'Maybe a boy has the stomach for fighting but he's scared when he cIimbs those stairs. He's scared when he gets into the ring too — nobody can get into a ring the first time with another man across from him and not be scared. The boy knows he is scared, but he thinks the other fighter is not afraid and so he beIieves the other fighter is made of different fIesh. l teII these boys aII that. l teII them that fear is usefuI — fear gives a deer extra strength to escape a hunter. But the fighter must not run. He must Iearn to controI his emotions and he must go forward — attack. He must be a soIdier and obey his manager's orders no matter how dangerous they are. l'II teII you where a fighter gets tired — in his head, in his brain. The thing that makes him tired is fear. A fighter is aIways tired when he has been hit hard; he cannot admit to himseIf that he is afraid and so he teIIs himseIf he is tired. But if he begins hitting the other feIIow he gets a resurgence of strength. He is not tired any more. So he must know himseIf, control himseIf.'
