Aaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhh thats what i have been saying. I have said that Oscar could have got up and that he was not as hurt as he made out. He wanted a way out and he got one. But the punch still did enough to fell him, he obviously wasn't as mentally strong as he usually is and that can affect how a fighter performs and takes punches. -
That is NOT what you've been saying.
See the part where I said "a real pro takes it & doesn't let it show" ?
Wouldn't you assume that means keeping his ass off the floor ?
Tell me....you've never had the wind knocked out of you, but remained calm & ON YOUR FEET ?
If not, just how much boxing have you done ?
& WHY IS IT ACCEPTABLE that this man quit ?Comment

What are you on? I have consistantly said that Oscar was not as hurt as he made out and that maybe he could have got up.Originally posted by jabsRstiff
Of course i have had the wind knocked out of me and yes i have remained on my feet and fought on. Oscar did not see that punch coming, even the less powerful of punches can knock you down when not expecting them.
I never actually said it was acceptable that he quit either i was just stating that is was a genuine knockdown.Comment

So...you're admitting Oscar could have gotten up.
This makes him a quitter, right ?Comment

If you word it like that then yes he is a quitter. I have no shame in admitting that because i'm not a Oscar fan, i was routing for Bernard that fight like most people were. The odds were against him before he entered the ring. The only thing he counted on was that Bernard had got seriously old overnight.Originally posted by jabsRstiffComment

His reaction to that punch was legit. I've only seen a couple guys flop, (Bruce Seldon, anyone?) and you can tell instantly when they are acting. Oscar was hurt!Comment

Did De La Hoya take a dive? No. I had always noticed that De La Hoya never took body shots well, especially at 147 and up. He got hit with a left hook he didn't see, and was deflated by it. He got hit right at the top of the vulnerable area. Oscar is an intelligent business man, and he signed one of the pound for pound best. He's not a fight thrower, but a guy looking to make a quick buck.Comment

Its just all too su****ous, and everything is just so convenient in the end. Perect shot this, perfect shot that, tell you the truth I didn't even see the punch until the instant replay. When Oscar went down I was like WTF happened?? And I'm sure I'm not the only one.Comment

No way Oscar took a dive, he got beat.Comment
