Mentality Monsters | Gary Rooney: Better Days Ahead | Episode 2

Gary Rooney did everything right. The weight cut, the sparring, the miles on the road. Then, twenty-four hours before he was due to fight, he was told it was off. This episode follows Gary through camp for his bout with Tom Creasey. In the gym for the hard sparring rounds, on the scales for the weight cut, and out for the cardio sessions that happen long before anyone's watching. Weeks of work, all of it pointed at one night. And then, a day out, that night disappears. What's left is the question every fighter eventually has to answer: what do you do with all that work when there's suddenly nowhere to put it? This is Gary in the hours after the call — dealing with it, sitting in it, and finding a way forward. Better days ahead.
