Maybe Junior, like a lot of kids, was trying to please his dad. Since his passing maybe Junior is making decisions solely for himself. Good luck to him.

Indeed Junior Fa is an absolute Gentleman a real gent at 6’5 250lbs & he was a decent amateur heavyweight & in his professional career at least he can say he went 12 Rounds with a former World Heavyweight Champ in Joseph Parker & gave a good account of himself only lost a close decision in February 2021. The biggest low was getting bombed out by Lucas ‘Big Daddy’ Browne a 6’4 260lbs crude heavy hitter in the very 1st Round &who’s best days are behind him & the 7th Round TKO loss to Frank Sanchez is no real shame Junior Fa good technical boxer who didn’t pack much power but a decent stylist all the same so good luck to him a good guy.

He's doing the right thing. It's very bizarre to live a professional life that way. go to work and find ways to hurt people. In amateur boxing he can see it differently where 'tag' is far more the objective (at least, it has been) and maybe early pro where fights can get stopped sooner and so on until you start seeing what happens to Lucas Browne, Makmudov, Fa at a level where they are taking life-threatening shots, they are so evenly matched that nobody goes quickly and both get brutally hammered.

I support him quitting, but I wish he would be honest about it. Him not wanting to inflict violence on someone is obviously bs. He quit because he realized he wasn't good enough and didn't want to be knocked senseless for a living without ever reaching those big paydays. Fair play to him and best of luck going forward.

Yeah good decision by Jr Fa, i had a feeling he was going to get hurt as the away fighter gainst Makmudhov. Fa is a well spoken guy and could be a boxing TV commentator or analyst, but if not into boxing anymore thats not for him...good luck for the future in whatever he choose to do.

@boxingredemption3856 Ай бұрын

Honestly, if Junior hadn't suffered severe knockouts in his last two fights, he might have continued. But the talk about not wanting to train to hurt someone and avoiding violence would have been more credible if he had quit after a win or if he had injured someone. However, he made the right call to retire due to health concerns. Further blows to the head would have been extremely risky, given the toll his last two fights took on him. Retiring is a wise decision for him to prioritize his health and well being, and there's no shame in that.

Tbh I think the real reason he quit boxing is because he realises he doesn't have what it takes to fight at a high level. The money wasn't worth the playoff and the risk and reward just wasn't there... Maybe I'm wrong but even if I'm right, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Anyone who trains and gets in the ring deserves the upmost respect.

@2seven4dawson85 Ай бұрын

Tbh...There is no way he would be talking like this had knocked out Lucas brown and Sanchez. The starting point of this realization that he wasnt as good as he thought he was, is when he got kod by oldman browne. Getting knocked by Sanchez just confirmed it. Good on him though cause i agree with him in the sense that boxing is the hurt game, and it aint fir everybody. Good luck for the future Toko.

@NyQuilDonut Ай бұрын

I don't totally buy this reasoning. He's probably concerned with himself getting hurt, but is likely too prideful to be honest. It's just interesting that he would say he doesn't want to hurt people after he lost by stoppage in his last fight, and his next fight was gonna be against a heavy puncher who would've likely stopped him. If Fa were undefeated would he be leaving the sport? I doubt it.
