    Default Oscar Larios announces retirement

    deserves a thread, very tough good fighter and if you just started following boxing a few years ago you might not realize how good he was for a while.

    Most well known for the Larios trilogy, the first one I believe if I remember correctly Larios was more well known but Izzy knocked him out in the first. The second was a great fight that Larios won and while it was a great fight Oscar definitely won, he gave Izzy Vazquez a bit of a beating even though he definitely took some in return. The third I just think Izzy was at a bit better position in his career, not to take anything away from Izzy.

    Thought he gave a good effort against Manny at a later stage in his career. Its easy to forget now but him and Manny was a big potential fight at 122 for a while and Oscar was just as highly thought of a champion then as Manny was. Obviously this is not news to a lot of people but some might only have seen him when he was past it. Bit odd how you remember things but I remember an interview with Roach where he talked about a possible fight between the two and how he was worried about Oscar running Manny into a right.

    Fought a load of guys, Wayne McCullough being another recognizable name. Got hurt bad against Linares and fought on and eventually lost for the final time (I guess, who knows in boxing) to Takahiro Aoh. I know some people were worried about him fighting on way too long at this point. Anyway, finishes with a 63-7 mark with 39 KO's.
