Comments Thread For: Journeyman Michael Ogundo Drops, Stops Lamont Peterson In 4th Round Of Comeback Bout

That wasn't good. Lamont has already taken a lot of punishment, he has been a warrior. IDK why anyone thought the comeback was a good idea. There are just always toerags hanging around getting in a guy's ear, saying 'you can still cut it champ'. No you can't. Time waits for no man. Sad to see.

Yes, very sad but unfortunately it seems this is the only way a lot of fighters realise they're done.

Lamont was a real one. Hopefully he's saved his pennies over the years, because it's time to walk away buddy.

Catch 22
What else can they do ?

Boxing, for most, is all they know.
And after reaching a certain level economically, a regular 9-5 won't do.
Even in losing, that check will be 1000x bigger than the alternative.

At the same time, dudes are not that delusional
They know they are not what they once were and what they once were was not great.
Most do not retire being the A Side....or even the B Side.

Take Broner for example
He has to know he best days were 10 years ago.
He talks crazy because his future is on the line.
As long as his mouth is moving, people will give him the benefit of the doubt.
