But why did he retire ? i heard he used to spar with Shane Mosley, but he was cracking little fighter with an unreal workrate. And looked like he could of made many title defense at 140 so why did he retire ?

That was the problem. Suffered a brain injury after a sparring session with Mosley. And was advised to retire. Sucks for him cuz he was just starting to get noticed. Only fighter to ever stop Juan La Porte

Thats a shame i loved his fighting style, his workrate is probably one of the best i've ever seen only Aaron Pryor, Troy Dorsey, could compete with his unreal workrate.
