If you TAP out then its ok, but if you dont continue a fight then youre a *****??

he said in the post fight his legs were gone and getting up quick is overated, veteran boxers know not to get up quick they stay down till the 8 count and re coup their legs. Victor was def hurt in this fight, Maidana is a power puncher and victor took alot of shots in the dome. Plus look at his face, he was cut and his eye was badly swollen. Hes 22, it doesnt make sence to continue.

Corrales was hurt against Castillo, didn't stop him from turning the tides.Ortiz is not a warrior. Katsidis was serious hurt by Casamayor and didn't quit. Katsidis was taking a one sided beatdown by diaz, and he still didn't quit.

It can be a bit different, like if, I don't know, Brock Lesnar has you in an arm bar and your arm is seconds away from snapping in two, you are forgiven for tapping. But as much of a beating Wlad gave Chagaev the other night i'll never condone his giving up, as a 'Champion' of the world you never give up!!!!

either way its a matter of health right? If brock has you in a armbar youre tapping because you dont want your arm broken, in boxing you dont continue because you dont wanna end up in a coma after the fight.

too bad, boxing dont have tap out.

You cant expect anyone to do what Corrales did, And where is Katsidis now?

Still fighting, from what I can remember he just won a fight not too long ago.

Is that whats going on?, in MMA if you tap out your'e given up right?, its like youre saying "this guy has me iam beat"...In boxing if youre hurt like Ortiz was and you the boxer says "thats it, no more" then youre a ***** right?....I mean when youre beat or hurt then shoudnt that be it? whats the point of continuing and risking your career and more importantly your life just to impress a crowd and audience of people that have never been in a fight their whole life.

in MMA you can't fight anymore if someone chokes you and you can't breath anymore. basically you're dead.

Also, an mma fight could continue with one combatant suffering a a broken arm or leg from a hold/lock/etc... but what's the point? the combatant without the injury/disability has too much of an advantage and the fight should be stopped.

so in essense, you have no case.

Katsidis is still looking pretty decent, he only lost 2 fights in his career and won his last fight. I know Katsidis would have no problems moving up to fight Ortiz at 140. Katsidis knows he'll have to work hard to earn the top fights again and if that means going through Ortiz he'd do it.

That's the difference between boxing and MMA. I think there's a difference between getting knocked out and getting your arm ripped off or being choked to death while you still have your senses. I don't see the mma cats tapping because they got hit too hard.

actually on saturday two guys in the same card lost by submission due to strikes, i will admit i haven't seen it happen before then but still. I do agree with you in general though.

Fair enough its a matter of health and a matter of opinon, and a matter of healthy opinion.....

Yeah I've seen it happen before by the ref but I've never seen a fighter tap because he was being punched in the face.
