I can't blame anyone for quitting....

[Grimmer]

It's easy for us armchair fans to sit back and criticise a fighter for quitting, most of us won't ever step foot into a boxing ring. When someone throws punches at you it generally hurts. Campbell and Witter know their limits, both are getting on and both fought younger hungrier fighters. The boxer's health comes first....some people say retiring is cowardly, I say it's brave and smart. Considering how retiring is frowned upon amongst the "experts" on here and around the world it's not easy for a fighter to decide "no more" and if they feel their health is at jeopardy then the smart thing is to retire....I'd rather retire in a safe condition than risk being seriously hurt and damaged by going out for another round, the same result will be the same, a loss.

Junior quit but Nate refused to look bad, hence came up with an excuse instead of looking bad

[D-MiZe]

Witter quit.

Then blamed his elbow?

[JACK D. RIPPER]

Bull****.

But especially bull****, considering Nate was fighting for his career.

*** him.

This type of logic usually works on the people who will often sympathize with the man in question.

But it doesn't work on me.

These guys are well compensated for what they do if they're at the Elite level like Campbell.

And quotes like yours seems to gloss over that.

Why are they in the ring to begin with?

Because our viewership pays them to be.

And we tune in to see a fight.

Anytime a fighter doesn't give us that ; it's shameful.

Boxing fans love to talk about true men, and warriors. Then they wince when they get shots of novocaine at the dentists office.

LMAO!

Up mine? Wow, you enjoy taking the Internet so seriously? I bet you have a hot girlfriend.

Anyway....

No, but fighters don't force you to pay jack ****, do they?

Sometimes, **** is too dangerous to continue. They shouldn't say, 'Wel, perhaps my health is on the line, but I have to worry about them not feeling ripped off.'

FUcK that. And up YOURS, my friend.
