Any of you a bit depressed about Guerrero? Don't get me wrong. I love figs and his balls to wall technique so I was happy about that but watching Guerrero get beat so quickly and lose his fight plan so early really bummed it out. Not taking away anything from figs, love the guy, just sad to see the ghost being a ghost of his former self. I don't even think him sticking to his original plan of not going toe toe wouldn't have helped him.

For me it's harder when aguy suddenly doesn't have it. Guerrero has been declining for years. I think with improved health and longevity of careers we sometimes lose sight of how long things happen. He's won 2/7 in 5 years. 5 years is an eternity in boxing. For example I'm not sure SRLs first run before retirement was much more than that.

Edit-first portion of his career was 6 years 10 days. Had 7 fights after that.
