i just saw one of the best fights in the Contender, a boxing reality show.
It just emphasised the fact that anything can happen in a fight.

Michael (blue team) fought against Ebo (yellow team), both strong fighters with impressive records.
However for the first 3 rounds, Ebo dominated Michael with everything he threw.
Jabs, hooks, combinations 1-2, 1-2. Michael was nowhere near him.
Ebo was moving around, Michael was just being stagnant.
It seemed as if Ebo was going to win the fight without Michael providing the challenge.

but in the 4th round, that all changed.

In just one split second, Michael landed the key punch.
A straight hook to the left side of Ebo's face, causing him to be stunned.
Michael took advantage and proceeded to make up for lost ground.
But Ebo quickly recovered and broke back with his killer combinations.
Again Michael was gonna get knocked out anytime....
but again in one split second...

After Ebo landed a nice shot to Michael's rib,
Michael hit back with A MASSIVE HOOK to the left side of Ebo's face.

and Ebo went crashing to the mat.
Referee counted 9 and wanted to make sure Ebo was ok to continue the fight.
But the moment Ebo walked in a zig zag manner, Referee called for the fight to be put off.
Michael therefore won through a TKO (technical knockout).

But what a fight.
it just proved to me that nothing is impossible.
if you possess the desire to win, you will win.
michael changed the entire fight with just ONE PUNCH.
he changed his destiny from just that punch.

and so now, its really motivated me than ever before.
