I just read Ava Knight's self bio on WBAN. Totally great story and 100% from her heart! And AVA, know that you are NOT alone on the road you are on...many many boxers have traveled that same road. Sure, certain things are different, but you are on the UNDER-DOG ROAD. The opposite would be THE HOMER ROAD or as Mia St. John called, THE PROMOTERS GIRL.
The absolute best way OFF the Under-dog Road is to fight your ass off, always be in shape, and knock out your opponent. And plan on who you want to fight and when. With KOs there can be NO arguement or judging scam or counter complaint. I know, easier said than done. But I believe any and every KO comes from a deep conviction to punch as hard and as often as possible within a really focused plan. And FANS remember KOs, fans want to see KOs and will PAY to see a fighter who really fights hard.
Other things you can do is, make sure every fan knows WHO you are. Your ring image is far more important that you think. You could KO Laila Ali but if no one watching had a clear picture of who you are they wouldn't be able to talk about your win and or return again to see you fight another fight. PRINT THAT IMAGE IN THE FANS MIND!
So you beat Ms. West once and she has NOT beaten you. Big confidence advantage for you, big motivation for her. You have to get MORE motivated. And you have to realize that she has trained for you, she has a plan on how to beat you. Do you have a plan for her plan?
Really great story about your life. It was very compelling and now, you have another FAN- me!
PLUCK IS TWICE AS STRONG AS LUCK! PUT SOME ON HER!
