It really isn’t a matter of NEED a man or woman watch me fight if having someone cheer me on gives me a psychological advantage great but to be honest sometimes I get so lost in a fight the cheers or chants become like a dull humming noise, I am thinking or try to 2-3 steps ahead I try to in my mind plan my counter to something my opponent might try or thwart it before her full execution, it’s the same if it is a crowd watching me fight , and both circumstances can add in needed stress to an already intense stressful situation, if your talking arranged rule stuff in a real bar/street fight style I am 1000%focused on one thing doing WHATEVER I have to to hear her say “ ok I am done” or get pulled off her as she is getting her ass handed to her by me and I do mean WHATEVER I’ll bite , punch , kick, claw and rip out a clump of hair if it means I walk away chin up knowing my man , my friends, my sisters are watching my back of course it helps allows me to concentrate on fighting cause none of them would let a third party jump in and try to “ turn the tables”
