Why did Diaz quit in round 6?

[mathed]

What a total dumbass. Great performance by Marquez, but Diaz totally gave the fight away

Like I said well in advance, Marquez would cut Diaz and hurt him

[MANGLER]

He just started gettin his ass whooped a lil more in the mid rds. He never quit.

[Porter's Dad]

He just doesn't really know how to watch a boxing match.

I'd say he knows exactly what happened, but he just seems to get off on being a provocative little ***** and demeaning fighters.

I don't get that part. Most people would give these guys props for fighting the best they could.

Instead, he comes up with Diaz quit.

Myself, I think he's projecting....

cuz that's what he would do.

[BadNewz]

Cuz he didn't want to fight no more after the cut, just like against Campbell. Little college boy has no heart.

[HappySlip]

He was clearly winning the fight then just completely stopped fighting. I don't get it. Now Marquez is landing tons of punches and has him cut. Why would a volume puncher with a pressure style just stop fighting all of a sudden?

Hes not winning.. Marquez just let diaz show what he got but then marquez got bored and said **** it I'm gonna finish this and then bam!! You all know what happened...

as soon i saw the 3 uppercuts i knew JMM had this fight in the bag uppercuts seem to be going in style lol

[The Hammer]

because he took hella bombs to the body not to mention precise shots to the face and couldn't take it anymore.
he's never been in against a guy of Marquez's caliber.

Correct.

JMMs punches were harder and more accurate, and they were gradually taking their toll on Juan.

I kind of agree, but this was before the cut happened. Diaz looked incredible the first two rounds, then Shields asked him for a BOXING round? I couldn't believe that. That's just terrible corner work because Marquez definitely won the 3rd round and got back into the fight after he had been hurt in the 2nd.

A lot of you are missing the point. I am asking why he quit pressing in round 6. He hadn't taken many body punches at that point. It wasn't until round 6 that Marquez started destroying him to the body, but I'm asking why Diaz came out plodding that round when he was clearly winning the fight with his pressure.

I was thinking the same thing, I said to my brother "Did he just break his hand or something?"
