It's not a sparring match. You can't just quit when ya get scared. It's slap to boxing. What did he think he was doing getting in the ring in the first place vs the pilsbury dough boy?
Lou dibella is a fecking ******* and peice of ****, why any boxer would sign for him is a mystery. There is one boxer who is currently in a coma fighting for his life because he did not quit or know when to stop and he comes out with this **** like he's some slave master. What Tor Hamer did last night was unprofessional and showed no fighting heart but in the end it's his decision and probably the last fight he'll ever take part in boxing. He is an educated young man who has displayed some talent in a boxing ring but is obviously not willing to sacrifice his health to get to the top...we as paying fans have the right to be critical but FFS a promoter should show some dignity and respect for his fighter instead of treating them like peices of meat!
Kirk, what do you think about, Andy as a fighter? Fun to watch..?! put him there with arreola and we have a war! They two not the most pretty boys there with those beer bellies but man they can fight for sure.
Very well said. He did start to take a beating in the 3rd, maybe it was that moment when he finally decided boxing wasn't for him. Let's not **** on him for pulling out of a fight or taking away his purse as we're not in there taking the punches.
Well, being as it's in China there is probably no protocol. But if a purse is withheld in Nevada (and presumably in other states and places with established oversight), the promoter must transfer the amount of the purse to the commission. The commission then decides what the penalty is, but the monies are not returned to the promoter -- it is in the way of a fine and would go into the commission's coffers. Simply put, the promoter doesn't get to keep the money if a fighter's purse is withheld for whatever reason.
It was a horrible fight with 2 out shape guys. The entire under card was bad! For $70 you would expect a little more in the way of undercards. Sorry spectacle really. Tor Hamer needs to go to the land of Oz and get a heart or get a job as a Walmart greeter.
theres a difference between what happen to the guy in the coma from an all out war, to a guy like Hammer quitting after 3 rounds before he even got touched up. and its his second time doing that.....not sure what you are crying about
He deserved to get dumped for doing this TWICE now but not like that. DiBella doesnt have to behave like your typical tweeting teen. He could have been a bit more professional.
You're fighting on HBO PPV, on the undercard of living legend Pacquaio, and you quit after three rounds even though you probably won the first two rounds? Crazy.
Same exact thing happened on national terrestrial (network) broadcast television, when his early momentum faded and Glazkov started to come on. Hamer perplexes a lot of people, but if you know what the deal is with him it's pretty straightforward. It seems confusing to many that he runs so hot and cold, and was able to breeze through a relatively decent Prizefighter field and even shut out Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson (as much as you can have a shutout in a three-rounder) and later obliterate fringe contender Kertson Manswell in a single round, which only Deontay Wilder has been able to do although Manswell has been in with many top heavies...yet lost to Kelvin Price and literally walked away from Glazkov and Ruiz. It really isn't that strange when you look beneath the surface. He is a front-runner and fair-weather competitor. Kingpin starts typically very slow and was never cut out for the Prizefighter format. Hamer basically had jabbed his face in for nine minutes before he even woke up and decided to rev the engine. As for Manswell, he is a huge puncher but essentially just a dumb brute and Hamer figured "well let me take it to him early and just overwhelm him using shock & awe blitzkrieg tactics", which is how you deal with that kind of guy so he can't stick around to become dangerous. ANY time Hamer finds the going has gotten tough, he gets the F out. With Price, he only shut down mentally and foreshadowed the literal quit-jobs he would later pull - but in all three losses he started well and then found "Oh, wait - no. This is going to be hard. The guy in the other corner is talented and determined." Once that knowledge registers, his passion dissipates altogether. He wants nothing unless it comes very easy....which the entire Prizefighter tournament did, which the Manswell TKO1 did, which virtually all his W's did. When there is no adversity, he thrives. When there is even a shred, he is beaten. Some guys love a challenge and box for that reason. Hamer would rather be skinned alive than challenged in any way.
