was ray mancini the same fighter after the Deuk Koo Kim fight

No, not in the least. He became much more tentative.

 

Nopes . . . definitely not the same . . . his fights after that debacle should clearly show the difference.

 

i remember being a little kid and my dad telling me the story of the fight and him telling me about how mancini was never the same

 

How could he be?

 

No not at all. For that matter, neither was Gabe Ruelas after he had the same experience with his fight against Jimmy Garcia.

 

Stuff like that can really mess with your mental game in a fight. Ending another mans life, is nothing easy to deal with i would imagine.

 

Not only did Ray have a big heart....he had a big conscience.
He was no longer the same fighter.

 

He changed for sure.

 

Watch Ray against the great Alexis Arguello, and then watch him post Kim. There's your answer.

 

no, he was hesistant to throw his right hook
