Bul-ga-ri – yu-na-tsi! Champion, we are with you! Kubrat Pulev was greeted at Sofia airport with similar shouts. A warm welcome, perhaps even poignant. The cobra gives several autographs. In front of cameras and microphones, the Bulgarian boxer declared: Joshua was scared. He was afraid of me. I was scared even before the game …
Instead of a folk tune, the loose orchestra brought in for the event had to play a shower at that time, like at the end of a circus clown.
Anyone who has watched all eight and a half rounds of the match in London must have pinched themselves to make sure they weren’t dreaming. Anthony Joshua was scared in the ring those days before ?! Really? And how did such a scared man impose the Cobra from the first second to the knockout itself? And it could have ended much earlier if it hadn’t been for the decision to extend the show.
We put aside Pulev’s incomprehensible grimaces, ridiculous grimace and gestures to his opponent in the ring. Even the “Remember who I am!” Del Cobra, when AJ went to the corner where our team was, to greet them, we will miss. But if Kubrat Pulev is the athlete he wants to be accepted for, he would find the strength for the purely human: Champion, he was better! It was an honor for me to be in the ring. Nothing more.
The warrior, as Pulev thinks, accepts victory and loss with dignity. That’s what champions do.
The great Muhammad Ali is known for his winged thoughts, strange humor, and original philosophical speculations. Some are very well suited to the situation where the loser Pulev behaves like a winner and attacks the true champion.
Ali: “If you consider yourself big and strong, tell me how tall you are to know how far to walk when you fall.”
“You don’t care about the mountain you have to climb, you don’t care about the pebble in your shoe.”
And something really instructive. For two of his career losses, to Larry Holmes and Trevor Berbick, Mohamed Ali admits: I was arrogant and they were better at the time. I didn’t want it, but I accepted it.
In the book “The Soul of the Butterfly”, Ali tells the following story. “Years ago, I was flying somewhere and hadn’t put on a seatbelt. When the flight attendant told me, I replied that Superman didn’t need a seatbelt. Then she smiled at me and said, ‘Superman doesn’t need a seatbelt. plane”.
