"A lot of times boxing fans can be heard calling fighters cowards or even quitters. Realize that its easy to speak that way of someone from the comfort of your home. It takes tremendous courage to choose such a violent path as a way to provide for your family. Unfortunately, fighters as the ones mentioned in this article have sadly paid the ultimate prize. Next time you see a fight, please think twice before throwing insults at a fighter... he might have a reason for his actions, a reason that unknowingly to you might have saved his life."
This quote stood out to me. And I believe a lot of boxing fans could learn something from it!
i dont think they choose it for most of them thats the only way out.
Your articles are some of my favorites in the BR Boxing section, you're totally the best newcomer.
The Leo Reyes pac-pr0n was getting ridiculous...I saw he was removed as a featured columnist as well.
Keep writing them and I'll keep reading them.
thanks i appreciate that a lot.
its a great fighters nature to fight on and the ref should give him the benifit of the doubt but.....
the corner needs to call it off when its about to go to far....
thats the way i look at it atleast.
the corners sure do

seems like it happens more with the smaller guys...
maybe cause they are less likly to end it quicly so it goes jsut a little to far.
It's because small fighters are actually big man. At the lower weights you have pretty dramatic weight cuts.
