When the training’s right, there’s no need to explain;
He was aware fo what his corner would say.
The best combinations to deliver pain
Are crucial to learn and needed some day.
Technique like a virus to those unprepared;
The vaccine’s in the gym, not a round is spared.
An offensive mindset needs defense as well;
Next thing is…awaiting the ring of the bell.
