    Sick of this ****

    Is it just me, or is anyone else getting a little tired of the post-fight BS.

    Apparently every fighter who loses is either past their prime, didn't train properly, not focused, or part of some other drama.

    Whatever happened to taking ****ing responsibility?

    That's why I like older fighters. They rarely complained about a loss, and VERY rarely whined about anything. They usually just congratulated their opponent and tried to do better next time.

    I'm so sick of hearing somebody should retire cause they got their ass handed to them

    Please remember, not both of them can win, one of them has to lose. Sometimes, the winner is just the better man

    Yeah, totally agree with you!

    If someones favourite fighter loses then it easy to say they were passed their prime or the other fighter fought dirty etc

    If you are fit, ready to fight and except a pay day then you are there to stand up and be judged! Win or lose!

        Yeah, in the first fight, when Pacman lost, all the pinoys said pacman was not focused due to a cut, but don't boxers get cut all the time? That is part of the job and not a legit excuse. Now EM lost and people are saying he is done. What a shame, emotions make people say biased things, and the people who are comlaining about the EM excuses for this fight, are the same people that posted the pacman excuses for the first fight.

          And also, people seem to forget that you shouldn't just quit boxing if you can't dominate in the higher ranks anymore. If you're still competitive and make good fights, I don't see why you should stop earning money.

          Some people are at the stage where they need to bail though. Like Evander and Tyson. They aren't even competitive anymore. But Morales? Please, I can't stand him, but he's still good enough to keep on boxing

                He lost all the major fights recently, except the first match with Pacman.

                    I love the spirit of the original post. Every fighter who loses is exposed
