Infamous boxing champion, Joe Lewis was set to defend his title on June 28, 1939 against Tony Galento. Galento was not expected to be much of a challenge for the champ but in the 3rd round, Galento knocked Lewis to the canvas. Lewis sprung back up to his feet and immediately went after the challenger.

At the end of the round, Lewis went to his corner and was met by his trainer who shouted at him:

“You know you’re supposed to take a full 9 count when you’re knocked down!”

Lewis replied:

“WHAT?!?! And give him a chance to rest?!?!?”

Lewis went on to destroy Galento in the fourth round to retain the title.

If you want to be a champion in life, follow Lewis’s example and don’t take the 9 count… Jump back up and keep moving forward knocking any challenges down and out of your way!

To Your Success
