Rey Boom Boom is back!

why is it that when you're a hyped fighter and you lose, you get written off quickly by the same people who hyped you in the first place? RB should be able to get back on his feet and become a world champion someday. fighters who fight will have a greater chance of getting KO'ed than those who simply choose to hit and run. if pacman became a champion after getting ko'ed, mind you, it was a lowblow that was called a KO, then there is no reason for RB not to become one as well.

It's not that Rey lost. It's the way he lost.

lots of fighters lost in a similar fashion. mosley lost to forest almost the same way. cintron if im not wrong got ko'ed as well. barerra lost to jr jones twice. im pretty sure a lot of the other guys here can add to my list. he will be back. maybe not overnight but he will be world champion someday

None of the guys you mentioned were knocked out in the first round. Bautista had questions about his chin coming in. And those questions were answered. He has no chin. He's a skilled fighter no doubt. But his chin will always hold him back. Not to mention his confidence. He considered retiring after the loss. So it's obvious he's not 100% sure about himself

do you have to ko'ed in the first round to lose confidence? anybody could lose confidence after the 1st loss of career. heck tito trinidad retired after he lost to hopkins yet he came back and whopped mayorgas arse. now hes in a quest in fighting rjj. RB's chin was a given. we all know he has glass there somewhere. he's not the only one who has a fragile chin that got knocked down in the first round.
