2024 Olympian Delicious Orie (1-0) RETIRES

Saw him fight in the Olympics...... He won't be missed honestly. I respect going after something more meaningful to him. Hate seeing fighters keep going because of the people behind them, and not for themselves.

 

I agree with you. I respect all the fighters but they owe us nothing and they are free to chose a safer path. Everyone that took a jab in the nose understand that

 

Agree

He was a late starter and obviously got into it because he had the ego/genetic potential but very quickly found his ceiling and realised he didn't have the makings of whatever his ego tricked him into believing.

 

You’re being deliberately obtuse.

How many fights did George Foreman have before he was considered elite?

Every fighter treads a different path.

Now run along and don’t come back until you have something constructive to contribute.

 

He was a standout exceptional case of fast starter. He won olympic gold within what, 2 years of first putting on a pair of gloves?

That is NOT normal. That is not REMOTELY normal. He was a quick learner helped by his particular set of genes. If you naturally can generate big power with anything you throw with either hand and if you're bigger than average for your era with a decent reach, you do get a quick start off just learning solid fundamentals.

That isn't most guys.

 

Neither is Fabio, nor any of the other Brit "prospects".

 

Itauma is a far better finisher than both of them or any other fighter that is his age currently.

 

We don’t know that either. All he’s done so far is crush cans.

But as I said, every fighter treads a different path.
