I would say both sides have some truth. If you are the greatest fighter in the world with full armory of physical skills, but you don't pay attention and get whacked by the skinny little runt with a lead pipe, you lose. If you are aware of your environment and can feel the hostility of the blow before it begins, but can't get your body to do anything meaningful about it, you lose.

It takes both mental and physical skills to win a fight. The one that is important is the one you are lacking. Develop the physical AND mental skills to win.
