Would you or wouldn't you?

Without thinking twice. Thats what FUKING CUTMEN ARE FOR!!! You behave like a fighter. Like a goddamn professional, not like a fuking chump. Cutmen are cutmen. Not neurologists or opthamologists. Nate is a passionate guy. As he's stated, he had his belts stripped and $400,000 taken out of his pocket in his past two fights. Would you sit back and listen to them declare a TKO on you if you just got butted? Would that have made him a bigger man?

No doubt that Nate made a premature decision. I think he assumed (being clear as day) that the headbutt was ruled. If Nate was a quitter, he would have quit against Funeka when he had nothing to gain by fighting. I've always told Nate that his fight with Funeka was as important as his fight with Diaz. He already lost his belts on the scale, was sucked dry from trying to make weight, was clearly overpowered by a much bigger guy and still dug down deep to pull out a W. If he was a quitter, that was the time to do it. Oh and Bradley (nor anyone else for that matter) doesn't want any part of a guy like Funeka.

If i thought i'd lose my vision, i'd quit without hesitation, live to fight another day and make more money in the future What he said....

keep in mind that Nate screwed himself a bit because he acts like such a badass all the time. you would think a guy like that would keep fighting. if his injury was really severe and in the end it turns out quitting was in the best interests of his health, then that's fine. he will have to deal with it, we won't. the record will say loss via tko. from my own personal perspective I believe i was screwed out of watching a good fight because of an unfortunate accident that sometimes happens in boxing, it's a physical game. i'm also mature enough to know pointing fingers will do no good. why get on here and call either guy a pussy?

lol, if the damage is bad enough to cause me to lose vision. Then yeah. But just a cut, nah. Do you know how big you can boost your career if you fight with an obvious injury? Everyone loves the guy who keeps on fighting through adversity = big monayyyy. But would I keep fighting like SRL did against Hearns? Detatched retina... hell nah. If I started seeing the floating dot/mosquito that wont go away from my field of vision. I'm taking a knee and gtfo of there. I don't know if i agree. Fighting through adversity makes you a fight fans fighter, as Nate seems to be, but it wasn't until Arturo met Micky when they started making some cash. Some of the biggest cash cows of the business don't fight with the heart that we'd like them to. And again, i don't think Nate's cut was the issue he was having which is why he emphatically told his corner he couldn't see.

i don't beleive that campbell really wanted the fight stopped to avoid serious injury, though. i think his plan was to try and grab a nd since it was early, and rematch without anything affecting him in the fight.

It generally depends on the situation and the type of wound. For example I think Vitali Klitschko had a good chance of having permanent damage in the Lennox Lewis fight if he continued.That cut was terrible. On the other hand Jorge Barrios and Arturo Gatti fought on with horrendous cuts themselves in the Freitas and Hutchinson fights respectively and didn't.Barrios even had a busted ear drum. And in the case of McClellan I doubt he made the decision.His sisters said he wanted to stop it after 6 but Stan Johnson didn't wanna hear it. Nobody truly knows but the fighter himself. Nate's trainers seemed to want him to continue based on the first view of the cut. That's their job....to fix the cut and get back to work. Nate obviously thought something was wrong. This is an instance when knowing the rules played against him. I don't know what was in Nate's head at the time, but i'm guessing he knew that living and fighting another day would go down as a ND. I remember thinking back when Jesse James Leija seemed to bitch out of a fight only to find out he had a busted ear drum. Things aren't always what they seem.

It's not that Nate didn't want to fight, guys. It's that he SAID to stop the fight even before the doctor looked at him. All he had to do was wait until the doctor looked at him to say he was seeing spots and no one would have had a problem with the stoppage. But instead, he was getting his ass beat and said to stop the fight. The cameras caught him saying it.

Nate is 37 fighting a fast strong young fighter,boom,headbutt,can't see,it happened before the end of 4,he made the right choice,that's what people need to understand!!The ref is supposed to protect fighters,not hang em out to dry!!Nate was obviously bothered by the cut when Bradly was firing away,did the ref do anything right??
