In a recent interview with uSports, former World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight champion Austin Trout discussed how he typically prepares for a big fight like his 12-round matchup against International Boxing Federation (IBF) Junior Middleweight champion Jermall Charlo at The Chelsea in Las Vegas on Saturday night, which aired on Showtime.
“They say — and depending on who you talk to, the numbers may change — that 75 percent of the game [of boxing] is mental and 25 percent is physical. You just gotta look at it in terms of what’s all on the line,” said Trout. “You don’t want to think about defeat, but where does that set you, you know? This is a ‘can’t-lose’ situation, and I’ve said it about every fight that happens but it’s true: this is a can’t-lose situation for me. Everything I’ve worked for has brought me to this position here.”
