Thats what happens when you try your best and you still get your ass beat.

Ruslan V Rios and everyone can go home happy

Not a bad idea . Reward both warriors for the fights they've given us ... but if Rios discovers the jab he takes a UD easily .

If he does retire, I appreciate all the great fights he has brought us.

Thank you for your fight against Bradley and ESPECIALLY against Matthysse.

Good. The way he takes punches flush is not good. I mean that man must have terrible head aches after every fight because of how much he gets hit in the head.

I hope he retires for his own health. He's provided us fans with amazing fights. He's made his mark.

Idk, I'd rather be a little quick to dismiss a fighter than to see him stay long enough to get irreversibly damaged. If the fighter himself is saying he doesn't know if he has the fire anymore, has taken the number of punches Ruslan's taken, and looked as bad as Ruslan did in a fight where he was a huge favorite isn't enough to call for his retirement then shiet... idk what is.

good call !

Provo made Molina look like Andrade or something. Ruslan should be paired with guys his own size. He's short and got short arms. He will never do well with bigger opponents.

[turnedup]

Ruslan is a fighter's fighter through and through but that punishment you take to fight in that style amounts. I don't think he retires because unlike a guy like Rios who got some of that Pacquaio money to fall back on Ruslan hasn't really made a payday of that nature. Who knows he may plan on having a simple life after boxing but I would hate for him to walk away now only to comeback to fighting when he's even more deteriorated just for some checks.

Ruslan was not himself from the get go. He was un responsive to his corner for most of the fight. Many online sportsbooks had him favored at -1300.
