The Flinch That Changed Everything! - Gervonta Davis

[@solox5853]

his flinch was very nice infact. flinched by blocking movement then other hand ready for a throw. neat

[@RMGhoagie]

He def flinched lol. And he did the same thing in the fight at the end of the round and that’s when I knew he was going to take a powernap

To me, a "flinch" (already has a negative connotation), a reaction, just means youre paying attention & ready. Youd look pretty dumb if u didnt "flinch" & got SUH-macked

[@CoFFee-uw5sv]

Ikr but to some people think it's pussy behavior for some reason 😂 Same people who love brain damaging slugfest Flinching is good but if you don't flinch you have no reactions. But in this case within the boxing ring flinching can kill you due to feints

[@user019-q2l]

Ur right, its backwards logic. Why would i stand there and let someone hit me?

[@MidwestBoxing4644]

Two things can be true but in this case it was his reaction time and he reacted to late

[@kingflores8915]

Lmao why would you flinch in a situation you know you’re not getting hit in? That’s being spooked my boy.

[@Gdrisss]

Nah he was spooked. Knock it off

[@carltaylor2975]

Honestly, flinching is a pretty natural thing. Often it's more of a reflexive response than a response brought on by fear. For whatever reason we've associated flinching as a cowardly response, but it doesn't necessarily mean you're scared. It's not a smart gamble to stand there and do absolutely nothing so you can appear tough. What if the guy is ACTUALLY going to punch you in the face? Whether I'm afraid of you or not, if you act like you're going to punch me in the face, I'm not just standing there waiting for you connect lol.

[@oar5926]

I once made my mate flinch real bad before and he said almost the exact same thing you did as he was turning beet red from embarrassment 🤣 anyway, cheers bro, take care! 🤣

[@antoniojohn7749]

Bro that wasn't just a flinch bro went into warrior mode

[@Bumbobdoodle]

@@oar5926It’s because the logic has been made by idiots so they think it’s because of fear. Get over yourself.

[@senpijackson6023]

U aren’t making the decision to flinch or to not flinch and i think that’s the point. Flinching is purely involuntary so i would say flinching represents ur state of mind. If ur constantly on edge and anxious u will probably flinch. If u are relaxed I don’t think u will flinch. It’s not cowardly to flinch but it shows that ur aren’t comfortable.

[@FunctionalityOverFeelings]

What the fuck did that dude get punishment or something?

[@qriminalized]

I've always found it stupid that flinching has been seen as a negative reaction. Imagine people on the internet laughing at you for reacting to a professional fighter moving at you. People like to say "it's a faceoff, he's not going to get hit", but it CAN happen. No issue with not wanting to get decked.

[@BobPelot-v9x]

They are the people that weren't awake after the first punch. Hence no memory of their own flinching.

[@morimo11]

It turned out in favor of tank but anyone would flinch if someone lunged like that. When he flinched in the ring though, different story.

[@DontMessWithCaesar]

If you watch other face-offs it happens a lot and the real stone cold killers don't flinch.

[@dean8917]

No you don’t flinch at the press conference because your in no danger of being hit. In the fight different story

[@BobaDavis]

Flinching doesn't imply fear, but it can. If you don't flinch, it could be confidence but it could be the reason why you get hurt. On the other hand, flinching can indicate good general reflexes but it could also be the result of momentary tension. Interpretation is case by case.

[@adub92199]

Flinching is an interesting thing. It looks bad from an onlooker in the outside but doesn’t it just mean your reaction time is there? If you’re not caught off guard it makes you seem more alert.

[@miggs80]

The flinch changed nothing nor did it reveal anything. A boxer is trained to react to movements.

[@JustinR150]

If someone is squared up with you and jumps at you and you don’t flinch I don’t think you should be in the ring. It’s instinct and defensive responsibility. People who can’t fight look at a flinch as a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of awareness.

[@FRESH-313]

I agree but also its a strategy if i can get you to react to everything i do, and you fall for every flinch, i got you im going to fake going low and go high vice versa

Flinching is BOTH an involuntary response for the body to protect itself. The brain is perceiving pain or danger. I’m not afraid of a child but if the child suddenly jabbed a pencil at my face, I’m going to flinch. (Not because I was afraid.

​@@darrellwilliams1714 It literally doesn't. Yes, mental plays apart in fights, but we've seen fighters flinch and still dominate the fight multiple times. Preparedness and discipline in defense doesn't mean you're likely to lose

Always be on ur p’s & q’s folks! Flinching doesn’t mean ur scared at all! Hell , u don’t want to get hit in the face right right lol so ur first reaction was to flinch! I hate the internet

[@ElectricBluJay]

If your career consists of defending against shots constantly and countering threats, and someone can jump at you without your training automatically kicking into high gear, then you haven’t trained enough. Standing still while an aggressive person lunges at you is not strength - it’s a sign of unpreparedness

[@zack_sa7509]

[@69Savageee]

Tank was gettin pieced up until Frank slipped up

[@bedelian]

In a nornal situation, if someone tries to make you flinch, that's every justification to throw real punches back. The only reason Frank didn't do that is money.

[@SittimPK]

Flinch in those situation is not about reflex, it's completely a powerplay, they ALL KNOW the other dude wont hit you... during the faceoff just before the fight... too much money involved. And if he does u can beat his ass right there... So that makes it a way to show u r not threatened by the opponent. Its not a street situation (your face should never be close enough in a street situation to have to flinch soo...)

[@t-time9690]

"In battle if you make a lion flinch, you've already become the lion's dinner"--- t-time. If someone or something moves in a threatening manner towards you, and you take no steps to defend yourself, then you are either too slow, too cowardly, or too overconfident to move.
