I listened to Keith . . .
I listened to Keith barking at a local that beat Danny Medina heads up in the mid-eighties, beat Johnny Archer heads up too. When he was ignored Keith was up to offering him the last five when things were interrupted. There is a word for that and it isn't confidence. If you think that Keith was a good bet giving up that spot you are living in a dream world.

macneilb said:I'll agree with you on the first part, but IMO there isn't a line between confidence and recklessness - the ends justify the means. If you make a tough game giving away all sorts of weight, and you lose...you were over-confident and reckless. If you win...you were just that confident in how good you are. I won the silver and bronze medals for team canada at the world kickboxing championships when I was 17 and 18, fighting guys who were bigger, meaner, more experienced, and on paper - probably better fighters, but I wanted it more than anything and had the belief that I was just that good. Was I being reckless then? maybe i just have an admiration for people who aren't afraid to try to beat the odds. who knows![]()
