"Probably it was a frustrating fight for the spectators but I'm really happy that I was able to score a knockout in the end. I'm going to improve my boxing and show them more exciting fight." - Nishioka
If only Mayweather has the same concern for the audience.

You know boxing is dying when all people can think about is a boxer retired for almost 2 years now and who's probably not coming back anyway. Jesus, get over Floyd! Think about good fresh talent like Dawson, Kirkland, Gamboa, Paul Williams, Miguel Cotto, Angulo... At least a few of these guys will be at the top of the game for a big while.Comment

I didn't realize that less than 13 months is "almost 2 years". Not to mention that he didn't actually announce his retirement until about six months ago. Floyd fans so heavy on the drama.You know boxing is dying when all people can think about is a boxer retired for almost 2 years now and who's probably not coming back anyway. Jesus, get over Floyd!
