Part 6/9:
Jurogan’s mental preparation drew heavily from boxing legends and their philosophies. He referenced Muhammad Ali’s strategy against George Foreman and the wisdom of trainer Cus D'Amato, especially his advice to hit an opponent with their own "best punch" early to gain respect. Before entering the ring, Jurogan studied D'Amato's mind and philosophy, highlighting the importance of psychology and destiny in boxing.
His confidence was further bolstered by the sense that the right hand shot he had been dreaming of was meant to happen, aligning with his belief in destiny. As he predicted, the moment came as Tia was overly aggressive early in the fight, and Jurogan capitalized with a perfect right hand, a move that changed the course of the bout.
