The Chin Checkers

[TyrantT316]

well you need to understand that it is one thing for a young fighter to "need that loss" to better advance them and see what they have...

but this wasn't some Bojado, Camacho Jr, or Olajide loss...this was a brutal and fatal looking knockout...the type that would make him so gunshy IF he continued boxing...

nothing is "learned" from being blown out in 18 seconds...it is not like you were "out veterened" over 10 rounds...you were caught cold before you had a chance to learn anything...the only thing you learn is that you can be KOed so just be more careful...

[Easy-E]

can someone name me another fighter who got knocked completely unconscious in under 30 seconds, was slumped through the ropes, out cold for 5 minutes, left the ring on a stretcher and spent the night in the hospital that went on to become a champion??

yup, herol grahm

John Ruiz, minus the stretcher.

John Ruiz, minus the stretcher.

ruizs KO was much more of a fluke, codrington could fight green 50 times and hed lose every single time....

Chin Checkers hmmm they might want to establish some cred. with a name like that. Hell I wanted to see what they were all about with a name like that & to get 'Chin Checked' 19 seconds Ruiz style fashion is embarrassing & Mr Chin Checker lil punk ass was talking big **** too? To the other fighter, family & trainers.Man **** him got he what he deserved *****. Unless you can back it up like James "'Lights Out' Toney shut the **** up & stick to Joe Cala-***gy birth names.

Or should I say, the chin CHECKER, no "s". What happened? Are they truly overhyped or what.
EIGHTEEN SECONDS?? WTF. I must admit. I was big on them too. Codringtons career may be over at 21 for real.

Can a chin checker fan tell me what the deal is........

Overhyped? Umm...hardly. Nobody besides me and a couple others even followed them. My boy Jaidon finally got live TV exposure and bam, he gets KTFO in 18 seconds. I'm hoping he'll bounce back, but I don't look for much now. How can I? Damn, 18 seconds, that's got to be tough to come back from.

A prospect getting dropped that early does not neccesarily mean that he was over hyped. Remember, that we live todays boxing world where a lose before winning the title seems to mean certain doom in the publicity department. And thats a shame. What if Henry Armstrong quit or was not allowed any exposure because of his early defeat.

There are many ways that something like that could happen. Maybe he wasnt warmed properly before stepping in. Maybe the bout before him ended abruptly and unexpectedly and he was hurried to the ring to fight. I didnt see the bouts, its just a what if. On top of that, he may have just got caught. It happens to the best of 'em sometime or another. Hell, what if he just got over confident reading his own press clippings and took a guy lightly that he should not have. There are so many possibilities. Once again, I did not see the fight nor have I even seen the fighter.

The boxing game is about hype and promotion, period. The more that the promoters can make you believe that this is the next sugar ray, the more money he will make.

One loss is just that, one loss. He may come back stronger by it or it may crush his ego and confidence. Time will tell on that. But if you believe in a man before a defeat, dont stop believing. Because there will always be one guy out there with your number or he showed up at the right time, thats just the way that the game goes.

Rockin'

Yeah I was a huge Codrington fan before the fight, not hating him now just cause he did get knocked the **** out in a round. Damn boxing is the most humbling of sports when you [or your boxer] lose[s].

Bernard Hopkins lost his first fight.
