Victor Ramirez Retires From Boxing, Won't Return After KO Loss

[Ruthless-RKO]

With only a few days left in the year, two-time cruiserweight world champion Victor Emilio Ramirez of Argentina has announced his retirement from boxing at the age of 32.

Known as the Tyson of Abasto, the boxer closed out his career with a record of 22 wins (with 17 knockouts), 3 losses and 1 draw.

The reason for the retirement? Ramirez is physically and mentally burned out and no longer has the motivation to put in the long hours in the gym.

"I do not want to come back to the ring to fight. I got tired of training and having to lose weight. No more," Ramirez said.

Although he was not competing between 2009 and 2013 and then made a comeback, this time his departure from the sport seems definitive.

In May of this year, Ramirez traveled over to Moscow and faced WBA champion Denis Lebedev in a unification. Things did not go as planned, with Lebedev blowing him out in two rounds. The loss now stands as the final fight of Ramirez's career.

If your heart isn't 100% in the sport then it's the right time to retire. Boxing is one sport you need to be 100% concentrating on or else you will be putting your health at risk.

I think the last KO, was the icing for his career.

Not true. But it sounds good to regular people.

Many people who are great at things, actually hate those things, and put in much less than 100% effort.
Sorry worker bees.
