I humbley bow... - 08/04/05 04:39 PM
I see a lot of threads about winning. So here is one to keep us humble and see what we can learn from our mistakes.
Let's here some stories of how we lost and what we could have done better...
This was my first fight ever, I pretty much just wanted to prove my point, that I wasn't going to take this guy's s#!% anymore. I controlled the whole fight ground and pound, I didn't put him out or anything but thought it was over. I walked away and he charged up behind me, I turned around to a big hammer/rabbit punch and caught his hand, he followed with the other and I caught that too. Then boom...came the headbutt to the bridge of my nose. It was a crushing blow that made my knees buckle and I was covered in blood.
-I guess I learned that if I'm willing to start a fight I have to be willing to end it aswell. and watch out for those damb head butts!
My last fight before starting training was an emotionaly charged one...re: girlfriend and a whole lot of nonsense...but I came out flailing and got the guy down but when we were done rolling around he was on top. (in my gaurd but I didn't know what a gaurd was at that point) he was basicly just holding himself up not stricking but for some reason I was paralized. I got off a couple rib shots but nothing damaging. The fight was broken up so I'd say it was a draw, but after training I can look back and see all the stuff that I could have done from the bottom and I realized that you should always have your head on straight before going into a fight or chances are it won't be when you come out.
