Is It Ever Appropriate To Storm Out Of The Ring?

[LOLORSKATES]

I look at it like, they're there for 12 rounds to battle bell in and bell out they don't need to be there any longer then they should. Atleast if a boxer talks crap and gets destroyed they should at least credit whoever whooped them and then leave.

If you've just been in a war for 12 rounds, emotions are flying so i can't really blame a fighter for walking out & not staying for the post-fight interview, if they give props to the winner, & not act like total *******s then it's alright to me(Winky & Mayorga showed respect). If you think you won & you don't want to stand there & talk about why you lost then that's' cool with me, & if you talked so much **** before the fight that you don't want to stand there & give excuses or kiss ass then that's cool too. IMHO as long as you're not just being a **** about it, it's alright to just walk away, cool off & then make your statement, it's better then talking at the heat of the moment & ending up looking like an *******.

and you're telling me Wright didn't look like an ******* for storming out? He looked like a baby, and Vernon Forrest looked like the wuss Mayorga made him out to be. Storming out of the ring is detrimental to the way the world views you. Dan Rafael ripped Winky for doing it, and you gotta realize Rafael is the #1 source for boxing for casual fans because he runs ESPN's boxing coverage.

yup, I remember Lampley saying "and there goes a bloody, beaten, and broken Fernando Vargas" as Vargas made his way out almost crying as he went. looked really bad for Vargas.

Did he even win a single round? I never had seen the fight itself other then pictures and they were all of Dela Hoya destroying Vargas.

yah but Wright actually walked over to Taylors corner and gave him a hug and said "good fight" right after the fight. I dont think he was an ******* for not wanting to stick around for the post fight with Larry. As far as the Forrest incident...i dont remember it. Did he just storm out after the decision was made ? I usually dont have a problem with not wanting to stick around after the decision but a fighter should at least touch gloves with the other guy and there corner after a fight.

are you kidding? Vargas almost knocked De La Hoya through the ropes in the first round. He won at least 4 rounds in that fight. I think two of the judges had him winning at the time of the stoppage or even with Oscar. It's one of the best dramatic fights you'll ever see. I highly recommend you find a copy of it and the hype that led up to it. Just an awesome, awesome heated bout. One of the few times the beef between the fighters has been 100% real.

Wright acted like he was robbed, which is just laughable. Forrest was up on the corner with his hands raised and when they announced Mayorga the winner, he just walked out. Couldn't tell if he was disgusted or heartbroken. Either way, Mayorga turned him into the pansy that he claimed Forrest was. Broke my heart too, but hey, this is boxing. The strong survive.

What about Freitas vs. Casamayor? Joel ran out of the ring, literally. Anybody know if he was crying or just maybe fearful of a reaction from the crowd?

Yah Wright did act like he was robbed wich was not the case. Maybe he should have stuck around. With Forrest ...I'm pretty sure he was more heartbroken knowing that in the first fight Mayoraga made him look like a frightened little boy. Thats why he dissapeared for awhile,lol. The thing is had Forrest just boxed smart and stayed outside in the first fight he prolly could have won. GO figure...

Yeah Vargas was almost in tears, he wasn't thinking about his image to the world, he got the **** beat out of him(just like Mayorga), IMO as long as you go & show respect for your opponents victory then you don't have stand & answer questions(which I don't recall if Vargas did or not), it's just seems like a very emotional situation. As for Winky that frustration from a bout he knows he won, wether you agree or not, I personally think he won too, but it was close & like i said before if you don't want to answer questions about why you lost or gave up the last round(which in my opinion he didn't) then that's fine with me. So as long as your not being a **** and give respect to your opponent you dont have to do anything else.
