BoztheMadman Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 There are some boxers who looked good earlier and were headed somewhere but then suddenly disappeared and were inactive for a longer time, before returning and having to start all over again because the inactivity did them in. One such boxer I know of is Gabor Veto, the Hungarian super lightweight. In 2012 he looked all set to enter the big scene as he knocked out guys like Justin Juuko and Michael Kizza but then, for reasons unknown to me, he went missing until 2016. Since then he's had 3 fights and had to struggle to beat a journeyman by MD6 in the first. Veto is still 29 but has lost so much valuable time and so far his comeback hasn't been too impressive. One other, older fighter I know if is Rolando Reyes. A very promising lightweight who in 2009 sensationally stopped Julio Diaz in 5, only to disappear completely since then. In 2012 he gave an interview where he said he was working on a comeback but nothing has happened since then. He also stopped Stevie Johnston and knocked out John Brown in 1, the only one who has done that to Brown. Truly a shame. I think he had managerial issues, as well as injuries.

pittbox Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Re: Fighters that disappeared from the radar? Alexander Frenkel was one of those Sauerland fighters that were actually interesting to watch. Probably had some mental issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repsac Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Re: Fighters that disappeared from the radar? Julian Ramirez. He was 16-0 with 8KO's when he stepped into the ring to fight Abraham Lopez. This was the opening bout on the HBO card for Salido vs Vargas in 2016. Ramirez lost a decision in a fight IMO he won on my card. Since then he's disappeared completely and hasn't fought since. Lopez was stopped 2 fights later.

Cableaddict Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Re: Fighters that disappeared from the radar? Most fighters that signed with Al Haymon. I swear, somewhere between Puerto Rico & the east coast of the USA, is an area known as "The PBC Triangle." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Re: Fighters that disappeared from the radar? --- Whole bunch of fighters who signed with DKing were never heard from again. King is boxing's death sentence these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoztheMadman Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Re: Fighters that disappeared from the radar? And there was the very good and exciting Pier Olivier Cote...seemed to be the new wrecking king of the 140 division and then they say he got mental problems. Such a shame.
