I think he could have continued and was making up the "burning sensation" in both eyes.

Most found it curious he was walking around eyes fine shortly after being incapable of opening his eyes.. Him quitting seems like a forgone conclusion for many, but I'd like to hear from those who think he did not quit.

You think he thought he was ahead on cards? Or just didn't like the way the fight was going and wanted out.. I didn't think Bradley was beating up too brutally..

Yup. The headbutt King makes you quit. He lands one of those things flush, it's over that's a wrap. Your will is gone. I don't blame Devon for quitting, just about anyone would. The fact that he fought like a coward that night, I blame him for that.

He could have thought he was ahead or that he was lagging behind and it was getting worse for him as the rounds go on so why not take the chance while you might still have the possibility of a cheap TD win.

So your saying the headbutt is so powerful, it's enough by itself to make a man quit but not even knock him down? I would think his desire to quit came more from frustration and his inability to get punches off.

lol course he did, the last headbutt was no way near the cut he was complaining about.

[DrewWoodside]

Bongo Bob, explain yourself. You're the only one to vote no. Alexander, Cunningham is that you?

this sh** is soooo bad for the sport

this was meant to be a throwback... both young, both undefeated, both in their primes, both champions, no catchweight bs and it wasnt a big money fight either...

all the ****** things that usually get in the way of gr8 fights had been removed and you decide to QUIT ??

MMA guys are rolling around with blood pouring out everywhere.... Devon was meant to be a future star and instead he disgraced himself, the sport and his title... remember the WBC was the title that Meldrick Taylor defended with every fibre of his being before being stopped in the 12th by jcc

I wouldnt have minded if he just lost.... but QUIT ???

Paulie's right - he's a punk
