Boxing toughness?

Question

how to keep on fighting when the pain kicks in?

Answer 1

just don't think about it. Think about what you need to do and do it.

Answer 2

this is when your heart comes into play the same thing that pushes you to keep running while your training your cardio keeps you throwing punches when your arms feel like they weigh 100 lbs

Answer 3

They say "all fighters have a game plan. . .until they get hit".  

Unless you're Floyd, you're going to get hit.  And probably hit really hard.  Just know that just like traffic is part of driving, getting hit is part of boxing.  He's hurt too.  He's tired, just like you.  Fighting through the pain is what seperates men from boys, and champs from "could-a-beens".  It's what makes it probably the hardest sport, and it's what makes the feel of that championship belt around your waist feel all the more wonderful.  You can reflect (as you're being carried around the ring on your trainers' shoulders) on all the pain and sweat you endured to get to this moment.  

"Give me two more rounds. . .and you can rest all day tomorrow". . . . that's what Buddy McGirt told Arturo Gatti in the corner during the first Micky Ward fight.  It motivated him to gut out a great performance, making the first clash between these two legends the best one. . .even though Ward squeaked out a sliver of a split decision.  

Pain makes this sport hard.  And that's what also makes it great.
