    Padilla's only loss. A tko loss in the 2nd round. Was the stoppage legit?

    I've never seen it but I've read Padilla's comments. Evidently he was horrendously weight drained for that one. I remember he said he was dehydrated and his urine was dark yellow to the point of almost being brown right up before the fight.

    Discpline was a big issue for Padilla, and his yoyoing weight was the reason why he burned out and took a retirement/sabbatical from the sport. Eventually his life outside the ring stabilized under the calming influence of his wife and he went on his epic overachieving sprint before an injury sent him into a permanent retirement.

    While I'm usually skeptical of postfight excuses this one rings true. I think we can agree that a prime Padilla handles Prim without a lot of trouble.
