You mean Duran might have quit in the brawl in montreal because he needed to go? :sad6: i read that once. It was some "expert" that speculated it. Personally, i dont think so, but i cannot say for sure that it was not so. Afterall, Duran did claim(among other excuses) that he was having stomach cramps. Might be another way of saying he really needed to go?? but again, not likely. Will try to find the original quote, and link it

i read that once. It was some "expert" that speculated it. Personally, i dont think so, but i cannot say for sure that it was not so. Afterall, Duran did claim(among other excuses) that he was having stomach cramps. Might be another way of saying he really needed to go?? but again, not likely. Will try to find the original quote, and link it found it! it was trainer and commentator Gil Clancy that speculated that perhaps Duran qiut cause he needed to go.. Their rematch was held in New Orleans on November 25, 1980. This time around, Leonard used far more lateral movement and jabs, staying off the ropes whenever possible. In round 7, Leonard taunted Duran, dropping his arms and winding up with a bolo punch. Neither fighter had absorbed much punishment, but Leonard had a narrow lead on all three scorecards after 7 rounds. In round 8, Duran turned around, walked to his corner and gave up. Although Duran is widely remembered for the now famous words, "no más," he never actually said them. It was actually commentator Howard Cosell who uttered the phrase, which inspired an angry comment from Duran in a 2005 article about the fight (however, the article makes it clear that Duran did quit, as he actually said the Spanish equivalent of "I can't continue"). Regardless, the sports world was stunned by Duran's actions. The controversy regarding this bout and Duran's motivation for quitting continues to this day. However, in an interview with ESPN, Duran had stated that he had started to get stomach cramps and felt it better to quit now than suffer through it. Trainer and TV commentator Gil Clancy opined that perhaps Duran was on the verge of defecating. In an episode of FOX Sports's Beyond The Glory, Duran's trainer said that Duran had turned to him and said "I won't fight anymore with this clown." Duran's manager, Carlos Eleta, said, "Duran didn't quit because of stomach cramps. He quit because he was embarrassed." i cannot post an URL sadly, but its under nusantaraku.org just write that and SRL in google and it will show up i hope

This might sound like a troll question but im honestly unsure what would happen if a boxer during the middle of a fight needs to go urinate because he drank too much water or whatever else. Would the ref stop the fight?, Would they have a time out?, Would they award the match to the other fighter? What happens? Again im not trolling but seriously asking as Im unsure, I know they obviously all go before the fight and all but when you got to go you got to go. This must have surely happened in boxing before? not sure.. Think the adrenaline and blood pumping might shut down thoose functions temporarily. Never heard or seen a soccer player(for instance) having to leave the field cause of something like that. However i did read once that some people wondered whether or not Duran might have quit(in the no mas fight) cause he was on the verge of defacating. Of course i cant say whether or not thats true

We know he's a big celebrity with alot of connections and we know he's a big bruce lee fan. Would it be that big of a stretch to think bruce lee's daughter or someone connected to ip tsun offered to show pac a few things on his off time and he's found ways to incorporate them into his fight style? I mean the official bruce lee website has advertised pac's upcoming fights the past couple of years possibly.. i think, though, that it was Bruce Lee's ghost that taught it to him. Like in that old movie where Van Damme was the bad guy, remember? thinks its a stretch??

I'll wait to hear you talk about 'Yank *******' when you are forced to submit to Sharia law...can't even rule your own island... What?? where did that come from??

Who knows, maybe a long vacation was exactly what he needed. It takes time to heal pride and head injuries from 2 brutal back to back KO losses. Not to mention the brutal KO loss to Pavlik. He could easily still have a good run left in him because your stupid if you don't believe he's one of the most skilled boxers out there. He didn't win an Olympic medal for nothing. Didn't beat B-Hop for nothing. Just bad career management if you ask me. He went from Hopkins to another close war with Winky Wright. Then instead of giving Winky the rematch he deserved which could of brought straight cash, he took 2 silly worthless bouts against Spinks and Ouma, then ran into a straight brick wall against Pavlik. Definitely has the talent as you saw him take it to Froch, just needs conditioning and motivation again. Could see him challenging for a world title again if he got his shiit together. Might be too depressed and mentally defeated now to even make a comeback though. overall, i agree. however he did train his ass of for AA bout, especially on his conditioning, since thats what cost him in the froch.. Must have been a really bad blow for him... btw, if he had lasted vs Froch and got the W, i imagine a comeback would be more expected. Especially with Froch`s recent run.

sergio martinez isn't showboating when he keeps his hands low against those eurobums. he just hasn't learned a proper boxing stance yet. Like ali??

he's not show boating he's dropping his hands knowing the other fighter will throw a punch than he will look for an opening to counter with yeah i know just trying to make the poster realise the stupidity of his post.. Ali of course is an ATG, i did not mean disrespect. Though Sergio is not on Alis level, he got skills. Saying he hasnt cause he keeping his hands low is IMO stupid..

True. The great Vic Darchynian is another example among many. im not sure, but i think boxing is pretty huge i Armenia.. they certainly has produced some good fighters, considering their population.

Jones is a waste of skin, always has been. I was pissing myself with laughter when Calzaghe brutally exposed him. This has to be a piss take...

carson is like 6 hours away from oakland. how is that home? its like 10 hours by plane from germany. Home advantage imo
