    manny looked like he wanted to quit

    imo manny looked like he wanted to stop the fight. the dr was asking him if he wanted to continue. his face said it all. he didnt. i think it was funny that when joe cortez was giving him the instructions, manny understood just fine. **** he was even asking joe questions in english. but when the ref asked him if he wanted to continue, manny said HUH? that **** was funny me and my boys we like HA he wants to quit. when they told him it was ruled cause by a cut. he had no choice but to fight on. i give props to joe cortez for not calling that cut accidental headbutt in such a bigtime fight!

    everyone looks like they wanted to quit a fight at some point...we are all human and can get discouraged...but hard for onlookers to determine that...

    he didn't look like he wanted to quit by the 12th round though...he finished the fight with an effort and that says it all right there...

      he had no choice the cut was ruled by a punch. he wouldnt have won the fight if it went to the cards and he knew that. **** arce didnt look like he wanted to quit with that big ass cut. if you didnt understand what he said when they asked him if he was ok. he said im ok dr im winning this fight. and pounded his chest. thats a true warrior!

        so what is your ultimate goal here? to make Pacman out to be a quitter? it has been proven in the past that a fighter can still be considered one of the greats even if you say "I quit" during a fight...but Pac finished with determination...limited abilities...but with determination

          Manny doesn't seem as a fighter who wants to quit, even if he got big beatings from Morales. He isn't Acelino Freitas qho quitted like a chicken against Corrales.

              no i give him props for finishing the fight. but i think the whole thing of being in a big time fight like that, with cuts was too much for him. u got to show up too fight. you cant look for a way out. if he was then yeah i would say he is a quitter. if thats not true then my bad. i made a bad observation.

                it's all good...but it is obviously hard to tell...Pac may have been in his own world...or discouraged (discouraged doesn't mean quitter)...he may have been worrying about the cut too much...blood in his eye...trying to think about how he could beat Morales...or something...and he very well could have been ready to quit...who knows...but for a man to finish the fight the way he did...blood in his eyes and still throwing bombs...that says it all...actions speak louder than words and facial expressions...there is a difference between wanting to quit (if he did, but no one knows) but finishing with determination and wanting to quit but actually quitting...

                pac is no quitter...Freitas is...

                  i don't get the point here... I did not see the fight yet, but as far as i can see the fight was a great, please let us not take away the greatness of this fight, by discrediting the figther for something that DID NOT HAPPEN!!!

                  Props to Erick the best p4p fighter ...
