Are Rematches And Back To Back Title Fights A Good Idea In Boxing When A Fighter Is Coming Off A Loss

Boxing
 

To rematch or not to rematch, that is the question. Are back to back title shots a good idea after a loss, that is also another question. If you have a boxer who has been soundly beaten in the ring by an opponent, arranging a rematch that could result in a similar loss, will be devastating to a fighter's confidence and career. Sometimes a rematch is simply not the best idea. However, you have to judge it based on certain factors, such as the probability of avenging the loss in the ring via a rematch, the current fitness of your fighter against that of the opponent who prevailed in the first outing and the point your fighter is at in their career. 

 

If it was a bad beating, a rematch is not a good idea. Cut your losses and move on. If your fighter is at an early stage in their career, somewhere between fight 1-15, a rematch and a second loss to the same fighter can prove very problematic wreaking havoc on the boxer's confidence, endorsement deals and earning potential, the caliber of fights you can make and general press regarding what will be stated by critics and fans. It's much easier to recover from back to back losses later in a career, as opposed to the early stages of it.

Back to back title shots after a loss is also a bit risky. To receive a title shot and lose happens. However, to get another title shot as the next fight and lose that one as well, it difficult. After losing a title shot, it is best to make a come back with a few warm up fights you know you can win, because if you lose two back to back title shots, it puts a major dent in one's career. Sometimes it is best to work one's way back up to another title shot, via a series of wins that rebuilds the confidence and improves one's skills.

Football Great Zinedine Zidane Going Through Rough Patch As Manager Of Real Madrid (Do Legends Make The Best Coaches)

Zinedine Zidane

Legendary French football player, Zinedine Zidane, is having a rough time as manager (coach) of the accomplished Real Madrid F.C. squad in Spain. The team’s top footballer is Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the world‘s leading goal scorers. Real Madrid has won La Liga in the past, but they are struggling this season. Real Madrid recently lost to rival Atletico Madrid. FC Barcelona have been dominating with the attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis “The Teeth” Suarez (Ok, his nickname is not the teeth, but Suarez is famous for using his LOL). 

I would sometimes wonder why legendary football players have difficulty coaching teams. Then, there's the theory in reference to the topic that a footballer who is a legend due to his exemplary skill, becomes frustrated when athletes don't grasp the game and what is being taught, on the same level and manner as the top footballer turned manager. 

By right, men like Pele and Bobby Charlton, should be among the best managers in the world. However, it has not happened. No one questions their skill, as they are the best, but truthfully, who has replicated the aforementioned athletes' abilities in younger players. That's because other factors come into play. Some athletes have better physical coordination (eye/foot as opposed to hand/eye in other sports) and control than others. Some athletes are naturally faster with better aim than others. This is why practice is essential in a bid to correct any deficiencies, in a bid to make your athletes the best they can be.

Pele, who is often hailed as the best ever, humorously stated in the Mirror newspaper of Manchester United and current coach Louis Van Gaal, "I told him, you know he is a very strong guy and they (Manchester United) should have courage because I am never going to be coach. I don't want to suffer." It's difficult being a manager, because when the team does not win, you will be blamed. 

It's easy to take negative newspaper articles and chants at matches personally, when football fans yell for the firing of their favorite team's manager. However, that's when you have to redouble your efforts to bring out the best in the squad and make any necessary changes. Do not become overwhelmed, discouraged or dispirited. Look at it this way, erase the points deficit by digging your way out of that hole, one match at a time. Take it one match at a time.

Successful boxer, Adrien Broner, has apologized for telling off rapper Jay Z and his artist, Rihanna, in a profanity laced tirade [Boxer Adrien Broner Says F**k Jay Z, Rihanna And Her P***y After The Rapper Pimps Her Out Again (Video)]. The rapper is trying to becoming a boxing manager and promoter and doesn't know what he is doing. Jay Z does not know how to find unknowns and turn them into champs, as he does not know what to look for, so he's going around unethically stealing other people's established star athletes, in conduct being viewed very negatively by managers and promoters, who are angry and offended. That's not how you do business. It is disgraceful and bad form. Jay Z has no honor or sense of decency and fairness.

Managers and promoters are angry over Jay Z using illegal and deceitful tactics in trying to steal and in some cases, stealing their clients they paid money to develop. It's a foul, dishonest and criminal way to do business that is going to culminate into a disaster and scandal. Jay Z has been using his music artists, Rihanna and Rita Ora, pimping them out to athletes (sex) as incentive to sign with Roc Nation Sports, a rip off company he slapped his name on. Some of the athletes have wives or girlfriends, but that hasn't stopped devious, destructive Jay Z's foul conduct in this regard. Broner has a pregnant fiancée. He is using other illegal incentives as well.

Jay Z and Rihanna

Broner told off Jay Z stating he can "suck my d***" and that Rihanna is only good for "p***y" and to stop sending his employees up to him, rather than coming up to him as a man. Jay Z made Broner an insultingly low offer to join Roc Nation Sports, offering a deal he states is worth $40,000,000 over 5-years. Broner is one of the top boxers in America and can earn $20,000,000 per year. Signing Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports deal would cost him $60,000,000 over the next 5-years.  

Broner has apologized for telling Jay Z to "suck my d***" after the former crack cocaine dealer, who has a penchant for employing violent thugs and threatening people, even women, came down on him for the mini-scandal his comments created (Jay Z and his wife, Beyonce, whom he regularly cheats on, quickly released a beach photo implying she is pregnant as PR distraction from the bad publicity Broner's comments brought on them). However, Broner has not retracted his statements. 

 

Jay Z and Rita Ora

 

Jay Z knows nothing about sports management or boxing promoting and is going to end up damaging athletes' careers and bringing terrible government and public scrutiny on them, along with himself, when his behind the scenes criminal conduct is exposed. Athletes need to be very careful of Jay Z, as he is lying to them about what he is really up to and what it is going to cost them. Stay with and or sign with established, knowledgeable managers and promoters, who know what they are doing. Avoid Roc Nation. 

Side Bar: if Broner is going to sign with anyone else, it should be Floyd Mayweather's Mayweather Promotions. Mayweather knows boxing and has helped Broner a lot over the years, taking him under his wing. Mayweather refers to Broner as his unofficial little brother and Broner calls him his big brother. Mayweather helped Broner when he didn't have to. Friends do that for each other. Stick with the people who have been good to you. Don't go with an idiot upstart, who doesn't know what he is doing and is greedily seeking to exploit you.
