"After my knee surgery, I need to have an elbow surgery. I herewith finish my career." Besides the injuries, YPH is also financially knocked out. He has to pay tax debts and has to pay alimonies, which he can't afford. Source: http://www.bild.de/sport/mehr-sport/yoan-pablo-hernandez/beendet-seine-karriere-42733606.bild.html
Should have went in there with the injuries anyway. Even if he took the loss. He'd still get a retirement cheque. And it could have been a large one if he cashed out against one of the Russians. What a fool.
Sad to see him go, I think I was in the extreme minority in that I really enjoyed his fights. Really good boxer. I still think he'll come back. Especially if he needs money badly. Inb4 everyone says "lol ducking everyone else lol lol lol lol good riddance ***it".
I got no sympathy for a man who squandered his chance the way he did. He could have fought better competition, made bigger paydays. He could have fought more than once a year instead of sitting on a title. Good riddance. Maybe, he'll be more ambitious in his second career.
he should have fought Diablo or Lebedev when he still could, it would have made him much more money than fights with Troy Ross or Firat Arslan
Now that he's retired, and Huck and Wlod have been beaten, maybe we'll finally see a unification in that division.
If nobody ever says it, the preposition is rendered meaningless. Before has to be relative to something.
Anyway, damn. Best for the division that he isn't champ anymore but this is worse than anyone deserves.
Sad to hear this, but this is Usyk's division anyways. It was only a matter of time until Usyk beats him bad. I liked YPH :yep, damn..:-(
