Comments Thread For: Nicholas Walters' Surrender Elicits Same Old Song and Dance

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Some things remain predictable. The sun rises in the east, it sets in the west and the New York Jets are irrelevant by December. Oh, and one other thing if a fighter bows out of a match with something less than a flat-lining EKG, the jackals on press row and beyond will pounce faster than fat men on free donuts...

Was that quote about fat men pouncing on donuts a shot at Dan Rafael? I didn't know these. I didn't know boxing writers did that lol

The writer of this article is a coward. Fitzimmons.

Lyle Fitzsimmons is entitled to his opinion and like everybody ....he thinks very highly of his opinion......but the fact is the markets will decide what happens to Walters....we as fans pay and watch the sport for the violence but sadly some in the sport (fans and fighters).want it to be about running,hugging and dancing....but the markets have decided just look at the ppv sales.....time is money and money is time....How bout them Cowboys????

The author will happily accept boxers quitting half-way through a fight from now on, will he? I can't believe what I'm reading. This is boxing ffs, you don't just decide to quit - you go down fighting.

i understand where the writer is coming from but it's not just basement dwelling hermits tossing **** in walters direction. he pretty much reiterated what mayweather says all the time, taking a beating is not cool. .
but..what if floyd had quit after round 2 against mosley? what if marquez decided it was futile to engage pacquiao after being put on his backside the first three minutes? what if ward would've folded after tasting power hes never felt before against the krusher?
i mean comebacks is what boxing is all about, it's why rocky will forever be the greatest boxing film ever, rocky was pretty much getting his skull rattled in every fight and managed to find a way..fans love that. as brutal as that sounds..lets not forget this is a brutal sport.

....and this was just a case of a fighter getting outclassed and clowned, not battered to a bloody pulp. this is roberto duran "no mas" 2016.

If Loma took my donuts, dis raisin-sized weaponry going to WAR. ECG flatline...or Boston Cremes, when donuts come into it, this warrior will never put a NO before MAS.

I'm confused, so is Dan Rafael pouncing on Walters or the free donuts? Or both?

Walters first and then the donuts

[fvanesbeck]

Walters first and then the donuts

Thanks for clearing that up. At any rate I don't think he'd be able to pounce very quickly.
