Why did Crisanto Espana retire?

I have always wondered the same thing. The fight with Quartey was a classic. Total back and forth war. I thought Espana was going to win. It was probably Quartey's best performance. This was all pre-internet so I had to get a lot of my results from the "Flash" newsletter back then. I believe Espana did fight (and win) one more time after Quartey. Although he was Venezuelan, he fought out of Ireland. Not always the best place to keep your career going on the international level. Just ask Mike Perez. Hopefully, he was successful in another line of work. He was a ferocious fighter.

 

Good question, I'd be interested in finding out why as well

 

He has a twitter account-if you can read Spanish.

 

I can read Spanish but I don't use twitter.

 

Maybe I should take the plunge.

 

I thought I read it was a detached retina....
