Every fighter comes into a fight with a game plan to take advantage of their opponent’s weakness. Well, almost everyone.

There are a few times when guys go into a fight and, to quote a popular phrase, “wet the bed.” These game plans are absolutely terrible from start to finish and usually result in something unpleasant for the unfortunate ones.
