    Do fighters lack a killer instinct nowadays.

    When I watched the Berto and Guererro fight I was pissed off at Guerrero as I thought it was a ***** move continuing to punch Berto after the bell, to be honest I still think it is a ***** move but that's besides the point. I saw no frustration from Berto, no desire to fight back. He should have straight up kneed him in the face, headbutt him, hit him with a low blow, body slam etc. Stops being a boxing match as soon as the final ding is heard.

    Same applies with Victor Ortiz. He displayed a killer instinct when headbutting Mayweather but then he backed down when trying to hug Mayweather multiple times, save that **** for after the fight.

    There are other examples that I don't care to list right now.

    Don't really see anybody here complaining about that since I'm sure alot of people here thinks that Guerrero just didn't hear the bell. If anything, it was the ****** ref's fault for not breaking them off when the bell rang, he was nowhere near the fighters.

      Robert hitting Berto after the bell was hilarious to me. Robert's a G.

      But that's besides the point, he couldn't hear the bell because of the crowd and the incompetent ref didn't even step in and pull them apart.

          I'm sorry but I don't buy that. Maybe is Guerrero had a reputations as a good sportsman and a clean fighter I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but he has always come across as a dirty prick.

            Well isn't that the "killer instinct" you were talking about in the first place? Robert being so into the fight, so much into punishing his opponent that he decides to keep punching even after the bell? That's killer instinct.

              tbh, i dont really care much about Guerrero and his fighting style - i hated his style that night, just saying in that moment it really just looked like he didn't hear the bell. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the commentators agreed.

                I think Peter Quillin lacks killer instinct. He had that french guy down so many times and didnt go for the kill.
