Anthony Thompson pulls out of the Brewer rematch, says he is retired!

In a weird turn of events. Anthony "The Messenger" Thompson pulled out of his fight against Grady Brewer with less than a week to go saying he is retiring from boxing. Speculation has run rampant from an eye injury to not wanting the fight Brewer to just no longer being motivated to fight anymore. 

Attempts to reach Team Thompson were unsuccessful. Bernard Fernandez put together an article on the topic for the Philly Daily News http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/columnists/20090901_Bernard_Fernandez__Thompson_s_retirement_from_boxing_draws_criticism.html 

Have we seen the last of The Messenger"? Stay tuned...
