Why the Hate on Arreola for crying?

[KittenFlaps]

When you put that much effort, heart, emotion and time into your big chance to succeed in doing what you love, you have every right to cry when you dont succeed.

Also, any of you would start bawling after one jab from Vitali.

the mental and emotional build up to the fight is something that puts pressure on you for weeks at a time...it can get suffocating...that's a release...and no matter how bad you are doing a professional fighter WANTS TO FINISH THE FIGHT...same reason Corrales cried when they stopped the Mayweather fight...he had been down 5 times, had virtually no chance of winning and he cried, people were incredulous, people asked "whats the big deal? You were getting whupped anyway, no way would you have won" Well if you have to ask that question...if you don't know why he cried, then you just dont know and probably could never iunderstand....

I gotta agree that the wife is hot. Gold digga !?

I don't think she is. Didn't they say something on how she worked 2 jobs or something like that trying to support the family before Chris got known in boxing?

Yea have no clue why people would give him crap for crying. He may not be the most dedicated fighter when training but he puts everything hes got when hes in the ring. No way he would have quit. Boxers like him want to go out on their shield ya know, Like when Paulie was irate when McGirt stopped his fight with Hatton. It's like cmon I know I'm getting my ass kicked but I wanna show that you ain't gunna put me down, or your going to have to give your all to do it.

Let me tell you why Arreola busted down like he did. This guy got a fat dose of reality; about what he is and what he clearly is not. At the moment he quit on his stool (you didn't see him argue with his trainer or ref when it mattered, did you?) he realized that he wasn't the savior of American HW boxing. He realized that he wasn't even close. Deep down he knew that he was exactly what his detractors said he was. A fat, undisciplined poser. He knows now that to be elite in this sport (even in the sorry ass HW division), you have to work your ass off and sacrifice on a level that he knows inside he cannot commit to.

Couldn't have said it better myself. great post

A bit cruel. Dont you think? Anything could be done if you put your mind and heart into it.

Some people can't bottle their emotions. Simple as that. While some of us may not have cried in that situation, how many of us would have gone through all that punishment?

Sometimes you can hold the tears back, sometimes you can't. I've not cried during situations where I probably should have and vice versa. Human emotion is a tricky thing.

Im a fighter...Ive never cried. If i do lol It wont be like that!!! That was ****in alligator tears..like a break down. He needs a therapist

First of all, fighter or not, you are not at the top of any competitive fighting arena or sport, you have no idea whats its like to lay it all on the line in front of thousands in a crowd and millions on tv.

Second of all, if you cant understand why someone would cry after giving it all they had, you yourself have never done it.

You are, for the most part, a childlike, almost pathetic in many respects counterpart to a lineage of kiddy posters who jerk off to one fighter and then pretend to embody that fighter by claiming "im a fighter". What happened when Pac lost in that first Morales fight

He was devastated, he was emotional, because Pac knows what its like to lay it all on the line for greatness, and to come up short in front of your family. He made up for it later, but that isnt my point.

This is another example of your lack of understanding of something very basic because your own (short) life experience cant comprehend what its like to compete at the top level of anything, thus the emotion that comes with it is lost in your idiocy.

I dont think they are knocking him for crying, its just that he was crying like a baby. Everyone cries.

[FeFist]

I can remember falling over at the start of a race and coming in fourth. That made me cry, if fighters didn't have emotion they wouldn't fight with passion.

I'm not going to knock him for crying after this loss, you can tell that he was fighting for more than just a pay check, he really wanted that win and believed he could get it too. People that find such things pathetic have likely never been in a competitive situation where they've worked really hard to try and get victory.
