Comments Thread For: Matthysse: I Wasn't Hurt, I Didn't Want To Go Blind

Wont bash on Lucas, but he did quit, plain and simple! IMHO he looked gassed and frustrated prior to quitting. He even said at one point: "nothing was going for me". At the end of the day is his health and there's nothing wrong looking out for you.

Now, what I'm amazed is on the double standards by posters @ this site. If it would be any of the "unlike fighters" I guarantee that the threads would have been very different. Can you imagine if Floyd, Cotto, Broner, Danny G, Ward, etc. made the same decision?!!!!

I can't knock any fighter who makes a decision based on his long term health during a match ..It his eye not mine

but when other fighters move out of the way of a glove so that it doesn't hit them in the head or eye.. they are "runners"?

cialis is a pill for ******** disfunction. so you talked about c#cks.


just bend over and accept that you have no business talking about boxing [or anything for that matter] with somebody like myself. it's a hell of a lot easier. i'm in that ******** either way.

No, I talked about Cialis.

so all of a sudden, health first is a good "eye"dea?????????? hmmmm smh u dudes are something else

[Fetta]

Am i the only one thats sees the contradiction in this statement

[Bardock]

I dont really have a real problem with what happened.....

But are the " health comes first " people really co-signing this ?

What happened to, " do it for the fans " ?

What happened to, " go out on your shield " ?

What happened to " warrior doe " ?

As I said, dont really have a problem, other than the lack of consistancy from some fans.

This. People on here want to pick and choose whens its okay to criticize a fighter for quitting. But he quit, plain and simple.

I'll take his word for it. He didn't seem hurt and kept pressing on his eye, looks like a freak accident.

How can it be a "freak accident" if it's happened like 3 times now?

[damian War]

what a damn quitter, real warriors fight with one eye all the time ..retire already
