Greetings, greetings. Welcome to another episode of Truth to Power. And tonight, we're gonna be talking about learning from your elves. For those who don't know where the elf is, an elf is a rose.
For this case study, I'm going to use the Auntie Wilder versus Tyson Fury. Now I'm going to speak on the Wilder versus Fury fight, and I'm going to apply it to all his life. But also I'm going to give an in-depth discussion on what happened. Me being a boss and fan, for those who do know me, they know that I am a boss and fan.
And the Auntie Wilder here is one of my favorite fighters. I just like the guy I was character. I like what he stands for. And he's still one of my favorite fighters, even though he took a loss.
Now, most people that is currently speaking on this match really don't know anything about boxing. Even some of the sports cast is an analyst, right? You know why? Because most of them say, he's not going to be able to bounce back from his loss that he took.
He got KO, or technically knocked out, but he's not going to be able to bounce back. Some of the gradings, bosses in history have taken losses and have been able to bounce back to championship stats. For example, in bosses like Muhammad Ali, bosses like Linux Lewis, with bosses like Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Robison. The thing is though, nowadays people think that once you take a loss or you take a L, you have money on your record.
It's not going to be able to bounce back and bounce in. And sometimes that's what happens in life. And like sometimes you take losses, you have people around you that doubt that you can ever come back even better than before or even come back as their champion that you were before. Let me tell you that you can.
And I'm also here to tell you that not only can you come back better than before, but you can come back as a different person and even more improved person from their loss. Now one of my favorite bosses of all time is probably me, whether inside the ring, the guy with just the defensive jeans, not only was he a defensive jeans, he was an offensive jeans too. He doesn't get enough credit for that. But the guy was very masterful.
The guy trained, like one thing I can appreciate about it do, do, or go to the club, leave right after the club no matter what time it was, and just start running miles, getting his miles in. Go on to the gym, even though he was not turning on, the guy got the work done and he always sort of to the fight prepared, you know. He was always ready for whatever his opponents do at him. And when you're dealing with an opponent like life, or just people in general, it's hard to know what they're going to throw into.
It's hard to know what type of adjustments that you need to make in order for you to come out with a victor, right? So, but back to the entire battle. Now, the entire battle, he's a boxer. A boxer with skills, even though the narrative is that he's just a puncher or a brawler, I want to tell you guys something right now.
And I want you guys to mention that everybody, they said he was just a puncher, he was just a boxer. You don't make the United States Olympic team and when a bronze medal without having any skills. They're just in a pass, but they'll do it. You just won't be able to do it.
If you take it easy, then take your behind out there or get the hardest punch to let you know. Put him in a ring with no skills and then have done make the Olympic team. Not only make the Olympic team, but when a bronze medal like the Atewara did and go 42 and no with 41 kills, you just don't do that without any skills. Now, the problem with the Atewara was he never improves the opponent skills.
He never said, hey, not only should I have this right hand, I should have this right hook. I should have this right uppercut. His love hook, his love to the body, his love to the body, his love to the head. He never improved upon his skills.
And as the level competition rolls, his level of skill should have rolls right along with it. Now during the match, what Tysen Furry did, he said, hey, during the rematch because they had to match up in November of 2018, I think. Once it was 2018. And what Tysen Furry did, to take away the right hand was he rolled with it and he rolled right out the way.
And then when he rolled out the way, he came back with a punch to keep him all balanced. And no lies, Tysen Furry came into the fight home. And it looked like Wilder was fighting not to lose, but Furry was fighting to win. The only problem I have was, he wasn't playing for keeps.
And this seemed like he was all balanced. Now whether the 40 pound shoot, play, affect or not, doesn't matter because you should be prepared for all of this. As I'm growing older, and as most people growing older in life, I want you guys to understand something. They're true or an adult.
And when they said there are no excuses, they're really aren't any excuses. You must take responsibility for all of your losses, just like you would for all of your wins. Now responsibility just means they have the ability to respond. We all are responsible human beings, but you have to show and reveal their character that comes out of you and show the ability to respond, especially during times where you might get knocked out balanced or times that you may need to do some adjusting.
And there are going to be times like that in life. Because in life, we are going to get knocked down and we're going to take Ls. However, once again, we must take responsibility for those Ls. Those Ls are we must rise to the occasion like a champion would.
