"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Boxing Fans! We have a great year. Predictions?

"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.

What about Pavlik - Taylor Clooney?

I have to disagree on your 2 predictions.

Hatton will hand Mayweather his toughest fight and first loss. He is an in your face type fighter that will be all over Mayweather from the opening bell. The man who gave Mayweather the biggest problems was Jose Luis Castillo and Hatton fights just like this if not even more robust!

I love Sugar Shane and this is such a tough fight to call but I think I will have to go with youth. Cotto is younger and relentless and just throws bombs.... I will give Cotto the edge as I believe he is the next superstar in boxing.

I'll go with Calzaghe too although this too is a tough one to call. Kessler has youth.

This is definitely going to be a great year for boxing... I can't remember the last time there were so many good fights coming up!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Taylor is boring as anything but I think he'll put out an unexpected fireworks performance vs Pavlik, who is overrated.
I can see Barrera beating Pacman, he seems unfocused on his training from what I've read, and his lifestyle could be his downfall.

Mosley Cotto seems to be the most interesting matchup! I reckon Mosley TKO's Cotto late or a close UD.

Calzaghe vs Kessler, the hype-train. Hmm. Don't know, but I find all the talk of Calzaghe boring. Never really interested in him.

Hatton PBF. COULD be a great fight, could be PBF pot-shotting Hatton, but somehow I don't think that'll happen.

Dont really care about the other fights, except the 3 I named.

Hatton has a chance, IF the ref lets him hold a LOT! (Hatton does not fight like Castillo, he is a lot rougher, a lot more holding, a lot more dirty). If the ref keeps it clean, Mayweather will dance all night and pot shot him, to a comfortable decision. Hattons best chance, is attacking the body all night, cause this is about the only place you can land on Floyd clean. Hatton really needs to be on top of his game, and be relentless if he is to beat Mayweather. If that lethargic, weak looking 147lber turns up who last fought at 147, he is in for one bruising night at the office!

Mosley throws the PERFECT punch, MADE for Cotto! His overhand right will hit Cotto much more than expected, and this time, Cotto will not be the bigger, stronger man in the ring! I beleive Mosley will be slightly bigger, slightly stronger, has some great stanima of his own, will be able to take the Cotto power. I see this as a war, with Mosley either stopping him in the middle rounds, or outpointing him (with Cotto SERIOUSLY hurt during the fight being the difference).

Kessler is a great fighter, a very underrated boxer (as far as technical ability), due to his punching power. He will give Joe trouble, but Joe has the combination and flurry speed, and this alone will get him past Kessler, in a very close fight. Joe will get the better of Kessler in exchanges on the inside.
