Exactly The Same Fear [D'Amato]

From Body and Soul, Loic Wacquant, 2004.

Legendary trainer manager Cus D'Amato, the 'discoverer' of Mike Tyson, sums up the matter thus: 'The fighter has mastered his emotions to the extent he can conceal and control them. Fear is an asset to a fighter. It makes him move faster, be quicker and more alert. Heroes and cowards feel exactly the same fear. Heroes react to it differently.'
