Choc never used injury as an excuse for losing a fight. Also many fighters have hand injuries, some going their entire career with bad hands. What 40 fight pro doesn't understand that it's a bad thing to go into a fight injured?
Back this statement up with facts. I suggest your problem is a failed lobotomy and anguish over an inverted *****.
The flu and lack of training facilities was why the feather-fisted Ottke knocked him out, according the The Mouth. I can't find anything on the internet quoting that, but I recall him saying he had to spar in his hotel room as he had no facilities or partners, and he also had the flu because he didn't take his vitamins. He was apparently carrying a broken rib when he beat Echols - he announced after the fight he had it. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/09/04/1062548912213.html Coincidentally, he had to postpone the originally scheduled Echols fight for a month due to...the flu! http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/08/05/1060064185870.html He conveniently slipped in front of a video camera - that was turned on!!! - during a training session, spraining his ankle, and that was why he lost to Siaca. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/05/05/1083635213439.html And his choice of opponent in Clavero was excused because of his near-fatal eye infection!!! http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22903441-5001023,00.html And just for some extra value, he done torn his bicep during this farce of a fight, giving him an ideal excuse for not fighting for another 6 months... Enough facts for you, ****stick? :yep
Similar timeline as Kessler, his fans are waiting for the day when he's 100% so the world can see true talent :yep
These all pale in comparisson to the beauties Kessler fans served up after the JC loss..."nervous energy..." :rofl:rofl:rofl
Heh, well as I've said before, most fighters come up with excuses for their losses, and Mundine, and even Green are no different to Kessler. I think it's interesting to take notice of a fighter straight after his loss. Imo, that is when they are at their most honest. It's only later down the track when they start finding excuses to use as a coping mechanism. Mundine has used flu, and an ankle injury as an excuse, but not on the night of the fight. Only afterwards. Right after the Siaca loss, he said that Siaca was just too strong, and he tried to mix it up with him but couldn't. Right after the Ottke fight....well, Right after the Kessler fight, he never used any excuses either, nor afterwards. Green was the same right after his 2nd loss with Beyer, and Mundine. But afterwards named excuses for both of them. Kessler was also the same right after the Calzaghe loss, yet later came up with excuses.
This is all true; I've noticed that as well; good post!:good (You can also see whether they really liked each other straight after the final bell - shake hands/embrace, etc. - it's all plain to see)
You have proved nothing more than your low IQ He carried a broken rib when he BEAT Echols. Postponing a fight due to flu is not the same as a poor performance or losing a fight He had sprained his ankle before the Siaca fight but never used it as an excuse. The choice of an opponent, again is not the same as a poor performance or losing a fight. So the simple facts are that he has never used injury as an excuse for losing a fight which was the issue..... now go away and shake some sense into that skull of yours by headbutting a brick wall.
