British Boxer retires after 300 fights

Britain's Biggest Loser Fights The Good (and Not-So-Good) Fight - WSJ.com

Just wow. Even at the mininum four rounds, that's over 1200 rounds (he was KO'd only ten times in his career). that's 60 hours of his life in the ring.

Glad he won his final fight, to finish at 44-256.

Edit: The article states that his final round, round 4, was round 1,745 in his career. that's 5250 minutes in the ring or so. Wow.

I don't trust retirements after FALVRAY. He'll be back.

his wife looks like she went a few too many rounds too.

What wife? The other person in the picture is his opponent. His long time "girlfriend" is in a slide show picture but she's clearly a man too.
