not what i had in mind.. Regardless, I can't hold it against him because the liver shot is notorious for taking people out. Most people don't realize that when you get hit in the liver, its not just the pain that gets you.. What gets you is that your body goes in complete shock because it affects the vagus nerve and sends signals to drop your blood pressure really low to protect some of your organs from damage, and thus also makes it hard to breath/get oxygen to the brain.

How do you think the fight woulda went had Ryan not got caught with the liver shot? Did he have any chance to make it to a decision or make it close?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I didn't watch. They were beefing back in February 2020 right before my boxing gym shut doors temporarily. Light and Welter are still the roughest divisions post-coof. Tank will go on plowing and racking up more misdemeanors...maybe even make some bogus, seemingly obligatory callout of Manny Pacquiao to garner clout. But the sleeper at LW is probably Devin Haney now. He has the best jab in all of boxing. I couldn't snap my jabs that forcefully, but I was able to with a left cross. Ryan Garcia needs to ditch that Golden Boy BS and head on over to Canelo Alvarez for assistance, because that Gym Shark posterboy gig isn't doing him any favors.

Garcia’s footwork needs a ton of work, Davis was dancing inside the whole night. Once you take away Garcia’s one trick pony hook, the inside is open and Davis was waiting for him to throw it and counter. Davis is legit, extremely patient while dodging Garcia’s jab advantage

Oh Devin Haney is no sleeper at all. He's my pick to beat Gervonta.. I don't think anyone else can.. Gervonta Davis is incredible at boxing.. But its no surprise, he's trained under Floyd Mayweather very closely.. Talking about being trained by the best boxer there ever was...

and Ryan Garcia with GoldenBoy isnt a bad thing imo. I dont like OScar but Canelo made it clear he doesn't like Ryan..

Idk man I think Garcia is nowhere near Tank's level and its sad because for years they've been talking about Garcia and I never understood the hype. He's a decent boxer with a pretty face.. thats all. Nothing special. Devin haney is my dude to beat Gervonta Davis tho.. if anyone can its him

And Julio Cesar Chavez already gave his nod of approval to Canelo. That speaks volumes, especially to Mexicans like me, not necessarily the ones on here south of the border (who circle jerk to video games and can't comprehend open borders). Pretty boy Garcia can't keep up with the pace Davis pushes. Not many can, he tore through one of the local pros near my gym in the U.K. I don't even want to get into the Teofimo Lopez fiasco, but I can see Devin Haney continuing to do lots of damage, he's solid.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Despite Canelo's loss to Bivol, he's still one of the best boxers in the world imo. Teofimo Lopez is def not b ad but not top notch either. He'll have his ttime like Danny Garcia did but I think Garcia is even better than him.. Garcia has also fought better opponents than Lopez

Garcia is not bad by any means. He's no Jorge Linares (yet). Linares's fight with Devin Haney proved that while he's a little past his prime, he still has a lot to offer the LW division and world. I don't know what it is, but I can't bring myself to watch boxing on tv or online after deciding to leave the ring permanently. I've only recently started hitting the bag frequently at 35 to help get back to the shape I was in. And I'm viewing all of this from back in the U.S. now. Unlike in the U.K, it still never really took off here. I'm serious when I say over there, you'd be having these same conversations in person with good looking women in public, who are well aware of the boxing scene.
