Boxing fans have REDICULOUSLY high standards for the athletes and this is a sport where losing is less acceptable than in any other. People see weakness and are quick to jump on a fighter and talk crap about them. Its a crappy part of the sport. It seems like sportswriters/casters are just itching to bury guys when they show any bit of weakness (Paulie Malignaggi just recently as well).

To hell with that. Molitor is an extremely skilled individual, anyone who knows anything about boxing can plainly see that, regardless of compedition. Remember everyone wrote off Wlad when he got blown out by Sanders, saying he was a fraud and he got his high ranking from politics or because he was white, and we saw how he overcame that setback (and the Brewster one). Anyone who says Molitor's career is over is a jack@ss. Steve will be back and IMO better because of this loss.
