"They Wanted A Bad Guy, So I Became One" - Ryan Garcia - #1097

I'm fascinated by you saying that you don't think when you're in the ring. What's happening? I'm just picking up on cues, really. Um and then kind of like there's these instincts and intuition that are just kind of there, you know, like, oh, maybe like you kind of get a feeling where, okay, I need to start putting pressure on this man or I need to, you know, uh, move a little bit. It's just like kind of momentum shifts that you're kind of noticing little by little.

And then, um There's obviously times where I'm thinking, like sometimes I'll just have like mantras in my head like that I've done in camp, you know, uh stay focused. Like my last fight the whole time when I was fighting him, I would just say, like, stay focused, stay focused, stay focused. You know, so it was just like little things that I would say in my mind, but I'm not really necessarily thinking. Not thinking.

But thinking. But yeah, of course. Does that mean when you look back on a fight, how much of it can you remember? The pivotable moments, like um like my last fight, uh, I remember I started getting comfortable in like the eleventh round, just messing with the guy, smacking him, looking at the trainer and then lowering my hand a little bit and then, you know, tasting her right hand and I was like, don't do that.
