Should be a TKO victory?

He was asked if he wanted to continue fighting, and his corner said no. He quit. Point deduction would have suffice but because of the ringside official's bad call, he got away with quitting. The issue becomes that his opponent would have been given an advantage as the result of a foul. You can't win a fight by fouling your opponent. The only way a TKO should be awarded is if the damage is caused as the result of a punch.

threads like this make me wonder how long some people have been following boxing,whats next if you drop kick a man and he cant continue you win? Holy ****, man I can't believe the kind of fans BScene has now. They don't even know the rules and think you can win by fouling your opponent. WTF happened to this place?

Technically speaking no it shouldn't. It was an accidental headbutt, if the fighter is deemed unfit or unwilling to fight then it goes to the scorecards after 5. True, the ringside physician should be able to assess if a fighter is fit to continue fighting and stop the fight if he needs to, however for this fight it seemed like the decision to stop the fight came from Garcia's corner.

Thanks for replying. I was just genuinely curious, that is why I asked. I mean technically speaking it should have been really a TKO or maybe not, I dunno.. But I see your point as well.

Bro, i understand where you are coming from BUT the broken nose came from an accidental head butt. Too unfair of an advantage from an accidental injury. Thanks for replying.

How about I score a TKO victory by punching my opponent in the nuts or biting his ear off? He was asked if he wanted to continue fighting, and his corner said no. He quit. Point deduction would have suffice but because of the ringside official's bad call, he got away with quitting.

Headbutts, low blows, those kinda sh*t happens in boxing all the time. But it shouldn't be used as an excuse to b*tch out of a fight. And the thing is, he was asked if he wanted to continue and the corner said to stop it. If you're an official you stop a fight based on their capabilities to continue fighting, you don't ask them if they want to continue fighting and then go to the scorecard. The guy quit, simple as that...

If a fighter was asked if they want to continue fighting by a ref or a doctor and they said no. Wouldn't that be ruled a TKO victory in favor of the opponent. Regardless if they are leading in the scorecard??? No man he hit him with a damn headbutt not a punch...you cant win via headbutt

So you can score a TKO victory by landing a mother ****in got damn head butt?!?! WOW.
