Comments Thread For: Detached Retina Real Reason Mares Withdrew From Davis Fight

This sucks on so many levels.

[Santa_]

Ah that sucks.

24 rounds with LSC will take a toll out of any fighter tbh. Frampton is another example. Sad.

He needs to hang them up.

I'm assuming he's made some nice money over his career & as long as he doesn't own 3 tiger striped Lamborghinis or other bs like that I'd assume he should have a nice amount in the bank &/or investments to move into the next phase of his life with.

That said I bet its a mfer to decide what the next phase of your life entails when you've been off the grid of what most people consider a real job or career. And I'm sure its a hard transition from going from a pro boxer to a boat salesman or w/e type of job a ex-boxer would happen to find himself in in the "civilian" world.

Man, I wish he would've just said this when he pulled out of the fight....especially if he KNEW he wouldn't be able to fight. I don't get the secrets and so on.

Most are aware of his eye injury from back in the day and he's had a long career since then. I can't be the one to tell him to retire, only he knows what his body's able to endure at this point.

Whatever his decision is, I support him.

Abner knew Davis would detach that eye. Furthermore, Robert didn’t want to be 0-3 in title fights. Mares was never special, just a crouch hunter. If you’re scared, retire

Saved Davis an ass whooping. Og was hungry for this hes seen nd been through it all.

[Ray*]

This was a blessing in disguise for him. He would have probably been hurt even further against Tank. Somethings money can’t buy.

[Steven Mccowan]

Had eye issues that wouldn't allow him to get licensed in NY couple yrs ago. Boxing idiots just don't pay attention.

[OldTerry]

That's a really bad injury

Davis is an idiot for saying mares faked the injury

The Bible book of 1st Corinthians 15:33 states that bad associations spoil useful habits and Broner is one of Davis' associations. You can't wallow in the mire without getting some of it on you.

Thanks for the memories Abner. Win or lose, you gave it your all. Jack Reiss is still a **** for not even letting you get up against Jhonny.
