Did Cotto Quit In The First Fight Against Tony?

[THE REED]

Lol No. On the second knee, Margarito didn't even touch him. Cotto took a knee and looked to his corner in desperation his uncle knew what Cotto wanted. Cotto quit.

2:38



Cotto looks at his corner for a brief second... stands up and faces the ref, and willingly accepts the ref giving him the standing 8 count... if at that point the ref didnt stop him, or the corner never came in, and the ref would of said fight... the clock would of continued and the fight would go on.

Obviously NOT MUCH LONGER... but the fact is... he DID get up... he DID watch the ref give him a standing 8 count.

If Cotto truly wanted to quit, he would of just stayed on his knee until he was counted out.

He cheated on his wife and he beat up his defenseless old man uncle.

Tony on the other hand is a hero to his people and a wonderful loving husband and father to many orphaned kids in Tijuana where he devotes his time to helping the needy.

Get off my internet.

he is no hero...sorry to break it to ya but i know a lot old heads mexicans that cant stand tony or what he did...they say only the youngins that are naive would like that guy, he might be tough and all but he is no mexican warrior

[Phenom]

Don't you have to stay down to quit?

He took a knee for a break from the damage, but got back up.

The only reason the fight was stopped was that the towel was thrown in.

I voted yes but I'm rethinking the vote.

but he wasn't even touched Marg didn't throw a punch

No when it runs out of gas it hasn't quit on you, it's out of gas.

Except that Cotto Pinto ran outta gas cuz' he was getting strafed by a tank. So he was forced to quit or get totally smashed up.

[Larry the boss]

See it's threads like these that tell a person who's ever been in a real fight and who's ever been an athlete in any kind of sport in their life. You can tell who's a couch warrior and who's been in real action. No matter if you fought in the ring, played basketball, football, or whatever; when you don't have legs and can't go anymore, you simply can't go anymore. You didn't quit.

Those that have been in real fights, know when someone simply doesn't have legs, punches, or anything left in the gas tank to continue. Or simply has had "enough" and can't continue. They know the difference between Ortiz and Cotto.

Those that are keyboard/couch warriors know how to sit behind a t.v and think someone quit simply because they wouldn't fight to the death for their own entertainment.

he had enough legs to run across the ring backwards tho



lol..damn

[Evil Abed]

He hadn't recovered from the previous exchange and was trying to recover then.

If he wanted to quit (We've seen it a thousand times) he would have stayed on his knee or got up at 10 to make it seem like kinda wanted to fight.

He stood up shortly after going down. Not typical behavior of a quitter IMO.

That right there means he didn't quit. Whether it was because of a tank or a tricycle.

He quit because there was no reason to retreat half across the ring to then take a knee right as Margarito was getting closer unless he didn't want to fight anymore. He wanted to get out of there and his corner got the point.