People who say that this guy can't bounce back or people that don't know anything about boxing are either about life either. If you had to show some grit and some determination, then you know what I'm talking about. There are times in life where you're trying to improve your situation and you will get knocked flat on your behind. And it's going to hurt, especially when you've never taken a Ls idea and take wilder heads before.
You are going to be down yourself in times. Can you make it back because you got so many people that's close to you? There's down you. You got so many people in your ear that's down you.
And you got so many other factors around you that's down you. That's saying, damn, I don't know if you can make it back from there. Which is good to certainly be because during your hardest times and your hardest tests, that's who you will see that's really for you. You will discover who you are and you will discover who other people are once you take a loss.
I can't read the comments on social media. And I made a little bit of me about the Anteba although, even though he's still one of my favorite fighters, I just had to get my leg across. But the main thing I've noticed is people were saying that once you win, everybody's around you. But once you take a loss, you lose by yourself.
Which is crazy. When you take a loss and people scatter, those are people that you need in your life in the first place. Because they don't realize that you have the ability to respond to their loss. You have the ability to come back and turn their loss into a win.
Life is like one big battle match. It is. You're going to take punches, you got to roll with those punches, you got to just, you got to study your opponents, you got to understand how to gain playing through things, and you're going to go through things throughout life. Now in life, when you take a loss, like I said, there are going to be people that will write you off.
There are going to be people who are going to bear in the ship. Especially with things that are looking bad. But don't fret. You need to learn, go back, study, how you got that position in the first place.
Look at a fighter like Ali Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali gave up three years in his crown because he refused. And big shout out to Muhammad Ali. They had sold, remained busy around his world, and around his earth, around his atmosphere.
But Muhammad Ali gave up three years of his prime because he refused to fight Vietnam. And fight for this racist society. Now when he came back to the ring and he was fully reinstated, his first fight was against, he took a tuna fight, I think then he took a fight against Joel Frazier, won the greatest heavy waste of all time. And Muhammad Ali lost their fight.
But not only did he lose their fight, as he was continued building momentum, building momentum, building momentum, to fight Frazier again, he learned from that first fight. And he beat Joel Frazier the second time. Then he took another loss to Ken Norton. But then he came back the second time to be Ken Norton.
Then after that, people were afraid that he was going to get killed, going against George Forman. Now if you don't realize how powerful George Forman was making, George Forman, for all my boxing historians, they noticed George Forman was one of the hardest punches ever known to man. There are rumors that he used to bust a punch of bags open when he used to hit them. People were afraid that he was going to take Muhammad Ali's life in the ring.
But Muhammad Ali said, well, I'm going to do, I'm going to train, and all I'm going to train, I'm going to train my core, I'm going to get my core good. And I'm going to learn from those else that I took from smoking Joel Frazier and Ken Norton. And then he came up with a strategy that nobody saw coming, not even his own camp, I don't think, knew that this strategy was coming. The rope adult, he made George punch yourself out and didn't play mental games with George Forman.
George Forman hit him and he held him. He said, is that all you got, George? Then George Forman said, he thought to himself, yup, that's all I got. It's like Muhammad Ali just sucked the air out of him.
Mentally, then Muhammad Ali ended up doing a combination and knocking him out and being champion once again and continuing to be a great champion. That was the second time becoming world champion until you lost it again, against Spinks. Lost it against Spinks, had to go back, regroup, learn from Natal, and then he won a championship again. Same thing with Mike Tyson, gave up two years of his problem in jail, two, three years of his problem in jail, I think.
Came out, started training hard again, learning from there, he took a bus to Douglas, started training hard again, kill fighting, kill fighting, regaining the championship builds. Until ultimately he started training, he started wanting to learn, he started wanting to improve, and then he got beat by a holy field in other fighters, steady, shin, big and big by smaller fighters. Not to say that the holy field wasn't a great fighter, it was just that Mike Tyson was just very nationally more talented than him. If he'd be in just completely honest right now, but we gotta be able to learn how to learn from my elves.
And we're going to continue to take elves in life, they're just a phase of life. But the thing is this, it's how you respond, till that he'll make you a champion or a champ. And we all have the ability to respond like champions. Now, I just spoke truth to power, I want you guys to have a great night.
Thank you for joining me.
