One of the things I respect most about Pernell Whitaker (and for that matter Roger Mayweather) was the fact that he would do whatever it takes to win.

I remember the Pernell Whitaker vs. Roger Mayweather fight from back when I was a young cub running all kinds of hustles. I was shocked with the violent beauty of it all.

I was even more impressed with both fighters will to win at all costs. No holding back. Rules are meant to be shattered.

Check it:

Pernell Whitaker vs. Roger Mayweather

• Even before the fight starts, Whitaker is landing blows (0:15). Mental Warfare.

• Uses Impeccable Technique in Round One to score a knockdown (1:18) with a sick right hook – left hook combo.

Throws five punches after the bell (1:30). Mayweather, dazed goes to the wrong corner. Referee has lost all control of the fight.

• Throws a punch on the break (2:01) and lands it on the referee’s mug.

• Whitaker and Mayweather go to war and exchange heavy shots.

• Whitaker fights like a demon possessed (3:30).

• Sweet Pea not afraid to use an occasional elbow or two (4:20).

• Pernell notices that The Black Mamba is having trouble with his trunks, and takes advantage (4:47). First rule of boxing: Protect yourself at all times.

• Then taunts Mayweather (4:56).

• Much respect to Mayweather for channeling his energy to dropping Whitaker then hitting him while he is down (5:27).

• Whitaker is hurt, and is smart enough to hold.

• Regaining his head, Whitaker throws bombs back (6:49). Wobbles Mayweather.

• Mayweather plays possum (7:20).

• Whitaker “spins” Mayweather (8:10).

• Both fighters pour it on till the closing bell.

• Mayweather lands a late punch.

• Whitaker wins.

Apply these lessons of “winning dirty” to your own life.
