Only in boxing can a fighter lose to another professional and be called exposed, bum, or hype job. If a fighter loses it just means he lost to the better man that night.
It all depends on how you lose and who you lose to. David Price was exposed against Thompson. Cunningham was not exposed against Fury.
On here there's as much chance of someone being KO'd and not being slaughtered for having a glass jaw.
Depends on the hype surrounding and how the loss happened. Unfortunately pretty much every fighter on a winning streak is currently over hyped.
Depends. If an up and comer is hyped like hell and then is shown to be not "all that," then that is certainly being "exposed." And it doesn't have to happen only when a fighter loses, either. Take Michael Grant. Back in the 90s, this guy, who was Bill Cayton's "next big thing" after Tyson, was all over the cover of boxing mags, being hyped at the "next HW champ" and such. Some of us had a lot of suspicion about his ability, as he was a guy who started boxing late. In particular, I thought he might have some shaky whiskers. Then, he faced his first real test in Golota and ending up hitting the canvas, while escaping with a victory. To me, that's when he was really exposed. Of course, Lewis later finished the job. But he didn't lose when he was initially exposed as having a glass jaw.
Yeah. See Bradley vs Provodnikov, tough tough fight. I wouldn't say either of them got exposed. Maybe Bradley got exposed for his Holyfield-esque brawling mentality, but we already knew that.
