Comments Thread For: Tumor Should've Made Sammy Vasquez Pull Out of Felix Diaz Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Keith Idec - Sammy Vasquez called 911. The Army veteran didn't know what was wrong one day late last spring at his Colorado home.

Pointless article!!
First, they tried to rob Diaz of victory by calling it a draw, until someone decided the math on the scorecard was wrong.
Now we have all this excuses.
So he is now fit and ready and the opponent is? Collazo!!

I guess that is how you "fast track" someone to a shot at the title.

Collazo did fight Thurman in his last out and he was competitive, including hurting Thurman bad to the body. Collazo is still young, in his mid thirties

That **** wasn't competitive. Plus Thurman had an injured left hand. One good body shot doesn't make the fight competitive and Collazo quit on the stool.

Stupidest article ever written. Typical justification for a VET....He wasn't **** as a soldier and he isn't **** as a boxer...The author of this articles is just trying to throw some make up on sammy. He is no better than Soto -Karras...hope collazo knocks him out and he falls in parade rest.

I am an active duty soldier ass hat
.I just know the "special treatment " Vets get and at times it's unwarranted, like this article. He had a ****ing tumor why fight an Olympian? ?It's hogwash. .they are trying to boost his rep, I mean how great would it be to pitch the American people the success story of a former soldier becoming or potentially becoming a world champ??A ****ING TUMOR, NOT A CYST. Think about hoe ridiculous that sounds. .it's on par with the pacnuts shoulder excuse..Be objective and don't thank me for fighting for you to have the freedom to call me "the 'dregs' of society. " lol..lol!!!!!

Is it really an excuse if he knew about it but didn't do anything about it?
