quitting kinda takes it ruins a fighters rep..but boxing is a very difficult sport..the mental pressure is much greater than the physical. So i guess its ok to quit if you feel its not worth getting hurt over, but if somebody doesn't wanna quit thats their choice and they should be handed respect for it.

I Excuse Duran Because He Is A Fighter & Leonard Refused To Engage Him In A Fight As He Did In The First Fight Duran Got Tired Of Throwing Bombs In The Air Which Wears U Out &watching Leanard Shake His Ass Run Around (while Peppering Him) Frustration But Duran Would Never Quit In A Slugfest No Matter How HurtComment

Is it ok for a fighter to quite? Absolutly, of their is risk for serious injury then quite, but quiting just b/c your losing isn't good. It's not up to the fighters corner, it's up to the fighter only. Like someone said on another thread, this isn't in the roman times, we arent watching gladiators fight to the death, if you would rather see a fighter not quite and die in the ring then you have a seriouse problem. No one really knows why a fighter would quite except the fighter himself, i personally rather a fighter quite preventing seriouse injury and go on and fight again.Comment

Why not give respect to a fighter who quites. He knows what the repercussions are for quiting but he's gonna go and make that decision, and probably a really hard decision for that fighter. Depending on the reason why he quites ofcourse.Originally posted by adeelrComment

Originally posted by KJShould not have to come to that, the corner should stop the fight if a fighter gets beaten. Saves face and reputation for the fighter.
I think the Golota-Tyson end is very funny (if you are not golota or related to him), the corner trying to force the mouth piece in and Golota firmly keeping its mouth closed, trying to turn his head but the chief second holding his head. This was a fight within the boxing match.
I actually seen a rebrodcast of that fight that was aired about a week later that showed Golotas corner and you could hear everything his corner was saying. The best part is when his trainer first realized that Andrew was wanting to quit he said something like "awwwwww! don't you do this you c*cksucker!" Classic line from his trainerComment

its not ok to quit because you are loosing, quiting because you have serious injury or are taking alot of punishment is diffrent freitas,duran, and chavez were not hurt seriously and they were not going to get brain damage from those particular fights they quit in. alot of people say boxing is mental and that is why they quit i agree but just in that is mental once they start reading all the press on who they quit it will be worst than if they just finished the fight.Comment

Its Ok To Quit If U Feel Like U Cant Win The Fight And In Ur Mind Ur Gonna Get Hurt. But That Just Shows U Have Small Balls And U Dont Have The Competitive Spirit Or The Heart To Say One Punch And Can Turn It Around For You. If U Quit U Will Regret It After The Fight And U Have To Live With People Calling You A Quitting Little *****.what Do U Remember Duran 4?Comment
