This wasn't TNT's best fight but, that doesn't mean he isn't still a champ. Many fighters would kill to have a record like his, and just because he has a loss doesn't mean he can't ever win again. Pryor did well and kept up his side of the fight, TNT will be back. We must take into consideration TNT didn't have much preparation time for this fight which may have hindered his performance. Pryor did well and towards the end it became a close match between the too. Best of luck to you both, the sport of boxing should learn to be less judgmental just because someone loses one fight doesn't mean they're a loser, example Paul Williams was knocked out by Sergio Martinez but that doesn't mean he's not still a champ.
