Best fighter reactions after their first loss or ANY loss

[Froggystyle]

The first Hopkins Vs. Taylor fight, when Hopkins was raising his hand, smiling in victory, then the announcer said "and the NEW........," he's facial expression was priceless.

Camacho Jr. was a little biotch

[Mr. Nightmare]

Cant forget Morales flat out leaving the ring and speed walking to his dressing room. . . . . . .of course, its hard to blame him cuz he got jerked by the judges that night.

Can't remember the fighters names, but the loser could have won, but didn't. He was heavily favored, and the other guy basically ran the whole time, but did enough to get the win. After the fight, when the media was about to interview, the loser, sucker-punched the winner, KOing him.

Classless piece of shat! If anyone saw that fight, or knows the names, please let me know. The fight happened within the past five years, and I think it was at welter or Jr. middle.{Aired on Friday night Fights}

I believe that was that Butler dude, the creep that killed Max Kellerman's brother.

My personal favorite quote after his first loss was
Muhammad Ali's response after The Fight of the Century.


Reporter: Frazier said that you didn't want a rematch.

GOAT: Oh how wrong he is.

i remember when the fighter who lost the decision lamped the winner. i saw it on KOTV, he was in his corner with just his wraps on and when the other fighter came over to congratulate him, he punched him with a hell of a right cross. sparko. 2 black guys i think. its the taking part that counts, obviously.

Tyson, surprisingly, showed class after the Lewis defeat

That's the one that really springs to mind for me!

The best was the post fight interview for Klitschko-Mercer. Ray was thanking everyone and so on and Larry Merchant tried to interrupt him and Ray was like "He beat an old man, if he's happy about it that's great"

[ono]

Id say hands down....kostya after hatton beat him. The guy could barely walk yet he got up and told the crowd that ricky was the better man on the night and he was going to give ricky his phone number....what the fuck beats that.

Yeh after such a gruelling fight they both showed fantastic sportsmanship.....especialy for kostya to admit the better man won. Cool click Snakey.....I'm a huge hatton fan but Kostya made a great impression on me with that.

After Tyson-Holyfield 2, when everyone jumped in the ring, and Tyson punched the first 2 guys who entered. What an animal.

Or, after Golotta-Tyson, when someone threw a soda{what looked to be a 44oz cup that was full}, and it smashed against Golotta's face. That may have hurt more than the uppercut Tyson dropped him with.

Two tickets to fight-200$.....One 44oz soda-$1.49.....one fighter quitting, then wearing the soda-priceless.

This thread is an oldie, but a goodie.

How about after Golota lost to Tyson and in the interview suddenly Golota had a stutter and had forgotten half of his English. "I'm h-h-h-having very h-h-h-heavy thoughts..."

When Tyson lost to Lewis was fairly disturbing. Here you have a machine of destruction wiping a drop of blood off Lewis' face in an almost motherly fashion and then in the dressing room cradling his newborn baby. In years prior you would have assumed Mike was about to eat said baby (well he said as much).

I don't remember what he said, but I've never seen a fighter happier after losing a fight than Bruce Seldon. Mike hit him on the top of his head and he went down and was happy as a clam after it was over and done with. Came over and gave Mike a hug with a big ol' grin on his face. Don King's fro must have been on fire as he was thinking, "Chill out, man. At least walk with a limp!"

The best was Ruiz after the fight with Tua. He said, and I remember this, "Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z."
