Did Peterson essentially quit?

[johncods]

pretty much. He was on his way to getting stopped.

[boxing pundit]

I think it started around the time after he got knocked down, so it's quite possible.

Either way, he's a ***** for fighting like that.

Idk I have to see the tape again...

Idk you see it from your eyes and I see it with mine
Haha

Yes, he intentionally got DQ'd rather than getting brutally KTFO like he would have in a round or 2 most likely.

[nozorok]

It's possible but it could be he was just acting out his frustration similar to how Abraham hit Dirrell on the ground and RJJ clocking Griffin. Gamboa also intentionally nailed Salido behind the head when he was down out of frustration as well. I'm not sure that automatically qualifies as quitting but it's definitely unsportsmanlike conduct and dirty.

"I dont remember ever hitting him low"---Peterson

Maybe he thought he nuts were a couple of speed bags

ahahahahahahaha

[Silencers]

I'm not sure if it was quitting but he went Golota on Rios.

[CUNTLEE]

yep.........

[FrankJack]

I'd say he quit. I mean, I could see their being an argument if now and again single punches were straying border line, but Anthony was putting punches in bunches landing pretty far down there. He was likely to get ko'ed soon, so I also believe he wanted a way out. Peterson lost some respect from this fight, Rios on the other hand did his thing. Def. interested in how Rios fairs in the future.

[SUPREME.]

Only he and God know.
