Honestly. I like him, but he has nothing for anyone in the sport right now, except maybe a chin with a bullseye painted on it. A lot of people praised him for his gutsy performance against Cintron. I didn't, if only because I kind of thought this guy's inability to keep his hands up was just a whole lotta trouble careerwise.But at some point I think you have to distinguish "gutsy" from "suicidal."  Tsurkan was just nailing him over and over with these sloppy-but-sort-of-hard hooks, and Feliciano was just mechanically marching right into them, literally EATING them like ice cream cones. He is dangerous to himself, period.Jesse - there is other work for you out there. Stop before it's too late, buddy.Editor's Addition by Scott:I was coming on just now to say the exact same thing. I missed the fight live but watched it today.Look, I'm all for letting grown men do what they wish within the law. Feliciano routinely getting his brain sloshed around is within the law. But it's not enjoyable to watch at all. He deserves praise for having a lot of guts and being very tough. But you know what that praise and those guts and that toughness are going to get him? Brain damage. That's it.The guy can't fight back. Someone that cares about him should really talk to him about whether or not he should continue fighting. He gets TV fights because he allows action to happen every second of every fight. But he's getting destroyed out there. It's not fun viewing. It's just sort of gruesome at this point.He's 15-8-3. Vast riches do not await Jesse Feliciano. He is by all accounts a nice guy, and there is plenty of work in boxing that won't require him getting his face punched in anymore.Respect his toughness, respect his heart, respect Jesse Feliciano. But I agree -- he needs to get out before something bad happens.
