Was roach right in stopping the fight?

Ok, my point is Gerry could have been given the respect he needed. Oscar dela Hoya was given the respect he needed, and continued in spite of the trainers and was asked repeatedly, until he clearly agreed.

Roach actually forced the issue, and Gerry did not like it. And I hope when Gerry goes to pay his debts and end up short, losing hope in life you would have the guts to help him, which you can`t. Give him a break too, he was fighting not only for his life but his future and family in financial crisis. He is a prize fighter and he was denied the prize all his life.

They actually took and denied him his last good fight. And what may have been. You see the stats, yet you deny him being still there fighting like a true warrior. He only needed to breathe, no breaks were given.

But the past is the past, no use arguing about spilled milk.

nah, everybody respect GP, but letting him continue to the 12 is ******.

I have made big bets for Gerry though at first I thought he shouldve continued I swayed to the opinion that it was also good that they stopped it. Despite the TKO, I think a lot of people will still remember that Gerry didnt go down in spite of a record number of punches thrown and landed. There was no way that Gerry wouldve won it ( except for the lucky punch that was about to come in the 11th round )

And the decision came from someone who is suffering the diseases brought about by the hazard of the sport. Also it was good to have preserved JL's KO streak. They all feel that Gerry can take it to Round 15 despite the onslaught.

Indeed, I think Roach was right in stopping the fight. Penalosa was never in the fight to begin with and would of only continued to take more punishment from the younger fresher Champion in Lopez. Penalosa hardly even complained when it was stopped, as he was a very beatan down fighter who'd took alot of punishment.

But no dout Penalosa has one hell of a chin and is was tough cookie......

Gerry is a humble guy, he didnt protested because he didnt want to argue with Freddie but you can hear him saying he is Ok and wants to continue.
