One was really early in my training, I met this cool guy he was a chubby indian kid about 20 and we were doing a bit of sparring on the outside, and then in the ring there was a regular training partner of mine who did not look like the sorta guy you'd fuck with. He was a big six foot tall black guy, i believe a middleweight.
So we were chatting after our round and he asked if we wanted to spar. I was up for it because i trusted the dude, and we did a few rounds and he obviously got the better of me. Then the chubby indian kid gets in, and despite never training before in his life, had a hell of a go of it.
He got kicked back and instead of panicking, he went into some kung fu stance, just for the show, before reverting back to his muay thai stance and began fighting out and even through a fucking HEAD KICK.
Missed by a mile, but he still went for it. After me and the big black dude were talking in the changing room, and we were pretty impressed, thought he was a natural.
Had never trained before, but was looking pretty mighty.
As far as i'm aware he never went on to fight but still - had promise.
Sometimes you can just tell when someone is just a damn natural. I really think everyone has something that theyre almost a natural at or it comes super easy to them. Whether its body type or mentality or both i think people should at least try to go that path (kinda a "born to do it" type thing i guess?)
