Pernell was so brilliant as a boxer, even when losing

It's funny how nobody is/did attack Pernel like everyone did Hatton (over the drug use)... Different time?

Pea was not the same in that fight with Tito.

In the last rounds of the Trinidad fight, Pernell was beaten up and exhausted. So he began to grab. At one moment, instead of "doing the Cotto" and taking a knee, he seats down in the corner, forcing Trinidad to back up and the ref to come. He effectively got a breather without letting Tito get another knockdown. Later, he faked low blows, with mixed results. That's what intelligent fighters do. actually pernell was dealing with tito pretty good until he ran out of gas...that was post coked out pea...

:rofl: Ok Max. He even avoided a knockdown in the 12th by avoiding punches while sitting.
