Did Cotto Quit In The First Fight Against Tony?

[BoxingGenius27]

Mak: he quit
BoxingGoober: he didn't quit
Bazooka: he quit
BoxingGoober: i agree with you bazooka

Trollavelli, it's obvious you've never been in a fight or competed in any kind of sport besides "pass the dutch". Just quit while you're ahead. I just got off work and don't feel like embarrassing you further in you're own thread anymore.

in a way he quit but if there's such thing as good quitting that was it. when he took a knee it's obvious he can still stand up and throw punches but it will just worsen his already bad situation, taking more damage could've been fatal so he did the right thing...took a knee and quit.

chillin maing...lookin forward to the fight on Saturday...i made bets for Tony but i actually want Miguel to win

Don't know how anybody could not see it as quitting. If it was the other way round, you wouldn't see Margarito running away and taking a knee.

you should learn the definition of 'quit' and apply it to your posting habits

i thought it was common knowledge that NOT WANTING to fight back anymore and taking a knee was universally considered as quitting

but on this thread below

sorry man in just hate this mexican puerto rican thing its dumb we are all latinos and i just wish people on here would be more aware of that...it is a great rivalry my fave boxer growing up was chavez

The rivalry is good for the sport, this fight however and the controversy has brought out the bad in Latinos a lot of emotion going in to this.

Yes he quit,i wont call him a ***** because it wasnt like an Ortiz quit against Maidana,but he took a knee,he quit,simple as that

Disagree there to, yes Ortiz quit but what made him look b!tch like was the interview and his choice of words during that interview, that was a violent fight, and just before he quit, look at the body shots that Maidana laid on him.. it was beaten out of him to

cotto was beating margos ass..but has to learn to clinch and turn him..he fought dumb and payed for it and quit,es clearly the better fighter but has to learn the intangibles

You need to learn how to score, that fight was dead even going into the 11th

lmao i see you havent change i dont know who im going to bet on yet but i will place one myself dont know on who....im rooting for cotto but hey i bet with my head not my heart

[BOLLOCKS]

Me personally... I think he got beaten to the point where he just couldn't fight anymore... the guy had nothing left... he was exhausted, his face was covered in blood, battered and beat, his legs had nothing left, he could barely stand anymore.

I'd say he fought as long and as hard as his body could let him.

I'd never label someone like Cotto a quitter...

At the end of the day, it's an opinionated topic, that's mine.

If this was teh case, he'd had been carried out on a stretcher. He was tried, there's no denying that, but he could have stayed on his feet if he wanted to.
