Comments Thread For: Donaire Explains Legs Cramps in Mathebula Fight

[Atreyu Khalil]

If your fans are so smitten they will believe anything you say, why not go with leg cramps whenever you look unimpressive?

It's not universal, it's only the Fillipino excuse.

What about 'I am innocent' that American fighters use after being busted...

Big deal. He still whooped him and almost knocked him out. He was complaining about it to his corner. I doubt he's just totally making it up. Is it really that hard to believe that a boxer could get leg cramps in a fight?

He whooped who?

On the scorecards, sure he whooped him. But whooped him in the ring? No he did not. Almost everybody's scorecard is an agreed 115-113. That is by no means a "whooping".

i think i remember matthysse complaining about leg cramps before in a fight...and chavez jr complained about leg cramps before i think.

I don't ever remember Lucas Matthysse complaining about leg cramps. I goggled Lucas Matthysse and leg cramps and it linked me to your post.

I remember Chavez Jr's leg cramps, Pacquiao's, and Donaire. So I guess it's a Top Rank excuse.

Dear Nonito,

I fully understand your cramp problem. I lost the fight to Carl when I fully developed a cramp on my pee pee as I saw Carl's wife. That's why I signed up for that rematch.


Au Revoir,

I have a better idea: How about these professional athletes just STFU about "leg cramps"?

For goodness sakes, Ronnie Lott had the tip of his finger chopped off in a game: No complaints.

Mike Singletary had to run around constantly and he never ever ever ever ever ever ever moaned about "leg cramps"...

[MASTER1454]

It's weird how we went entire eras of boxing without ever hearing about "leg cramps".

You don't think Jake LaMotta ever had mothereffing leg cramps!??? Complaining about leg cramps is lame.

I concur - Lame as hell.....

He did? By the looks of Nonito's grill - I'd say otherwise. And almost doesn't count......

LOL, channeling his inner Pacquaio.......

On the scorecards, sure he whooped him. But whooped him in the ring? No he did not. Almost everybody's scorecard is an agreed 115-113. That is by no means a "whooping".

Plus his face had some drinks with Willie Lump Lump........

You mean Top Stank.......

Excuse me? Whooped who? Almost KOed who? Sure he had Mathebula hurt when the KD happened but the next and the next and the next and so on rounds were being stolen by Mathebula till he cracked his tooth and became inactive for the 11th and 12th. If it wasn't for that Mathebula would've stole the fight, on ringside scorecards of course. Cause the "official" ones sounded like they were written as the fighters were entering the ring.

Haters gonna hate, but that's ok. I guess you guys never exerted yourselves athletically and gotten a leg cramp. That's cool. At least he got the "W," and thats what matters.

Barely got the W vs tune up...

The dude is so one dimensional that once he can't KO his opponent in the opening rounds he becomes reckless and desperate without knowing what to do.

Warming up for an hour before fighting is fucked up. I had to warm up for 35-40 mn before an amateur fight and it sapped the energy out of me. Whoever told Donaire the Pavlik fight would be over quickly doesn't know shit, Rosinsky is a top contender, he wasn't gonna go away early.
