    I really wish it had been someone better that this happened to.

    We'll never know now, because all the people defending Ortiz can't backtrack if something similar happens in the future, but I'm about 95% certain that if Andre Ward or Sergio Martinez or Nonito Donaire or either Klitchsko had suffered a broken jaw late in a fight they were winning and quit without trying to gut it out at all, we would not be seeing so much sympathy and understanding right now.

    Imagine if Floyd or Pac had quit here, man. This site would still be down from all the people wanting post hate.

    People underestimate the severity of a broken jaw. That is all.

    I don't care if X fighter continued, I think X fighter is ****** for further endangering his severe injury and possibly ending his own career at that very moment.

          but what is the excuse for not even trying? Why cant he just go out in the 10th, box, jab, stick, move, run, and see what happens? If he does that, gets hit hard a few times and quits then no one rips him but he doesnt even try. He paniced and was calling for the ref. He didnt wanna hear his corner out at all. He wouldnt even give them a chance to speak.

          Again, Lopez isnt some dominant pressure fighter and Ortiz was doing well when he boxed anywyas. He gave up

              and you underestimate the power of a man's balls.

              Use them sometimes- they might surprise you.

              I know if Ortiz had any hindsight, and he knew what would have happened after he quit again, he would most likely do anything to go back and do it again.

                  title. pride. reputation.


                  for some fighters, that's enough to keep going
