      - Hamed lost much of his speed and reflexes long before the MAB fight, it just took such a great fighter to show us that Hamed had little left.
      Hamed's decline was unusual, tho. Most fighters start tailing off in their early thirties. Hamed's form collapsed arguably before his physical peak.

      Going into the MAB fight fans had little reason to think he was finished. His mixed form in the two previous bouts could be attributed to the dips in performance all fighters go through at some point. Only those on the inside knew he'd lost all motivation and was no longer turning up to train.

        Yeah Juanma was a young killer with some skills and in no time at all he he was a battle worn punchbag with a terrible chin and zero balance, what a shame he looked like being in some truly great ones and now its all over while he's still so young

        Another would be Fernando Vargas post Tito, he just never recovered fully from that though he did still put in a couple of good shifts
