Why do boxers get tired?

Boxing is incredibly demanding, requiring both explosive power and sustained endurance. Boxers can tire due to lactic acid build-up in muscles, dehydration, or simply expending too much energy early on. Itauma's early dominance likely cost him, leading to his fatigue and Hrgovic's comeback in the later rounds.
