Eimantas Stanionis’ skepticism is understandable. The unbeaten WBA Welterweight World Champion is scheduled to end an irritating two-year layoff when he squares off versus Venezuela’s Gabriel Maestre on the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez-Jaime Munguia pay-per-view card this Saturday, May 4, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

There comes a point in many elite fighters’ careers where they make the mistake of crossing the line separating confidence, which is good to have, and possible overconfidence, which can be very, very bad. Example A might be the world’s expectation that Mike Tyson would wipe the floor with Buster Douglas in Tokyo, an anticipated blowout that Tyson, it would appear, fully bought into, to his detriment.
