The world of boxing is known for its fierce competition, and fighters often use psychological tactics to intimidate their opponents before a match. These methods include trash-talking, riling up the opponent, or anything that could give a fighter an advantage over his opponent before a fight. We have seen many fighters use this with quite the results including Conor McGregor, Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson all of whom were known for their psychological warfare.

However, these tactics don’t always work against people who are strong-willed and confident in their skills. In addition, trying to rile up these people could also backfire with them giving out some extra damage due to the already brewing bad blood. This was exactly the case with a fighter who tried to boast before a fight but was met with the beating of his life in the ring.

A recent video of a face-off and a boxing match has been circulating over the internet. In the video, we can see two fighters facing off with one of them trying to intimidate the other following him around and trying to get in his face. However, this would not end well for the instigator as he would swiftly be dispatched to the boxing ring. The fighter who was subjected to the psychological games landed some clean blows as the other fighter was stuck in the ropes before the referee stopped the fight. Moreover, this video even drew some wild reactions from fans who were also riled up after watching this video.
