So we all know the boxing ring is the circle of truth. Where did you see certain fighters want to quit or retire for good after the outcome of a fight?
1) buster Douglas, showed up tubby for the holyfield match and basically laid down for the payday. This way of undiscipline caused him to balloon up to 370 plus and fall into a coma from diabetes. Fact check: he is alright now but he got his weight down by boxing.
2) Ike ibeabuchi. This case seems different. He slammed into a brick wall injuring cripally his son in a car accident. The suits at HBO were worried how could they get a guy that popular who seems capable and willing to kill a man. It was the first time they seen it. He suffered from schizophrenia.
3) mike Tyson after the Marvin Frazier bout as he lay shrunken against the ropes Tyson picked up his crumpled body to save him after a beatdown in which he replied "I wanted to quit boxing. I hit him so hard" iron mike was just doing his job but he felt sorry.
4) fast forward to cotto mayorga: in the eleventh or the twelve they both exchanged hooks. Mayorga appeared to have shattered his collarbone. He is no wus, not the best fighter, but street tough. He could take a beating etc. But this one time he was SCARED looking to the ref to stop it. I felt concerned for his health Freal.
Oh and BTW the Ike fight that depleted him could possibly been the tua fight taking bombs from a young slugger all night causing maybe injury. His story is Neverending though.
