Fight to the Bell

This past weekend Matt Remillard’s opponent decided he’d be the ref and call himself to the corner mid round. He had thought there was a warranted penalty and that he deserved a break with time left in the fourth round.

What he didn’t think about was that there is no rule in boxing that requires your opponent to stop if you decide to take a break in the corner. Remillard like any other champion kept fighting and went on to knock the kid out with a perfectly legal punch to the jaw.

During your next workout, make your body sustain a challenge.

When you give up and stop because you feel a burn and things get difficult, you’re setting yourself up to lose.

Embrace challenges and make yourself work beyond the bell, song, interval or whatever it is that you train to.

Please understand that if you feel dizzy, light headed, feel a pop or sharp pain you should stop immediately.
