    Starting with that shitty Italian boxer who was a giant coward. She should be banned from boxing in the Olympics since this is a habit of hers. Basic decency and sportsmanship should be required.

      Surrendering is part of the rules, why are you blowing on hate, exactly?

      Boxing is a combat sport. While she is a fucking idiot for suggesting anything was incorrect, if there is anything she is it’s not a coward.

      She is just not very good at boxing. She got beat handily by a woman, and a woman that will likely go pro and absolutely dominate for as long as she wants.

        She didn’t suggest anything was incorrect. She literally said that she is nobody to judge the match and that she gave up due to pain.

        “Europeans”, a notoriously homogeneous class of people, with a sample of size of 1.

        Well, that’s uncalled for… I can show you American MMA fighters saying/doing some pretty fucked up things, but it wouldn’t really be fair to make such a statement about Americans, would it?

        EDIT: Just to give an example, here and here is a (at the time) UFC champ, who suffered precisely 0 consequences for any of this.

        As a general rule, people who pursue fighting as a career are typically not great people.
