If you know your offense is struggling, and you feel like mice, there's the story about the two mice in the cream. The first one drowned, but the second one kept struggling until itchurned the creme into butter and crawled out until it could walk again. Really though, when you decide what you will allow to happen (on defense), and whether you will let somebody else determine the pace or the fate of what happens, is what makes the difference between whether it is hard enough to seem impossible not to lose, or whether it is actually impossible to lose. If you're going to fight, fight as you and not to be like somebody else, that way they don't determine your fate.
Defense is what makes the difference between whether it's hard enough to seem impossible to win with 93 points, and ehether it is impossible. If you give up before the end, it really will be impossible.

What you allow to happen will. Your opponent won't pass up an oppurtunity, so usually it's defense faaling asleep instead up waking up and fighting to the end that makes the difference in what will happen. When you let an opponent control your fate, they always will, every time.

I was just thinking about Chael Sonnen's criticism of the Francis (I'm not going to try to spell Ngannu and I'm not going to google it) vs Tyson Fury decision (And I know this eas a while ago) and...
Hym "Whst his steroid addled mind fails to grasp is that BOXING judges score for defense in a way that UFC judges do not. So, a 10/8 isn't going to win a decision if literally every other punch misses and you get jabbed 40 times a round. Now, the converse is that if UFC judges scored for defense in the same way... Sean Strickland beats Dricus. If BOXING judges scored for damage Francis wins the decision."

The ultimate trump card. When you're down and out it's the last defense you have against people trying to justify your repositioning in society.
Hym "A prime example of the 'I have kids' defense is KRISTI NOEM. In her interview after it was revealed that she shot her own dog, she DESPERATELY tried to employ this defense before being shoved out of the spotlight. 'I'm a mother! I wanna go upies! Not downies! Nooooooooooo!' Heheheheh... And a more recent example is Andrew Tate's interview after getting out recently. 'I have kids! I'm supposed to be able to do whatever I want! Anything and everything is justifiable when you have kids!' Ha! It's ALWAYS THE CASE! He stole? He had to steal for the kids! Why does policy need to change? The kids? Why did we bomb those kids? The kids of course. But your kids are just you. Nothing changed when you had them. Maybe, socially, you moved into the class of people that other people have to give a shit about by way of extension. That's not real a change though. Your kids = You. Their inflated value exists only in relationship to you. Saying 'MY kids are more important than anything' is no different that saying 'I'm more important than anything.' You. Same thing."

When someone gets so defensive, it’s like trying to break into Fort Knox, just ain’t gonna break through to them.
Me: “Damn you really gonna put ketchup on macaroni and cheese??”
Them: “Yeah, and you’d know better if you had some taste!”
Me: “DAMN, you don’t have to get Fort Knox defensive on me…”
Them: “Yeah, and you’d know better if you had some taste!”
Me: “DAMN, you don’t have to get Fort Knox defensive on me…”

The most sure way to make absolutely everyone hate you. It's the absolute most DESPICABLE fucking thing a human being can ever do. Bar fucking none.
I will say this once, and I will not say it again:
NEVER.
GET.
DEFENSIVE.
It'll be the absolute last fucking thing you'll ever do. Mark my fucking words.
