Some times it takes a long time to get over a loss. I won several state boxing titles in the early/mid 80's. When I was fighting for the title in 86 and lost I was so disappointed I never stepped into the ring again.
I was fighting the former Air Force national champ and was easily winning when for no reason the ref. gave me a standing 8 count, then 2 more while I was the one doing the a$$ kicking. It was so bad the whole crowd was booing each 8 count. Turned out the ref. was also his coach.
