      Labelling it quitting because another fighter with a similar type of injury kept fighting is always problematic, unless you know they both have the exact same degree of injury.

      I dont see how angulo could continue to fight given his injury. We agree you can play hurt but you cant play injured. Angulo was injured, ortiz was injured. Margarito and abraham weren't. if they were they couldn't of continued.
      your taking nuthugging to a whole new level brah

      so the broken orbital bone that margarito sustained , he should of "quit" right.same goes for abraham , can i ask you why they didn't quit? i'll answer for you............because they have something deep down inside of them that won't allow them to quit. here's a famous quote for you!

      “Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.”

      on the night of there injurys , abraham , paulie and margarito had that will. angulo didn't , he "quit"

        A broken jaw is not an injury? So not only the definition of quitting has been changed but also being injured as well? Consider me educated today thanks boxingscene.

          Only if it fits into your argument... then it's ok.

            Other fighters who finished a fight with a broken jaw : Pernell Whitaker, Tommy Morrison, Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali, Takefumi Sakata, Ray Mercer, Jess Willard, and Razor Ruddock.

            Thankfully, none of them were injured.

                Whoa. Calm down, dude. Nobody is faulting Angulo for quitting except you. We're just having a bit of fun with the new definitions of the words 'quit' and 'injury', coutesy of Dumb ****etts and Big Dunn.

                    I think you need to concede that there's a negative connotation when using the word "quit" in boxing and sports in general.

                    Again, it's semantics to be honest but i think we need to be honest in the way people are accusing Angulo of "quitting".

                    He couldn't go on because of a serious injury, the man is far from a quitter and one of the toughest dudes in boxing. To equate what he did to anything else remotely close to "quitting" is not doing the man justice.

                    He couldn't continue because of an injury, much different than quitting in the way most use this word here.

                      angulo stopped boxing, held up his hand, and turned away. that is the definition of quitting.

                      he's not a coward, but he did quit.
                      This is where it should end.

                      Did Angulo make the right decision in quitting? I think so. He thought his career and health was more important and will live to fight another way.

                      Some fighters have no quit in them and will never quit no matter what. I.e Margarito.

                      But by actual definition, Angulo quit fighting. This is a stone cold, black and white, clear, undeniable fact.
