yo, my gramps said that in Mexico, if you turned your back and ran during a fight....

[2501]

you would get disqualified. any truth to this? he said this was pre 80's.

[boxing_pundit85]

if that was the case here PBF would have about 10 losses. haha beat you floyd haters to the punch.

^...........

as for the thread I can see how this can be true, mad crazy **** happened in Boxing so to hear something like this happening doesn't surprise me, over the years I have heard about ref's counting to 20 instead of 10, guys wrapping their hands with cement and much more craziness.. even referee's stopping fights with only 2 seconds left for a clear loser, this falls right into place and I doubt ya pops will lie to you, he must have saw or read something and it's very believeable..

have I heard anything about it? no, do I believe it? yes, just one of the many many crazy events that go down in Boxing.. 100

[LOLORSKATES]

Floyd doesn't turn his back (unless you count wobbling away from Judah after taking a shot to the nuts, sure)

[boxing_pundit85]

i know he doesnt, i was just anticipating some ****** comment from a hater.

[Fox McCloud]

Well... I've seen a couple of fights stopped recently when this happens. Cotto-Judah for example.

It's a pretty clear indicator that you are in trouble, or don't want to fight anymore.

I think he's referring to the soto-guzman fight.

[VIVA MEXICO!!!]

we dont tolerate cowards in mexico. if your not willing to fight like a warrior you dont belong in the ring.

Actually I heard it was because everyone who can run is already in America...

LMAO ^...I already made a post saying to leave this nationalist b.s. out of a serious boxing forum(in my attempt to generate more intelligent and somewhat objective boxing talk), but you may call how most mexican's fight being a warrior, i call it fighting and not boxing. the objective of boxing is to hit and not get hit, not push forward constantly and take a beating while seeing who has more power and a better thin. In my opinion, and in the opinions of virtually all boxing judges, that is fighting and not boxing. Oscar is a great BOXER, but if you want to generalize mexican boxers as warriors, i would have to disagree and call them fighters.
