    Kid's only 28? Seems like he's been around forever.

    Props to him for making this tough call. If the motivation ain't there it's pointless to continue. Hope he sticks to it.

    Not getting fights or getting robbed when you get a fight is just too much.

    I can see why he has quit.

    Retiring from real boxing wouldn't necessarily mean he isn't still doing gimmicky stunts like BKB. :good

    28?

    Does he have Nigerian roots or something?
    Well, I wish him the best for the rest of life.

    True,

    I hope they train as if these fights are not a gimmick, or things could get ugly

    You are going to check that out, huh? If there were no real boxing on tonight I might be a little curious but the Showtime card is looking too good to bother juggling with any trifling ****.
