    Props to Leo for this. Good thing he isn’t with top rank. He’d claim a shoulder injury was the reason for the loss.

    Wilder could learn a lot from a real champion like Leo.

      I don't think LSC let anyone down on that showing; he was the underdog and in with a good, younger, stronger, harder hitting champion.

      Not sure if there's anything left for LSC to do but question whether his pride will let him go out on a ko loss, even though it might be the wisest decision.

        It is hard to make a decision after such loss. He is doing the right thing in taking time off and see what he thinks about it in the near future.

        Other fighters like him had the same fate and came back with some success. I don't think that he is shot by any means.

          No shame to the man. Go back down, fight your high-volume fast-paced fight and be champ again

            I wouldn't be mad at a retirement. Leo has done his thing.

              Good, take all the time before you decide.

                These words reveal that, mentally speaking, he already retired.

                Good for Leo if he resists the urge to come back. To paraphrase a famous poet, "it's not in his guts anymore".

                  Even more respect for Leo, no excuses and he came to fight Tank and not just survive

                  Leo has done great for himself and I'm sure this was a huge Payday for him so he can take time off and enjoy that at least
