yep I agree with you, at the 85:00 mark on that clip... JCC finally realized he was just humilliating himself by continuing fighting way past his prime. He knew he should have stopped sooner, but he kept fighting and his last professional fight was an embarrasement.
tried to add and it got messed up.
Original post with addition:
People change over time. When you are not in your prime, at your best, you are more likely to do things that are not usual with your prime self...like "quit."
I don't think there is anything wrong with stopping a fight knowing the fighter has had enough and cannot win...especially if he is past his prime, shot, and OLD.
But I would rather a fighter know when it is time to hang them up which he should start thinking about as soon as he starts to slide from his prime...even though it gets tricky because a fighter might not see it, and/or it might not be healthy for a fighter to know it...although maybe it is better because knowing you are declining you can adjust to your declining attributes and still win. Best is to save your money and retire on top.
Bottom Line: that wasn't the same fighter we all came to know.

yeah its the one with Diego Luna.
We have it on DVD, when we watched it we were drunk as shit and that last scene says it all..
when they go to the locker room and Chavez starts crying. For the haters, yeah "no mas", "Chavez sucks" and all that BS...
For true fans, we understand Chavez.. He was in heaven, he was a god, a hero... and he fell all the way down. It was over. I would of cried too.
