Rest of his career is forgotten about now then is it? Him demolishing donaire, beating darchinyan, should all be thrown out the window should it?
Why are people so desperate to throw fighters on the scrap heap. Cant people just think, yeah hes not as good as lomachenko, but neither is anyone else around that weight most likely. Seen it with gary russell, guy was prospect of the year, is a top fighter really yet his name never gets mentioned on here, or anywhere really anymore cause he lost. This is part of the reason boxers dont accept hard fights, cause the mentality is if someone loses then they are rubbish. WHy should the guy be vilified for one bad fight?
Yeah he quit, cant praise him for it but does he really deserve the abuse coming his way? Easy for people to moan at him but they werent in his position, he was probably knackered, taking punishment, starting to get a bit of a beating and realised he had run out of ideas, so he called it a night. Some boxers have superhuman levels of courage, like abraham fighting through a broken jaw, some dont. But why should he now be called a coward etc, just cause he wasnt willing to take a beating? Seems like theres no middleground, your either a warrior or a coward.
Its nothing to be proud of but does he really deserve the **** in the media slating him for it, arum saying hes a tough sell, seen many saying they will never watch him again etc.
Think its pretty ****ing unfair that all his other good nights where hes delivered and brought entertainment for everyone is now forgotten about and people are wiping their arse with his name now. Everyone has regrets, he probably now regrets quitting but it shouldnt be a stick to beat him with for the rest of his career. At least he got in their with a top fighter in the first place, thats more than 99 percent of the current boxing roster are doing.
