What's that got to do with anything especially his retirement?

what does his retirement have to do with him ever not fighting again ? He will be back, as sure as Arnold came back (to terminate) he will return. Return rested and with more conviction then ever, dont mean he will win when steps back in the ring but resting has a way of letting people see things dif with time. Most boxer most all boxers do come back for a second shot nothing new or bad about it...................will anyone care is the real question some might not even know or care he has left the game......

Man, this is crazy! I never thought he would go there. It goes to show you we often don't know what's really happening inside a boxer's head. May God Bless Joshua Franco, and hopefully he enjoys his retirement.

Yes until he come out of retirement in a short while....... As soon as he is no longer tiered of boxing he will fight again. Not a sin for a fighter to re-tire get some new tread on his tires and go at it again. Majoirity do and those that retire directly after a fight usually come back for the second half of there boxing career's.

I don't know dude, I think he's retiring for good. He seems very determined and set forth with his decision.

He will be a minority if he stays stopped fighting. We will see give it eight or nine weeks and we will see. What did you think of the Showtime card this weekend ?

Very controversial, but I agree with the ref stoppage, J-Rock was receiving a lot of punishment.

Yea it was not too controveersail to me, what was a bit much was not having the ref look after the fighter in the 115 bout. Ref should have Bornea ear looked at in the ring by the doctor n the eyes. Have the ref stop the fight and have the damn doctor look at it right after the bell rings and the next round starts. Then you know it gives warning to the corner and the fighter this is not going to last if your man can not show something more. The guy had a busted cheek bone, or orbital crack and the ear falling off. I love blood, i enjoy a good beat down but make the tone of the fight more about looking out for the fighter---- know what i am saying. So many smoke screens in boxing that J-Rock was not early stoppage he was stunned and stiff by the time they stopped it his cornerman was outta line not the ref. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just trying to sell newspapers........If anyone else would have behaved that way his corner man did he would have caught hell from the pods and scribes but his is part mouth pc and part writter too so he gets a pass....................just my thoughts on the fights.
