That’s really easy to say behind a keyboard.
I think I was pretty open to explanation on the subject man. didn't even try to come off as a keyboard warrior or know it all. In all reality I put my opinion out there for it to be countered, hoping someone with actual experience in something competitive could explain what it's like to go against someone of a different caliber and basically freeze up (for lack of a better term)

They wanted to. It's not a matter of will at this point, your brain is screaming at your body to go, but your body just wont go. You go to step in to make something happen and notice a delay between your brain telling your legs to move, and your body actually moving. The more you get punished for doing this, the bigger that delay becomes. You start to notice that you can feel shaking in your knees. You start to realize that even through the adrenaline, your lip really hurts.
There's so much more behind this that people who have never sparred or competed can't really understand. Life isnt a movie, people can't just overcome shit like this. There is no gaining superman strength and lifting a car off of a child. This is real combat, these are real people.
is this from your own personal experience? just curious. assuming so, that's fucking insane. I know it's a combination of things, but would you say exhaustion is the cause in the izzy fight? someone above said it was the jab gameplan that was successful. I saw jared get outclassed and from what you say about getting punished for mistakes it seems like i'm oblivious to the fact that if there was an opening for something jared would have taken it. not being in combat sports, I don't know what it's like to be trapped in a cage with someone I can't figure out... seems like one of the worst nightmares you can have lol.
