Fighters never go with a woman when in training


Midge made a huge mistake having sex the day before the fight. I think Charlie Davis did the same thing in Body and Soul. It's known among fighters that it weakens you. It was mentioned in Rocky and even in Raging Bull. I believe Floyd Mayweather mentioned it once on a talk show. Midge having sex with Emma the day before certainly did not help him when he went into that tough fight with Johnny Dunne.
