Fighters suffer worse injuries as the result of both accidental and intentional fouls and fight on all the ****ing time. Whether the blow which causes the injury is legal or not isn't the point - The point is that you retaliate with your fists, not by b*tching to the referee to get out of the fight because you've built up a comfortable lead.

Answer me this one question though.

True or False : Garcia was fading and Salido was heating up when the stoppage came?

Give me one other example in the history of the sport of a fight being stopped for a broken nose as a result of an accidental foul.

I'll wait.

Derrick Samuels vs. Michael Broadnax

Your turn.

True.

Salido needed a KO to win.

Garcia didn't need to land another punch to win the fight.

Obvious that Salido was going to try something dirty as he was getting more and more desperate.

How is it 'obvious' that Salido was going to try something dirty when he never did anything dirty during the times when it would've benefitted him most? (Early on, before he got behind on points)

The headbutt was ruled accidental, so it cannot be considered a dirty move.

Unless you're going to tell me that you have more experience in judging fouls than Benjy Esteves?

Why would you fight dirty early on when you don't need to?

Late in that fight Orlando knew the only way he could win was by KO and got desperate.

In my opinion that headbutt looked intentional regardless what the referee said. A lot of other people thought the same.

If you were in his shoes, would you take the chance that the desperate Salido continues his dirty tactics and you fail at becoming a World Champion because of it?

As a human being, I completely understand why he did it. As a fan, I would've liked to see him try and fight through the situation. I think Garcia was in control of the fight and could have still gotten the stoppage because the opportunity was there. His punches were having an affect on Salido and he had him stunned on numerous occasions. Could Salido have gotten dirtier? Could his nose injury have worsened with an elbow shot or another headbutt? Probably. It's not like I know how much pain he was in, so IDK what I would do. There's been fighters that have experienced injuries and kept going. I don't hate Garcia for taking the out when it presented itself, but I have a greater appreciation for the fighters who stay in there even when the opponent is not their only concern.
