Excuses, Excuses, Excuses. BUT... Sometimes Excuses For A Loss Are Perfectly Valid.

Joseph Paker lost to Dillian Whyte due to a headbutt induced knockdown that changed the decision.

 

Klitschko destroyed David Haye's pinky

 

Manny against Morales I. Was moving up in weight and fought with a gash that was bleeding into his eye. Despite that only lost 115-113. Everyone is quick to say Morales was shot when Pac destroyed him, but bring up the advantages Morales had in the first fight and it's just excuses.

 

A boss of mine once told me the difference an excuse and a reason. He said,,"when you say it , it's an excuse . When I say it, it's a reason".
That's how most people on here see it too.

 

Kell Brook was clearly weight drained and had he not had to boil down to 147 following the defeat to GGG, he’d have UD Spence without a shadow of a doubt.

 

Personally, I never bought the "Brook was drained" narrative. He had shown stamina issues in previous fights as well. He always had a though time making 147, but I don't believe this was the fight where it finally took it's toll.

 

Martinez and Yamanaka both having to deal with Nery coming in a complete weightclass overweight.

 

**** man even a shot to the gills salido can still fight
