He quit great, He isn't too dumb to realise that he cannot fight with a broken jaw, he took control and use his common sense by quitting to fight another day, Am sure he works everything out in his mind before quitting, He would have probably got beaten up pretty bad and then his jaw would have been even worse, So am glad to see a boxer who isn't afraid to quit, A boxer who isn't too scared to be called out for quitting with a broke jaw, A boxer who isn't too pre-occupied with the ******, dumb and childish "Warrior" tag that idiots love to throw around.

1) You haven't stepped in the boxing ring.
2) You haven't fought with a broken jaw.
You being involved in street fights is irrelevant, the mentality is completely different. In a street fight it could very well be fight or be killed, in which case there's nothing to be gained through refusing to fight when the damage is too much.
I think people overlook how dangerous of a sport boxing is, one clean punch could destroy someone's career or life for that matter. It actually takes a lot of concentrations for fighters to position themselves in away that reduces the amount of punches they receive or how well they land, it also takes a lot of concentration to react to punches in a way that reduces the impact. When you're in a lot of pain your concentration diminishes meaning that the flush shots received would more than likely increase.
It is all well and good saying ''If it was me I'd enter try things out in the 10th round'' but when you have an angry bull going for your head communicating with the ref or your corner that you can do no more could be a little bit difficult.Comment

I like Ortiz because he brings it usually every fight but he lacks a lot in the heart department. There is no doubt he quit in this fight, like he's done in other fights.Comment

Ortiz is a quiter because the better man didn't beat him. Ortiz is always looking for a way out of the kitchen when it gets to hot.
When Ortiz was over powering Lopez with big shots and Lopez was lifting his gloves for more, Lopez took Ortiz's heart by showing him he wasn't going anywhere. If you replay it, you clearly see Lopez intimidating Ortiz by urging him to fight after Ortiz was landing on him hard. You could see in Ortiz body language that he wanted out cause he couldn't stop Lopez's hunger. Ortiz had already quit before his jaw was injured.
Lopez was beautiful last night.Comment

Was anyone else waiting for the "i dont deserve to get hit like that" comment during the post fight interview?
Probably why Garcia rushed him outta the ringComment

I agree. Garcia was actually great last night. Tried to keep Ortiz in knowing Ortiz was a head on the cards with only a few rounds to go in which Ortiz could have cruise and also for preventing Ortiz to further tarnish his rep by not allowing to talk.Comment

We already know Ortiz is a mental midget. Why beat the dead horse is all I'm saying??Comment
