Yeah, its a tough thing to deal with. He will need to take a couple of easy fights to get some of his confidence back if he continues, but recovering all of his confidence is unlikely so late in his career. Hes has a great career though. He got got caught, it happens.
respect to montiel for been honist alot of fighters would of claims it was alucky shot n they would of won if the fight went on ect...
Montiel has a great supporting cast and most importantly, he's level headed, perhaps a few more fights at the next level and then coaching...he will have accomplish more than most of us can aspire to in a lifetime.
thats was a completly different punch from pac hatton. Montiel done great getin up from that, but the puch was a check hook, to the side of his head. Pacs on Hatton was a left over the top meeting Hattons chin, a elephant would have stayed down from that
Montiel is class act. It takes courage to admit getting hurt. Vic D. didn't admit he's hurt after ND koed him (in the interview after the fight and in front of Donaire.)
Thank god we've finally found a boxer that can admit they were hurt. Some of the comments made by boxers who hit the canvas and then are like nar i wasnt hurt:dead Marquez is the worst offender.
I honestly thought the stoppage was 1 punch too soon. he did take 2 glancing punches after he got up and took them well. The third one he got his hands up to bloack and reacted as soon as the ref jumped in. I cant help but think what would have happened had the ref not stepped in.
You mad cause a pinoy beat a mexican? I'm not pinoy but you seem to despise them. Hope they keep humbling you.
