Boxing fans know that a career can be made by one fight. One solid left hook to the chin can send an up-and-comer into superstar status overnight.
However, losing a fight with such implications does exactly the opposite, and all boxers could watch their 15 minutes fade away as quickly as the blackness creeps into their eyes while they lay on the mat in the ring.
It would make a great story: to find on the street a former up-and-coming boxer whose moment of glory was stripped by one punch, a once-upon-a-time boxer who has had to resort to digging through the trash and begging for money as a result of the short career that boxing often demands: only the best fight for many years.
