Quintana quit in the corner: translation here!

Corner: "Dame un round mas." (Give me one more round.) Quintana: "Estoy jodio. Estoy matao. No puedo mas." (I'm fucked up. I'm dead. I can't go on.) There you have it, Quintana quit in his corner right before Smoger called it off. You can hear him say this, very clearly, when Showtime shows the corner action the second time, right after the fight is stopped. Where are all those Quintana nut-huggers now?

Abe Attell is right. Smoger is one of the top 5 refs out there. I still think Raul Caiz, Sr. and Raul Caiz, Jr. are two of the best, if not the best out there. I really like Raul Caiz, Sr. and think he is the best ref. My top 5 refs: 1. Caiz, Sr. 2. Caiz, Jr. 3. Smoger 4. Tony Weeks 5. Benjy Esteves I hate Drakulich, Bayless, and Nady.

Quintana was really hurt. If he would have gone out one more round he could have been seriously hurt.

First: I would like to say that Steve Smoger should be getting a lot of respect from fight fans because he is a great ref...I am not one that cares to much about refs, especially in others sports because they think they are stars as well and like to be in control, but Smoger is very fair, and will either give you a chance to fight on or knows when to call the fight. Second: Fuck a lot of "Trainers/Corner people"...I have seen many fights that should of been stopped, with either the fighter having been beaten to a pulp but wants to still go on so the corner allows it, or the fighter has been beaten so badly the he even knows the fight should be stopped, yet the corner doesn't ever stop it.

I'm not doing it to shit on Quintana. I'm posting this to exalt Cotto's greatnes. Cotto is a beast and about half of the people out there picked Quintana to school Cotto. They couldn't have been more wrong.

Yeah, it seemed that his corner was ignoring the obvious and instead of standing in for him and throwing in the towel, they made him come out and quit. It was like Smoger said: His corner wanted to keep fighting. I can understand motivating your fighter, but in this case "one more round" could have got him seriously injured.

what's even worse is that his corner was calling him a "culero" for not going out one more round.....i was disgusted by that....a corner should stand behind their fighter no matter what.....if he say's he's had enough so be it.....
